ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Rotate And Drag Within Cos(_rotation) Or Sin(_rotation)?
Aug 25, 2007
I have a project which will allow the user to upload an image, drag it within a certain area, and rotate it.The trouble is, that the user is allowed to rotate the image. When they do, then because the area is defined by the width of the rotated image, then the image will not go as far as it's boundary,or it will cross over it's boundary.I have searched the web for a solution, and have found nothing.I am currently thinking it has something to do with Math.cos() or Math.sin()Here is my current code(which doesn't work):
r = mc._rotation;
mc._rotation = 0;
w = mc.clip._width;
h = mc.clip._height;
[code]....

i know how to use the _rotation on a mc, but how can i let it rotate slowly
[AS]
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
rnd = parseInt(Math.random() * 2);
if(rnd == 0) {[code].....
this way it only flips to another degree, but you can't see it go round...

From what I have gathered, _rotation uses radians?Basically, my initial goal was to make a movieclip rotate towards the mouse. I'm not very good at trigonometry.Using the help files I found atan2 which seemed to be what I needed. A little fiddling got me to this code:
var xDist:Number;
var yDist:Number;
var angle:Number;
onMouseMove = function () {
[code].....
However,the _rotation is opposite what is expected. This is not a problem as I can just flip the movieclip. But really what im here to ask is, please ecplain this code for me? I don't correctly understand how atan2 works.. and why it needs to be *60.Basically: How to get a movieclip to rotate towards the mouse.. and why does the code work, I want to learn trigonometry.

I'm having a problem determining if the angle created between two movie clips (which I've calculated with Math.atan2) is within +/-35 degrees of movie clip b's rotation.

So far i have done:
[Code]....
Which is currently very glitchy it will not look at the mouse directly instead it will just continuosly rotate trying to find it, is there any way to fix this? The game... I have tried several different methods... Is it because it does not know how to face the mouse and what part of him to use to face it, if so how can i fix it?

if there is a way to use the _rotation property with the Tweening class to make a movie clip continually to rotate from it's current position instead of starting back at the original position and doing the same rotation again.
I'm trying to make an movie object rotate 90 degrees by clicking on a button and then when you click the button again, the movie rotates 90 more degrees. I don't want it to start over and do that same 90 degree rotation with the Tween class.

how do i change an object's _rotation based on the xy coordinates of another object (so it is facing it)?

I found the tutorial on duplicating movieclips, especially the line-by-line translation of the code. how to communicate with those clips�specifically to make them draggable and also to change the _rotation with Key.Right, Key.Left.

I am having problems with this Flash movie of an draggable, rotatable XML blog. I have got the XML stuff working OK. I'm just having problems making the drag-to-rotate thing work. I want it to be able to be moved around the page like a piece of paper and rotated such.

I have an object I need to rotate by clicking and dragging. Following some AS2 code I got the object to rotate a bit every time the mouse is clicked, but can't get it to work with drag.
needle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag_2);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop_2);
function fl_ClickToDrag_2(event:MouseEvent):void

I am trying to create a drag and throw effect I have most of the effect working correctly but I am wondering how to only move one item at a time and have that thrown unaffected til the friction brings the item to a stop. what happens currently is if an mc is moving and you select another it moves both items.
Code:
var mx0; // Previous Mouse X Position
var my0; // Previous Mouse Y Position
var velocityX = 0; // Velocity in X Direction[code]...................

Would like to develop simple (in browser) puzzle games where shapes (such as a puzzle piece shape) can be simultaneously dragged and rotated, then dropped on the screen or canvas. The game mode would be to click and drag the shape or object, while simultaneously rotating the piece using arrow keys Is this possible in Flash? This simple general activity of simultaneous drag and rotate, then drop, is my intended overallweb site game basis. I'm new to Flash but have developed Windows executables for many years. I'm trying to decide whether to purchase and learn Flash as platform for interactive educational puzzle games running in browser windows.

I've recently downloaded a great gallery from FFILES.COM. Here's the link: [URL]
I want to add in a menu bar at the bottom of the gallery. Meaning to say, all the photos that load up from the XML will be behind the menu bar. I tried with creating a new layer on top of every other things (inserted a rectangle box for testing), but the photos for the gallery comes infront of my rectangle box.

Basically what I am trying to do is have my movie clip rotate/pivot when I press on it, same as the arm on the record player of this [URL]. At the moment, the movie clip rotates according to mouse follow, but I would like to click, drag and rotate so it pivots from one point.
Code:
const TO_DEGREE:Number = 180/Math.PI;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateObject);
var maxRotSpeed:Number = 5;
var rotScale:Number = 0.2;
function rotateObject(e:Event):void {

I'm trying to drag & rotate a planet so it spins around with the mouse -instance name: PlayerThe code works really well but it doesn't seem to rotate around the centre, instead it rotates from the top left corner.I'm quite a noob at as3 so I'm not quite sure where I've gone wrong with my code to be able to fix this. Do I need to specify the dimensions of the stage or the planet? I have altered the Stage from the the default 550 x 400 (if this could be the problem).
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

Been working on this for days and can't quite get it. Place a standard playing card or something similar on your desk in front of you. Lightly press your finger onto a random point on that card and drag it around your desk. See how it rotates towards the direction you are moving and such? I want to simulate that behavior.

Im building a game, where the user has several images as movieclips. He can drag them to an area of the stage, and selecting them, he could rotate it. Does anybody knows some tutorials on hoe to start?

I'm trying to create a script that would imitate an old rotary phone dial. I have this script, but need it to function on MOUSE_DOWN:
Code:
handle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ENTER_FRAME, startRotate);
function startRotate(e:Event):void {
var dx:Number=mouseX-handle.x;
var dy:Number=mouseY-handle.y;
// presupposes position of object to be facing to the right.
var radians:Number=Math.atan2(dy,dx);
handle.rotation=radians*180/Math.PI;
var hR:Number = Math.round(handle.rotation);
rotationA.text = String(hR);
}
Changing the event handler doesn't work. Somehow the MouseDown function should be working like an EnterFrame event, I guess. The condition I want to check is whether or not the handle is at a certain degree angle to stop the dial from rotating.
if (handle.rotation >= 30) {
handle.rotation = ?;
}
Not sure what I need to put in there to stop it from rotating.

I'm trying to create a navigation system that relies on the user dragging on a wheel in order to rotate it into a specific position: [URL]. The problem I have is that whenever a drag is initiated, the wheel jumps to a position where it points the zero-rotation point (indicated in the example by the red dashline) at the mouse direction. Whenever the drag is ended, the wheel stays at the position where the mouse has left it, which is correct.
However, when another drag is initiated, the same thing reoccurs - the dashed red line jumps to point towards the direction of the mouse. In short, I need the wheel to drag/rotate directly from the position where it was previously left or where it is by default. It shouldn't matter from which position the user drags the wheel. The code is located in the script of the wheel-movieClip, and is as follows:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
this.onPress = function(){
// when the mouse presses on the wheel
this.onMouseMove = function(){
// get an angle to the mouse using atan2 (gets radians)
var angle = Math.atan2(this._parent._ymouse-this._y,this._parent._xmouse-this._x);
[Code] .....
How to implement it so that the wheel rotation is independent from the position of mouse, while it is dragged.
