AS2 > AS3 translations?

[Kappa]

is there a site out there that has a translation from all the common AS2 commands?

I'm just learning AS3 now and i have no idea how to do the basic things such as _root.mc.loadMovie("asd.swf"); anymore

I think the issue would be the inefficiency of the translation, translating directly from as2 to as3 would probably not use as3 to it's best potential.

As for that specific code I suppose this will achieve that purpose.



var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("asd.swf"));
stage.addChild(loader);

I agree with Gnoll completely, AS2 --> AS3 isn't a simple translation where you just change all _x to x.

Its essentially a change in methodology as well, to utilise a more OO'ed and structured way of coding, it does make it alot harder though! But it will be worth it.

This might be of some help, though I haven't tried it out myself.
