how to get it to go from left to right, rather than right to left as it does now. Been messing with it for a while and have no idea what to do.
I'm trying to create a endlessly scrolling bitmap background. I want to make it as efficient as possible as there is plenty of other game logic going on too. The idea is to have a repeatable bitmap scroll horizontally on an endless loop, which can obviously be achieved by placing two sprites of the same bitmap next to each other and offsetting one when it reaches the far left boundary. I was wondering if there is perhaps a faster more efficient way to do this, perhaps using scrollRect or copyPixels? If anyone has any idea which method would be fastest,
View 1 RepliesFor a fullscreen AIR app, I want to have a tiling image (JPEG, PNG or whatever) in the background. The app is displayed on large screens in a public building, and to achieve a cool effect I want the background image to "scroll" infinitely, with the direction of scrolling changing with an interval in time. The background must be tiling and always filling the screen. Performance is of importance.What would be the best approach for this? I am thinking toward pixel-level bitmap manipulation. I have no experience in this field and I can't find any good examples/tutorials online.
View 2 RepliesI am programming a side-scrolling game. I want to be able to control the speed of the endless side-scrolling background relative to the speed and position the player is moving at.
I want to know how to do a few things:
Like, if the player is running, the background scrolls faster. If the Player is walking, the background scrolls slower. If the player isn't Moving, the background shouldn't be moving. If the it is at the start
Or end of the level, the background should stop moving too.
I have to duplicate a movie clip on a movie, to make an endless scrolling menu. The problem is I don't know real well how to do it, I can do it fine with graphics but it looks like not possible to do it with mc.here's a sample of my code I am trying to attemp

var refFirst:MovieClip = MovieClip(menuGroup.getChildAt(0));

I designed a horizontally oriented page that expands to the right. The problem is, the content goes off the screen.
I want to know how to make all of the content on the website scroll with the mouse direction like this webpage- sectionseven.com

But I have a simple problem I think.I have a moving panel of images, and I want to be able to change the direction of the panel with the click of a button. Here's what I have so far:

var rightDirection:int = +1;

so basically I have a circle which I got to spin around and stop when the mouse is over it. However I now need it to also spin Anti-Clockwise if the mouse is near the top of the page and clockwise if the mouse is at the bottom of the page.

I have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.
so i have a project where i will be making a website. I will be using flash to make it interactive and visually appealing. I found a website with a really cool entrance page,please view it he mouse moves, the background looks like its moving.
View 3 RepliesWith mx:Box I can set the direction to be either "horizontal" or "vertical". I'd like to reverse the order of the components in the box though. For example:
Before:
|button1| |button2| |button3|
After:
|button3| |button2| |button1|
I've created a custom component that lives in a mx:Box and would like to do this in as simplest a way as possible.

thats my basic Arrow key functions to move a movie clip lp_mc is my character in the left position so when left key is pressed it moves forwards but when right is presssed it moves backwards... i have a movieclip called rp_mc which is the same thing but facing the other way when right is pressed how do i swap the lp_mc for rp_mc so it changes direction?

View 5 Repliesi'm trying to animate a movie clip by subtracting from its y value and then when it reaches a negative value change direction and animate by adding to its y value until it's back to 0 and loop back and forth. what i have isn't working.

var direction:Boolean;
if(body.y > 0){

when it reaches -500 is jumps back and forth.
what i have is a circle image (for this purpose lets say it looks like a clock). For example: when you click 3 o'clock, the whole clock needs to rotate around with the 3 o'clock btn at the 6 o'clock position (with the pivot point in the centre). each of the 'time' positions (2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock ...etc) needs to be a button and thus be able to rotate around to the 6 o'clock position.This would seem simple enough by just using a.rotate value or using tween movieclips...however the tricky part is:the actionscript needs to determine which way the clock turns (anti/clockwise), dependant on where the clicked time-btn's position is. it needs to be some sort of if statement that says:if (3'oclock-btn) is positioned between 0 degrees (being original 12'oclock position) and 180 degrees (original 6 o'clock position), then rotate clockwise to the 6 o'clock position. If the (3o'clock btn) is positioned between 180degrees and 259 degrees (12 o'clock position), rotate anti-clockwise to the 6'oclock position.
View 5 RepliesI'm building a simple 360 degree image rotation effect using single frames and forward and back buttons. I'm new to AS3 and have managed to create functioning buttons... (so my code may be a bit odd!)But now I also want to advance frames by clicking and dragging on the image itself (or on an invisible button sat on top of the image).Although there are some threads here which have asked the same thing, I don't understand how they were answered. My code is below, and the file I am practising with is on:URL...At the moment if you click on the image area it will advance but as there is no code detecting mouse direction, it just goes forward. Can anyone help me understand how to implement a simple direction detection and then use this to decided whether to advance or go backwards.[code]

I'm trying to set up a script which would force an object to move through the stage until a particular point and than change direction. I wrote something like that:

moveUp = function () {
this._y -= 1;

this.onEnterFrame = moveDown;

moveDown = function () {

this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;

this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;

I've got a movieclip which follows a predefined path (like in those tower defense games). Normally the mc changes the direction it faces with Math.atan2 method and then rotates the movieclip, but because this game is in a tilted view( in stead of directly from the top) I need it to change the frame in the MC according to the direction it's facing.
Is it possible to read out Math.atan2 method data, and then change the frame the MC is displaying, according to this data? I used [URl]...on-and-realism as a base for this game. If Math.atan2 method
