[Xerte] Re: AS3 Code doesn't work in Xerte?

[Ron Mitchell]

Dave Burnett has already answered your question - you can't use AS3 with
Xerte 2. It's AS2 only. If you're using pageTemplates you could use the New
Window page to load your swf in a new chromeless window or obviously just
link to it normally.

Subject: [Xerte] AS3 Code doesn't work in Xerte?

 

Hi,


I may be duplicating one part of this plea - my previous post didn't seem to
come through.

 

I have to use Actionscript 3 for a particular exercise and the code, which
works fine in the SWF, doesn't work in Xerte.  Is there a problem with Xerte
and AS3?

 

This is the code:

 

1) To attach sound to a movie clip:

 

/var snd:grey_rod= new grey_rod();

 

//speaker_grey.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, soundbutton_Handler);

 

//function soundbutton_Handler (e:MouseEvent):void {

//snd.play();

 

2) for a drag and drop game:

 

var objectoriginalX:Number;

var objectoriginalY:Number; 

 

triangle_mc.buttonMode = true; 

triangle_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,pickupObject); 

triangle_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);

 

function pickupObject(event:MouseEvent):void { 

  event.target.startDrag(true); 

  event.target.parent.addChild(event.target); 

  objectoriginalX = event.target.x; 

  objectoriginalY = event.target.y; 

    response_txt.text = " "

} 

function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void { 

  event.target.stopDrag(); 

  var matchingTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name; 

  var matchingTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(matchingTargetName); 

  if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent ==
matchingTarget){ 

   event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject); 

   event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject); 

   event.target.buttonMode = false; 

   event.target.x = matchingTarget.x; 

   event.target.y = matchingTarget.y;

    response_txt.text = "You did it!"

  }else { 

   event.target.x = objectoriginalX; 

   event.target.y = objectoriginalY; 

    response_txt.text = "Try again"

   

  }

}

 

Please help - why might Xerte not like this code?
