AS2 .swf to AS3.swf

This may have been posted somewhere else however I have created a series of AS2 .swfs and now that I am using captivate 5 i need to convert them to as3.swf
Can anyone help

That's going to depend on whether or not there's any AS2 code in your SWFs and how complex that code is.
Did you create these SWFs in Flash?  If so, what version?  If it's Flash CS3 or above you should be able to open the original FLA files and change your publish settings to output as AS3.
If you've programmed a lot of interactivity into these SWFs as AS2 and you don't know AS3, you'll need to either learn it yourself or pay someone that does.

  • Load AS2 swf into AS3 swf problem

    I have a flash with AS3 and inside this swf i load in a AS2 swf.
    to load swf works just fine, but the problem is when i load this i want to go to
    a specific part of it, for example i want to go to frame 3 in the loaded swf.
    i must control this from the AS3 swf, does someone know if this is possible?
    thanks in advance

    so can i do like this then to go to frame 3 in my loaded swf?
    MovieClip(ldr.content).gotoAndStop(3); ?
    sorry for being such an airhead
    thanks for helping me out =)

    no.
    if, in your loaded swf, you have a function f1() on the loaded swf's main timeline and you load that swf using a loader (say ldr), use:
    MovieClip(ldr.content).f1();   // to call f1() in the loaded swf

  • Load AS2 SWF in AS3 SWF with FlashVars

    I am able to load SWF which is created using AS2 in to AS3

    Does any one has any idea, how can I do that??
    Thanks

    You can talk to loaded AVM1 (AS1/2) SWF using LocalConnection. I used Grant Skinner's SWFBridge class in the past and worked very well:

  • Convert AS2 swf to AS3 swf

    I have a swf (written in AS3) that loads other swfs into it.
    There are no issues when loading other AS3 swfs but there is a
    problem loading AS2 swfs. I get the following error:
    TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
    flash.display::AVM1Movie@35d3a51 to flash.display.MovieClip.
    Is there any way to convert the AS2 swf into a AS3 swf so it
    will be compatible with my loader? I cannot go back and change the
    AS2 swfs because I do not have the fla files. Or is there any way
    to incorporate AS3 code that will load AS2 swfs properly? It seems
    hard to believe that Adobe would neglect this backwards
    compatibility issue. Thanks

    Hello Andrei1,
    Thanks for looking at my simple AS3 code. The AS2 swfs that
    I've been working (and having difficulties) with are components
    that I've purchased from places like www.flashden.com. Some are
    image transitions (such as "Dynamic Image Draw found at
    http://www.flashden.net/item/dynamic-image-draw/7532)
    while another is used to create a looped banner rotator animation
    (IMG_loop, a free d/l from www.afcomponents.net). I have another
    that uses an .xml file to configure a slideshow animation.
    You mention "needing to do more" if AS2 scripts inside its
    swf are to be run by the parent AS3 fla; what would these lines of
    code be?
    In researching my problem further I've since realized that
    most of these issues deal both with the version of AS used, as well
    as the version of the Flash player the fla is set up to animate
    for. In particular, the "Dynamic Image Draw" component requires
    that Flash Player 8 or 9 be used with AS2.
    Given that many of my purchased components are like this,
    I've since changed my main fla movie from AS3 back to AS2 and have
    learned that the scripting needed to call individual multiple swfs
    into it at various points in the timeline is MUCH simpler!!!!! One
    single, easily interpreted, line of code vs. 5 lines using
    variables and much more arcane (to me) function calls.
    I started my file with AS3 figuring that I'd be better off
    learning the new version of the language; much stress and
    forehead-rubbing later, I've seen just how much easier and
    understandable AS2 is to learn.
    I recognize that there are likely very strong arguments for
    the more structured coding approach used by AS3, but for someone
    like me who wants to generate customized Flash presentations with
    little fuss, I'm not qualified to make them.
    Perhaps this is a no brainer for those many flash gurus out
    there, but for me this tiny bit of wisdom has been hard fought for!
    That being said, is there an easy way to convert a swf file
    created using AS2 to something that AS3 can work/interact with?
    I've come across a free d/l product called actionscript bridge, but
    haven't been able to understand how to get it to work.

