best method to calculate the angles of a triangle? Or have any good references? I have 3 points which can be moved when the user drags on it, so the angles will have to change accordingly.
View 8 RepliesI want to do a triangle so when you drag the corners the sides and the angles alter and you can show the degrees and lengths. Just like this website.

How to calculate the area of a triangle giving 3 (X, Y) points?
View 2 RepliesI as this working in AS2 and need to update to AS3...shows that AS3 doesn't like sloppy coding. Here's what I need: I pull data from an XML and that works when I put the data into a dynamic text box. However, I can't seem to get the date of birth into a variable. I have some code that calcs age in years but uses a string literal that I thought I could just replace with a variable from my XML...ain't a workin'. Here's the code I have:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.*;

The idea is simple enough but I feel as if I've been running in circles trying to figure this out. I need to get the polar angle between two objects. One object is stationary (the item) and the other moves around (the character). I need the polar angle to the item from the character. Basically the 0,0 of the polar angle will be the character's x,y.

View 3 RepliesI am currently learning some trigonometry tome with my actionscript...In AS I am aware that angles need to be converted from degrees to radians to use certain Math properties, such as Math.sin...etcHere is my code to convert degrees to radians...
ActionScript Code:
var degrees:Number = 90;
var radians:Number = degrees * Math.PI / 180;

This client of wants a flash video player of a model, modeling some clothes.
They are going to set up 3 different cameras around her at the same time filming her - one from the front, one from the side and one from the back. Each clip lasts exactly 3mins and they are filming her at THE SAME TIME.
Now after this, they want to put a FLASHPLAYER on their website with the video playing in a screen with 3 buttons underneath one saying FRONT VIEW, one saying SIDE VIEW AND one saying BACK VIEW. The three separate videos will be integrated in some way with this one flash file.
The video player might start playing the FRONT VIEW first.
BUT lets say 30 seconds into the clip I press the SIDE VIEW button the video switches to the side view on 30 seconds - The side view video doesn't play right from the start. Like I said before for example if the person is speaking and says "hello there", if you switch angle by clicking one of the buttons just at the point after she has said the word "hello", you switch to the angle where he is just about to say "there". If you see what I mean.
As I said before there are 3 separate video clips:- FRONT VIEW, SIDE VIEW and BACK VIEW. Now I am not sure if these have to be embedded in the FLA file or can be contained in a separate folder on the server so that the SWF can access them. I am worry about streaming over the internet thats why I THINK Flash Media Server3 MIGHT be a solution BUT I don't know. BUT they must be seamless.
AGAIN to reiterate...LETS say I am watching the SIDE view 30 seconds after the clip has started and the model starts scatching her head and then AT THAT POINT I click the front view button below I see the model scratching her head from the front view at THAT precise moment.
So all the videos seem to work at the same time to the casual viewer/user and it looks as though you are just switching views whenever you want.
I have been looking all over the net to see if someone has produced a working example or if there is a tutorial somewhere but I have found NOTHING.
I think there might be a problem pulling this one off as each video clip could be 4-5 MB in size and if they are streaming then there would be download problems and these videos might stop due to people with various bandwidth restrictions UNLESS all the videos were integrated into the flash library and were referenced from within by Actionscript but then the resultant SWF could be HUGE.
getting angles, of two movieclips that are on my stage. With instance names: circle1,circle2. I read that I should use the function Math.atan2 to get the angle, in radians, then I convert it to degrees, but it doesn't make sense, the angles aren't correct.. Here I paste the code I use (its AS not PHP don't know how to add the AS tags):

I have a draggable movie clip with another movie inside that. On the click of a button I need it to be at 0,0. This works fine but I also need to rotate the draggable movie clip and when I attempt to move the child movie to 0,0 it goes of the screen.
View 3 Replieswat's the difference between finding a angle using Math.atan2(y,x) function and by finding using the movie clip's rotation (mc._rotation*Math.PI/180);

View 4 RepliesIn my quest to build a terrain with proper collision detection, I've reached another stalemate. What I need is to be able to find the normal(x,y,z) for a 3d Triangle. before I start to build everything from scratch, cross products and all that jazz. I want to check if someone's done this before or can give me their 2 cents of how to do this the best way.Given 3 verticles with (x,y,z): v1, v2, v3 How do I find the Normal(x,y,z)I'm using away broomstick, and as far as i can tell there's no support for normal calculation. You would think that .subGeometry.vertexNormalData returns the proper normal, but it doesn't.
View 14 RepliesI have this triangle drawn (see fla)(Got it from this forum). Now I want a height being drawn as well. I want a height from point A beeing drawn to BC The angle at BC must be 90 degrees of course and the height drawn must alter when I drag the points B and C. Is this possible to do in flash, I have seen it done in JAVA
View 3 RepliesI want to build a specifik thing in flash, and don't really know where to start.... Say I have:
3 images of 3 three different squares
3 images of 3 three different triangles
3 images of 3 three different circles
The first thing you see is Square 1, Triangle 1 and Circle 1. If you were to click on Choose Square, Square 2 will appare in Square 1s place. If you click on it one more time, Square 3 will appare, and then round again to Square 1. Same thing for all the shapes.When you're satisfied with your selection of shapes you click OK and then you get to see a movie, based on whatever choices you've made. Because there are 3 different shapes and 3 different objects within each category, there will be 9 different movies to watch (3x3=9).One example of how this could turn out is:
Square 1 + Triangle 1 + Circle 1 = Movie 1
Another one could be
Square 2 + Triangle 2 + Circle 2 = Movie 6
I am working on a draggable triangle in AS3 and the corners must be interactive. To each corner a bitmap will be attached (in my example for now it's just a name of a city). When dragging a specific corner, the bitmap/cityname (attached to it) should fade in from 0 to 100 alpha. If the bitmap/cityname won't reach 100 of alpha, when Mouse Up, then it should fade back out to 0 opacity. If it does reach 100 alpha when Mouse Up, then it should stay that way. However, if another corner is dragged, then the cityname which is currently at 100 opacity should fade out again. Well I've got the draggable triangle figured, I've got the corners citynames appearing and disappearing when they don't reach 100 alpha. What I can't get to figure out is the last bit - the cityname currently at 100 opacity fading back out to 0 when a different corner is dragged. Hope it's at least a little understandable. I'm not sure my code is perfect (this is my first time in AS3) so don't mind if something is not the way.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have a big code, but essentially, this part comes to transformation of a BitmapData to triangle points, using affine transformation. Also - I know that BitmapData is rectangular - the last, fourth point of the transformation is just the first one reflected over the axis defined by the other two points.
A small thing so you can see which point is which one:
1........2
. / / / /|
./ / / /
. / / / |
./ / /
. / / |
./ /
. / |
./
3 - - - -4 - 4th point reflected
This whole process would come to scaling, rotating and skewing the BitmapData based on the angles between the points... But somehow my code still does not work. Looking at a similar thing in PaperVision 3D - still didn't work?
