Equivalent in Flash 4 Syntax

[clarkc]

I've got some modularised Flash 5 code which works fine as long as it's published as Flash 5, unfortunately I want to publish as Flash 4 and am having trouble with the following;

- onClipEvent(load) : used to pass parameters to the generic clip

- _parent.NameMovie.gotoAndStop("StartLoop") : used to stop a parallel running movie clip

Can anyone point me to other syntax or methods that'll work with Flash 4 ?

Thanks

There is no equiv for clip events. You could put the code in the first frame of the movie clip and it will therefore only execute when the first frame loads (but it wont wait for the whole clip to load).
Parent can be replaced with ../

_parent.gotoAndStop(1)

is equivalent to

tell Target (../) {
gotoAndStop(1)
}

Thanks, that did the trick.

Funnily enough, dynamic text boxes seem quite happy with their variable source as _parent.summat and publishing as Flash 4.