  • Load AS2 swf into AS3 swf

  • AS2 SWF loaded inside a AS3 SWF

    Hi,
    In a recent project I had to load a FlashPaper2 document
    inside a SWF implemented in AS3. I read a couple of articles about
    Darron
    Shcall's article and
    FlashInterface
    but none of them seemed to be useful in my case.
    I needed to load a FlashPaper SWF inside a AS3 and couldn't
    rely on ExternalInterface since they were not two separate SWF's.
    To be more clear, I was using the Loader class via a Sprite to load
    the FlashPaper SWF.
    Anyways, I created FlashPaperLoader.SWF implemented in AS2
    which was used to load the FlashPaper SWF. This loader was able to
    communicate with the FlashPaper APIs (AS2). As you can guess, the
    AS3 SWF was used to load the FlashPaperLoader.swf.
    What I don't understand is how come the FlashPaperLoader the
    FlashPaper document SWFs can communicate with each other thru AS2
    function calls when they are loaded inside a AS3 SWF, I thought
    that due to VM differences, no communication is possible!
    I hope I was clear, if I was, any guru insight is really
    appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Thanks kglad,
    But you still haven't answered my question. I am not looking
    for solutions, my own solution works. I wanted to understand more
    about the VM's.
    AS3
    var request:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("./FlashPaperLoader.swf");
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.load(request);
    AS2
    var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    loader.loadClip("./FlashPaperDoc.swf", fpContainer);
    // the loader SWF used IFlashPaper APIs to communicate with
    the FlashPaper SWF.
    Now, the first part (AS3), all that code is interpreted by
    VM2. Once an AS2 SWF is loaded a
    AVM1Movie
    is created and no direct communication between AS3 and AS2 is
    possible. I am curious to know how come the two AS2 SWFs can
    communicate with each other while inside the VM2 space.

  • Embed AS3 swf into a AS2 FLA?

    HI, I have a flash site designed in AS2 and want to embed a
    AS3 video player in it. If I republish the AS2 site to AS3 the
    website doesnt function, and if I load the AS3 swf into the
    website, the Player doesnt function.
    I need the AS2 functionality on the website and I need the
    advanced AS3 functionality on the video Player.
    Is there any way to get these two guys to talk to each
    other?

    Creating a 3rd fla, to load the AS2 Fla and the AS3 FLA just
    aint gonna fly. This website is updated daily and its just too much
    of a maintenance nightmare.
    However, I do want to use Wabbits suggestion but I dont know
    how to create a web object.
    The GetURL function opens the swf on its own, which I dont
    want to do. I want it to open the AS3 SWF in a small window within
    the page.
    Can someone help please? Thanks in advance,

  • AS2 swf to AS3 local Connection

    Hello:
    I am embedding multiple copies of a single AS2 swf build in
    FLASH into a FLEX2 AS3 swf. I am using LocalConnection to
    communicate from FLEX to the flash swfs. This exhibits the strange
    behaviour that only the last loaded swf actually works correctly.
    The swf is a told to gotoAndStop at a particular frame. I trace the
    FLASH swf function and it is getting the correct frame number from
    FLEX. But it does not work correctly.
    see a samle at
    http://www.miragevideo.com/test.html
    The problem seems to be the localConnectin being shared by
    three similar instances of the gauge class. Any ideas??
    Here is the FLEX code
    <?xml version="1.0"
    encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    width="400" height="200"
    horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
    verticalScrollPolicy="off">
    <mx:Image id="gaugeSWF"
    source="@Embed(source='../../resources/gauge.swf')"
    creationComplete="init();" />
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    import flash.net.LocalConnection;
    private var toFlash_lc:LocalConnection = new
    LocalConnection();
    private var _amount:int;
    private function init():void{
    toFlash_lc.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatus);
    toFlash_lc.send("lc_from_Flex",
    'setGauge',_amount) ;
    public function set amount(val:int):void{
    _amount = val;
    private function onStatus(event:StatusEvent):void {
    switch (event.level) {
    case "status":
    // trace("LocalConnection.send()
    succeeded");
    break;
    case "error":
    trace("LocalConnection.send() failed");
    break;
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    </mx:Canvas>
    and the FLASH code:
    // Code in the receiving SWF file
    var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
    receiving_lc.setGauge = function(frame:Number) {
    trace("in flash frame= " + frame +
    " angle: " + ((frame/100)*180));
    mask._rotation = -(frame/100)*180;
    angle.text = frame.toString();
    receiving_lc.connect("lc_from_Flex");
    stop();

    You can only have 1 LocalConnection per sender/receiver. If I
    have 2 SWFs, A and B. If I want A and B to send messages to each
    other, I need 2 LocalConnections. If I have 3 SWFs and want
    bi-directional communication between all of them, I'd need 6
    LocalConnections. Add a 4th SWF and you'll need a total of 12 and
    so forth.

