Question about action script output

[angelitos]

I am trying to add some actions to artwork, is for a button, fox example the output says:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Actions, Frame=1: Line 1: Wrong number of parameters; set requires exactly 2.
set ("boxStatus"); = "0"

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (Release) {
I am making a button
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 2: ';' expected
Go to and play (2)

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 5: ';' expected
End on

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 3, Frame=2: Line 1: ';' expected
set Variable; "boxStatus"="1"

That is in general, thank you for your help.

Those codes have major flaws O_O

I honestly don't know what set is, but why have the semi-colon right after the set tag? and then the equals sign? It should be at the end of each code, to signify that it ends there, to not mix it with other codes!

Also, on(release) with a small R, not Go to and play(2), but rather gotoAndPlay(2);

And set Variable; "boxSatus"="1" won't work either. You are converting the number one, to a string, and also, the left sign of the operator is a string, which is completely wrong. Are you using Actionscript 1.0 or something?

My version of flash is Student Flash 5 (around year 2000)
I just click on actions and look for the action, fox example go to and play, and the other are like they are in the list of codes. I just click.
How can I do to find what version of AS is?
Maybe I would like to get a new version in Flash, which one you recommend? And other software's that i need to make flash animations.
Thank you for your help.

Oh, Flash 5 only supports Actionscript 1.0 - Actionscript 2.0 wasn't introduced before Flash MX 2004!

I suggest you get yourself a new version of Flash. Anything from Flash 8 to Flash CS5. All of those support Actionscript 2.0 and Actionscript 3.0

I use Actionscript 2.0

And you want to make flash animation? Then Flash is the only one and the best, and also the original one
