Script exported for flash 6 doesnt work if exported to 8

[pucca017]

This code works perfect if exported or published for flash player 6, if placed into a 8 publish document,doesnt work. This is rotating menu

onClipEvent (load) {
hx = 390/2;
hy = 325/2;
r = 100;
a = 30;
r2 = 50;
function speed(num) {
speedX = -(_root._xmouse-hx)/num;
return speedX;
}
function trans() {
p += speed(100);
range = ((p+180)*Math.PI)/180;
re1 = ((Math.sin(range))*r);
re2 = ((Math.cos(range))*a);
re3 = ((Math.cos(range))*r2);
}

function property() {
trans();
_x = hx+re1;
_y = hy+re3;
_xscale = _yscale=_alpha=re2+70;
this.swapDepths(_alpha);
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
property();
}

I published to 8 and 9, did not get any errors.

You do have this code on a movieclip, correct?

Variables 'p' and 'speedX' need to be initialized.

onClipEvent (load) {
	hx = 390 / 2;
	hy = 325 / 2;
	r = 100;
	a = 30;
	r2 = 50;
	p = 0;
	speedX = 0;
	function speed(num) {
		speedX = -(_root._xmouse - hx) / num;
		return speedX;
	}
	function trans() {
		p += speed(100);
		range = ((p + 180) * Math.PI) / 180;
		re1 = ((Math.sin(range)) * r);
		re2 = ((Math.cos(range)) * a);
		re3 = ((Math.cos(range)) * r2);
	}
	function property() {
		trans();
		_x = hx + re1;
		_y = hy + re3;
		_xscale = _yscale = _alpha = re2 + 70;
		this.swapDepths(_alpha);
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	property();
}

thank u.. it worked. Question: This rotating menu is on the frame 1 in the main timeline. If I tell a button to go to frame 5 after release, the rotating menu shows on top of the frame 5 even though is a empty frame on its place...

how can I tell the menu to stay only in frame 1 and dont move?

The reason they still remain is that the swapDepths function makes the depths a positive number. So they need to be removed with the 'removeMovieClip' function.

onClipEvent (load) {
	hx = 390 / 2;
	hy = 325 / 2;
	r = 100;
	a = 30;
	r2 = 50;
	p = 0;
	speedX = 0;
	function speed(num) {
		speedX = -(_root._xmouse - hx) / num;
		return speedX;
	}
	function trans() {
		p += speed(100);
		range = ((p + 180) * Math.PI) / 180;
		re1 = ((Math.sin(range)) * r);
		re2 = ((Math.cos(range)) * a);
		re3 = ((Math.cos(range)) * r2);
	}
	function props() {
		trans();
		_x = hx + re1;
		_y = hy + re3;
		_xscale = _yscale = _alpha = re2 + 70;
		this.swapDepths(_alpha);
	}
	this.onPress = function() {
		trace(this)
		this._parent.gotoAndStop(5);
		//replace 'instance1', 'instance2' etc with actual instance names of clips
		this._parent.instance1.removeMovieClip();
		this._parent.instance3.removeMovieClip();
		this._parent.instance4.removeMovieClip();
		this.removeMovieClip();
	};
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	props();
}
