ActionScript 2.0 Migration

The following table describes the differences between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0.

	ActionScript 2.0	ActionScript 3.0	Comments
	Compiler directives
	#endinitclip	Removed
	#include	Removed	See the include statement for similar functionality.
	#initclip	Removed
	Constants
	false	false	The value false , rather than undefined , is the default value of a Boolean object.
	NaN	NaN	The value NaN , rather than undefined , is the default value of a Number object.
	newline	Removed	Use the escape sequence composed of the backslash character followed by the character "n" (/n).
	null	null	The value null , rather than undefined , is the default value of the Object and String classes.
	undefined	undefined	The value undefined can be assigned only to untyped variables; it is not the default value of any typed object.
	Global functions
	asfunction	flash.text.TextField dispatches event: link	Replaced by the new event handling model. You now get the same functionality by using the syntax Event: instead of asfunction: . When a user clicks the link, Flash Player dispatches a TextEvent object of type TextEvent.LINK, which your code can listen for with the addEventListener() method. Any text that you decide to include is stored in the event object's text property.

	this	this	Instance methods are bound to the instance that implemented the method; therefore, the this reference inside the body of an instance method always refers to the instance that implemented the method.
	Operators
	add (concatenation (strings))	Removed	Use the concatenation (+) operator instead.
	eq (equality (strings))	Removed	Use the equality (==) operator instead.
	gt (greater than (strings))	Removed	Use the greater than (> ) operator instead.
	ge (greater than or equal to (strings))	Removed	Use the greater than or equal to (>= ) operator instead.
	<> (inequality)	Removed	Use the inequality (!= ) operator instead.
	instanceof	is	Although the instanceof operator is available, it only checks the prototype chain, which is not the primary inheritance mechanism in ActionScript 3.0. Use the is operator to check whether an object is a member of a specific data type.
	lt (less than (strings))	Removed	Use the less than (< ) operator instead.
	le (less than or equal to (strings))	Removed	Use the less than or equal to (<= ) operator instead.

	Statements
	delete	delete	The delete operator works only on properties of objects, but not on variables that hold references to objects.
	import	import	The import statement is not optional. To use a class, you must import it, whether or not you use a fully qualified name.
	intrinsic	Removed	ActionScript 3.0 has a similar, but not identical, keyword named native . The native keyword is similar to intrinsic in that it directs the compiler not to expect a function body, but is dissimilar in that native has no effect on compile-time type checking.
	private	private	The ActionScript 3.0 private keyword specifies that an identifier is visible only within a class, and does not extend to subclasses. Moreover, in ActionScript 3.0 the private keyword is enforced at both compile time and run time.
	set variable	Removed	Use the assignment (= ) operator instead.
	super	super	In ActionScript 3.0, the call to super() in a subclass constructor does not have to be the first statement in the constructor body.
	Accessibility class	flash.accessibility.Accessibility
	isActive() Method	flash.accessibility.Accessibility.active	Changed from function to accessor property. Name changed from isActive to active .
	updateProperties() Method	flash.accessibility.Accessibility.updateProperties()
	arguments class	arguments
	caller Property	Removed	You can achieve the same functionality by passing arguments.callee from the caller function as an argument to the callee function. See the Examples section of arguments.callee for an example.
	Array class
	CASEINSENSITIVE Constant	Array.CASEINSENSITIVE	Data type changed to uint.
	DESCENDING Constant	Array.DESCENDING	Data type changed to uint.
	length Property	Array.length	Data type changed to uint.
	NUMERIC Constant	Array.NUMERIC	Data type changed to uint.
	RETURNINDEXEDARRAY Constant	Array.RETURNINDEXEDARRAY	Data type changed to uint.
	UNIQUESORT Constant	Array.UNIQUESORT	Data type changed to uint.
	Array Constructor	Array.Array()	Parameter changed to use the ...(rest) parameter format.
	push() Method	Array.push()	Parameter changed to use the ...(rest) parameter format.
	sort() Method	Array.sort()	Data type of the options parameter changed to uint.
	sortOn() Method	Array.sortOn()	Data type of the options parameter changed to uint. The ActionScript 3.0 version also has added functionality; you can now sort on more than one field name by passing an array of objects for the fieldName parameter, and each sort field can have its own matching options parameter if you also pass in a matching array of options flags for the options parameter.
	splice() Method	Array.splice()	The parameters can have any data type, but the preferred data types are int and uint. The value parameter changed to the ...(rest) parameter format.
	unshift() Method	Array.unshift()	The value parameter changed to the ...(rest) format. Data type of the return value changed to uint.
	AsBroadcaster class	flash.events.EventDispatcher
	_listeners Property[read-only]	flash.events.EventDispatcher.willTrigger()	Not a direct equivalent. The willTrigger() method tells you whether any listeners are registered, but not how many.
	addListener() Method	flash.events.EventDispatcher.addEventListener()	Not a direct equivalent, because the ActionScript 3.0 event model lets you add event listeners to any object in the event flow, not just to the broadcasting object.
	broadcastMessage() Method	flash.events.EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent()	Not a direct equivalent, because the ActionScript 3.0 event model works differently. The dispatchEvent() method dispatches an event object into the event flow, while the broadcastMessage() method sends messages directly to each registered listener object.
	initialize() Method	Removed	There is no direct equivalent in ActionScript 3.0, but similar functionality is achieved by subclassing the EventDispatcher class. For example, the DisplayObject class extends EventDispatcher, so all instances of the DisplayObject and DisplayObject subclasses are capable of sending and receiving event objects.
	removeListener() Method	flash.events.EventDispatcher.removeEventListener()	Not a direct equivalent, because the ActionScript 3.0 event model lets you add event listeners to and remove them from any object in the event flow, not just the broadcasting object.
	BitmapData class	flash.display.BitmapData	ActionScript 3.0 uses the BitmapDataChannel class as an enumeration of constants that indicate which channel to use.

