hi… its my first time post in this section of the forum…
i am having troubles on how to create an empty movie clip in Flash 5 AS… well this might be wierd for i am more comfortable creating scrips in Flash 8 but how come i’m here asking these questions to you guys…
in short… im super desperate to know how to make this work so i can solve my problem… its been 4 days since i’ve posted a thread on Flash 8 forum regarding this one but it seems that no one is willing to help me… or they just don’t feel like it… so im hoping that i could find the answers to my question here…
so here goes…
for the past days, i was trying to figure out how to convert the action script from a Flash 5 .fla file to a Flash 8.
i’ve tried changing the publish settings to default Flash 8 from Flash 5 settings but all i receive from the output were numerous error messages… obviously Flash 8 was rejecting most syntaxes in the Flash 5 AS.
most error messages points to variables with “/:” before it… can anyone tell me what does the symbol /: means?
example this is on the Flash 5 .fla file
Quote:
if (eval("/:text" add d) gt eval("/:text" add (d+1))) {
// perform swap:
temp = eval("/:text" add d);
set("/:text" add d, eval("/:text" add (d+1)));
set("/:text" add (d+1), temp);
temp = eval("/:link" add d);
set("/:link" add d, eval("/:link" add (d+1)));
set("/:link" add (d+1), temp);
}
also… can someone guide me if why these statements are wrong?:puzzled:
Quote:
Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=scripts, frame=2:Line 5: ‘)’ or ‘,’ expected
while (length (eval(“link” add n))>1) {
Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 31: ‘)’ or ‘,’ expected
if (eval("/:text" add d) gt eval("/:text" add (d+1))) {
and can you please help me create an empty movie clip in flash 5 using AS…
thankz in advance!:beam:
