I was wondering if anyone could tell me how and if it is possible to draw a line/ circle and place a movie clip on it and get the movie clip to go round the circle by placing the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard.
View 0 RepliesI want to draw a circle on the scrren of a random x,y position and a random radius. Then, I would like to draw a line that starts at the center of the circle and ends at the spot where the circle ends, at its perimeter. All I have been capable of doing by myself was creating that circle and set the drawing position with the moveTo function to its center, but I don't know how to calculate the length of the radius, so I have the coordinates for the lineTo function.
View 7 RepliesThis should be a bit of simple geometry: How do I calculate the points to draw the lines in the code below so that it makes a 2D cone or wedge shape?
import flash.geom.Point;
//draw circle

UPDATE:I should have mentioned my aim is not to draw a wedge shape, but to draw a line from a random point to the edge of an existing circle.If you're more comfortable with algebra than actionscript,
how can i duplicate a movie clip and then place it on a certain place on the stage
View 5 RepliesI`m working on a app that you can draw lines.....like circles, rectangles... my problem is when a user draw a circle for example....i wanna be able to paint (change color) inside of this circle. I`ve tried working on Shapes with cacheAsBitmap = true and Bitmaps with BitmapData but it doesn`t seens to work.
View 4 Replieshow to trace a movie clip and place it into an empty movie clip i create at the begginning of the movie
View 5 Replies[URL]
At step four, it says to
4- Inside another Movie Clip named "Limits" place "Pads" and "Wall". Pads' instance name should be "Pads" and Wall's instance named "Border". We put the Wall and Pads inside the same Movie Clip, to use it to know when the ball collided. And we couldn't put everything together because the ball behaves different if hits the Wall instead of the Pads.
How do I create this movie clip and put the other movie clips "inside it"? Also, if anyone can find out, where do I put this movie clip? Do i put it at the same spot as the wall?
How could you place a movie clip on a click in the same position you click?
View 11 RepliesI've only ever used tweening to move an object on the stage which always looks choppy. Say I have a movie clip that is just off the stage and I want to bring it to the center of the stage nice and smoothly starting slowly, getting faster and the slowing down,what actionscript would I have to use. In fact to make it easier, here's a FLA which uses traditional tweening to move the object, what must I do with it to get rid of the tweening and replace it with a nice smooth actionscript?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to use addChild to place a movie clip. I've got it working, but I can't get it to load in the bottom level of the movie. No matter what I do, it seems to load on top of everything else. I'm definately a newbie with AS3, and had only a little experience with AS2, but the load / unload movie seemed so much easier than this. I've found tutorials on addChild, but none of them specify how to load into a specific layer/level.

i've tried placing the code in the actions pnel of the mc; on the mc at the main time line and in various other unspeakable places... but i always get the same error warning me that this code can only be used in movieclip instances and that my stupidity levels are reaching dangerous levels. (error: 'Symbol=stage_mc, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 5: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent(enterFrame){'
i fear somebody will reply to this with:'the code goes on the movieclip instance'...at which point i will take up a career in knitting (i knew i shouldn't have given up the course in the first place)
I have my stage. On the left side, I imported an image to the stage and converted it to a movie clip. I then added code so that it can be dragged and dropped. On the right hand side, I created an area for it to be dropped into. This is just a rectangle which has been converted to a movie clip. When the image is dropped, it resizes to the size of the movie clip rectangle. Is there anyway to make it snap into place inside the movie clip?

I need to be able to draw a thick patterend line between 2 points in AS3, I can't use the draw API because it doesn't all me to actually put detail (pattern etc) into the thickness of the line, I thought about perhaps using the line to create a bitmap version and then using that as a mask, but I remember many years ago seeing some examples that use a movieclip as a source for a line.

I am attaching a sample which is 90 degree bounded as it has been given in animation, I want to make this or such type through mouse movement.

View 1 RepliesI got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I can´t attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
[Code]...
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons. What can I do? I could point out that I'm not working with any frames here.
make a circle object movie clip call ball and make a rectangle object movie clip call mc and paste this coding.

can anyone explain about the movement about D? the D is talk about the distance if i go -X,way my ball go ++ to +x?
I'm using BitmapData.Draw to draw a masked movieclip to a bitmap.Flash behaves very strangely in many different ways. To give a couple examples:1) Normally, the position of the mask is relative to the masked object. Ex. if I Draw() the movie clip at 10,10 and the mask's position is 20,20, then during the Draw() the mask will effectively be at 30,30. Weird, but consistent. However, if I Draw() the mask to another surface first, and then Draw() the movie clip, the mask position will be absolute (20,20 in the example)
View 3 RepliesI am new to actionscripts and I'm having some difficulty. I am creating a website that teaches kids about the about the brain and I am creating a website very familiar to this one,[URL]..So far I only know how to draw and call a simple movie clip such as what you see below. What I am trying to do is create the features that you see on the above website. I'll try to explain as best as possible what I have done so far:
I created one flash file and drew the background for where the text will display. Next I created several movie clips for each of the brain parts and I placed an invisible button over each of these movies. For example I told the button, "cerebellum_button" to play the movie "cerebellum_mc" and told it to go to the "turnon" label." Once it stopped at the label "turnoff" it displayed the text for what the cerebellum does.
I don't think that the below method is efficient, I feel that my code is redundant because I�m having to create a button for each animated movie clip, then each one of those movie clips displays text. It seems to me that I can somehow create a text in a centralized location and call it. However because I am new at this stuff I have had to create text in each of the movie clips. Is there a way that I can centralize all of the text then call it? My aim is to have the user roll over the brain part, have it animate, and have it display the text to explain what that brain part does. So far this is what I have working, I have one button and one animated movie that includes text.
cerebellum_button.onRollOver = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnon");
}
cerebellum_button.onRollOut = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnoff");
