Hi guys,
I ran into a problem today with using an old file that utilizes actionscript 1.0. I tried placing a video component into the file and it doesn’t work. This leads me to believe I need to convert my old actionscript 1.0 to at least 2.0. The file is pretty simple. The old actionscript simply moves a movieclip at certain intervals when the play button is pressed or the slider bar is dragged. When I exported the movie using 2.0, the following errors occurred in the compile errors box.
Here is my actionscript that causes these errors.
[AS]
// playhead button coordinate
trace(_root.playheadBtn._x);
// playhead button moves strip
_root.stripMc1._x = (_root.playheadBtn._x-19.2)*(-10375.0/767.7)+20.4;
// play button
if (play == “go”) {
_root.playheadBtn._x = _root.playheadBtn._x+.06;
}
// pause button
if (play == “halt”) {
_root.playheadBtn._x = _root.playheadBtn._x;
}
// comment text
if (_root.playheadBtn._x>76 && _root.playheadBtn._x<84) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>230.5 && _root.playheadBtn._x<238.5) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>647.5 && _root.playheadBtn._x<655.5) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>306 && _root.playheadBtn._x<314) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>357 && _root.playheadBtn._x<365) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>509 && _root.playheadBtn._x<517) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>560 && _root.playheadBtn._x<568) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>610 && _root.playheadBtn._x<618) {
commentTb = “”;
} else if (_root.playheadBtn._x>660 && _root.playheadBtn._x<668) {
commentTb = “”;
} else {
commentTb = “”;
}
// Stop at end of strip
if (_root.playheadBtn._x>763.7) {
play = “halt”;
}
// Loop
gotoAndPlay(4);
[/AS]
I sincerely appreciate any help! Please let me know if I need to explain anything further. I have a feeling it is as simple as changing “halt” and “go” to something different…
Thanks in advance guys!
