ActionScript 1/2 :: Rotation Positive And Negative Numbers?
May 12, 2009
I am creating a roulette type game that calculates the winning number based on the rotation of the main wheel. I am using if/else statements to determine the winning number based on the rotation. I am tracing the rotation in the output panel. I would like my rotation to go from 0-360, but the output panel traces 0-180 then it starts counting from "-180-0"
The wheel can spin multiple times. how to keep the numbers positive from 0-360 and not have to write my if else to accomodate the negative numbers?

Whats the best way to flip variable:Number polarity from + to - and back.Is there an actual method, or do you just assign the var to itself...eg...
speed = 5;
speed = -speed

Is there a way to test if a number is negative or positive.I have some clips that position themselves on and off the stage. IF one moves in the other moves out the same direction the other is moving in. This also works the same in reverse. I'm trying to do this by checking the current clips position and see if its a negative or positive number. If its a positive then I can move it onto the stage and move the other off in the same direction. Maybe there is another way of doing this but I thought if I could check its value and see if its negative or positive it would be a start.

I have a function set up to determine the speed of the mouse, if the mouse is moved to the left it is returned as a variable in a negative number. I also have a function to make a movie clip scroll along, at the moment if you set the speed to 3 it will move to the left. So a positive number will move the movieclip to the left So you can see my predicament because the numbers are opposite, is there way of reversing one of them?
Here it is in short

i'd like to negate a number and would like to know if there's a built in method that will convert a negative number to a positive OR a positive into a negative, depending on the number.
i know about Math.abs(), but that only seems to convert negative into positive. is there a method that will do both?

I have an object that I want to be able to recognize in AS3.There's a port of OpenCV for AS3 already, that works with Haars cascades, so now I need to create a cascade of my object.
From what I've read, I'll have to create an XML of several images (positive and negative), but I can't find a program that'll do that for Mac OS X.
Is there anything I can use that'll generate that XML on Mac OS X?

Is there a direct way how to turn a negative number to positive using bitwise operations in Actionscript 3? I just think I've read somewhere that it is possible and faster than using Math.abs() or multiplying by -1. Or am I wrong and it was a dream after day long learning about bytes and bitwise operations?
What I saw was that bitwise NOT almost does the trick:
// outputs: 449
trace( ~(-450) );
If anyone find this question and is interested - in 5 million iterations ~(x) + 1 is 50% faster than Math.abs(x).

I'm having a problem getting a movie clip to Motion Tween from a positive value to a negative value. I have two movie/buttons on my stage. When you click one the other movie Tweens from a y value of 0 to a y value of 400. That works fine. However, when you click the other button, the movie clip should then Tween from a y value of 400 back to a y value of 0. I cannot get this reverse tween to work.
Code:
// code for positive tween
function movePeople(event:MouseEvent):void {
movePlacesTween = new Tween(pageloaderB, "y", Strong.easeOut, 0, 400, 0.5, true);
}
[Code].....
The second tween never reverses. It just stays in place.
I've also tried the same tweens using the y value of pageloaderB... so tweening from pageloaderB.y to pageloaderB.y+400, which works, but the reverse does not -- pageloaderB.y+400 to pageloaderB.y.
why the reverse tween is not functioning?

What i done there i draw a box and made it to movieclip and instance named it hook and created a invisible dot and called it dot. Then I calculated distance from box to the mouse then i took that number and put it in Math.cos command. And finally i made tweener to change box scale depending what my mouse distance from it.So if my mouse is close the box is big , if far - box is small. Ok, I want to know is there another way to do this ? Cuz , i cant think of other way to change arithmetic positive progression(like 3,6,9,12) to negative progression(like 12,9,6,3) than Math.cos command.

I'm not sure if if this has occurred to anyone before.... I'm using the built in tween-class of flash (cs4). In my script I try to display a notification-box using a slide-in effect: var slideIn = new Tween(this.warningBox, "width", Regular.easeOut, 0, 150, 0.5, true); This works. The box is invisible at start and then builds up like a flag unrolling from left to right. However, what I really want to do is sliding it in from right to left. So I tried to do this: var slideIn = new Tween(this.warningBox, "width", Regular.easeOut, 0, -150, 0.5, true); Obviously, I modified the warningbox so the pivot point is to the top right, but it still won't work. It seems the endvalue must not be a negative number. Can anyone confirm this, or have I missed something?

I am currently taking a value from another source and splitting it into Thousands / Hundreds / Tens / Ones to drive MC's containing images of numbers. Originally I was using this external value to drive a dynamic text box and that was absolutely fine. When the external value went below zero the dynamic text box reflected this and started counting downwards ie 0 -1, -2, -3 ......-100 etc etc. However with the system I am now trying to implement when the external value goes below zero my counters show 9999 and count down towards zero.
For example the actual value of the external value = -32 but my counter system is showing 968. Always the sum of the actual value and my counter value = 1000. So again maybe actual value is -160 but my counter shows 840.Below is the section of the script splitting the external value (roundelevation) into 1000/100/10/1's
Code:
roundelevation = Math.round(scaledelevationMils);
EliThous = Math.floor(roundelevation / 1000);
EliHund = Math.floor(roundelevation / 100) - 10 * EliThous;
EliTen = Math.floor(roundelevation / 10) - 100 * EliThous - 10 * EliHund;
EliOne = Math.floor(roundelevation) - 1000 * EliThous - 100 * EliHund - 10 * EliTen;
I am using these variables (EliThous / Elihund) etc to move to different frames of mc's inside the Mc's each frame is an image of a number.It works absolutely perfectly when the external value is above zero and my counter is counting upwards / downwards. However as soon as it begins having to deal with the external value being a negative number it begins counting down from 9999 instead of beginning at -0001 and counting -0002.how to make this work when dealing with a negative input value and I really don't want to have to go back to using the font and dynamic text box approach.

I'm trying to do some augmented reality projects with flartoolkit . I can now put simple 3d objects on my marker and it works fine , but I wanna give my project some events that the user can interact with. I'm trying to trace the rotation of the marker. there's a container:DisplayObject3D which my application uses to add the 3d objects , I traced this :"trace(container.rotationZ)" but it's just returning 0 . I studied another AR application's source code and it was using the rotation of it's container object without problem .and I think I should mention that I'm using the exercise file of seb lee delisle papervision3d course from [URL]. anyone has any experience with flartoolkit? the main functions of my my code is as below:

Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the rotation properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the child element it's own axis?I've customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin on the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I've also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of code to hide the left portion of the carousel. The entire carousel is contained within the 'container' movieclip, and inside of that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger item being the item in focus.
On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the viewer (as seen below),basically removing the 45 degree rotation applied to the container.The problem i'm running into is when you rotate the container (changing the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so when i rollover the next item 'in focus', the following happens..(in the example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a rotationX of 0, so it works fine)

Program A has a cannon that aims to line up with where-ever the mouse is pointing, in 360 degrees, and fires when the mouse is is clicked. Program B has an eye instead of a cannon that should in theory do similar functions when the capslock key is toggled, but instead only has a 90 degree range of motion from the Right of the eye toward the bottom (quadrant 4 only). Where did the ther 270 degrees of rotation disappear to?

i.m trying to create a 3d rotation much like the widely used carousel only the rotation i desire consist of four upright(90 degrees) movieclips resting on a slanted, 30 degree plane which rotate onEnterFrame or following a tween on a oval like path - then pause for a given number of seconds at the four movieclips positions equal in distance on the plane
function around() {
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