	rectangle Property[read-only]	flash.display.BitmapData.rect	Property renamed for consistency with other members of the API.
	width Property[read-only]	flash.display.BitmapData.width	Data type changed from Number to int.
	copyChannel() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.copyChannel()	The sourceChannel and destChannel parameters are now uint data types.
	draw() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.draw()	The source parameter is now IBitmapDrawable; DisplayObject and BitmapData both implement the IBitmapDrawable interface, so you can pass either a DisplayObject or a BitmapData object to the source parameter.
	fillRect() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.fillRect()	The color parameter is now a uint value.
	floodFill() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.floodFill()	Now accepts int values for the x and y parameters and a uint value for color .
	getColorBoundsRect() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.getColorBoundsRect()	Now accepts uint values for the mask and color parameters.
	getPixel() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.getPixel()	Now accepts int parameter values and returns a uint value.
	getPixel32() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.getPixel32()	Now accepts int parameter values and returns a uint value.
	hitTest() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.hitTest()	Now accepts uint values for the firstAlphaThreshold and secondAlphaThreshold parameters.
	loadBitmap() Method	Removed
	merge() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.merge()	Now accepts uint values for the multiplier parameters.
	noise() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.noise()	Now accepts an int value for the randomSeed parameter and uint values for the low , high , and channelOptions parameters.

	pixelDissolve() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.pixelDissolve()	Now accepts an int value for the randomSeed and numPixels parameters and a uint value for the fillColor parameter. (The numPixels parameter is named numberOfPixels in ActionScript 2.0.)
	scroll() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.scroll()	Now accepts int values for the x and y parameters.
	setPixel() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.setPixel()	Now accepts int values for the x and y parameters and a uint value for color .
	setPixel32() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.setPixel32()	Now accepts int values for the x and y parameters and a unit value for color .
	threshold() Method	flash.display.BitmapData.threshold()	Now accepts uint values for the threshold , color , and mask parameters, and returns a uint value.

