Use this As2 in As3

Hello,
i have this code
var url = _level0.video;
player.contentPath = url;
this catch a url and load on flash player.
this works fine in As2, but in As3 dont work.
i use a converter As2 to As3 but the result is it:
package {
var url = _level0.video;
player.contentPath = url;
i not a As programmer i only use video function on flash,
my question is, how to use my code on ActionScript 3 ??
Thank you !!

Thanks for reply,
the variable video i get from html and php.
example:
player.swf?video=<?php echo $_GET["video"]; ?>
and the variable video i get from html
<a href="index.php?video=video.flv"></a>
ok, i discard a converter !!
to use a contentPatch source of flash ?
but i can load a external videos ??
without ActionScript ?
Thank you !

Convert simple animation code from as2 to as3

Hi everyone,
I have a simple animation that is controlled by the y movement of the mouse. The code for the animation is put in frame 1 and is as follows:
var animationDirection:Boolean = false;
var prevMousePosition:Boolean = false;
var mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function () {
var curMousePosition = _ymouse;
if(curMousePosition > prevMousePosition) {
animationDirection = false;
}else if(curMousePosition < prevMousePosition) {
animationDirection = true;
prevMousePosition = curMousePosition;
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
function onEnterFrame() {
if(animationDirection && _currentframe < _totalframes) {
nextFrame();
}else if(!animationDirection && _currentframe > 1) {
prevFrame();
Is it possible to use this code in as3 or do I need to convert it? I am grateful for any help. Best wishes

Yes, you need to convert the code. Here is what looks like a similar logic in AS3:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var animationDirection:Boolean = false;
var prevMousePosition:Boolean = false;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
function onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var curMousePosition = mouseX;
    if (curMousePosition > prevMousePosition)
        animationDirection = false;
    else if (curMousePosition < prevMousePosition)
        animationDirection = true;
    prevMousePosition = curMousePosition;
function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void
    if (animationDirection && _currentframe < _totalframes)
        nextFrame();
    else if (!animationDirection && _currentframe > 1)
        prevFrame();

Hi,
It is working quite nice. I want to use the same code but instead of as "Document Class" I want to put that code in a first key frame of my project. I tried the following but gets an error:

Convert AS2 To AS3

So I made this basic game a few years ago which was in AS2 and Flash 6. Now I want to convert this game from AS2 to AS3 but I have no idea where to start. The code is approximalty 4k lines long and I don't know what to change to make it work in AS3. What do you guys suggest?

Are you using external .as files and classes or are you using frame scripts directly in the timeline? Are you used to any other object oriented programming languages? Knowing more about other languages you might know would help a lot.
AS2 very informal and specialized to Flash. It relates to pretty much no other language out there, like JavaScript seldom relates. They're c-esque but only in a very distant 3rd cousin style.
AS3 is much more OOP oriented and typed versus the less formal, error-prone loose dynamic nature of AS2. While your game would benefit greatly from the speed increases and error reduction, I think you're really swinging for the fence on this one. While some classes may resemble their AS2 counterpart and the core global functions work the same, everything else is different. Starting off trying to convert 4,000 lines of code is a little steep.
As mentioned, the resources to learn AS3 are excessive and plentiful from video training to tutorials to the API reference itself. Google has it all.
I think you really should lower your target and just try some really simple, basic things. Draw a shape, add a listener, do something basic when clicked, etc. You'll get a good idea of how different things are with the new display list rather than tearing your hair out converting your as2 game.

As2 to as3 the class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded

im using as2 but the scripts are supposed to be in as3
here's the code in as3:
for (var i:int=0; i<10; i++){
          var newFood:mcFood=new mcFood();
          newFood.buttonMode=true;
          newFood.x = (Math.random()*510);
          newFood.y = (Math.random()*310);
          if(newFood.x>550){
                    newFood.x -=530;
          if(newFood.y>550){
                    newFood.y -=530;
          addChild(newFood);
          newFood.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mousePressed);
          newFood.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseReleased);
function mousePressed(myVar:MouseEvent):void{
          myVar.target.startDrag();
function mouseReleased(myVar:MouseEvent):void{
          myVar.target.stopDrag();
          if(myVar.target.hitTestObject(star)){
                    myVar.target.x = -300;
                    myVar.target.y = -30;
could anyone transform this into as2?

Basically Sir I do not have any background in using the as2. Since I started using the as3.
Hmm actually the code up there works fine, but when I add the character to the as3 and try to run it, it says that the the button will be ignored.

Translating AS2 to AS3

Hi.
Below I have a bit of code that determines the bandwidth that a user has. It is written in ActionScript 2. The problem is that I am unfamiliar with AS2, and I wanted to use this in conjunction with a live streaming video player built in AS3. I was wondering if anyone could give me the equivalent code in AS3, or if there's any way to tell flash that a portion of the code will be written in AS2.
Thank You,

Thanks kglad. However, my preloader doesn't seem to work
quite properly. The graphic that I want to fill up as the movie
loads does not appear for a while, then suddenly fills up and just
sits there for a while until the movie is displayed. Do you know
why this might be?

