How to convert flash lite 1.1 to AS2?

programming flash
1

I have the following code in flash lite 1.1 and would like to convert it into AS2

longN = length(point);
for (i=1; i<8; i++) {
    if (i>longN) {
        tellTarget ("s" add i) {
            gotoAndStop(11);
        }
    } else {
        test = substring(point, i, 1);
        tellTarget ("s" add i) {
            gotoAndStop(../:test+1);
        }
    }
}
stop();

Here is what I tried but it seems like not working:

function showNum(){          
  longN = length(point);    
    for (i=1; i<8; i++) {
        if (i>longN) {
            this["s" + i].gotoAndStop(11);        
        } else {
            test = substring(point, i, 1);
            this["s" + i].gotoAndStop(_root.test+1);            
        }
    }    
}

showNum();

BTW, what’s the different between length(point) and point.length? When I use point.length, it trace out undefined. Thanks in advance!
