Where to begin with mirgration??

Hi,

After a long fought battle to integrate two swf files into one I was informed the reason I was having problems was that one was created for flash 7 and the main.swf was created in flash 5. So, when I compile the functionality of the main.swf to flash 7 there are many functionality issues due to outdated flash 5 code.

My experience with Flash is just begining so where do I even start to correct the code that is currently in Flash 5 and actionscript 1?

Thanks

I'll have a look into your carousel script and see what I can come up with...

But tell me this first... Is it your intention to use this carousel to go directly to some content, or is this just a display at the beginning of the movie, and you'll always go to content from the goto content button?

Using AS2.0 and Flash player 7 in the Publish settings, you'll get your carousel going again by initializing 2 variables...

First frame of the roto clip...

// do nothing
var pressv:Number = 0;

First frame of the rotraption clip...

var speed:Number = 0;

this._visible = false;
var numrotos = 8;
for (n=0; n<numrotos; n++) {
newroto = "roto"+String(n);
this.attachMovie("roto", newroto, n+1);
this[newroto].theta = n*360/numrotos;
this[newroto].panel = 60;
this[newroto].radius = 500;
this[newroto].rotographic.gotoAndStop(n+1);
}
this.title.swapDepths(100);

You'll still have to take care of the navigation underlying buttons when the viewer is up, 'cause they're still active...

I really appreciate the help. This is something i've been fighting with for a while. I will give your code a try and see if it works.

As for your question about the carousel, my thought had been to just use the same code thats in the navigation buttons for the carousel navigation which would give users multiple access points to the same gallery's. I just wanted the gallery's to be easy to find no matter where the user is in the site.

Whats your thoughts on that? Good or bad idea?

Worth a try... But you may spend a few hours on that also... ;)

Well, i'm sure I'll be doing alot more than a few hrs since I'm trying to figure out actionscript. I'm used to .Net so it's a bit of a learning curve.

I'll let ya know how it works out.

thanks again for the help.
