Not sure why it took me so long to remember I was a member here and ask for help. You guys have always been great about giving good advice, and I’ve been beating my head against a wall with this for a week.
Summary of the problem. A few years ago, kirupa members UNFLUX and lostinbeta designed a Flash website for my company. The original design was published for Flash 6 and AS2. I’ve made a lot of modifications to the site since then (I finally actually learned Flash), and have so far been able to do what I need to, but now I’m stuck.
I recently figured out how to use the Google earth API and my company CEO wants to incorporate it into the website. Took me a bit to figure that out, but eventually realized I needed AS3 to get it to work as desired. So I upgraded to CS3, and got that working just fine. However, when I tried to incorporate it in the company’s Map and Directions page it broke the majority of the AS2 code, primarily a scroll, that I absolutely have to have work.
AS2 I can handle, but AS3 is spanking brand new to me and I had no idea how much things had changed. I plugged along and made some progress, but I’m not getting much help at actionscript.org where I’ve really been detailing what I’m doing. I’m hoping that someone here can give me some help to complete what I’ve started.
Rather than copying multiple large posts that I’ve made, if you would, please read the entire problem in my post at actionscript.org It pretty much explains everything and what I’ve done to date.

I included the FLA’s in a couple of those posts.
My progress yesterday led me to believe that my best solution would be to create a package and handle things from that angle. But prior to yesterday I’d never even seen an AS3 package.
I’m a quick learner and can follow directions, and pretty logical about troubleshooting on my own. But being a noob at AS3 really isn’t helping me much and I need to get this done.
I’ve been trying to track down lostinbeta who wrote the original action script, but I’ve lost touch with him. If anyone knows how to contact him could you let him know I’m looking for him? I left a message with UNFLUX, but haven’t seen him online all week.
Thanks for any help you can give. If you have any questions let me know. The website this page will go in is www.alaron-nuclear.com
