ActionScript 2.0 :: Plotting On A Curve - Return The X And Y Of A Point Along That Curve?
May 10, 2007
I have a curveTo an anchor point and a control point.Then I have a function that will return the x and y of a point along that curve if I give it a number as a percentage of the curve (0 to 1).It looks like this, and works perfectly..
Code:
function drawOnCurve( interval:Number, x0,y0,x1,y1,x2,y2)
{
interval = Math.max( Math.min( 1, interval ), 0 );[code]....
x0,y0 are the start point, x1,y1 the control point and x2,y2 the final anchor point.But... I want to give it a _y value instead of a percentage (interval) and it return where on the curve that would intersect.

I want to curve a dynamic text from a straight line to circular curve (using a slider). I have placed the characters of the string in each textfield created at runtime.

I was hoping someone could help me working out some advanced data reformatting. What I'm hoping for is a function where I can input a value along with an array of key positions like so:
function remap(percentage:Number, keypoints:Array) { ...
The array would start with the minimum and end with the maximum point, with nested key points along the way. For example, I would input something like remap(0.25, [0:0,80:50,100:100] ) and the function would 'imagine' a spline curve graph from (0,0)-(100,100) with a key point of (80,50), then return the y value that is 25% along that graph.

I am trying to develop a Quadratic Bezier Curve using the graphics.curveTo() method. Initially when i drag mouse to draw the shape, i use start point and end point of mouse to draw the curve line. I assume control point at any position below or up to the line. An draw the curve using this control point. some what like:-
[Code]...
Now i add a tip on this curve segment. I have x and y position of tip. I want to change the curve segment by dragging tip. but now i don't have the exact control point according to tip position. If i use tip coordinate as control point it reduce the height of curve and now tip does not lie on the curve segment. What i have to do is calculate the exact control point on the basis of tip coordinate. But i failed to get this point.

From the Robert Penner code given in this tutorial: [URL] i was wondering why controlx and controly has to be so complicated. I've tried changing it to just _root._xmouse but it messes up. I don't get this, shouldn't the curve point be the same point as the mouse?

I'm attempting to make a curve drawing tool a bit easier to use.Rather than drawing a basic curve and then clicking on the control point to change it, I would like the user to be able to click on the curve itself to change it, much as you do in the FlashIDE.So, given start and end points, and a point on the curve, how do you determine the control point for use with the MX API?(I googled this, but found mostly info on cubic rather than quadratic curves)

I want the text to scroll from this point changing perspective along with curve. I know how to do it in AI, PS but without doing like 100 pictures of it slowly moving and putting them in flash like an old style cartoon I have no idea how to do this... Basically when someone rolls over the button I want This to come from nothing and scroll up onto the arc and stay till they roll off... I know how to do the simple button... it's designing a movie clip that does this on an arc that i cannot figure out

My question is: How can I invert the curve or arc, while making sure that it still reads the same? up to down.

How can I animate a curve being drawn with as3 drawing api.I am not interested in masking it out or other tricks. I am interested in drawing it whith the api.This would be the equivalent, but only a straight line:
var steps:Number = 30;
var currentStep:Number = 0;
var startPoint:Point = new Point(100,100);

I use Loader class to load a picture,such as example.jpg,and I know if I want to realize fade in effect,I can use following code in Event.ENTER_FRAME:sprite.alpha+=0.05.When I run above code,I can get a fade in effect of example.jpg. But the fade in effect is for the whole example.jpg, now I want to fade in the example.jpg with a special curve,such as number 9,the example.jpg fade in along number 9 curve. I guess it shoud have a mathematical model can realize this special fade in effect,anyone could give me the model of fade in along special curve?

I try to calculate all the points on a curve.
The curve decided by the width(X on the picture) and height(Y on the picture) properties of a movieclip.The distance between each green point on curve is the same.

what I am trying to do is calculate the position of a point along a curve, what I want to do is create a function where i am able to determine where a point intersects the curve when I provide an X value.I have created a simple diagram to illustrate what I am looking for:So assuming I know the x,y of each black dot, and the x of the red dot, how do I calculate it's y value?

posed by some points( an array) with a predefined length( in pixels) from position 0 to X(final) on stage. Now, i modify the points moving on the stage, making new arcs, including the point 0 and x points...So, i need to calculate the length of the new path to make another calcs..

I've created a Flex LineChart that shows high and low tide predictions over time. I'm using the LineSeries with form="curve", which produces a nice sinusoidal wave graph, representing water level over time. The X-axis represents time, and the Y-axis represents water level. The only data points I have to work with are high and low tide values, but I would like to figure out how to determine the y-values of arbitrary x-values along the line.[code]

I need to detect collision between my bezier curve (drawn using curveTo method) and a object, the curve is dyanamic and hence the equation changes every frame. I am looking for a efficient method to detect collision between curve and the object.

For 2 weeks now, i have been trying to work out this issue and still i have had no luck.. i dont even know what im looking for.
See image attached to explain better than words.
My idea is i need to generate a nice curve between graphical points but in a way that produces smooth curves at runtime.

I can't pinpoint or make up a set of calculus to determine the right formula which describes a curve that goes through 3 specific points...I'll try to say it with a more hand-on approach. I have a spaceship which can move vertically,located to the left.The enemies, obviously, arrive from the right. Now, when i click anywhere on the scene,I want a missile/plasma orb/projectile to be shot from the spaceship, but doing more than going in a straight line: imagine 3 points, one at the spaceship, one in front (therefore to the right) of the spaceship (5/10 units in front) and the third at the click location. How do I determine the formula of the curve that goes along these three points?
