AS2 or AS3

[RenMan3Grand]

Hi there I am building a site in Flash8 AS2.
I, as a beginner have for this project for the first time ever have begun to use frame labels, and parent/sub movies.
However, I have run into a major problem as when I test the movie it takes rediculously long to load. The file is small so no issues there and I have talked to others who are puzzled by this phenomenon.

Anyhow, I had a thought, is my script AS2 or AS3?

ex.

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("Hostel_CommCent");
}

It's AS2

Any time you see on() or onClipEvent(), you know you're dealing with
ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0 -- not 3.0. Those functions, on() and
onClipEvent(), allow you to attach code directly to objects, which isn't
allowed in AS3. (Instead, all code is attached in keyframes in AS3, or in
external text files.)
