I’ve been encharged to translate three existing games for disney from english to italian.
It’s quite a pain in the ass enter in other’s people applications especially games.

Here’s a nice jsfl command that will help you when translating old AS2 aplications.
This script will:

• convert statics to dynamics
• apply a global variable into any textfield
• embed fornts and

[js]
if(!counter){
var counter = 0;
}

fl.trace(‘// include in first frame’);
fl.trace(‘_global.texts= new Object()’);

scanLibrary(fl.getDocumentDOM().library);

function getIsWholeInt(n)
{
var s = String(n);
if(s.indexOf(“.”) != -1)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}

function round(n)
{
var s = String(n);
var a = s.split(“.”);
var num = parseInt(a[0]);
var dec = parseInt(a[1].substr(0, 1));
if(dec >= 5)
{
num++;
}
return num;
}
