Actionscript v1 problems in v2 or v3

Question

The following is the code from the first frame of a
hierarchical menu file (thanks to Ian Kelleigh at
http://www.freehandsource.com/_test/hierarchical_menus.html)
written in Actionscript v1.0.
I'd like to use this in an AS v2.0 or 3.0 project. To do so,
I know I need to delete all occurrences of "/:" in lines 4-9 and
15, but once completed, I think there must still be a problem with
lines 13-16 as the true/false values are not being observed (of
course, there could be syntax issues deeper in the file, but let's
start here):
1 //Sets variables to False for keeping track if submenus
2 //or menus are left open. Try keeping same naming structure
3 //for the the setMenuClose function to work properly below.
4 /:subsub2open = false;
5 /:subsub4open = false;
6 /:menuleftopen1 = false;
7 /:menuleftopen2 = false;
8 /:menuleftopen3 = false;
9 /:menuleftopen4 = false;
10 //Closes menus when another is opened.
11 //This function checks for a total of 10 menus, you can
12 //change this value to fit your needs
13 function setMenuClose() {
14 for (z=0; z<10; z++) {
15 if (eval("/:menuleftopen"+z) == true) {
16 eval("menu.menu"+z).gotoAndPlay("Swoop Up");
17 }
18 }
19 }
20 stop();

Hi(Bonjour)!
You can drag the clip from viewer to V2 in timeline. If you use the canvas edit overlay or Fs keys, you have to select the destination track for audio and video by using the patch panel at the left of timeline.
See FCE 4.0 user's manual page 117 and from page 361.
