Okay, up to this point we've only talked about everything that's different between the two versions of ActionScript. But what about them is the same? What hard-earned knowledge of ActionScript 1.0 that you currently have is still applicable to ActionScript 2.0? Fortunately, plenty! You still control movie clips with this syntax: myMovieClip_mc.gotoAndPlay(15); You still create conditional statements the same way: if (myNumber1 + myNumber2 == 20 && enabled != true){ //actions; } or looping statements this way: for (i = 0; i <= myVariable; ++i){ //actions; } Expressions are still created the same way: myVariable = (myNumber1 / 2) + (myNumber2 + 15); And scripts can still be assigned to button and movie clip instances using the on() and onClipEvent() event handlers. |
