Please Help! AS3 Syntax

programming flash
1

Hi

This is regarding the “Sliding Menu” (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/slidingMenu.htm) tutorial on this site… its in AS2. I tried translating it to AS3 as much as possible but this thing called ‘maskMovie’ just doesn’t work out!

The code is below:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1.x;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;
function menuSlide(input:MovieClip)
{
if (startFlag == false)
{

    startFlag = true;

    var finalDestination:Number = input.x;
    var distanceMoved:Number = 0;
    var distanceToMove:Number = Math.abs(finalDestination - currentPosition);
    var finalSpeed:Number = .3;
    var currentSpeed:Number = 0;
    var dir:Number = 1;

    if (currentPosition <= finalDestination)
    {
        dir = -1;
    }
    else if (currentPosition>finalDestination)
    {
        dir = 1;
    }

    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enteringFrame);
    function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void
    {
        currentSpeed = Math.round((distanceToMove-distanceMoved+1)*finalSpeed);
        distanceMoved +=  currentSpeed;
        contentHold.DisplayObject.x +=  dir * currentSpeed;
        if (Math.abs(distanceMoved - distanceToMove) <= 1)
        {
            [COLOR=Red]contentHold.DisplayObject.x = maskMovie.DisplayObject.x - currentPosition + dir * distanceToMove;[/COLOR]
            currentPosition = input.DisplayObject.x;
            startFlag = false;
            removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enteringFrame);
        }

    }
}

}

The “maskMovie” doesnt work. It says:

“Error 1120: Access of undefined property maskMovie” (i have highlighted the line in red)

Can someone please translate the code into AS3 syntax pleassse, this is urgent… or explain what this maskMovie is for?

your help is very much appreciated :smiley:

Thank you!
