Few days ago I uploaded my flash face morphing application and now I'm thinking of writing an article about creature process.URL... anyone curious about how I made it?
View 5 RepliesHow would I go about doing this but not directly like 360. like lets say my mouse is to the left of the character the character would than face its left frame I made for him like lets say his left frame is frame 2.
View 8 RepliesI have one character which can face several directions: t, b, l, r, tl, tr, bl, br.The type of camera is top-down 2d
T stands for Top, which is when he is looking to the top of the screen
B = Bottom
L = Left
R = Right
The character can look to other directions, like the Top-Left of the screen, which is tl
How do I calculate which direction he should look to if I only have one variable, rotation?
I have my as2 code for my game im making so far the char can jump and move left and right. make him face the mouse like lets say my mouse is to the x- of my character than I would want his left facing movie clip (which I havent made yet) to be facing that way etc. where I could start heres what I have:
Actionscript Code:
onClipEvent (load) {var ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;var grav:Number = 0;var gravity:Number = 2;var speed:Number = 7;var maxJump:Number = -12;var touchingGround:Boolean = false;}onClipEvent (enterFrame) {_y += grav;grav +=
[Code].....
That's the movement code that lets me move left and right and jump with gravity
(AS3) im trying to dynamically use the DisplacementMapFilter but when i use it the whole bitmap square gets the effect even though the displacementmap im using is a circle with transparent BG. is there a way to mask the displacementmapfilter so it effects only a specified spherical portion?
heres some code...
Code:
mapPoint = new Point(500, 300);
componentX = 4;
componentY = 4;
[code].....
After a displacementmapfilter is applied to a bitmap/bitmapdata, it can be undone by removing the filter.
Is there a way to permanently flatten the filter so the distortion is applied to the pixels in the bitmapdata permanently?
My issue is that im copying new data to my filtered bitmap and that new data is getting a distortion applied to it that is unwanted.
I followed this tutorial below: active[dot]tutsplus[dot]com/tutorials/effects/create-an-impressive-magnifying-effect-with-actionscript-30/ to get a magnify lens effect which works wonderfully, unfortunately the problem I'm having is I cannot click on buttons underneath the magnify lens. Is there a work around to this that I can implement? I tried mouseEnabled = false, to no avail. I'm kind of not sure what else to do.
View 2 RepliesI'm new in flash, how to create morphing effect in Flash like one of this sample : [URL]s are we should make separate images for every object movement that we want to morph.
View 3 RepliesI am retired and I am trying to study Flash, and I am practicing with the tutorial about Morphing text, every thing is ok, but it is too fast I can't read what it says.
View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to flash and I'm currently using CS4 to create shape tweens that morph from a shape (in my case an astroid, not to be confused with an asteroid) to text that I have broken apart into individual shapes. This works very well with the shape tweens; however, I would like to use symbols instead of shapes for my tween.
Naturally, I converted my shape and my broken apart text to symbols and then set up a motion tween. My research has told me that you cannot morph from one symbol to another using ANY tween, but this would not make sense to me.
Am I missing how to actually do this? If it is true that you cannot morph between symbols, then why on earth hasn't Adobe made a way to do this. If I need to substitute one shape for another in a flash video, and I have this shape in 100s of frames in the video, there is NO way to quickly find and replace those shapes, especially if you've duplicated the the several (20) times in each frame.
Using the Molehill with Flash I wish to create a vertiex shader, to have one mesh transform into another, I have seen that it is possible with Flare, However I am unsure if that was using Stage3D, Can anyone give me any pointers in the use of shaders in AGAL as to how this might be done.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to start with a circle and have that circle gradually become a spiral, but I only want the shape to tween from the end of the spiral, rather than the whole shape itself, is there a way to do this without frame by frame animation in Flash CS5?
View 1 RepliesI have found scripts to make them face the mouse, but when I try to tweak them to face another movieclip, they don't work.
For examples purpose make the MC: arrow face the MC: target.
I'm recently playing with Away3D Library and have a problem in finding Face center in Away3D. Why Away3DLite has a face.center feature while Away3D doesn't have it ? and what is the alternative solution for this ?
