quick as3 conversion question

[pointguard]

Hi everyone...

I'm trying to update my preloader code to AS3 from AS2, and am having a little bit of trouble. the preloader consists of 2 movie clips, nested inside another. Inside the first nested clip is this code...

code:

---

onMouseMove = function () {

	percText._x = _xmouse;

	percText._y = _ymouse;

};

onEnterFrame = function () {

	var per = _parent._parent.getBytesLoaded()/_parent._parent.getBytesTotal();

	percText.text = Math.ceil(per*100);

};

stop();

---

Inside the other nested clip is this code...

code:

---

var i = 0;

var dep = 1;

onMouseMove = function () {

	var p = this.attachMovie("SmokeParticle", "SmokeParticleMC"+i++, this.dep);

	dep++;

	p._x = _xmouse+55;

	p._y = _ymouse+10;

	p._xscale = p._yscale=Math.random()*100+50;

};

stop();

---

I've tried a few things but keep getting error messages, so have gone right back to the start with my as2 code above, and am hoping someone can help me convert the 2 segments of code...

please?

thanks in advance
Jeff

Actually the best thing here would be you attaching your source FLA. I have a feeling this would be easier converted putting all the code on the main timeline.

Here are the two lines that are giving you trouble:

var per = root.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded / root.loaderInfo.bytesTotal; 

var p = addChild( new SmokeParticle() ); 

Everything else should be a straight conversion.

You need to change stuff like _x to x and _parent to (parent as MovieClip) and _xscale to scaleX. The bugs in the output window should help you, they normally tag stuff like this as migration issues.

Also note that stuff like scaleX is 0 - 1 now instead of 0 - 100, so you'll need to alter some of your calculations a bit.
