Say you draw a simple MC (a square for the mathematically challeneged):
Code:
with (path.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", 2)) {
beginFill(0x0000FF, 100);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(100, 0);
lineTo(100, 100);
lineTo(0, 100);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
}
The current focal point is in the top left corner, how could I change the focal point? Is this possible?
i don't know how to set the focal point...
View 1 RepliesWhenever I move things along the Z dimension, it gets blurry, like it "should". Any way to disable that, and keep infinite focus?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to change the registration point of a movie clip after you've made the movie clip?
View 5 RepliesIs there any way, using Flash CS4, to change the vanishing point (ie projectionCenter) of a MovieClip? Or can Flash CS4 only adjust the stage's vanishing point? It seems that when I change it from inside a MovieClip it changes it on a global level, which is not what I want.
I've found I can use AS3 with PerspectiveProjection to change it at runtime, but I can't see the affect in Flash CS4 which makes doing the actual animation incredibly cumbersome.
Is there a way to extend only the bottom part of a dynamic Movieclip? I tried to change the height or to scale my mc but it always makes the change relativity to the center of the Movieclip. I guess I should define a registration point and change the height according to it but i'm not sure of how to do it
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to change the anchor point of an empty MovieClip that was created dynamically.
View 2 RepliesI have a MC in an AS3 animation and I want to increase its height from bottom to top which would mean that the registration point should be bottom of the MC and center of width (horizontal center).
View 2 Repliesi have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )
It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
I have a horizontal scrolling movieclip that scrolls when the mouse is left or right of a certain point of that movieclip. However, it only moves slightly then stops when the cursor goes over it, it doesnt actually scroll normally...

i have 2 intersecting movieclips.
is there a way to hit test point NOT detecting a bottom movieclip if the mouse is over the top movieclip?
Is there any way to dynamically change the Transformation or registration point of a MC with AS3? I'm trying to dynamically create shadows behind clips that skew to follow the sun.

View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip on my stage with various elements in it. When I edit this movie clip all the coordinates for the various elements have really random values because the registration point is not set to the top left corner of the symbol but I can't find any way to change the registration point - nothing I've found online so far works.

because that loader loads images which needs to be zoomed for productional purposes, but it does not zoom the center, it zooms through to reg point.
How do you change the Pivot point for a graphic on MX 2004? It defaults to the middle and I need it on the end of the graphic.

View 3 RepliesI guess if there is a method for change the origin (0,0 point) of a flash document.If you publish a 200x200px flash document as a 400x400px flash document (changing its size by the html height and width attributes) and set its Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale' inside the flash, the stage area will grow the additional 200px (in each dimension).
But instead of add the extra 200px AFTER the original ones flash renders a stage area with x and y ranging from -100 to 300, it is centers the original stage area in the new stage dimensions.I am trying to find a method of change the 0,0 point of the stage in real time, so I could work with a stage with dimensions ranging from 0 to 399 (in both axis) instead of -100 to 300,

View 4 RepliesI have an object which is converted into a symbol. I double click on this object/symbol and it goes into its own seperate timeline. For my coding purposes I would like to know how to change the registration point of the symbol so it moves along or is addjustable on a symbols its own timeline so a can create animations on an objects timeline without screwing up my codeing because objects don't register when their moved away from the registration point the compiler still thinks that the registration point is where it was previously.

I know theres a workaround of wrapping every object in aother sprite and offsetting the x & y positions but I'd much prefer a math solution.

I'm attempting to write a racing game. I've loaded in my image, I brought it to the stage and now, all I want to do is rotate it from its' center and not upper left corner.
The code:
racer.rotation += 5;
rotates from the upper left corner. How do I rotate from the center of the car/sprite? I've tried putting it into a container but I'm unsure on the coordinates of the container because I tried to set the x,y coordinates to half the sprite image but y'know, it's not doing what I expect it to.
ActionScript Code:
if (arrowLeft) {
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();

I will never sneer at another racing game! I didn't think it would be this hard to do a simple rotate of an image!
