AS2 to AS3?

[fjodorvanveen]

I think I'm quite good with AS2 now, and I want to learn AS3.
I know AS3 only works on the main timeline, but here is a code I'd like to see in AS3. I hope it isn't too complicated.

onClipEvent (load) {
	var mousecontrol:Boolean = false;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
	mousecontrol = true;
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
	mousecontrol = false;
}
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
	this._rotation = Math.atan2 (_root._ymouse - this._y, _root._xmouse - this._x) * 57.2;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (mousecontrol == true) {
		if (Math.sqrt ((_root._xmouse - this._x) * (_root._xmouse - this._x) + (_root._ymouse - this._y) * (_root._ymouse - this._y)) > 50) {
			this._x += 2 * Math.cos (this._rotation / 57.2);
			this._y += 2 * Math.sin (this._rotation / 57.2);
		}
	} else {
		if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT) && Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {
			this._rotation = -135;
			this._x--;
			this._y--;
		} else if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT) && Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)) {
			this._rotation = 135;
			this._x--;
			this._y++;
		} else if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT) && Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {
			this._rotation = -45;
			this._x++;
			this._y--;
		} else if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT) && Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)) {
			this._rotation = +45;
			this._x++;
			this._y++;
		} else if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT)) {
			this._rotation = 180;
			this._x -= 2;
		} else if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT)) {
			this._rotation = 0;
			this._x += 2;
		} else if (Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {
			this._rotation = -90;
			this._y -= 2;
		} else if (Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)) {
			this._rotation = 90;
			this._y += 2;
		}
	}
}

for Key.isDown, see this post

as for the mouse/EnterFrame events, look up addEventListener in the documentation.

basically you do

objectThatListens.addEventListener(EventName, functionToRun, false, 0, true)

The extra parameters are an extra precaution for memory leaks when you remove the listener.

public function functionToRun(e:Event){
...
}

replace e:Event with the type of Event you are listening for. All of this is listed in the documentation.
