1 The onEnterFrame loop works differently. You'll need to use a listener for this. (Google it for lots of tutorials, or you could check mine out at www.flashbynight.com/tutes/gameloop/)

2 Try to put all the code on the timeline instead of the clips. Or use an external .as file.

3 myMc._visible is now myMC.visible

That should get you started, anyway.

hi thanks for the hints and can i ask how to do this in as3
var squarelocated:String;
squarelocated = "Not located";
_root.inv_mc.square2_mc._visible = false;

thank you for all the hints :)

The String declaration is right, but _visible is now just visible. All underscored properties look normal in AS3. _root is probably stage, but could depend on how you are scoped.

gotoAndStop("room3");
}

}

key.visible=false;
key1.visible=true;
}

Where is the error occuring?

[theste123]

This is what it is saying

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at pointandclick_fla::MainTimeline/drag()

[attunedesigns]

Is 'go3' undefined?

[theste123]

(go3) is a instance name sorry for not explaining very well

[attunedesigns]

Check 'go3' and 'key1', make sure they are properly defined by the time drag() is called.

[theste123]

I have check the go3 and key1 and it is still doing it :(
thank you the help

hi all

i will be happy with any help thank you

[attunedesigns]

Ah. Since drag is executing on an ENTER_FRAME, and 'go3' only exists on frame 2... it throws an error when it changes to frame 3.

Easy fix:

function drag(event:Event):void {
if (key1.hitTestObject(go3)) {
key1.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,drag);
gotoAndStop("room3");
}
}

Shouldn't drag() be on MOUSE_DOWN?

[theste123]

thank you for figureing it out and thankz again
