I am trying to create a wheel of fortune with dyanamic values being inserted into it. Is there any way to have dynamic values to be at angles. When ever I turn them a little bit, they dont' seem to show up any more.

View 3 RepliesThe 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 2 RepliesHow could I find the shortest distance between two angles? Like say the distance between 359 degrees and 1 degree is 2 not 358. Any ideas?
View 4 Repliesbest 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 5 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.

wat'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);

I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. Could someone plz verify for me that u can't change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.
View 5 RepliesI'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

View 6 RepliesI have a dynamic text on the stage which gets updated (shows numbers) when some buttons are pressed.I just need to know if it is possible to show the first dynamic textfield in another dynamic textfield.Lets say the first dynamic textfield called "price" and the second one called "price2". when a button is pressed, the first dynamic textfield "price" will show a number. is it possible to show whatever is shown in the "price" in "price2" ?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)

how to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC!
i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?
View 2 Repliescan't figure out why the dynamic text boxes in my dynamic clip arent picking up the variable when I loop through this recordset!the trace (you'll see here right after I try two ways to assign the variable) traces the correct info back..

I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;

Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).
I'm trying to input a dynamic text field into many dynamic movies. I use a for loop to successfully create 18 movies. I can't seem to get the text to be input dynamically however. The dynamic text field in the dynamic movies is named eventText. This code in the for loop successfully creates 18 movies:
