Problem converting AS2 to AS3
Hi All,
I have a multiple choice quiz FLA including an AS file, all written in AS2 and working well. I have tried my best to "convert" them into AS3 but still encounter a lot of problem. Could you please take a look at my converted AS3 and let me know what went wrong? Thanks a lot!!!!
Also, could you let me know whether the forum even allow the attachment of FLA and AS files?
