ActionScript 2.0 :: Random X-axis Movement?
Jan 2, 2004I'm trying to make an object to move randomly across x-axis and while it moves back and forth it also scales in width.

View 3 RepliesI'd like a movie clip to randomly move along the x axis whenever the mouse is clicked by using actionscript 3.0.
The movie clip is a city skyline I have in the background.
I can get it to sort of move when a mouse is clicked with this code
var skylineTween:Tween=new Tween(skyline_mc,"x", Regular.easeInOut, Math.random(),85,3,true);
skyline movie clip to move randomly along it's x axis whenever a mouse event happens.I can get it to ease in on a mouse event.The only code I've come across that seems to point me in the right direction is easingvar skyline:Tween=new Tween(skyline_mc,"x", Regular.easeInOut, 100,107,3,true);How do I get it to easeinout again to a random position on the x axis?.
View 2 Replieswell i've read the random movement tutorial but now i only want things to move randomly horizontelly; on the x axis. I'm pretty sure this is possible since most things are with flash so would anyone know what AS would be used? i've treid the one here: [URL] and deleting stuff that i think is not relevant. But i keep getting more and more erros each time i try to fix something...so anyone know what the AS would be? thx
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a MC rotate on it's axis (registration point)...I want it to rotate both clockwise and counter-clockwise at random speeds and random degrees of rotation. For example...CW fast 90 degrees...then CCW slower for 150 degrees...then CW really fast for 270 degrees...etc..etc..
View 9 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is something of a jumping character in a platform game. My problem is that no matter where I place the character, it's jumping to a certain height on the stage, rather than to a height relative to the movie clip's original position. As if I'm telling it to jump to a global y coordinate, when what I really want it to do is move it "n amount" in the y direction. Here's what I have so far, this is the code I placed on the movie clip itself.
//Constants
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
jumpspeed = this._y/1.2;
code]....
I'm working on a website and I have a movieclip that I want to move, but it would be easier to have actionscript control the movement. I need it to slide up along the y-axis for a certain amount of pixels and then stop, preferably even being able to set how long it'll take to go from point a to point b. does anyone know the script for this?
View 10 RepliesI am having trouble getting my preloader to fill from bottom-to-top instead of top-to-bottom. I moved my registration points to the bottom left on the symbol like suggested in a previous thread and it didn't help.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have an object that is being moved along it's x axis a certain amount each time an button is pressed. I want to be able to restrict the movement of that object along it's x axis so that it can not go past a certain point.
View 2 RepliesSo I have a Sprite and if using startDrag(), how do I constrain the movement to x-axis only? that is, move it horizontally? The free x,y movement code sample is here, directly from Adobe's livedocs: [URL]
View 14 Repliesi have 2 buttons and one large image. this image has about 10 product images inside of the clip.here is the idea...i want to click on the move left or move right button, clicking on the button will move the MC containing the Product Images to the left or right.the thing i am not getting is normally when i move stuff on the X-axis i have more than one button and attach the actions to each button. but i only have two buttons now. one for left and one for right. now i am confused.

View 2 RepliesI guys i am trying to make Movie clip movement to infinite loop to x axis.It should move like left to right on loop, without any jurk.i used this code. this is working fine to move left, but i am not getting how should i make it move on looop.
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.masked._x>-100) {
this.masked._x += -10;[code].............
i am a bit lost. i make a prototype function that randomly scales a box when i click on the stage. i got the scaling right, but why does it move around when it scales? here is the swf: scaleEase
here is the code:
[AS]MovieClip.prototype.scaleEaseTo = function(ease)
{

So I got this from the tut on this site and it's works great.I can't figure out though how to make the speed random as well as the movent. I want all my little clips to move at random speeds in adition to direction.

I tried the random motion tutorial with my design, but I would like my design elements to move only up and down along the y-axis.
View 3 Replieshow i display the coordinates of a random triangle in a graph which ranges from -10 to +10 in XY axis with the points like A(2,1) etc with arcs in each corner, in actionscript 2.0
View 1 Repliesi've applied the following script to a movieclip to change its 'y' coordinate randomly at run time and it works fine but i'm also trying to control the maximum 'top' and maximum bottom 'y' movement for which the value should be: top = 40 and bottom = 400. so it only displays randomly between 40 to 400 'y' coordinate. could you tell me how can i implement this in the following script?
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x -= 4;
if (_x<=-2247) {

I've been trying to simply get random movement on a MC on my stage.
Most of the tutorials I come across deliver jittery motion, not smooth eased motion.
Also, I'm trying this script found here: [URL]
The random motion looks great! .... but I can't stop the MC from moving to the top left of my stage. The script isn't setup to restrict the motion within a given area on the stage. I tried modifying it, got nowhere!
I wanted to built an enemy that is able to move on stage randomly in xposition and perhaps able to detect my character within the detectable zone and chase after me.. but currently I just wanted to make the enemy move randomly in x-position for starter.
It is my first time making and enemy with AI, but I'm just wasn't sure where to begin, I have used a fairy easy script to animated the movieclip in the beginning but got stucks whenever it reaches 960 or below 0 of the stage
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,initGames);
function initGames(e:Event):void{
moveEnemy();
}

I have an IK chain of 3 dots. I would like to put random movement on one of the dots 'pt1' so that is randomly bounces around my screen while the other 2 dots follow - something like a snake. However when I put this code on 'pt1' which is a movie clip by the way it simply will not work.
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load){
xDir=1;
yDir=1;[code].........
I have the following clipEvent on a movieclip called square:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xmove = (xpos-this._x)/5;
this._x += xmove;

I am looking at the Kirupa code for random movement (Random movement in Flash MX), and I am trying to figure out if I can limit the movement to the shape of an oval.
I want to do an overhead shot of a bunch of little people swiming in an oval swimming pool.
I'm trying to achieve random motion of my movie clips limited from stage left to stage right. I've read the following tutorials:
[URL]
both are helpful. However, I don't want mouse position to affect anything (as it does in the 'continuous movement' tutorial). The 'random motion' code is pretty close...if I just knew what part of the code to modify to limit motion from left to right.
i want to make a movement. An object has to come from behind an object and go back again.The interval between each time the object appears has to be random.i was trting to maken something with the setTimer() function, and a random. The random gives a var.This var i would use as time for the object appears in combination with the setTimer().i can't come up with a decent code that would work.Where do i need to define the start vars, adn where do i define the random script.
View 4 RepliesMy knowledge of actionscript is basic, at best. I'm trying to make some animations move randomly by following a very helpful tutorial posted on this site [URL].. And everything was going so well until I tried to use my own initiative to limit the width and height of the movement. This is when I realised that I haven't got a clue what I am doing!
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to move a series of dots (mc used as linkage: "Dot") within a frame to random targets, with the movement activated by onRollOver. This part I have working fine. The part I'm having difficulty with is getting the objects to have target coordinates to move randomly, except rounded to the nearest 12 pixels. Here's the relevant code:
Code:
minx = 120;
maxx = 450;
miny = 20;

I did the Flash MX Random Movement tutorial, and it worked fine. But i want the objects that move to be links, so that when the mouse is placed over them, the word for the link pops up, and i want them to be buttons.
