How do you convert this code from AS3 to AS2?

Question

Hi,
I created some AS3 code that is working perfectly for us.
However now we need to convert it to AS2 so that it can be Flash
Player 8 compatible. If it could also be compatible for Flash
Player 7 that would be ideal but not a requirement.
Thanks in advance.

Are you wanting someone to do the conversion for you, or are
you asking for general tips for doing the conversion yourself?
i can give you tips:
have a look at the
ActionScript
2.0 Migration page.
In this you'll find the property conversions eg(going from
AS3 to AS2). y becomes _y, height becomes _height, scaleX becomes
_xscale, void becomes Void etc.
you'll find that events need to be converted, eg.
particle.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
animateParticle);
becomes:
particle.onEnterFrame=animateParticle;
the onEnterFrame class doesn't pass an Event parameter to the
event listener. Instead, the event listener is automatically in the
scope of the event dispatcher, so instead of 'event.target' you
will be able to just target 'this'.
You'll need to use setInterval() instead of the Timer class.
You'll need to use attachMovie() instead of
addChild().