  • Load and control AS2 interactive SWF in AS3 and get properties of AS2 swf

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me how to load AS2 and AS3 swf file in AS3 Loader class.  I have tried "ForcibleLoader.as, AVM1Loader.as, AVM2Loader.as but as of now I have not get successes yet. There are some issue in all library.
    I am looking for below solution.
    1) Load SWF file AS2, AS3 via flashVars params and load it in AS3 player.
    2) After successfully loaded, below properties should be shown -   
         a) totalFrames
         b) currentFrames
         c) FPS of loaded swf file
         d) Should wok play(), stop() properties of loaded swf file.
         e) SWF file should work just like video player application where we can do Play, Pause, Stop, Seek (All properties and methods
            should be supported. )
    3) Player should be capable of loading all swf file regardless of any version AVM1 AVM2 both in AS3 Player.
    4) After loading player should scale external loaded swf file as per Player stage width and height and content should be scale    
        proportionate in 4:3.
    4) AS2 & AS3 action script must be supported in AS3 player. (All interactive swf file should be supported)

  • Loading muliple accordions into as3 swf

    I have an application written in AS3 that is loading swfs written in  AS2.  Most of them work fine, except for ones that contain the old AS2  accordion component.  Loading one results in it working correctly, but  each one that is loaded after it breaks the previous one (the content no  longer shows and the mask disappears).  It's not just limited to the  accordion, any of the AS2 components that came with Flash Pro cause  breakage.  I've tried loading the swfs to separate movieclips, tried  using applicationDomain, tried everything else I can think of.   Rewriting the swfs in AS3 is not an option due to circumstances out of  my control.  Any thoughts, ideas, even snide remarks would be welcomed.   Thanks.

    AS3 and AS2 stuff actually run in different VMs... to my knowledge, you can't have anything in AS3 in the same display tree as anything in AS2. Sorry, but you might be out of luck with this one...

  • AS3 SWF inside Director 11.5.9 quirk

    I've previously used AS2 SWFs inside Director 11.5.9, and the SWFs work fine, actionscript works as it should.
    I'm working on a project where I need to use some AS3 SWFs inside Director, and I've come across a limit on the pixel width and height of the SWF. It seems that if either the pixel width or height of the published SWF are greater than 1638, then any actionscript inside the SWF is ignored when the SWF is loaded into director. The SWF still works ok outside of Director.
    For example, any actionscript stop(); commands are ignored and the playback continuously loops through the swf timeline.
    Has anyone come across this before?
    I am almost 100% certain this issue is related to the pixel width / height, as I've made a simple button navigation swf, and published it with different stage sizes. 1638 or less work inside Director, 1639 or more don't work inside Director!

    Made me laugh until I cried...
    Or did I just cry? :(
    Cruel but funny!

  • AS3 swf tiny question

    I have a feeling that I know the answer to this. I am not
    terribly savvy on Actionscript (basic sklls, not expert)..and not
    in 3.0 at all!!!!!!!! I have a website that is done nearly all in
    Flash with AS2.0. I recently added a video player from a video
    aggregator, but their player is AS3.0.
    All I could do was to build an html page and embed the AS 3
    player into that. I prefer the seamlessness that Flash provides. Is
    there ANY possible way to embed an AS3 swf file into an AS2
    website.
    I just cannot completely rebuild the entire website right now
    in 3.0!!!!
    Is there ANY simple solution? I cannot believe that I am the
    only person who is having issues like this...Ugh!!!!
    thanks for any help you can offer.

    you can't use an as2 file to load an as3 file and have the
    as3 file work.
    you can use getURL() to load your as3's embedding html file.
    if you want it to look seemless, you can load into the same window
    so the user will see your as2 content replaced by the as3 swf.
    in the as3 swf you can put code to load your as2's embedding
    html file (using navigateToURL()). so, you can go back and forth
    between your as2 and as3 swfs.
