Problem migrating onClipEnter frame and angle property in as 3.0

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to migrate a simple actionscript 2.0 app to 3.0
and I'm having some problems finding equivelents of the
onEnterFrame methods and the angle property in as 3.0.
In this section, I need to have the t movieClip variable
onEnterFrame method call the mover function:
[code]
for(var i:Number = 0; i < numberOfItems; i++)
var t = attachMovie("icon", "icon"+i, i+1);
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numberOfItems);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
[/code]
In this section, I need to find an as 3.0 equivelent to the
this.angle property:
[code]
function mover()
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s:Number = this._y/(centerX + radiusY);
trace("**** angle: " + this.angle);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s * 100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
trace( "this: " + this);
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
[/code]
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric

Answer 1

I have solved the problem of passing parameters to the
addEventListener function
it's not truly passing params but it gives me the ability to
reference the object that called the eventListener function.
[code]
function mover(event:Object)
var clip_name:Object = event.currentTarget; // this gives me
the reference to the object that called the mover function I was
looking for
[/code]
Now if I could figure out how to find an equivelant to the
angle property I would be home free!
Also, here's the attach_movie function that I'm using:
var attach_movie:Function =
DisplayObject.prototype.attachMovie = function( idName:String,
newName:String, level:int, initObject:Object = null ):DisplayObject
var classDefintion:Class = getDefinitionByName(idName) as
Class;
var instance = new classDefintion();
for(var key in initObject){ instance[key] = initObject[key];
level ? this.addChild(instance) : this.addChildAt(instance,
level);
instance.name = newName;
return instance;
