Action Script Editor

KoolMoves provides Flash 7 action scripting capability (but not AS2). A large fraction of the possible Flash 5, 6, and 7 operators and commands are supported at this time. It is important to note that Flash 7 is case sensitive.

Some Flash 4 syntax is not supported. The only valid target syntax is the dot syntax. For example, Flash 4 syntax _level0:clip and _level0/clip should be represented as _level0.clip.

Note that if you use gotoAndPlay or gotoAndStop actions and if you use a KoolMoves' preloader, 2 frames are automatically added by KoolMoves at the beginning of the movie.

Also note that in gotoAndPlay, the first frame of the movie is 1 not 0. It is less error prone to name frames and use frame names in goto actions rather than frame numbers.

The editor provides syntax color coding. Not all valid syntax is color coded, only the more frequently used.

The Syntax Assistance popup is somewhat out of date. It will be replaced with different functionality in the near future.
