Help Translating AS2 to AS3 .as codes and shooting a sprite (graphic drawn)

1

Okay,

I tried this once before, but the code was lil bit busted. and didnt work out the kinks or stinks of the or’ deal. So what ima give is my Missile.as Script (as2). i need to revert it to As3…

then ima give the Hero.as (with the old attached script as2).

I need to translate it to work for my as3 application… Then i think i will solved all my
switch over issues…

Thank you anyone who helps.

missile.as (AS2)



class Missile extends MovieClip
{
    var speed;
    
function onLoad()
{
        
    speed = 20;
    this.swapDepths(_root.healthMeter);
}
function onEnterFrame()
{
    
    _x += speed;
    
    
    for(var i in _root.ship.enemies)
{
    if(this.hitTest( _root.ship.enemies* ) )
    {
        this.removeMovieClip();
        _root.ship.enemies*.explode();
    }

}
    
    if(_x > 600)
    {
        this.removeMovieClip();
    
    }
}

}

Old as2 (shoot command)



//Shooting Command
    if( Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && shootlimiter > 6 )
    {
    shootlimiter = 0;
    var missile = _root.attachMovie( "Missile" , "Missile" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth() );
    missile._x = _x + 110;
    missile._y = _y + 10;

New AS3 shoot command



public static function Shoot()
    {
       trace ("shoot");
    }

i need to swap out the (attach movie clip to AS3)
and set my old as2 (to as3). so it can properly talk.

(mind the (key commands) that has been changed and does work how i got it…
just need the proper syntax to get it for understand, Please if you can walk me through it so i can learn, and not havta be that bumb programmer that is learning from As2 to As3.

Thanks AGain

PS: To be honest, All i wanna do is make a drawn Sprite that we created to just shoot and pass the stage and remove itself… (ill worry bout hit testing when i get to my enemys again). This has been horrid but its coming around nicely…

and Secondly, Anyone know why, my backgrounds to my game, is always seems to be a bit jerky?.. optimize issues? or ideas. Anyone intrested in this ill post the .SWF on a private server to test and find the kinks…

Thanks again
