I am using the random motion code found here at Kirupa. [URL]I have the code working fine but I have a question about fixing it to my needs. The way it is now, you change the height and width variables so that the objects don't move off the screen. This works fine, if you are using the whole screen area at:

I'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.

View 4 RepliesI'm creating a simple game and I need to move objects down the y-axis from the top of the screen to the bottom.I want one object specifically to randomly appear and then exit the screen. I'm using a random number generator to test against and call the object to the screen and to move from top to bottom when the random number is greater than 950.The problem is that when the random number generator, generates two numbers in a row over 950 the objects skips back to the top.The animation is nested within the mc. I tried animating it with as3 but it jumps down the screen and doesn't look like a smooth animation.Is their a way that I can track the progress of the mc animation and use an && conditional to only play the animation when it's on, say frame one of the animation?What I want is to say if the movie clip is at frame one(stopped) and the random number is greater than 950 play the clip. If the clip is begin played not at frame one. Don't replay it.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.

tutorial where when you click on a movie clip it moves to a certain location on the page and then zoom in and makes it a certain size. Also i want it to move back to its original location if you click it again.I want the move and zoom to be smooth so the users can see it move across the screen then gradually get bigger.
View 5 RepliesI have a picture on the stage covered by 12 squares (sq1, sq2, sq3.......sq12)
When the movie opens I want the squares to move down, but i want a random sequence ( 3, 9, 2, 12...........8). I already made de function for the movement:

Does anyone can explain, why on the timeline in CS4 I can move only those motion tween which have the same long? Yet, It's without sense.

I am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...
View 1 Repliesanyone know how to move objects slower then other objects in flash cs3?
View 3 Repliesbasically I want my engine to display one out of three objects at random. I thought I had figured it out but apparently not. A familiar error message appears, "A term is undefined and has no properties". I'm sure it refers to the object I'm trying to spawn, however it rejects every object I refer to. Is my approach reasonable or should I scarp what I've got?
Code:
var spawnObject:Array = new Array("Object1", "Object2", "Object3");
var randomNumber:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (spawnObject.length - 1));
if(spawnObject[randomNumber] == "Object1")

I understand that motion tween is a new form of tween in CS 4 however I am unable to move a keyframe within the time line? am I missing something? I would hope I could select the keyframe (diamond shape) and move it around the timeline but apprently Im missing something.. I am not able to do a cut and copy either... is this normal behavior?

It is very frustrating to move the diamond shape of the motion tween or to even delete an unwanted diamond shape on the timeline.

I did the random motion tutorial (mx version) on kirupa, and it isn't working the way I expected. I made a new movie clip that consists of a simple white dot, and put did everything else. When I start the movie the white dots jump around rather than moving smoothly.

View 2 RepliesI need to move a movie clip with action script. I am writing action script to one of the layers and calling my movie clip "bird". I want to move the clip in a wave motion(like a sine wave). I am using the bird._x and bird._y and setting them equal to a variable. But the _y part of it is not moving. The movie clip is only moving from right to left and there is no upward or downward movement.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to make an intro similar to this one used in this site:URL... In other words, I want the logo to appear firstly in the center and then go to the left side of the screen for every screen resolution. How can I make a motion for an object that will always starts from the center of every screen resolution and ends at the left side of the screen for every screen resolution?
View 11 RepliesI started out learning AS3 on my own a while ago without any programming experience whatsoever. I'm still in my diapers, but slowly progressing. Currently I'm working on a short animation with some code involved. Part of the animation is a herd of cows grazing in a pasture. I have a class called Cow which extends MovieClip and on the Cow timeline I have the walk cycle and other cow movements animated. When a cow is walking it slowly moves horizontally, along the x axis. I want the cows, when walking to also randomly move up and down (along the y axis) which would basically look as though the cow is moving further away or moving closer towards us. I'll be resizing each cow, according to its y position to create the effect of perspective (near and far).
What I'm trying to figure out is how to make the cow move either up or down the y axis in a somewhat random way. By "somewhat random" I mean that I don't want the cow to switch directions every second, but rather something like: 5 seconds moving up the y axis, then maybe 8 seconds moving down, then possibly 4 up, then 11 down, etc. It would be super if I could also have a velocity factor involved, meaning that when changing directions - from up to down, or down to up - I prefer that the change is smooth, like as in a ease out and then ease in.

I've cut and pasted the random motion tutorial code into my movie, and for some reason the movie clips that are moving migrate to the bottom right off the movie, off-stage. I've tried setting the registration point of the movie to the upper left, but that didn't help.

can the same techniques like random motion be achieved in swish???

What I want to accomplish is a round motion of a clip lets say a sparkle, but I want to appear that it is floating like driven by the wind.

View 16 RepliesI have to marbles (balls) lets call them m1 and m2, I am trying to have m1 move across the stage and hit m2, then have m1 stop and m2 continue moving off the screen at the same rate as m1.
I am able to get m1 to move over (left to right) and hit m2 and stop using hitTestObject, but I can't figure out how to get m2 to move to the right.
I recently wrote a motion blur effect applied to the entire scene in AS3. I used bitmap data and a blur filter to apply the effect. I am trying to reproduce the same effect in AS2 but it doens't support Bitmaps or Sprites. Does anyone know how I can achieve such an effect using AS2 ? I am basically tying to create trails for a particle system.
View 1 RepliesThe random motion tutorial works just perfectly with one movieclip, but when I try to make a new movie clip and assign the same code to it, it really doesn't duplicate at all. The original movieclip has an instance name of dot so I created a new movieclip with instance name of dottwo.But for some reasob the following code doesn't duplicate the dottwo at all
i = 0;
while (i<25) {
dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+i, i);
