I created a movie clip, an aircraft compass which rotates till the button is pressed but I would like it to return back to its original position in opposite direction of smooth rotation and stop. I already have the following script on the clip.
onClipEvent(enterframe) {
if(spin) {
_rotation -= 2;

I made two movie clips that follows the mouse but I want to put constraints on them, they should follow the mouse until the mouse reaches a certain distance and then the movie clip should pop back to its original x and y position.
Code:
private function init():void
{
addChild(backgrnd);

I have a clip that rotates to orient itself towards the mouse when the mouse is over a given area. When the mouse leaves the area, the clip snaps back to its original position.
1) the clip snaps directly towards the mouse at the moment the mouse enters the clip; I would like it to actually rotate;
2) the clip snaps directly back to its original position when the mouse leaves the clip; I would like it to ease back into position.

I have several movie clips on the stage. They are draggable. I want to be able to drag the movie clip, then when it is dropped, a copy of that movie clip will appear where the first one had been, and the first one will just stay where it is on the screen.
However, I'm running into problems with the syntax.
Here is my current code:

i want to creat a script that if my movie clip is idle for 5 seconds (or some period of time) with out someone moving there mouse over it, that it returns back to the original state.

View 2 RepliesDo you know how to rewind a tween. but I dont want it to just snap back to the beiginning. I want it to yoyo back to the beingining without actually yoyoing many times. you know what I mean?this is the code I have which make the beginning motion I want:
public function imageSelectR(e:MouseEvent):void {
myTween = new Tween(imageLoaderHost, "z", Regular.easeInOut, 0, -100, 1, true);

I'm playing around with mac os x-like dock in flash, but I've got a problem with it. I found this at flashkit.com, see it here. For your convenience i'll post the entire code below (it's quite long though).
Now what i want it to do: if the mouse is not 'on' the menu, i want the buttons to ease back to their original position instead of just spawning there. How can i do this via AS ? The _xscale and _yscale values should also ease back to original state.
Actions applied on the first (and only) frame:
[AS]startDrag ("_root.drag", true);

if (coffset<-175) {

My code in theory works find but for some reason things aren't doing what they're supposed to. Basically I have all my draggable puzzle pieces as movieclips; they start at specific x's and y's on the axis. You drag them to the corresponding hitbox movieclip and it pops into the other specific x and y spot on the axis (otherwise they go back to the first xy spot).
The problem is sometimes the pieces drag and drop fine, but other times when you click the mouse down, they drag, but when you let go, they don't drop! Randomly! They just follow the cursor around, til you click a few times, and then randomly it will drop and not move (when it's supposed to go back to the original xy position).

I have a movie clip for each piece of clothing that will be used to attach on the dog. These movie clips click and drag to add clothes onto a target and it automatically resets back to its original position each time you grab a different selection of clothing. All of my objects go the original position except for one. The "julyDress" movie clip automatically pops up to the top of the page and does not reset to the original position.
Below is my code:
stop();
var startJulyXPos:Number = JulyDress.x;
var startJulyYPos:Number = JulyDress.y;

