Flash MX '#initclip' action

[mvinal16]

I understand that '#initclip' is a "Flash MX only" action, but I was wondering if there was an "equal action" in Flash 5. I'm trying to make this PayPal component work in Flash 5 and the only syntax error that comes up is this '#initclip' action.

Sorry, there is no equivalent in Flash 5.

OK, thanks for the response Robert, here's the code. . . is there any way to this code could be re-done or converted to be Flash 5 compliant?

this.ppType._visible = false;
this.SIPText._visible = false;
//assign associated object buttonPress() method
this._parent[this._targetInstanceName].onPress = PayPalSubmit;

function PayPalSubmit() {
getURL("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?return="+escape(pp_return), "_self", "POST");
}

I created a Flash 5 version of Object.registerClass()--it can't do everything that MX can, but it helps:

// create functions if in Flash 5
if ( getVersion().indexOf(" 5,") != -1 ) {

Object.registerClass = function (symbolID, theClass) {
	if (symbolID == undefined || arguments.length < 2) return false;
	var ac = arguments.callee;
	if (ac.registry == undefined) ac.registry = new Object();
	if (theClass.prototype == null) delete ac.registry[symbolID];
	else ac.registry[symbolID] = theClass;
	return true;
};

MovieClip.prototype.useClass = function (theClass, initObject) {
	for (var i in initObject) this[i] = initObject[i];
	var cProto = theClass.prototype;
	if (cProto != null && cProto != MovieClip.prototype) {
		this.__proto__ = cProto;
		this.$base = theClass;
		this.$base ();
		delete this.$base;
	}
};

MovieClip.prototype.$sysAttachM = MovieClip.prototype.attachMovie;

MovieClip.prototype.attachMovie = function (symbolID, newName, depth, initObject) {
	this.$sysAttachM (symbolID, newName, depth);
	this[newname].useClass (Object.registerClass.registry[symbolID], initObject);
};

MovieClip.prototype.$sysDupMC = MovieClip.prototype.duplicateMovieClip;

MovieClip.prototype.duplicateMovieClip = function (newName, depth, initObject) {
	this.$sysDupMC (newName, depth);
	_parent[newname].useClass (this.__proto__.constructor, initObject);
};

// hide methods from for..in loops
ASSetPropFlags (MovieClip.prototype, ["useClass", "$sysAttachM", "$sysDupMC"], 1);

} // end if
