I have been learning and working with SwishMax for some years, now.
Couldn’t afford Flash, and it was fun! I really like doing animation in SwishMax.
so…
For my final project for vicom161-actionscript, I did a comparison of SwishMax, and Macromedia Flash8.
To start, I took the latest version of my old SwishMax chatroom that was pretty much done in actionscript 1.0, and re-create it in Macromedia Flash8 using mostly actionscript 2.0
Started with this old SwishMax version:

Get the scripting all in one place, so button actions, and other functions and stuff isn’t scattered all over the dang place.
BTW…
I really like that about actionscript 2.0
Anyway…
Once this part is done, convert it back to SwishMax, changing as little as possible in the process.
All I had to change to make it work in SwishMax was the method used to move the background pictures in those masks, and the drag for the scrollbar, which by the way, was created from scratch, and not a component dragged out onto the stage…the math needs tweeking…
So, for those of you that like to do these comparisons, here are both versions on line, and here are the 2 zip files I have.
The only thing I didn’t add this time was the auto reload.
It wouldn’t be hard to add…quick loop, reload every 3 sec or so.
That was where the old one was set.
The chat room itself is not what what I am showing off so much here, as the line by line comparison I’ve done, and that is what I got the “A” for.
Just a note:
These files are a bit big on purpose, as part of the assignment was to do the preloader.
Sorry 'bout that…
