ActionScript 2.0 :: Rotating Selected Movie Clip?

Aug 19, 2008

I created a scene that allows the user to attach multiple instances of several movie clipsI want the user to be able to manually rotate any movie clip they wish via a button. While I understand how to create the button and write the rotation script, I am completely at a loss on how to go about writing the code that would allow the user to select the MC they want to rotate by first clicking it with their mouse and then rotating it with the button.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Rotating Menu And Arrow Movie Clip

Apr 1, 2010

I need with a menu witch has 5 buttons moving along an ellipse. When I click on a button, I need to call an "arrow" movie clip, locate it BETWEEN the button being pressed AND center stage, and make sure it's pointing toward the middle. Much like the picture below: I've spent the whole week trying to make it work but I guess I don't know enough about AS2, or geometry to succeed on my own.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Empty Movie Clip Width?

Aug 3, 2007

I'm trying to load images into a row of images. Each image is a different width. Heres the code so far:

Code:
var xPos:Number = 0;
for (y=0; y<5; y++) {
var container:MovieClip = this.holder.createEmptyMovieClip("picholder"+y,y);
container.loadMovie("mypic.jpg");
container._x = xPos;
xPos += container._width;
}

The problem at the moment is that the container._width property is reading 0 so all the images are loading on top of each other. This is the same with "picholder"+y. If I set the xPos value to say 100 then it works fine. I'm guessing its something to do with the fact that the loadMovie happens after the var container is defined. Whats a way around this?

Also just while I'm posting whats the correct syntax for something like this:container.loadMovie("mypic" + (y) +".jpg");

ActionScript 2.0 :: Set The Width And Height Of A Movie Clip Symbol

Apr 2, 2003

So I'm trying to set the width and height of a movie clip symbol. Initially, on the stage the movie clip is set to w = 400, h = 350. Whenever I load a 400x350 image on the clip (from a button), it looks way too wide. So I tried to fix this by adding setproperties for width and height on the action for the button.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing Movie Clip Symbol Width?

Aug 13, 2010

I searched the forums, but couldn't really find anything that matched my specific needs. I have a movie clip symbol that is your character, I also have a movie clip symbol that is named fuel and it represents the fuel you have left. I tried this in your character:

if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
yspeed -= ypower;
fuel._width -= 50;
}

as a little bit of code. fuel._width -= 50; is what I'm really interested in. yspeed-= ypower; is just my movement, which works. So why doesn't my fuel width change?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Placing Movie Clip At The Angle And Global Position Of A Mouse Click (button) Which Is Constantly Rotating?

Sep 23, 2009

Does anyone know the code for finding the global positioning of  X & Y co-ordinates of a click of a button which is constantly rotating, and then secondly the code for when you click on the button it  displays a movie clip on top of it -(position of x & y when clicked) at the angle that you clicked it  (so underneath the buttons are still rotating so other people can click them where they are)to explain the context, I'm trying to design a mock up of a circular interactive table when someone comes up to it and clicks on one of the buttons that are moving, it reads where the person clicked it and opens up a new box (movie clip) where they clicked it (at the angle) so its not upside down if you are at the topI've included my .fla file which shows the four buttons moving and a little diagramexplaining what I'm trying to do.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Total Max Width And Height Of Movie Clip?

Apr 6, 2011

How do I find the total maximum width and height of a movie clip with respect to every frame of that movie clip?

So for instance if the movie clip was circles of radius 5 registered at their center at various positions where:

frame 1:circle.x=-30
frame 2:circle.x=0
frame 3:circle.x=30

The total maximum width of movie clip would be 30--30+5+5=70.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX]: Dynamically Sizing A Movie Clip To Match Character Width

Apr 12, 2003

For my menu on my page, I want to do things dynamically. For the drop down menu, I want to have a box around the link when moused over, that changes depending on the number of characters that are going to be placed on it.

See how the "tab" around team is smaller than the menu? But GRAPHICS will be larger, and so on.

I'm parsing an XML file to pull in the data for the menu, so I want to handle this portion dynamically as well.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [F5] Change The Property Of A Movie Clip

Apr 11, 2003

I am about to go crazy trying to change the property of a movie clip. Could someone tell me why this doesn't work:

movieheight = _root._level1.project._height
_root._level1.mytext = movieheight

-movieheight is a variable in the movie which has been loaded into level1. -project is a movie clip (I made sure I named it properly). -mytext is a text box in the main timeline of the movie in level1. (I set the variable to mytext for this box too). I have tried to use eval("_root._level1.project.height"), but nothing works - the movie's height never shows up in the text box. Debug > List Variables tells me that movieheight is "undefined".

I use an italian version of flash so I don't know the exact english description but I can translate it as "access to an undefined property extra_property by static type reference flash.display: DisplayObject". I think it's because getChildAt() returns a DisplayObject, not a MyMovieClip.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Access Alpha Property Of A Movie Clip

I can't seem to access the alpha property of a movie clip. I can change it's y x position but not the alpha....

This works great: loader2.lettercontainer.letter_mc1._y=50;

But this doesn't do anything: loader2.lettercontainer.letter_mc1._alpha=50;

The movieclip "letter_mc1" contains a createTextField with one letter in it. I'm completely lost why this isn't working....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Objects Width While Rotating?

Mar 24, 2010

I'm working on putting together a game at the moment which is similar in many ways to mini golf (or crazy golf, depending on where you come from). It is shown from a side-on view and to play the user must select the ball by holding the mouse down over it, then drag the mouse to indicate the direction they wish to fire the ball in. The distance they drag the mouse (this is capped obviously) determines the power of their shot.
 
I am currently using a triangular object with the tip placed at the centre of the ball to show to the user the direction they have chosen. This triangle rotates to face the position of the mouse, and I'm trying to get it to extend/shorten based on the distance from the mouse to the ball. I have code in place (below) that works when the mouse is either to the left or right of the ball, but behaves rather strangely when the mouse is above or below the ball. When the mouse is in either of the latter locations, the triangle extends to be far bigger than the maximum length allowed by the program, yet a trace shows it is still within acceptable limits! I'm almost beginning to think that Flash is switching the 'width' and 'length' attributes around when the object is rotated by either 90 or -90 degrees!
 
The code I am using is:

[Code]....
 
Here's a couple of screenshots of the game as it currently stands too - please don't laugh at the horrible placeholder art: none of it is final haha (also note that I haven't implemented 'gravity' yet, so everything is sort of hovering in mid-air.) The first image shows the code working as I want it to with the triangle at it's max width, the second shows the triangle going 'huge.'

Code as follows:

Code:

thumbHolderR1C1.baseX=Stage.width-(2*thumbWidth)-(2*thumbBorder);

the loadClip actions do not take place until a few seconds after they are called, as the image needs to load first.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Location - Put The Code On The Movie Clip Itself

Mar 19, 2007

Where do you put your code in flash? Do you put it all on the main timeline? Do you put in on the objects ? Where is the best place and why ? I followed a few tutorials where all of the code was on a layer in the main timeline (for arrangement). I kind of liked that but as I advanced in flash I started having problems with specifying the hole path for every movie clip (sometimes 7,8 embeded movieclips). I find it much more easier to just put the code on the movie clip itself. What is your method and why?
