ActionScript 2.0 :: Custom _xmouse Coordinates Using Parabola
Nov 7, 2006
i was trying to print out the readings for custom _xmouse coordinates as the mouse moves. I succeeded in manipulating xmouse coordinate readings with two points, but now i am trying to manipulate it through 4 points! I tried using a parabola calculation as the numbers get bigger and bigger as they get further from 0, x. I'm beginning to think that i'll have to add a different calculation after the mouse passes each point now, like an IF statement if _xmouse goes to 30, then start multiplying a different number, until it reaches 60 etc. Check out the image below, i'll post the swf if you want, i've tried lots of different transformations etc, nothing goes through my 4 custom points: 0, 30, 60, 90. I can make it go through two points, 0, and another number, but never more than 2.

I created a map which can be moved up, down, left, and right. On the map are invisible buttons. When the mouse moves over an invisible button, a movie clip appears like a pop up info sign, doesn't matter where I moved the map earlier. All this I accomplished by using this actionscript:

I have another math question. I think this is fairly basic stuff but I'm so bad at math I can't wrap my head around it. What I would like to have is a formula that allows me to create an upwards parabola, using a given X and a maximum height. The maximum height is always the same as the positive X (so 3 if X = 3 or -3). The parabola must always end or begin at 0. Am I making sense at all?

First note: mathematically, I'm not that skilled at all. I played a game on iPhone a while back where you press a point, and an arrow fires from your castle which will always intersect the point you pressed. I wanted to make a similar game, thinking it would be an easy quick make; then I ran into the realization that the mathematics for this is actually beyond my skill level.
I'm assuming they're using a parabola formula or something which would determine the velocity and angle needed when the arrow is launched for the arrow to always intersect the clicked point. I only vaguely remember how parabolas work from school and have no chance of working out any formulas.

I'm trying to write a function that'll take a set of results, assign a probability to each result, and then pick one result at random, according to its probability.I thought I'd calculate the area under sections of a basic parabolic function (y = x^2) to generate the skewed probabilities.
Because of the nature of this curve, the amount of skew is determined by the range of the parabola used, as x tends to zero, the gradient tends to zero, so using 0 - 0.001 would be only slightly skewed. As x tends to infinity, the gradient tends to inifinity, so using values 0 - 100 the probabilities would be heavily skewed.to recap then, my function would be passed a skew factor, essentially the upper limit of the parabolic graph to use. All I need do is divide the whole range into equal sections according to the number of values and determine the definite integral for each range of the parabola assigned to each of the possible values. Make sense? Good.
integrating y = x^2 gave me y = x^3 / 3
from this I developed the following code:
PHP Code:
vals = ["dog", "cat", "monkey", "horse", "marmotte", "hampster", "yetti", "ant", "mouse", "duck"];
skewfactor = 9;
trace(getProbabilities(vals, skewfactor));
[code]....
and it kinda worked. It produced a set of probabilities which looked like they fell in line with a simple parabola.My problem is that no matter what skew value (i.e. max range) I pass in, it produces exactly the same results and I'm not sure if my maths is wrong, my theory on the nature of the curve is wrong or if my code is wrong.

how to stop an _xmouse, _ymouse action? I built a carousel with some movieclips controlled by a _xmouse action but I would like to stop their movement when the mouse is over them, and also activated it again when the mouse rolls out.

I've read how many people, frustrated by the plugin's inability to detect mouse motion while in fullscreen mode, have resorted to making use of onEnterFrame to detect changes in mouse position.
I need to do so as well ... all while the mouse is UP (not pressed) and floating around the screen.

My website has a ring of images arranged in a loop in 3d space and the ring's rotation is controlled by the _ymouse value. The problem is that anywhere you go on the page, the loop keeps spinning and is ridiculously distracting.I'd like the spinning to stop dead in its tracks when the _xmouse value is greater than 100, but I can't get it to do so. I can stop it, but it doesn't stop at the moment where the _xmouse value exceeds 100; it goes tricks itself into thinking _ymouse position is 0, going back to the same place every time _xmouse >100. If you want to see where I am so far, the site is [url]....
I'm still new to all this so if you have any suggestions please be thorough or alter the code for me so I can learn through a little bit of reverse engineering.Maybe I need a listener of some sort? I don't know. Here's the section of code dealing with the _xmouse & _ymouse controls:
panCamera = function(){
spin += this._ymouse/4000;
if (_xmouse >= 100){[code]....

I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.

I was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:
transforms x,y,z coordinates into Flash x coordinate
xFla = function (x, y, z) {
// cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line
style(1, "0xFF0000", 100);
plot(0, 0, 0);
draw(200, 0, 0);

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));
Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
This is my custome event

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:
package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..
So to sum it all up:
- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.
- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.
Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.

I am trying to change the cursor with coordinates.
I have attached the cursor to the mouse, which is a Red Circle
what I want to happen is when it gets beyond the half way point on the screen for it to turn blue.
I can do it as a rollover but I need to make it to it with if statements and coordinates.
Below is the code I have used to attache the cursor to the mouse
circle_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x = _xmouse;
this._y =_ymouse;

How can you get x and y coordinates of an instance? My instance is called "rock". This is what I have tried:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
trace(rock.x);
trace(rock.y);
}
but it does not work.Next, how can I make this instance go up by a certain angle?
