How to convert from AS1 to AS3

Report · Jul 19, 2009

Hi I am new to AS3. I have a program in AS1 and trying to convert in AS3. But getting some error message "1093: Syntax error. #initclip 1" & "1093: Syntax error. #endinitclip"

I checked and found that #initclip is removed in AS3. So plase suggest me what should I do, Is there any alternative of #initclip?

Here is the code

#initclip 1
MovieClip.prototype.getNextHighestDepth = function() {
    var t = -Infinity;
    for (var i in this) {
        if (this.getDepth() != null && this._parent == this) {
            t = Math.max(t, this.getDepth());
        }
    }
    return (t>-1) ? ++t : 0;
};

ColorPalette.prototype = new MovieClip();
// COLORPALETTE CLASS ##
function ColorPalette() {
    this.stor = this._parent[this.stor];

    this.setButtonColor(this.bcol);

Please help me.

delete those 2 lines of code.

then convert your prototype code into functions that accept movieclip and colorpallete instances.

Hi kglad,

Can you please explain a bit more say if I have below code

#initclip 45

Object.registerClass("Border", mx.skins.Border);

#endinitclip

What should be the as3 output?

Thanks in advance.
