WARNING 1058 - AS2 TO AS3

I have a mc set to a button with part of it set as the hit area with this code in as2:

hit._visible = false; this.hitArea = hit;

Is there anyway that I can change that to work with as3? I researched it, and it told me to take out the _ before visible. The warning goes away, but my file doesn’t work.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply!

Here is my flash code:

try {
    var keyStr:String;
    var valueStr:String;
    var webStr:String;
    var paramObjbject = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
    for (keyStr in paramObj) {
        valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
        if (keyStr.indexOf(".") != -1){
        webStr = keyStr;
        keyStr = keyStr.substring(0, keyStr.indexOf(".")); //now it's "home" 
        }
    }
//    tf.appendText(keyStr);
} catch (error:Error) {
//    tf.appendText(error);
}

function handlemouse(evt:MouseEvent):void{
       if(evt.currentTarget != MovieClip(getChildByName(keyStr))){
           var frameLabel = '';
           switch(evt.type){
              case MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT:
                frameLabel = "over";
                break;
              case MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER:
                frameLabel="out";
                break;
              case MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN:
                frameLabel="out";
                break;

           }
           evt.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(frameLabel);
    }
}

homeButton.addEventListener("mouseOver", handlemouse);
homeButton.addEventListener("mouseOut", handlemouse);
homeButton.addEventListener("mouseDown", handlemouse);

this.homeButton.onRollOver = function() {
    homeButton.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
this.homeButton.onRollOut = function() {
    homeButton.gotoAndPlay("out");
}
this.homeButton.onPress = function() {
    homeButton.gotoAndPlay("out");
}

I’m getting an error that reads:

Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onRollOver event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( ‘mouseOver’, callback_handler).

When I try and rollover the button, I get this error:

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter name must be non-null. at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/getChildByName() at groupj_fla::MainTimeline/handlemouse()

Any idea of what to do? Sorry, I’m a flash newbie!

Thanks Ziyad!!

So I now have my code to this:

homeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,handleBlankMouseOver); homeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,handleBlankMouseOut); homeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,handleBlankMouseDown);

function handleBlankMouseOver.onRollOver = function() { homeButton.gotoAndPlay(“over”; }

function handleBlankMouseOut.onRollOut = function() { homeButton.gotoAndPlay(“out”; }

function handleBlankMouseDown.onPress = function() { homeButton.gotoAndPlay(“out”; }

And my error is: Expecing left paren before dot… and I really have no idea what that means.

I have a feeling that the ‘homeButton.gotoAndPlay(“out”; is wrong… but I’m not sure what that needs to be… ?

My problem with Flash is that I never feel like I can connect one thing to the next. Grr… frustration.

by the way, this is the answer:

Here is another part of the same code that I’m having a problem with:

I want to add a hitArea to my movieclip, and this is the code I have for the hit area (going back to my post from earlier in this thread):

hit.visible = false; this.hitArea = hit;

And this is the code that I have on the rest of my page:

Does anything else need to be connected with the 2 codes?

Thanks so much!
