AS3 :: Flash - Smooth Custom Movieclip Repel Function?

Oct 30, 2010

I wrote this repel function (below) for 2 movieclips and I call it from a timer instead of an enter_frame listener (speed), but it has the tendency to jerk and not be very smooth. How can I smooth the movements?

function repel(mover2, mover) {
var xdiff:Number = mover2.x - mover.x;
var ydiff:Number = mover2.y - mover.y;
var dist:Number = Math.sqrt(xdiff*xdiff + ydiff*ydiff);

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Movieclip To Repel The Mouse Cursor?

Mar 4, 2011

I'm trying to build an application where the themouse cursor is used to "blow" a movieclip around. The way I'm doing this is by making the mouse cursor repel the movieclip. The problem is, I can only get it to work on the top and the left of the movieclip.

Here's my code:

function moveCloud(event:Event):void {
var yChange:Number = Math.round(mouseY-cloud.y);
var xChange:Number = Math.round(mouseX-cloud.x);

I am after a script that allows me to use my mouse and repel objects within the canvas in Flash. For example, if I move my mouse close to a shape, say a circle, the shape would immediately dodge the mouse.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Custom Property Lost In OnRelease Function?

Nov 2, 2006

I'm trying to assign a custom property to an attached MC. In this case it's an ID number, but it's always undefined inside the onRelease function... What am I missing?

ActionScript Code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Smooth Resize Onclick And Animation To Be Smooth?

Feb 9, 2004

I have a movieclip that I want to be resized when a button is clicked. I want the animation to be smooth as if it had weight though. I read the tutorial on this but I need something slightly different, I would rather it where I can just refer to a function that is set in another movieclip. That way I could easily refer to it again and just set the height, width, and if possible, x, and y.

And my second question, is how to keep the border of my movieclip that is going to be resized the same thickness. I want the inside to be resized but the sides to stay the same width but move to stay on the edge.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Movement (Right To Left) Not Smooth

Dec 7, 2004

I have the following script in both frame 1 and 2 to let a movieclip move from right to left on the stage:
Code:
speed =-5
name._x += speed
if (name._x<-500) {
name._x = 250;
}
And the clip is indeed moving from right to left on the stage and when it reaches _x -550 it is going back to it's starting position _x 250 only the movement isn't smooth at all. What should I do to make the movement more smooth or should I use a completely different script?

Flash - Listener In Main Document Class For Custom Dispatch Event From Another Class Does Not Respond Or Call Function?

Apr 1, 2011

I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:

enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);

[code]....

In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:

enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();

I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?

i have a set of "if conditionals" that should always be together,what i want to do is to put these conditionals in a function... then call the function once needed. i want to call this function once the flash starts playing + when i click on any of the 3 buttons.

here is the code so far:

ActionScript Code:
var btn1:Boolean=true;

var btn3:Boolean;

the problem is button1 should have no eventlistener once the movie starts playing, but it has all listeners... so how can i make AS reads BtnStatus function once it starts loading

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Events - Any Way To Call Function?

Jul 29, 2009

The fact is that the "dispatchEvent" method must be placed into the code or timeline where the "event" happens, then it can be trigged and the function associated with the event will be invoked. Ok, it is understood. Nevertheless, my question is: what's the point to create an event to trigger the a function call, if I can simply call the function instead directly???

Code:
package{
import flash.events.Event;
public class CustomEvent extends Event{
public static const ONSOMETHING:String = "onSomething";
public function CustomEvent(type:String){
super(type);
[Code] .....

If I can do simply:
Code:
DoIt();
function DoIt(){
trace ("Done!");
}
What I mean is that custom events doesn't look like as REAL events for me, but more like a delegate way to call a function. Differently from Flash native events that are controlled by an internal engine that keep checking if the event happened, in the custom events they must triggered 'manually', and it seems to lose the event main characteristic.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Easing Function With Bounce

Aug 20, 2009

I've been trying to find an easing generator that supports bounce but have found none. I want to create an easing function that starts as a easeInSine (or quad) and ends as en easeOutBounce (imagine dropping an object on the ground). I've already thought of splitting up the tween in two. Just realised that the easeOutBounce actually starts a little bit like easeInSine but I would like to enhance that part to make a steeper curve.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Communication Between Custom Function And OnComplete?

Feb 21, 2012

I created a function with input variables, so I don't have to repeat this function X amount of times. But within the function is a TweenLite call and that call has an onComplete. This onComplete somehow doesn't understand what the variables filled in in my function represent.

PHP Code:

function navMenuInput(check01:Boolean, check02:Boolean, movieClip01:MovieClip, movieClip02:MovieClip){        if(check01 == true && check02 == false){            if(movieClip02.stage){                TweenLite.to(movieClip02, 1, {alpha: 0, onComplete: navMenuInputComplete} );            }else{                navMenu.addChildAt(movieClip01, 0);                movieClip01.x = navMenu.width-

[code]...

EDIT:I think I can make this a bit more clear when I explain what this is supposed to do:This menu can reach it's end via different routes. So the user can choose Path A or B, but what I'm trying to set up here is. If A is on stage, A should be removed first before B is placed and vice versa. And because this happens for about 4-5 times I wanted to shorten the code by using something like this.
