I am currently working on a quite big map and trying to provide the shortest path service between two points. From what I saw, this is possible with a small map since it has to calculate ALL possible paths and then choose the shortest one (Am I right?).

View 5 RepliesWhat do you guys think of this:[URL]..Link: Link This is a pathfinder script that I'm still working on. Just click a light square to watch the circle drive around the dark squares till it reaches the destination. Key down to adjust squares.
It will sometimes appear to be in an infinite loop, but it should eventually escape (note eventually). It also occasionally freezes in place. I have yet to figure out what causes this and therefore cannot fix it yet. Other than that it works quite well.
How could I find the shortest distance between two angles? Like say the distance between 359 degrees and 1 degree is 2 not 358. Any ideas?

View 5 RepliesI want to put shortest int in shortest:
shortest = 500;
for(i = 1; i <= _global.var_process_count; i++) {
if(_root["process" + i].process_time_original.text < shortest)
shortest = _root["process" + i].process_time_original.text ;
}
What's wrong with above lines of code?
I have this object in Flex 4
[Code]....
It is a circle divided into 5 equal parts each 72 degrees. So each state you can see is increases the rotation by 72 degrees. I have a transition for the rotation when the state changes like so:
[Code]....
Being that this is a circle you can actually rotate CW or CCW to get to the right degree for the state. Usually the rotation-transition uses whichever is lower. For example to get from Classic to Centro (0 to 72) it goes CW. But this is not always the case. To go from Lace to Lido (144 to 216) it goes CCW. This is not desired sense it would make a much better transition to go CW because it requires less spinning of the circle to get to the desired degree.
In Actionscript, I'm trying to work out the best way to create the shortest route between two point on the map above. I have all the distances.
Algorithms like A* I dont think are relevant as it is near impossible to work out the heuristic distance.
I thought I could create a big array of all the nodes with the distances to any connected nodes and just iterate through until Ive found the the shortest distance, but this I know is very inefficient.
I've been trying to rotate an arrow but I can't get it choose the shortest direction. How would I do that?

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
Here's what i'm trying to do: Hide a MC depending on the path variable as:

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

I am displaying some flash content on a fairly standard page. This works really well when the flash, xml file and html page are sitting together in the same directory.url...However, I want to display that same content in another page which is deeper inside the site but outside of the directory that houses the .swf and .xml files as well as the assets.[code]The js files are loading properly but the flash content is not, so I could use a little help getting that sorted out.

View 1 RepliesI am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.

I have created a component (swc) that reads some Xml and stores away some values. Just trying the component out works very good and the XML is read correctly.The problem is that the XML-file read have the same name as the .swf that the component is loaded from. This wouldnt be a problem either if i stoped here and was using root.loaderInfo.loaderURL. And i realy need to get that name to know what XML to load and where its placed.The problem is that the .swf also is loaded inside another main-swf. The structurce look something like this [code]When using root.loaderInfo.loaderURL now i get the url to the mainSwf instead and cant find any way to get the name or path of Child1.swfChild1.swf and Child1.xml will be in subfolder to the mainSwf folder, the folder will have the same name (Child1)Soo my question is, is there any way of getting the Child1 path from the component? I should also say that the name Child1 can be anything since the folder and filestructure is generated from another application.
