RE: FLASH: code changes.

[EchoDotCom]

well you don't need to use a clipboard converter with flash 5 since the code

is just a throw off of JavaScript. however as Helen points out the process

of moving it back into flash is a bit prohibitive. I will just have to go

from frame to frame, and fix the code. no biggy, I get to relearn what I had

in mind in the first place... which is always fun when you have been working

on something for a month. ("whoah! what the hell was I thinking!")


thanks for the input

As a side note to this thread, does the action script compiler on the Flash

4 Magic CD (the one that converts scripts from any text editor) work with

Flash 5. If so, this has got to be the quickest solution, You'd be able to

paste all your code into Notepad (or similar) and make use of it's global

search and replace.

If this doesn't work with F5, who's going to write one and when?

You can do a global replace on all code in a frame by opening the Frame

Actions box, clicking the arrow at upper right, and choosing Replace

(Replace All is an option).  I don't know of a way (yet?) to do a global

replace on the whole movie, but will yell if I find one.
