ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX] Spaceship Control - Rotation & Thrust

Nov 14, 2004

Actionscript 3 :: Rotating The Projectiles ALONG With The Spaceship

Sep 4, 2011

I want my spaceship shoot two shots at once. So I used my first array of projectiles and placed them at the right side of the ship (one shot on the left and one on the right). So far so good. But when I shoot with my spaceship and I turn around the rotations of the projectiles look very strange. It's hard to describe so here's an image that shows the error in action. [URL] I have huge problems rotating the projectiles ALONG with the spaceship so that it looks really good. Currently there is one single shot only. My shooting gets screwed up when I rotate and fire at once. The goal is to create a dual firing cannon like in the picture shown. Here is some code that places the projectile at the left of the ship (that doesn't really work):

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Flames While Spaceship Is Flying?

Aug 10, 2010

Im trying to add flames while my spaceship is flying. When forward button is pressed the flame appears from the center of the ship and when the right or left button is pressed the flame appears from the right or left side of the ship, I tried to use gotoAndStop, but it only shows frame by the last pressed button, if I press two keys at same time I see only one flame. What should I do to see two frames at the same time?

Actionscript 3.0 :: Papervision 3D Spaceship Movement?

Jul 22, 2011

I am working on a spaceship flying simulation in PV3D. It's a simple concept, when [SPACE] is pressed, the ship moves forward. The [mouse position] controls the direction the spaceship travels. Similar to this video http:[url].... (though i do not need it to do banks and rolls or anything fancy yet, the video is just to put an image in ur head).I am using these Trig equations to calculate the X, Y, Z velocities,

velocityX = Math.sin (shipdae.localRotationY * Math.PI / 180 ) * speed;
velocityY = Math.sin(shipdae.localRotationX * Math.PI / 180 ) * -speed;
velocityZ = Math.cos(shipdae.localRotationY * Math.PI / 180 ) * speed;

IDE :: Create Trail For Sky Rocket/spaceship?

Nov 12, 2009

I�m working on an asteroid game and don�t get it to create a nice trail for my spaceship(s).It doesn�t need to look spectacular, just "nice".I tried a comic look alike version with angled mc�s, whose scale are tweened down and up. But it�s not the right look.And I tried some flame effects by as3, but it not seems to be a smart solution. Nice look, but needs a lot of memory space.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create An Enemy Spaceship That Has A Simple AI?

Jul 31, 2011

i.e. everytime the spaceship reaches a point a new one will be created randomly and the ship is flying to it (etc., etc.)Problem is that it doesn't really work because after the ship flies around for some time it suddenly stops to move. It's a matter of time. Sometimes the problem occurs after 5 seconds then again the spaceships flies around for 2 - 3 minutes and stops the movement immediately.Currently I have no clue where the problem is. I already checked the distance function but so far it seems to be okay

This is the code (just an excerpt):

Code:
private function update(timeDifference:Number = 0):void
{
var step:Number = (timeDifference / 1000) * timeBasedUpdateModifier;
for each (tempEnemy in enemyManager.enemies)

Actionscript 3 :: Augmented Reality Flartoolkit Rotation - Trace The Rotation Of The Marker

I'm trying to do some augmented reality projects with flartoolkit . I can now put simple 3d objects on my marker and it works fine , but I wanna give my project some events that the user can interact with. I'm trying to trace the rotation of the marker. there's a container:DisplayObject3D which my application uses to add the 3d objects , I traced this :"trace(container.rotationZ)" but it's just returning 0 . I studied another AR application's source code and it was using the rotation of it's container object without problem .and I think I should mention that I'm using the exercise file of seb lee delisle papervision3d course from [URL]. anyone has any experience with flartoolkit? the main functions of my my code is as below:

ActionScript 3.0 :: 3D Rotation Of Nested Movieclips, Separate Of Parent Rotation?

Aug 11, 2010

Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the  rotation  properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the  child  element it's own axis?I've customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin  on  the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I've also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of   code to hide the left portion of the carousel. The entire  carousel is contained within the 'container' movieclip, and  inside of  that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger  item being  the item in focus.

On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the   viewer (as seen below),basically removing the 45 degree rotation   applied to the container.The problem i'm running into is when you rotate the container (changing   the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so   when i rollover the next item 'in focus', the following happens..(in  the  example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a   rotationX of 0, so it works fine)

ActionScript 1/2 :: Inconsistent Rotation - 270 Degrees Of Rotation Disappear?

Apr 21, 2009

Program A has a cannon that aims to line up with where-ever the mouse is pointing, in 360 degrees, and fires when the mouse is is clicked. Program B has an eye instead of a cannon that should in theory do similar functions when the capslock key is toggled, but instead only has a 90 degree range of motion from the Right of the eye toward the bottom (quadrant 4 only). Where did the ther 270 degrees of rotation disappear to?

ActionScript 3.0 :: 3D - Rotation Via MatrixTransformer - Do A "pseudo 3D" Rotation Of A Movie Clip

Dec 2, 2008

I am trying to do a simple "pseudo 3D" rotation of a movie clip. The clip would "flip" on to the screen. I have created the effect using PaperVision3D, however, the final SWF is about 64k and my project requires a smaller file size. I tried to create the flip effect manually by creating skewed versions of the clip and tweening between them, except this doesn't work because the shape is not tweaked along the vanishing point as it should be. It looks like perhaps I could accomplish what I want to do using the MatrixTransformer but I've not had much luck so far.

Flash :: Control Movie From JavaScript When Have No Control Over The Source?

Nov 4, 2009

Is it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).

360 Degree Product Rotation

Apr 11, 2007

I have a client that wants a product to rotate around its axis for a full 360 degree view of the product. The final view needs to be draggable - so a user can use their mouse to turn it left or right. I took photos of the product in 10 degree increments and created a movie clip - but I can't figure out how to get it so a user can control the view: turning the product left or right.
