ActionScript to Unity?
Hi, there. Now I have one task - porting flash game (from fb) to Unity (mobile). I have sources in AC3 that used some flash lybraries. Can I used it on Unity 5? If I convert scripts from AC3 to JS - where I can get some analogs for flash namespaces (flash.events.Event, etc)? Or can I use C++ code in Unity project (we have working analogs of flash namespaces in C++)?
Any help will be great. Thnx
I'm fairly new to Unity but I used to work with Flash and AS3 also. I'm afraid you're going to have to rewrite everything either in JS or C# using Unity Classes (I'm using C# myself as it seems most people do and it's more strict).
Unity works differently from Flash in many ways and from what I can tell, it's better suited for game development. I suggest you start by watching a few tutorials and then dive into the code reference to see what classes are available and how you can replicate the functions of your AS3 code.
rewriting isnt a problem, ofc. but where i can get some methods such as flash.events.Event ant etc.? or its impossible?
With the exception of the GUI system introduced in 4.6, Unity doesn't really use events. I haven't really used this new GUI system yet, but as far as I know it is not really suitable for anything other than triggering UI events (also see manual). Ins$$anonymous$$d, Unity relies mostly on calling specifically named functions on $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour derived classes, such as OnTriggerEnter() or OnCollisionExit().
You might want to check out Send$$anonymous$$essage() and Broadcast$$anonymous$$essage(). There is a subtle difference between the two, explained here. Note that these methods don't support bubbling and that using them is somewhat discouraged due to performance issues.
A better approach may be an Observer pattern, though no default implementation exists in Unity itself.
Seconded. How could you connect to prebuilt Flash libraries? I think you'll have to rewrite them as @another_kind said. Have you searched to see if what you're looking for already exists as Unity packages, or if somebody has built something similar for sale in the asset store?