As2 and As3 on same Flash Player

If i set AS2 codes to play in Flash Player 9, is it possible
that this swf can load an As3 swf at the same Flash Player using
As2 codes???
These swfs both play in same virtual machine which is player
version 9 but the other is coded with As2 and the other is coded
with As3. How can an AS2 load a swf coded in AS3 on same Flash
player?
Is this possible?
If yes, how? if no, why not?

AS2 and AS3 swfs cannot exist in the same Flash Player
virtual machine - each Flash Player instance (version 9 and
greater) create different address spaces/virtual machines because
the requirements of AS3 and AS2 are so different.

Anyone: as2 vs as3?

was looking at summerLongSince's post, basic as3, and it
occurred to me that the as3 version of what had been previously
done using as2 was more complicated and involved (see script
below). i am still relatively new to actionscripting and am
currently using/learning as2, so i am ignorant to the benefits as3
has to offer at this point. could anyone tell me what benefits the
as3 code below has over the as2 that precedes it? they both seem to
accomplish the same goal, only as3 seems to take more time and code
to do so. also, is moving to as3 worth the hassles that come with
learning an entirely new scripting language? i haven't even
mastered as2 and the thought of losing all the work i have put in
thus far is somewhat sickening. lastly, couldn't as3's benefits
have been implemented into flash without restructuring the entire
programming language?
thanks in advance,

Help Converting AS2 to AS3 Drag and Drop Event

Hi All,
This is the second post on help for converting AS2 to AS3. This code is used in Captivate to allow a drag and drop action between two areas (User presses down, drags, and releases in a second area - They are not dragging any object). If anyone can help me convert this please let me know.
Source for Drag and Drop: (Note: Single MovieClip)
// pause the Captivate movie
_root.rdcmndPause = 1;
// when the user's mouse is let go check if there was a successful drop

AS2 or AS3

Hello, i'm somewhat decent in flash. I know AS2, i started
learning AS3 today and find it to be more complicated and has so
many extra steps in coding. Number one thing i hate is having to do
all the code on the timeline, it will get so full of code if i have
several buttons/movieclips that need code, no way to do code when
you click on the button/movieclip in AS3 unlike 2.
Would it be dumb for me to continue to use AS2 and learn more
of it, or should i keep trying to learn AS3..... I don't do super
complex stuff, mostly timeline navigation and animations.
I also feel like there is way more room to make errors in 3
because you have to type everything unlike AS2 where i was able to
use the actions frame (use that plus tool that had the drop down
menu).

I'm in the same position, just starting to move from
intermediate comfort with AS2 to a fresh beginning with AS3...not
so easy for a guy who has so little logical thinking that I failed
algebra in high school! I too am a bit annoyed by all the extra
steps involved, such as having to add EventListeners for mouse
events, when these really ought to be simplified and there by
default, like in AS2. For example, why can't onMouseDown remain as
a built-in behavior rather than having to take up 2 lines of code
to insert it each and every time now?
On the other hand, I am delighted at the way a lot of the
inconsistencies in AS2 have been gotten rid of. No more having to
remember when to put .x and when ._x, and so on. And now that I'm
finally starting to learn how to use external classes, I see the
beauty in it, and AS3 is custom-made for this. It seems that if you
ever want to really advance in ActionScript programming, you need
to start working with creating your own classes, and as long as
you're going to learn those from scratch, may as well learn it in
AS3.
Putting AS on buttons was outdated practice years ago. It
makes much greater sense to place all script on the timeline, with
comments to separate it. Try programming the simplest game where
objects are moving around and colliding, all controlled by script,
and then a couple coded buttons control them. Bugs are inevitable,
and debugging script when it's partly on the timeline, some is
attached to main movie buttons, and some attached to movie clips
inside movie clips, is a nightmare. Once you do scripting on the
timeline, you'll never want to go back to the crude practice of
attaching script to objects.
Overall, it's a steeper climb than I'd have liked, to upgrade
my knowledge from AS2 to AS3. But ultimately I think it's the best
idea.

Yah very important point from NetDragon. As of version 3.0
the netconnection " class was dynamic in ActionScript 2.0 but is
now sealed. " so you can't just do something like:
netconnection.client.somefunction = function() {...}
The default netconnection.client = this, so you need to
extend it with a custom class or an object to be able to add
callback functions
But be careful, I wrote an entire app that worked with the
AS2.0 technique ...without an error from the compiler.....(flex
2.0).

Director - Flash AS2 - Flash AS3 via localconnection?

I have a Director MX2004 app that I would like to use to control a Flash swf written in AS3. I know I can't embed that kind of SWF file in Director, so I thought I would try to use this method:
Embed an AS2 swf in director and communicate with that.
Have that swf use the localconnection to communicate with the AS3 swf running in Air.
I can verify that the 2 swfs communicate when running in Flash and Air
I can verify that Director can communicate with the AS2 swf embedded in it.
But I can't link it all together. Send a command to the AS2 swf from Director doesn't continue down the chain to talk to the AS3 swf.
Is this something that could possibly work, or am I beating a dead horse?

Hi,
Did you have any luck with this method?
I am using Dir 12 now and Flash CS6.
Thanks,
Jim

If you so i think you can make use of dynamic configuration bean.
