ActionScript 3.0 :: Point Cannon Barrel Towards Mouse?
Feb 20, 2012EDIT: Rotation issue is solved with this:
ActionScript Code:
Math.atan2(ydif, xdif)/(Math.PI/180)-90;
I made a cannon consisting of 3 movie clips: The barrel, base and projectile. I want the barrel to point toward the mouse and the projectile to follow the barrel on the "inside" (behind the movie clip). Also i don't want the barrel to instantly go to different angels, a smooth animation that make the barrel feel like it has some weight would be nice.
Here is an image of the project: [URL]..

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Swf's To Load Into The Shell?
Jul 16, 2008i'm having a bit of a problem at the minute, i'm trying to get an external SWF to load into a shell i've created. The way i'd like it to work is that a preloader loads the shell, then once thats done i want the external swf home page to load in afterwards (which also has a preloader)
I know the swf's work all right as i've created buttons that when clicked load the external files, so no problem there.

View 4 RepliesAdobe Components Do Not Display When Loaded Into AIR Shell?
Nov 10, 2009The Slider (and all UIComponents) rely on direct access to the 'stage' - which is denied due to recent AIR 1.5 security restrictions. This restriction prevents any UIComponent from working when loaded into an AIR app as a local SWF. The parentSandboxBridge cannot return a reference to the stage.

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Creating RobotLegs Module Within A PureMVC Shell Application
Oct 19, 2010I'm working on an existing modular project that was built in PureMVC. Instead of converting everything over to RobotLegs, I want to create a new module using RobotLegs and plug it into the pureMVC shell. Currently, when the module loads, I get the following flash error: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable IMediatorMap is not defined.
Inititally, I thought it was because my module needed a pureMVC Mediator to call the pureMVC StartupCommand to get things "hooked up" and THEN create the RobotLegs' Context. However, that didn't work and I'm still getting the error.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Module Not Importing Packages Imported In Shell?
Jan 23, 2011There is a Shell and a Module. The Shell loads the Module. Module is never run without the Shell. Because there will be more modules, I decided to put common classes to Shell.
1. Compiled Shell with -link-report objShell_Extern.xml
2. Compiled Module with -load-externs obj<ShellProject>_Extern.xml Module size shrank from 90 KB to 2,05 KB.
3. Added 5 filters to Module:
import flash.filters.*;
tf.filters = [new GlowFilter(), new GradientGlowFilter(), new DropShadowFilter(), new BevelFilter(), new BlurFilter() ];
Module size grew to 2,15 KB.
4. Added 5 filters to Shell (same code as above), recompiled it, then recompiled Module.Module size still at 2,15 KB.
5. Tried getDefinitionByName
//import flash.filters.*; commented out
var GlowFilter:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("GlowFilter"));
var GradientGlowFilter:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("GradientGlowFilter"));
[code]....
Error #1065 GlowFilter not initialized, Module size grew to 2,19 KB. Deleting some, but not all filters is decreasing size, so it's not the getDefinitonByName that takes 0,14 KB (2,19 - 2,05 without filters).
1. Do I understand the idea of load externs, or does it work only with specific classes? Why it doesn't work with filters?
2. What did I screw up with getDefinitionByName and is it a new feature because of it's use like in link below?
Java :: View Shell Commands Used By Eclipse "run Configurations"?
Jun 4, 2010Given a "run configuration" in Eclipse, I want to print out the associated shell command that would be used to run it.
For example: Right now, in Eclipse, if I click "play" it will run: mvn assembly:directory -Dmaven.test.skip=true
I don't see that command, I just know that's what the IDE must run, at some point. However, some of the other run configurations are far more complex with long classpaths and virtual machine options and, frankly, sometimes I have no idea what the equivalent shell command would be (particularly when it comes to Flex).
There must be some way to access the shell command that would be associated with a "Run Configuration" in Eclipse/Flex Builder. This information must be available, which leads me to believe someone has written a plugin to display it. Or maybe there's already an option built into Eclipse for accessing this.
So is there a way to, essentially, convert an Eclipse run configuration into a shell command? (for context only: I'm asking because I'm writing a bash script that automates everything I do, during development--from populating the Database all the way to opening Firefox and clearing the cache before running the web app.So every command I run from the IDE needs to exist in the script. Some are tricky to figure out.)

ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTestObject Firing More Than Once
Dec 15, 2011I'm working on a scene where the user can drag sugar, honey and syrup flavour to a cup of coffee and each time they collide, the coffee's happiness is increased by 1. I added a TweenLite so that sending any of the objects to their original positions is much more fluid. The problem is that the hitTestObject is now firing more than once (which makes sense and now happiness is increasing at more than one increment at a time) but how can I make it so happiness is increased just once?
Code:
public function hitsDecaf(e:Event):void{
if (myCounter.myHoney.hitTestObject(myCounter.decafSweetened)){
ifStartTimer = true;
stopDrag();
myCounter.steamHappy.gotoAndPlay(2);

ActionScript 3.0 :: FullscreenEvent Not Firing?
Jan 24, 2008I have the following:A document class, extending from a custom class, extending from MovieClip. In my document class, I assign a handler to the FullScreenEvent like so:
Code:
addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, function(e) { toggle_fullscreen(); });
Also, I've set up a SimpleButton to call that same function, toggle_fullscreen, when clicked.Here's the catch:When I click the button, my app goes fullscreen. When I press Esc, the app goes back to normal but the FullScreenEvent doesn't get fired,so I can't catch it to re-align the elements on my stage.I've also tried to add the event listener to the stage object of my document class, but that doesn't work either.
ActionScript 3.0 :: KEY_UP Not Always Firing?
Sep 20, 2010The problem is that I've done a lot of work in my game, and there's too much code bound to shift and control keys. For example you need to hold shift key to select multiple soldiers or control key to shoot or sometimes pause the game or even call a map, a lot of stuff in GUI depends on those keys as well. Both KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN are added to the stage object. But, time after time, there happens a very annoying thing, KEY_UP event just doesn't fire for shift or control (in most cases it does, but not always). That is, I press shift, start selecting soldiers, then release shift but Flash Player keeps thinking it's still pressed, so I can still select multiple soldiers, which is not good.
I found the exact same problem here: [URL]
ActionScript 3.0 :: Event.ID3 Firing Twice Instead Of Once?
Jan 19, 2010I have some code where an event handler listening to Event.ID3 fires twice for an MP3 file. From searching the web, I found a few others asking a similar question, but I haven't seen any response.
Does anybody know what would cause the ID3 Event to fire twice for a single file? My only guess is that the MP3 file contains two versions of ID3 format.

ActionScript 3.0 :: URLLoader Only Firing At 100%??

Code:

trace("Uploading %" + percent);

It just traces "Uploading %100" every time

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Events Firing Before Listener Is Set
Nov 18, 2009I keep running into problems where I want to add an event listener onto a class instance RIGHT after it's instantiated, like this:
Code:
storiesXML = new XML(XMLdata);
storyBook = new vStories(XML(storiesXML.stories));
storyBook.addEventListener("storyBookLoaded", storyBookLoaded);
. . .
But by the time we arrive at the third line, the "storyBookLoaded" event has very often (inconsistent) already been dispatched from my class instance:
Code:
var evt:Event = new Event("storyBookLoaded", true, false);
dispatchEvent( evt );
...
(Even though quite a lot has happened in the class before that.) To be clear, I don't want to add storyBook as a display child, and even if I did, the addChild() method would have to be called after instantiation of storyBook, so we'd have the same problem. I know I could set a timer in the vStories class to artificially delay the dispatching of the event, but that seems really hack-ish, and would have a real compounding problem if I have to do it too often as everything builds up. How to make sure custom communication events happen after their listeners are set?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Event Not Firing?
Jul 13, 2010I have a little flash app that I have running constantly on my server (I made it an exe). It runs great for a few days, but then eventually it just stops.
Code:
trace("test1");
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000, 1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, getData,false,0,true);
[Code].....
The code above should call the function getData once after 5 seconds have passed. This works 99.99% of the time, but for some reason (usually after a few days of it running) it doesn't call the getData function.
I have verified this through trace statements. When it eventually fails, it traces out test1, test2..... then nothing else. No test3.
I'm assuming I need to add an event listener for the timer object to check if it fails for whatever reason. How do I do this?
