I want to be able to position a series of movieClips along a curve of a cicrcle, well part of it. Basically I need a curved wall.
This is where I am at the moment, ...not very close.
_root.rot = -30
for (var i:Number = 1; i < 6; i++) {
var block = attachMovie("block", "block_" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth())
block._y = 30

I'm trying to draw this hint box and was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to draw a curved line like the one below in flash?
View 4 RepliesI want to 9 scale the line in the shape of 'U' so that i can increase the width in a manner that the rounded corner of the line not got spoiled and I also want to resize (in proportion) it without spoiling it's rounded corner. Right now I have done it in the distinct files but I want to do these both properties in a single file.
View 1 RepliesAny idea on how to curve a line and bend the texture along with it?I tried lineBitmapStyle with curveTo, but that doesn't bend the texture.I was thinking of using a for loop to draw the curve using lineTo, and using a matrix to rotate the lineBitmapStyle...but it isn't working out to well.
View 0 RepliesI need to attach a series of mcs to a curved line. These mcs are attached through actionscript with the attachmovie code, they do not tween, just attach at intervals one after another. Its hard to explain i know. When the user presses a button on the screen the first mc appears at the start of the curve, another press attaches another mc perhaps 10px inwards on the line and so on.

View 4 RepliesAny way to get a curved line to draw from a known point a to a known point b. Point b will always be changing and will be in any position around point a. I can work with an existing line from a movieclip and change it somehow, but right now I can't find any way to accomplish it.
View 2 RepliesHere's the effort simply displayed: http:[url].....it uses curveto to show the arc of a doorswing.I'd like the drawn arc instead to appear/trail along the leading edge of the door _as_ the door swings open. Guide Layers AS2 led me to tweening AS3 class but the beginning and end objects weren't right. Am I in the wrong place? This seemed somewhat straightforward but perhaps I'm searching for the wrong keyword(s.
View 4 RepliesI created a character that can move left or right according to keys pressed by the user. (simple enough)But the most I could do is make it move along a straight line, (change X value)or along inclined lines by defining them as linear functions. (not very effective i guess)My question is, is there a way for me to draw a line and have my character walk across it?Is there something that would allow me to get the Y value of a curved line I drew based on its X value?Obviously this wouldn't be a problem if I could just draw a line from a mathematical equation, but my searches proved that to be rather complicated.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to draw a continuous curved line in flash. There are many methods but none of the ones I have found so far quite fit my requirements. First of all, I want to use the flash graphic api's curveTo() method. I DO NOT want to simulate a curve with hundreds of calls to lineTo() per curved line segment. It is my experience and understanding that line segments are processor heavy. Flash's quadratic bezier curve should take less CPU power. [code]...

View 10 RepliesI'm trying to simulate the coriolis effect and have managed to create a drawing application that lets the user draw on a rotating movie clip. However, I would like to now create an animation that automatically draws a line onto the movie clip which ends up being curved, but I can't figure out how to convert the x, y coordinates of the pixels on the stage to the corresponding x, y values of the movie clip. Here's what I have so far:
[Code]...
To make this easy, lets say I have a movie clip with a diagonal line in it (top left to bottom right).
I want to start my y position at 0, and place it in a loop and increase y by 5 every time. So we start at the top left of the clip, and move to the bottom of the clip.
Now since we have our y value (0, 5, 10, etc.) would you get the x position of the line? such as (x, y):
5, 10
or
42, 15
I want to drag a line from the mouse down anywhere on the screen but my problem is I can only do it from a set position eg.120,120.
Everything else is fine.
Here's my code:
var line:Sprite;
line = new Sprite();
addChild(line);

I am having some trouble drawing a line between two movieclips. One of the movieclips is moved with the arrow keys. The line is created between them, but every time the movieclip moved another line is created. I would like only one line to connect the two movieclips. I am trying to create some sort of "AI." When the line hits a wall, then there isn't a clear line of sight. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveguard);
function moveguard(event)

How can i find line number in events like mouse clicked, key down and key up. And also highlight that line with color. I used TextArea.

I have a setup where a girl is holding a card on there are words on each card and as time goes by they fall to the ground. The problem I am running into is that the cards never go back into the loop of cards, once they are out I am just left with a blank card. How could I have it reset this?

Ive made a movie in MX where so far I have a group of movie clips that are loaded to random locations on the stage.
What Im trying to do now its make it so that when 1 of the movie clips is clicked, and then a 2nd is clicked a line will be draw between them (to connect them).
Here's what i'm working with:
[AS]
for (var i = 0; i<5; i++) {
this.attachMovie("test", "test"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mc:MovieClip = this["test"+i];

I have a curveTo line and want to duplicate movieClips and run them along its path to represent the direction of flow from 1 point to the other.
View 3 RepliesI've got a movieclip in my library called primaryCommMC.I'm loading these 5 times onto the stage and naming them commMC0-4 using the following:[code]Right now they're all obviously loading on top of each other. I want to stack these movieclips on top of each other so the first movieclip will be at y=0 and the following at y=(the height of the proceeding MC + 5 (a little gap)).
View 1 RepliesI have a master MC that's added to the stage via addChild(p2_mc). Inside that p2_mc, I have others MC'S (added to the stage manually, not via addChild). One of them is instanced fond_mc. I want to position that fond_mc in the middle of the stage using that line of code WHEN the stage is resized. Obviously, the following line is into the resize function:
fond_mc.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
I works but returning faulty results because it uses left corner of the mc instead of registration point, which is top and center. I tried all math formula I could think of to no results. Keeps positioning the fond_mc wrongly. I know this is related to registration OR stage measurement. Is there a way to reset stage.stageWidth values INSIDE the resize function?
I am using the following script in a MC to produce an empty movieclip and fill it with evenly spaced movieclips on demand.[code]The last piece of code repeated below should remove one of the attached movieclips when it is created then remove its iteration from the array and loop through all movieclips after it in the array and minus 30 from their y coordinate:[code]When I trace Wine[mc] it produces a list of names of movieclips after it in the array as it should, and the movieclip is removed as it should but the coordinates of the other movieclips remain unchanged.

I have some Headline MovieClips that are been attached on the stage on runtime based on an xml file.
Each Headline is placed one after the other vertically on the stage, and each one of them, when clicked, expands showing the description of the headline, pushing the other headline MovieClips down, according to how much _y is the description occupying.
I did a smilar example with some boxes attached on the stage with a loop, one after the other. Each Box, on RollOver, increases by _yscale to 130% for example and pushes the other Boxes down as:
i
Code:
mport caurina.transitions.Tweener; //using Tweener to tween the _yscale property
num =4;
var boxes:Array = new Array();

View 4 RepliesI'd like to have my movie clips on the stage and run a loop to return their x and y positions, these positions will be stored in an array (startPos:Array) for use later in some other script. I have 7 movieclips on the stage, each with an instance name startobj[a number]
AS2.. Nice all works:
var numberOfElements:Number = 7;
var startPos:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numberOfElements; i++) {
var startObjs = eval("startobj"+[i]);

But when I trace all I get is 0,0,0,0. Is this something to do with in AS3 there is no connection between names and things?
