I'm currently having problems finding anything thats helps me change the direction an image is facing depending on mouse moment. I've found stuff on rotation, but I want my image to flip so its facing the other way.
View 4 RepliesI have small popup box which expands from size zero to some size when clicked on the expand button.
The location of this expand button is dynamic.Hence I want to change the the direction in which this expansion happens depending on the position of the expand button.
For example if the expand button is at the bottom right corner of the stage i want the popup box to expand upwards and leftwards.
If the expand button is at the top left then i want the popup box to expand downwards and rightwards.
I have only one movieclip for the popup box with the registration point at the top left corner.
I tried to achieve this by dynamically changing the registration point of the popup box movieclip using the DynamicMovie class. But no luck.
If I manually change the registration point it is working.
Would some wonderful person be willing to take a look at this code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I'm trying to use ENTER_FRAME method to get a moving movieclip to change direction when it hits certain x and y coordinates. I want the movieclip to move horizontally, then down, then horizontally again. With this code my movieclip starts off moving down at a diagonal and I can't for the life of me figure out why. (probably something simple I'm overlooking?) I'm a beginner at actionscript.

I have been following through the "gallery" tutorials here on Kirupa, and finally got to the third version (the one with the auto-scrolling thumbnails along the bottom, which scroll left / right based on the mouse pointer position, and the keyboard Left / Right scrolling).
I need my thumbnails to scroll UP and DOWN instead of LEFT and RIGHT, and have been trying to modify the ActionScript that came with the downloadable .fla file for the tutorial, but without complete success yet. (The functionality of the whole thing is still intact except for the scrolling thumbnails.)
Here is the portion of the AS that addresses the thumbnail scroller, and I have highlighted in red the variables that I believe need to be swapped around for it to scroll vertically instead of horizontally. I have made the obvious changes such as :-
_width changed to _height
hit_left changed to hit_up
hit_right changed to hit_down
_x changed to _y
[Code].....
Again, this is the ORIGINAL ActionScript, not my modified version. Only the items highlighted in red have been changed in my modified version. Basically when I test the movie now, I get the last two thumbnails of the gallery transposed one over the other, at the point of the movie clip instance, and no scrolling at all. When I use the UP and DOWN keys, I do get to "manually" scroll through the big images, but no change in the thumbnail area.
What have I screwed up or overlooked? I have scanned and scanned and scanned the above section of the AS, and I can't see any other variables that ought to be meddled with.
Im designing a simple menu. As the user roll overs a word, a simple bar slides under the word. I have that working fine, however I want to add a simple piece of complexity in that as it sliders under the word, the bar changes colour.
on (rollOver) {
// slider - Movie Clip's Instance Name. button_1 - Button's Instance Name.
slider.xMove = button_who._x;
{
[Code]....
It continues to slide under the word, but it stays the same colour.
I am creating a ping pong game. And I want to create the ability to control the direction of the ball based on the impact on the paddle. If the ball is coming down at vy = 4; vx = 4;
and the paddle is moving to the left at vx = -5; I want the ball to slightly change its course depending on how fast the paddle is moving. It would probably reduce the balls vx speed on collision, therefore making the ball move more straight (close to the Y axis) when it is moving back up.
I figure the solution for probably doing this would be to measure how fast the paddle is going. My problem is the paddle is controlled by the mouse and has no certain speed. I am trying to figure out how I can measure the speed of my mouse traveling on the x axis.
I am probably going to create a timer that fires every few seconds to determine where the mouse was and where it is at. figure the difference and that will be the speed
I'm looking to do a sliding image menu like this one: [URL]. I can do this using tweening but it is not as smooth as using actionscript. Does anyone know what the name of this is as when I do a search as I can't find any solutions? I've tried 'thumbnail expand' and 'image easing' but am not getting any hits.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a bowling alley type of game. I want the ball to change angle when it reaches the gutter, but the problem I am facing is, how can I check when the ball has reached the gutter as the bounding box for a line/box in perspective is bigger and I want to check any point on the line when the ball is passing/crossing that point and moving so that I can change its angle and direction. And also does anybody have a collision method algorithm or physics to create the falling of PINS when the ball hits the PINS.

