Convert actionscript 2 to actionscript 3

[peor]

I want help with converting codes from actionscript 2 to actionscript 3. I use bold style codes to change.

How I do this if this it is coded from actionscript 2 to actionscript 3 below here.

  private static function createText(scope:MovieClip, phrase:String, x:Number, y:Number, format:TextFormat):MovieClip {

      var teText:MovieClip = scope.createEmptyMovieClip("ascTextPhrase" + scope.getNextHighestDepth(), scope.getNextHighestDepth());

      teText.characterArray = new SatoriArray();

      teText.remove = function(m:MovieClip):Void {

          this.characterArray.removeItem(m);

          m.removeMovieClip();

          if(this.characterArray.length == 0) {

              this.removeMovieClip();

          }

      }

Similarly, this code also converts to actionscript 3.

Have declared these

private var removeSelf:Function;

      var l:Number = phrase.length;

      for(var i:Number = 0; i < l; i++) {

          var m:MovieClip = TextScript.createCharacter(teText, phrase.substr(i, 1), format);

          m.removeSelf = function() {

              this._parent.remove(this);

          }

          m._x = x;

          m._y = y;

          m.characterLength = l;

          teText.characterArray.push(m);

          x += format.getTextExtent(m.field.text).width;

      }

Similarly, this code also converts to actionscript 3.

Have declared these

private var onEnterFrame:Function;

  private static function configureEffect(m:MovieClip, effect:Function, delay:Number) {

      var l:Number = m.characterArray.length;

      while(l--) {

          var char:MovieClip = m.characterArray;

          char.delay = delay * l;

          char.frameCount = 0;

          char.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(char, effect);

      }

  }

Delegate is not included in actionscript 3 but in which other way can replace it.

you have more to replace than just the bolded code.  for example, your first snippet:

  private static function createText(scope:MovieClip, phrase:String, x:Number, y:Number, format:TextFormat):MovieClip {

      var teText:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

teText.name ="ascTextPhrase";

scope.addChild(teText);

// don't know what this is supposed to do

      teText.characterArray = new SatoriArray();

      teText.remove = function(m:MovieClip):Void {

          this.characterArray.removeItem(m);

          m.removeMovieClip();

          if(this.characterArray.length == 0) {

              this.removeMovieClip();

          }

      }

}

Thanks for your answer and you wanted to help me.

So you don't know how to do this teText.remove = function(m:MovieClip):Void { in actionscript 3.

Of course, I can replace removeMovieClip () with removeaddChild in actionscript 3.

These codes come from Satori Canton and he has made a text animation where he created a class file in .as and .fla

You have no response from the other snippet in the bold text.

[kglad]

you can add custom methods to movieclips with as3 just like as2.  (Void in as2 is void in as3). 

[peor]

I'm not very good at programming. Can you give me a example how I do that.

[kglad]

it would be better to create those methods in a class, but you can do it dynamically:

  private static function createText(scope:MovieClip, phrase:String, x:Number, y:Number, format:TextFormat):MovieClip {

      var teText:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

teText.name ="ascTextPhrase";

scope.addChild(teText);

teText.remove=function(m:MovieClip):void{

// do whatever

}

}

[peor]

What you mean with this dynamically then I mean methods and can you show me that.

[kglad]

i showed how to create a remove() method dynamically.

[peor]

Thanks a lot for the tips.

Do you know if this code is blue removeItem() included in actionscript 2.0

Something completely different

Delegate is not included in Actionscript 3.0 and if I in this that you can create in a delegate in this class

Do you know where I can put this class in the Animate CC program.

In this place C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Animate CC 2018\Common\First Run\Classes\FP8

package {

public class Delegate

{

public static function create(handler:Function, ... args):Function {

return function(... innerArgs):void {

handler.apply(this,innerArgs.concat(args));

}

}

}

}

Here I use it.

import flash.utils.setTimeout;

setTimeout(Delegate.create(func, "param1text", "param2text"), 1000);

function func(param1:String, param2:String):void {

trace("func param1=" + param1 + " param2=" + param2);

}

[kglad · Accepted solution]

no, you need to create a removeItem method yourself:

teText.removeItem = function(e:*):void{

a.removeAt(a.indexOf(e));

}

and i don't know about using a delegate function in as3 because there's no need.

Thank you for helping me with to answer my questions. Now I can perhaps continue my own project.

[kglad]

you're welcome.

(p.s when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses, if there are any.)

Here you have the Text animation and the files that are in Actionscript 2.0 that I want in Actionscript 3.0 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SF03HJMFiVoN6t_ZEiDY3cLBSSUoE2SX TextScript_Injection_sample2.fla https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ax7RLusWC5aqt9EyYdM4zcuqdmDNX0N8 TextScript_Injection_sample2.swf https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qJEOU6xdeN4RA4kucm5WOfUrmuVyLCB6 TextScript.as
