Publishing to Flash 8 / 6 differences?

Question

I have created a button that when pressed, moves a picture to
the right in a smooth slide (this is for browsing through
thumbnails of pics). When published to Flash 6 it works perfectly,
but when publishing to Flash 8 it doesn't work. I have to publish
to 8 because I have FLVPlayback flash video objects. Can anyone
help as to how to make it work on Flash 8?
The button code ActionScript is:
on (release) {
if (targetx>-500) {
targetx -= +78;
The picture ActionScript is:
onClipEvent (load) {
accel = 0.1;
rate = 0.2;
targetx = 0;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = x*accel+(targetx-_x)*rate;
_x += x;
if (Math.abs(targetx-_x)<1) {
_x = targetx;
Thanks!

Hi,
First i suggest to datatype your variables event if in your
case it will not solve your problem but its a good habit to take.
example:
var accel:Number = 0.1;
var rate:Number = 0.2;
var targetx:Number = 0;
So now in order to help you a suggest to use the Tween Class.
It is not really hard to use and it does quite a good job to move
things around or for alpha fade and also for so many other use.
Here is a really good tutorial for the Tween Class:
