Flash Expert help needed! I need to reproduce this MX ticker in Flash 5!

[freeeky]

Hi,

Ive built a XML ticker scroller in Flash 6 using adapted components and scripts.

Ive posted the files here:

I need to reproduce this so it runs on a Flash 5 plugin, as i do not want the user to have to upgrade.

There must be a way to do this in Flash 5. Can someone please help? I need to get this done quick!

Thanks

I dont feel like downloading anything but set your publish settings to flash 5 and test your movie and see if it actually does work for 5. If it doesnt, you'll get error messages in the output window telling you what needs to be changed for it to be flash 5 compatible

this is the output, but as actionscript newbie, im unclear what to do!:-----------------------------------------

I don't have your answer, but I have a little friendly advice to freeeky: Don't bump - mods hate it. I learned that the hard way at We're Here.

Just some friendly advice.

bumping is better than multiposting though
cover your bumps by adding in a more detailed explanation or covering some failed attempts that might help clerify the situation


1) dont use initclip (most of your errors right there)
2) you cant use components so that one you might have to manually remake or look for a smart-clip version of

I completely agree with senocular.

thanks for the advice peeps. Apologies if the bumping got the mods annoyed.

as a newbie in flash, i wouldnt really know how to start in rebuilding this!

I used the component as it seemed the only way to do all the functionality i required.

Would anyone be kind enough to build a test fla i could work with in Flash 5?


thanks again
