Help with AS1 to AS2 Conversion

[GaussianFracture]

Hello.

I have a flash file that was saved with flash5 to work on AS1. I need it to get it working with Flash8 and AS2, but when I change the publish settings to Flash8 it doesn't work. Can you help me get it working for AS2 ?

I'm posting the scripts below :

MovieClip.prototype.move = function (centerx, centery, inertia, k) { x = -this._x+centerx;y = -this._y+centery;xp = xp*inertia+x*k;yp = yp*inertia+y*k;_x += xp;_y += yp;};

1. onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
2.     // We define the reference point
3.     centerx = _root.Target._x;
4.     centery = _root.Target._y+50;
5.     // temporary variables used to calculate
6.     // the speed of the mass
7.     x0 = this._x;
8.     y0 = this._y;
9. }
10. onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
11.     if (pressing) {
12.         startDrag(this, true);
13.         xp = this._x-x0;
14.         yp = this._y-y0;
15.         x0 = this._x;

are those clipevents attached to two different movieclips?

Yesb ut I think I sorted it out. I need help with a different issue.

How would I find an objects difference in _x position of the current frame and the _x position of the previous frame? So I can subtract those values and figure out how much it moved in one frame.

[kglad · Accepted solution]

store the prev frame value in a variable.  that variable will be available in the next (and all subsequent) frames.

eg, for a movieclip mc:

prev frame

mc.prevX=mc._x;

subsequent frame

var diffX:Number=mc_x-mc.prevX;

Alright thanks, this should work.

you're welcome.