Is there any way to make a clicked movie clip go to front, and then when released, go back to it's original position?
I've been reading about swapDepths and a few functions that allow to bring to front the MC, but nothing to return them to their original positions between the layers.
Can this be done? Or is it any way to make it look as it?
I want to make a magic 8 ball in actionscript 3. I'd like to be able to click on the movie clip of the 8 ball, shake it with the mouse, and then have it snap back to its original position when I let go of the mouse button. I have three problems:
1) I can make the 8 ball track the mouse, that's easy, but how do I make it snap back to the original position when I let go of the mouse button?
2) I want to constrain the movement of the 8 ball movie clip so it won't go all over the stage, just enough to move it back and forth a bit.
3) How do I randomize output of answers in the 8 ball window...such as, "not now," "doesn't look good," or "yes" etc?
I have a block that I'm trying to make move from right to left, and if the block gets to a certain point, it will move back to it's original position. So, I have this on my block (movieclip) right now.
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = 3
dist = 8.5
_x -= speed;
if (_x = dist) {
_x += 3
}}
But all this is doing is throwing the block at the 8.5 distance...
how i could create a function to do the following. I have a mc and when you click on it i want it to scale too say 150% and move to a different x y position, then when you click on it again i want it to go back to its original size and position.
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a project for my class using flash as2. I want it to be able to, when you click on a button, it drops a movie clip down the screen, essentially just adding _y to it, but then when it reaches 300y coordinate it resets the movieclip to its original position so that you can click the button and replay the same function. I'm not sure if this would be create empty movie clip each time you release button. I'm quite lost in this area so i dont have any actionscript to show, I really dont know where to begin. <3
View 9 RepliesI have got a movie clip moving up the stage and when I press the keyboard I want it to come back down to its starting position on the bottom of the stage. What code do I add to the following?
[Code]....
I am trying to understand the thinking behind motion tweening using AS3 (rather than doing it on the timeline).I am trying to create a simple platform game, and while this is simply a learning project, I have an movieclip instance on the stage, and using basic x+5 logic I can get the instance to move left and right on the stage accordingly.Trying to make the instance 'jump' is a bit trickier. This is the code I am using:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;[code].....
I thought this code would move the instance from it's current y-position and tween it to it's highest jump point. From here I planned to use a MOTION.FINISH event to tell it to tween back to it's original position.Something strage happens though, rather than tween from the current y position and move up, the instance instantly transforms it's position to y+100 and then tween back to the original position. So it kind of turns out that it is the second part of the jumping action that I want to create.
I have a video clip which I initially set a size and location to. I then re-size the clip and move it when a button has been pressed. Once the video has finished playing, the video clip should go back to the original location and size. For some reason though, it goes back to a different location though.[code]...

View 5 RepliesSo I have an array of eight mcs arranged in a circle around a larger mc and I want to make it so the user can click and drag any one of the mcs in the array and it will cause them all to rotate around the larger center mc. I can rotate one clip around using an ENTER_FRAME listener but since I want them all to rotate and not until the user clicks and drags.

The first image is okay until its rotated, and the second is blurry but looks better than the first when its rotating.So I have two questions.Is there a way to get better image quality when my image is rotating with out using a bitmap?Can some one give me a code example that changes the frame in the symbol based on the position of the cursor to the symbol?
View 1 RepliesI would like to use a movie clip such as a rim from a car and rotate it on its x axis centered and then move it along the screen according to how much of the screen has loaded.here is what I have so far sorry it may be a little messy:
stop();
//rotate the rim
rim_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateRim);

NOTES: the function rotateRim works correctly rotating the rim the var xpos provides me with the correct position i would like my X position to be and traces it out perfect upon test if trace is coded for it.
Basically what I'm trying to do is make a sundial-style clock animation. I'm using AS2 in Flash CS4. I'm still quite new to Flash so my AS know-how is slightly limited...
I want to get the time from the user's computer (I'm using getHours) and make a line (movie clip) rotate to a certain angle based on the hour. Eg. 1pm = 13 degrees, 2pm = 26 degrees and so on. This is the script I have so far and all it seems to do is rotate the movie clip to 90 degrees.

I'm working on a tank game for my Flash class that has a cannon that's supposed to rotate with the mouse. Unfortunately I can't get the rotation to work properly.
Firstly the cannon does not follow the mouse in full 360 degrees and does this weird rubberbanding "bounce" back to a previous position. Secondly when it does follow it does so in the opposite direction in which the mouse is moved.
The cannon is a movie clip and nothing is put on the stage (this is done by the code itself). Everything is located in the library and all the coding is done through AS files.
My experience with coding in flash is minimal, the past couple of weeks being my first exposure to it, just to give you an idea where I stand. Below is the code for cannon.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

I have a problem, if I use this code to rotate a Symbol (Movie Clip) on Double-Click it rotates only on the first Double-Click, is there a solution that it will rotate on every Double-Click?
[Code]...
So far my logic seems fine for half of the experiment, however, not the other half:[URL] What I'm trying to accomplish is when a user holds down the mouse and drags it across the stage the movie clip will rotate in 3D space horizontally. That works, however, when the mouse is released the movie continues to rotate along with the mouse position. When the movie clip is clicked again then it will stop rotating, but it cannot be clicked and dragged a second time. The link above explains it the best. Also I want to make it so the movie will start to rotate when the mouse is down anywhere on the stage and not just the mc itself.
