need help changing from slash to dot syntax (AS)

[designedmemory]

hey guys,
i need some help updating some old action script, i cant seem to get it to work.

Its in old slash syntax and im trying to bring it over to dot, but i keep getting errors.

heres the code below, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!


on my slider bar :
/:value = (marker:_x/(_width-marker:_width))*580;

on the second keyframe
prevFrame();
play();


inside my scrolling MC
left = _x-_width/2;
right = Number(_x)+Number(_width/2);
friction = "0.9";

set("new", /:value);
speed = eval("new")-old;
old = eval("new");
setProperty("", _x, Number(_x)+Number((speed*/:factor)));

prevFrame();
play();

Slash ("/") is basically "_root" and colon (":") is dot ("."), therefore "/:value" is same as "_root.value".