	_ymouse Property[read-only]	flash.display.DisplayObject.mouseY
	_yscale Property	flash.display.DisplayObject.scaleY
	getDepth() Method	flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer.getChildIndex()	ActionScript 3.0 provides direct access to the display list, so depth is handled differently.
	onDragOut() EventHandler	flash.display.InteractiveObject dispatches event: mouseOut	Replaced in the new event model by a mouseOut event, after a call to InteractiveObject.setCapture() .

	capabilities class	flash.system.Capabilities	The class name changed from lowercase to initial capitalization.
	Color class	flash.geom.ColorTransform	The Color class has been removed because all of its functionality can be achieved with the flash.geom.ColorTransform class. Color values can be assigned directly by using the ColorTransform class constructor or properties. ColorTransform objects can then be assigned to the colorTransform property of a Transform object, which in turn can be assigned to the transform property of a DisplayObject instance.
	Color Constructor	flash.geom.ColorTransform.ColorTransform()	Removed. You can specify color values by using the ColorTransform() constructor.

	Error class	Error	Added a new getStackTrace() method to assist in debugging.
	ExternalInterface class	flash.external.ExternalInterface	Parameters changed for two methods in this class.
	addCallback() Method	flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback()	The ActionScript 3.0 version of this method does not accept the instance parameter. The method parameter is replaced by a closure parameter, which can take a reference to a function, a class method, or a method of a particular class instance. In addition, if the calling code cannot access the closure reference for security reasons, a SecurityError exception is thrown.
	call() Method	flash.external.ExternalInterface.call()	If a problem occurs, the ActionScript 3.0 version of this method throws an Error or SecurityError exception, in addition to returning null .
	FileReference class	flash.net.FileReference	The ActionScript 3.0 version inherits the addEventListener() and removeEventListener() methods from the EventDispatcher class. Dispatched events replace the event handler functions.
	postData Property	flash.net.URLRequest.data	The postData property is added to ActionScript 2.0 in Flash Player 9 to send POST data with the file upload or download. In ActionScript 3.0, use the data property of the URLRequest class to send either POST or GET data. See flash.net.URLRequest.data in this language reference for details.
	size Property[read-only]	flash.net.FileReference.size	Returns a uint data type instead of a Number data type.
	addListener() Method	flash.events.EventDispatcher.addEventListener()	In the new event model, there is no need to have a class-specific addListener() method, because the class inherits the addEventListener() method from the EventDispatcher class.
	browse() Method	flash.net.FileReference.browse()	In ActionScript 2.0, returns false when there is an error. In ActionScript 3.0, throws an IllegalOperationError or ArgumentError exception. However, the method still returns false if the parameters are invalid, the file-browsing dialog box does not open, or another browser session is in progress. Also, the typelist parameter changed. In ActionScript 2.0, you can pass the browse() method an array of strings to specify a file filter. In ActionScript 3.0, you pass an array of FileFilter objects.
	download() Method	flash.net.FileReference.download()	When an error occurs, throws exceptions instead of returning false . The data type for the first parameter has changed. In ActionScript 2.0, the first parameter you pass to download() is a string. In ActionScript 3.0, you pass a URLRequest object.
	removeListener() Method	flash.events.EventDispatcher.removeEventListener()	In the new event model, there is no need to have a class-specific removeListener() method, because the class inherits the removeEventListener() method from the EventDispatcher class.
	upload() Method	flash.net.FileReference.upload()	Various changes have occurred: The data type for the first parameter has changed. In ActionScript 2.0, the first parameter you pass to upload() is a string. In ActionScript 3.0, you pass a URLRequest object. In ActionScript 3.0, there is a new second parameter, uploadDataFieldName , which is the field name that precedes the file data in the upload POST operation. In ActionScript 3.0, there is a new third parameter, testUpload , that lets you control whether Flash Player performs a test upload before uploading the file. When an error occurs, browse() throws exceptions instead of returning false .
	onCancel Listener	flash.net.FileReference dispatches event: cancel	In ActionScript 3.0, instead of invoking the onCancel() event handler, this class dispatches an event named cancel .
	onComplete Listener	flash.net.FileReference dispatches event: complete	In ActionScript 3.0, instead of invoking the onComplete() event handler, this class dispatches an event named complete .
	onHTTPError Listener	flash.net.FileReference dispatches event: httpStatus	In ActionScript 3.0, instead of invoking the onHTTPError() event handler, this class dispatches an event named httpStatus .
	onIOError Listener	flash.net.FileReference dispatches event: ioError	In ActionScript 3.0, instead of invoking the onIOError() event handler, this class dispatches an event named ioError .