I have my "hero" as a MovieClip that I placed on the stage, and resized. But when he changes direction his width reverts back to the original thats within the MovieClip.
I am trying to create an image pan that's move this image oposite to the mouse position with a tween effect.
There are lots of posts and tutos but I can't make it runs with as3.
I worked a menu with scroller, works with two movieclips on the sides, making another movieclip that moves.
I want to add easing, but I can not get, I have problems because I have not worked with easing.
how to add easing the movement?
there is mi file: barra.fla

I am updating source code I came across to AS 2.0 and I am having problems with the tweens. Here is what I am trying to accomplish in AS2.0:[URL] Here is the part of my updated code I am having problems with:
[Code]...
This is my problem: (1) I want the top image to tween to the right and up in X and Y direction and also slightly rotate. THEN I want it to tween back underneath the other stack of pictures in center of swf. However what is happening is that the depth of the topimage is being set under all the pics right away and the tween takes place under all the pics and not ontop. Is there a way for me to wait until the tweens are done and then execute my swapDepths line? Here are problem lines in detail:

I need to have a movie/image to go in the opposite direction to the mouse.For example, I want the image to go down if the the mouse goes up.Similarly for all other directions.
I want to have a subtle deceleration of the image.I also want to have a border for the image.The mouse should only move when the image is in the boundary.I want to have a mask, so that only the part of the image in the boundary can be seen.
I am designing an online city guide and on this particular page I have an image of a map. I want the direction/location of the mouse to determine the angle of the tilt of my image.This is a perfect example of what I'm trying to explainf you let the preloader load, you will see that on the main page, the pink background image subtly tilts depending on where the mouse is and how close it is to the image.

How to move the image in the opposite direction of mouse.
I'm trying to animate (rotate) an image in flex4 but it seems that flex is adding easing to my animation by default. How can I over ride this so my rotate doesn't have any easing. Here the line of code I'm using

I'm in the process of putting to together an image scroller, and have it working fine (to an extent). It scrolls left and right as it should, and stops scrolling when it get to its furthest left and furthest right points. This has been done like this...
Code: Select allfunction moveScrollerThumbsLeft(e:Event):void {
race("Left Clicked");
scroller.x -= 640;

I have a rotating product as an image sq inside a MC. When the user clicks a button I'm pausing the MC (.stop()), but that obv looks a bit naff as it just stops. Ideally I would like to have a bit of easing on before it stops...
View 1 Repliesi have a scroller developed in as2. it basically scrolls continuously in a direction until the direction of the mouse is changed. the images of course loop in the continuous scroll. now the problem is that for 10-15 photos its ok. but when i feed it with 180 photos, it seems to show only 11. why would this be? any restriction on flash ??
View 1 RepliesHow can I go about adding easing motion to this code. I have a movie clip that is significantly larger than the stage and the mouse, on drag will pan around the image. I just want to add a slight ease on the pan.
function beginPan(e:MouseEvent):void
{
deltaX = mouseX - content_mc.x;
deltaY = mouseY - content_mc.y;

im trying to create this custom menu a bit more efficiently. As written, it operates fine glitch free. However, id like to incorporate some easing into the movement of each movie clip.
[code]...
how to incorporate tween classes and then easing?
I've built a code to cyclically move a scene on the bottom of my stage; I've done this to make a slowing-and-stop-easing effect at anytime the command will arrive. The entire scene mc is _x long something like 6000 px. The whole code goes in this way:
1) importing on the stage (with attachMovie) a mc with this code inside:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x -= countermovement;
if (_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x <= -5800) {[code].....
The code goes right, but I need to improve it.Now there is just a variable, I tought to use two vars to implement the whole code in a setInterval, but maybe it's unuseful, and actually I can't use it in the right way.
Second issue: actually when slowAndStop function is called the scene slow too fast, if I take it to 15 it slow better but the scene is running too fast...
The best would be that the scene slow down and stop following: A) a temporal variable (and I can try to implement it with setInterval, that for istance is a cycle)
B) an indipendent moving variable, so that on one side I set the speed, on the other side I set the slow-and-stop in a matter of time with countermovement.I also tried to use a second variable:
var counter:Number = 15;
// set the _x increment
var countermovement:Number = counter/2;
but the scene slow and goes backward a bit

View 0 Replieshave a ball with the name of mc which can be moved using the keyboard .. when you press the left mouse button shoots the ball, this ball and the other flies in the face where the cursor was in the shot .. but if you move the cursor to another location and shoot a second time then the second ball is also flying in the direction of the cursor and the first ball change direction toward a second shot ..
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

how to make that first ball did not change its direction and continued to fly in the direction of the shot?

I am changing image through flex every time i change it saved into server directory with same name(which i am referring to show). So when i refresh my page my browser didn't send new request to server since it's already in request.so didn't getting new image.Tip:- when i clear browser history it will come with new image
View 2 RepliesI'm familiar with how to ease something in using motion math. Easing out would not be that bad either. But how would I script something easing in half way, then easing out the second half? It would start slow, gradually move faster, then slow to a stop at the end. - almost like a sine wave I guess?
