Converting AS 2.0 scroller to AS 3.0

[sinistar5000]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade an AS 2.0 scroller to AS 3.0, but haven't got the first clue when it comes to removing stuff like _root etc.

My code is:

function parallax (layer, speed)
{
 var distance=_root._xmouse-Stage.width/2;

  if (_xmouse > Stage.width/2){     
        layer._x -= distance*speed;        
        
    }else{
        layer._x += distance*-speed;        
    }
    
    if(layer._x <= 0){
        layer._x = layer._x + layer._width/2;        
    }else if(layer._x >= layer._width/2){
        layer._x = layer._x - layer._width/2;
    }        
}


profiles_mc.onEnterFrame = function() { parallax(this, 1/40); } 

Can someone help me to work out how to make it work in AS 3.0, please?

Cheers.

I have no way of testing this to make it work for you but this would be a start:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

profiles_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, profilesEnterFrame);

function parallax(layer:MovieClip, speed:int):void
{
    var distance:int = (_root._xmouse - (Stage.width / 2));
    
    if (mouseX > (stage.stageWidth / 2))
    {
        layer.x -= distance * speed;
    }else{
        layer.x += distance * -speed;
    }
    
    if (layer.x <= 0)
    {
        layer.x = layer.x + layer.width / 2;
    }else if(layer.x >= layer.width / 2){
        layer.x = layer.x - layer.width / 2;
    }
}

function profilesEnterFrame(e:Event):void
{
    parallax(profiles_mc, 1 / 40);
} 

If you post your files we can help further.

function parallax(layer:String, speed:Number):void{
var distance:Number=stage.mouseX-stage.stageWidth/2;

  if (mouseX > stage.stageWidth/2){     
        this[layer].x -= distance*speed;        
        
    }else{
        this[layer].x += distance*-speed;        
    }
    
    if(this[layer].x <= 0){
        this[layer].x = this[layer]._x + this[layer].width/2;        
    }else if(this[layer].x >= this[layer].width/2){
        this[layer].x = this[layer].x - this[layer].width/2;
    }        
}

Thanks for your help so far. I will post the files when I get home from work.

Here is the link to the original package in AS2:



and here is how I had got the AS3 version

[sstalder]

Paste this code into your actions, works for me:

stop();
var arthur_mitchell:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

arthur_mitchell.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);
arthur_mitchell.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);
arthur_mitchell.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, amitchellVideo);

function mouseOverHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    arthur_mitchell.alpha = 0;
}

function mouseOutHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    arthur_mitchell.alpha =.4;
}

function amitchellVideo(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    gotoAndStop("atkins");
}

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

profiles_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, profilesEnterFrame);

function parallax(layer:MovieClip, speed:Number):void
{
    var distance:Number = (mouseX - (stage.stageWidth / 2));
    
    if (mouseX > (stage.stageWidth / 2))
    {
        layer.x -= (distance * speed);
    }else{
        layer.x += distance * -speed;
    }
    
    if (layer.x <= 0)
    {
        layer.x = layer.x + layer.width / 2;
    }else if(layer.x >= layer.width / 2){
        layer.x = layer.x - layer.width / 2;
    }
}

function profilesEnterFrame(e:Event):void
{
    parallax(e.target, 0.025);
}

Thank you so much. There is one more issue, if you can help me fix it. I've tried to set the code so that when you click on a face it sends you to a new part on the timeline so that it will play a particular video. I was going to use different frames, but AS 3.0 doesn't like that, so can you suggest a slicker way of going about it...

Thank you so much again...
