    How do I upgrade this code from Flash 6?

    EntWebDS Community Member
      I bought a template and am attempting to reverse engineer the code written for Flash 6 and ActionScript 1.0 without really knowing ActionScript very well to start with. I would like to update the code to ActionScript 3.0 and a later version of Flash so that I can use the effect with updated features, but when setting the publish preferences to Flash 8, the code simply does not work. It doesn't fail or cause syntax or even runtime errors. It simply does nothing at all. It works fine when publishing for Flash 6 but not in Flash 8 or beyond. Is there something obvious to the veterans out there that you can point out to me? When tracing the code, the variable Object.environment.dotCount returns "undefined" but I'm not sure how to define it without reinitializing it, thereby defeating the purpose...

      The code should produce the effect demonstrated at http://www.ohmyflash.com/effect/201.html
