Help needed with Flash AS2 to AS3 conversion, having major problems...
- by Mat
Hi all,
I have a project i need to update form AS2 to AS3 as i need some of the new functions available for vertical centering of text.
My current AS2 code on the time line is as follows.
var dataField = _root.dataField;
var dataType = _root.dataType;
var dataPage = _root.dataPage;
var dataVar = _root.dataVar;
_root.mc.onRelease = function() {
getURL("index.php?page="+dataPage+"&num="+dataNum+"&"+dataType+"="+dataVar, "_self");
};
And my external AS file is as follows.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
/**
*
* StandardKey is attached to a movieclip in the library.
* It handles the basic button behavior of the keyboard keys.
* When each button is placed on the stage, it's instance name
* will be the unique ID of the key.
*
*/
class StandardKey extends MovieClip {
///////////////////////////////////////
//Stage Elements
var highlight:MovieClip;
//End Stage Elements
var highlightTween:Tween;
function StandardKey(Void) {
//Repaint the key with 0 alpha
highlight._alpha = 0;
}
function onPress(Void):Void {
//Do the highlight animation
highlightTween.stop();
highlightTween = new Tween(highlight, "_alpha", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeInOut, 100, 0, 10, false);
}
}
Here is my attempt at moving timeline and external AS2 to AS3
Timeline i now have :
var dataField = this.dataField;
var dataType = this.dataType;
var dataPage = this.dataPage;
var dataVar = this.dataVar;
var dataNum = this.dataNum;
_root.mc.onRelease = function() {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("index.php?page="+dataPage+"&num="+dataNum+"&"+dataType+"="+dataVar, "_self"));
};
External AS3 i have
package {
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
/**
*
* StandardKey is attached to a movieclip in the library.
* It handles the basic button behavior of the keyboard keys.
* When each button is placed on the stage, it's instance name
* will be the unique ID of the key.
*
*/
public class StandardKey extends MovieClip {
///////////////////////////////////////
//Stage Elements
var highlight:MovieClip;
//End Stage Elements
var highlightTween:Tween;
public function StandardKey(Void) {
//Repaint the key with 0 alpha
highlight._alpha = 0;
}
public function onPress(Void):void {
//Do the highlight animation
highlightTween.stop();
highlightTween = new Tween(highlight, "_alpha", fl.transitions.easing.Regular.easeInOut, 100, 0, 10, false);
}
}
}
The errors i am currently getting are :
Scene 1, Layer 'Label', Frame 1, Line 6 1120: Access of undefined property _root.
Scene 1, Layer 'Label', Frame 1, Line 7 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 1.
If any one could help me work this out i would appreciate it very much.
Kind regards
Mat.
