[killahert]

can anyone translate this from AS3 to AS2,



var mc_Shadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter();

mc_Shadow.color = 0x11222;
mc_Shadow.blurX = 8;
mc_Shadow.blurY = 8;
mc_Shadow.angle = 66;
mc_Shadow.distance = 0;

my_mc.filters = [mc_Shadow];

There is an overview of the differences between AS2 and AS3 in the help files or on this url: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/index.html?migration.html

Pretty useful if you want to check if something's changed.

since most classes in AS3 require importing, Flash CS3 imports them automatically (at least those in the flash packages - the classes native to the player). In AS2, only a few do and since you aren't required to import used classes in AS2, Flash doesn't do it for you.