View 1 RepliesI have the project where I need to use papervision3d engine. It's 3d model of building. Each floor is separate .dae model embedded within swf file. Everything is okay regarding performance, but z-sorting of BasicRenderEngine is making me sad. If you take a look over attached image you will see that sometimes wall faces appear above cover and backwise, cover faces appear above wall. Each floor model was made with Swift3d by path extrussion. It has two types of material: one for wall and another for cover. Is there any way I can go through all faces and regading material applied to it assign them ViewportLayer and sort index ?
I tried to use QuadrantRenderEngine, it does correct z-sorting, but is CPU killer.
is it possible to rotate an object so that it always faces another object that is able to move around the screen? as in track it on the y and x axis?
View 2 RepliesI have a flash movie i would like to create that will be around 400px x 500px.
I would then like to have a rhino charging towards you (the user) so it would have the effect that the rhino is trying to break the screen to charge at you (face on) but it stumbles because of the glass on the screen.
how they would go about this animation?
I am making a simple Flash animation that I would like to put online and let people visiting my site upload a picture of their face so they can be the character, like on Elf Yourself. How do I do that? I'm assuming I make the animation with a square image of a face that I mask out, and the image gets replaced when a new one is uploaded, but I don't know how to set that up dynamically, or if there's a better way.
View 3 Replieswhat is involved to create a Flash file where the user can upload a .jpg of their face, crop it, and then add that picture to an animation? I'm sure you've all seen this...sort of a jib-jab type animation.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to accomplish something with flash but I'm having some problems, if not a solution I'm hoping someone can tell me a method and what I should read up on to do this: I want to have an image on the stage that has a gap the shape of a face in the middle of it, I'd then like to put a webcam feed behind it so people can line their face up in the gap and press a button to take a picture. (I've managed to put the webcam on the stage and take the picture but can't work out how to put it behind an image). Then I cant quite work out how I'd put the face onto a character I've drawn.
View 1 RepliesI got a working code to detect face in flash. It just detects and draws a square mark over the face displayed in flash player. Now I do need when ever a face is detected automatically a photo to be taken. How to implement this? Is there any open source project available for this?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to map an image(webcam image or dynamic image) on an collada object(head). In fact I have a head, and I would like to put my face on it . Something like that[url]..
How to stretch the dynamic picture so it can fit the mapping ? Match the eyes with the eyes, the nose with the (UV map) nose,... and draw the new bitmap
I'm trying to get my font to change when clicking a button.
The text field itself is inside a movie clip called draggabletext. The inside text field is called tfield, and is dynamic with a var: output2. It renders as HTML (but doesn't have to if you have a better solution). It gets its text from a different input field.
I have a "dropdown" menu with 2 buttons (instance names arial and georgia).
On the root I have this code:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
draggabletext.output2 = "<font face="" +textface+ "" color=""+textcolor+"">" + inputBox.text + "</font>";
[Code]...
I have embedded the fonts. Still, I can not get the text to change between the font faces when I click the buttons.
Since each face of the Script 3D rotating cube is a movieclip, I thought you could load an image on it. I couldn't get that to work.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a top down shooter and I'm encountering some interesting code lag with the function I'm using to make the player face the mouse.
Code:
//The function is called through a ENTER_FRAME listener.
//mX & mY are the current position of the mouse.
public function facePoint(mX, mY){
if(this.visible){
this.rotation = (-Math.atan2((this.x - mX),(this.y - mY))) * 180 / Math.PI;
}}
If I hold down two movement keys and then spin the mouse around the character really fast, it builds up some kind of buffer that sends the character out of control for a few seconds, even after you've released the keys. Just discovered that reducing the quality to low removes the issue entirely... so its a graphics problem. How to avoid this?

I have a symbol which stays stationary, and another symbol that moves around when I use the arrow keys.I want to make symbol1 (stationary one) to face symbol2 (the one I move).I'm guessing using _rotation to make it face it depending on symbol2's _x and _y position?

I wouldn't think this to be a very difficuly question to find a solution to. My question is; I have a movieclip with instance name "player" and I am trying to layout it's basic movement properties. I already have made it so that the mc will move up, down, left, and right. Cake. What I am having trouble with is getting the mc to rotate in the designated direction (right = 0 degrees, up = 90 degrees, etc).
I have tried using the xscale 100/-100 strategy, but that doen't do anything for up and down movements.
My code so far is as follows:
Actionscript Code:
playerDirection = 0;setInterval(function () {if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {setDirection(0);_root.player._x += 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {setDirection(1);_root.player._x -= 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {_root.player._y
