ActionScript 2.0 :: Calculate An Intercept Course?
Nov 30, 2006
I'm working on a game which will involve space battles, and automated turrets. The turrets are giving me the headache right now. Here's what I got so far.
[URL]
The problem is, that the turrets aim at the center of their target, instead of aiming in front of their target to compensate for their movement. I can't seem to crack the equations needed to get the right rotation, for the turret to fire from. The data the turret has avaible, or that I could easily make avaible to it, are:
- The distance to the target (and it's x and y components)
- The current speed vector (the size and rotation)
- The angle between the heading of the target and the turret's location
- The speed of the turret's shot (fixed speed)

I as this working in AS2 and need to update to AS3...shows that AS3 doesn't like sloppy coding. Here's what I need: I pull data from an XML and that works when I put the data into a dynamic text box. However, I can't seem to get the date of birth into a variable. I have some code that calcs age in years but uses a string literal that I thought I could just replace with a variable from my XML...ain't a workin'. Here's the code I have:

This is really stupid, but I'm absolutely stumped and have forgotten all of the math I used to remember from school. I've been trying to research how to calculate this problem, but it always involves 'solving for x/y' which I have completely forgotten how to do...I need to know how to find where the x intercept position where the h (height) from the bottom is variable. The circle is always centered at 0,0... so there's no need to factor any of that.he closest formula I've tried that calculates the x intercept is sqrt(h) where h is the y distance from the centre of the circle, but it's still not right.

I'm doing a Security Project now. And this project needs to intercept javascript call from Flash and do analysis. I've searched the web for a couple of days but still can't find any solution. Flash can use getURL, externalInterface.call to execute javascript code, and I want to stop the malicious calls from Flash. Thus, I need to intercept these javascript calls.

Say i have a SWF file loaded inside a Flash , which i do not have the source code for, and I want to redirect all the requests inside that SWF to another address(or block them, then read the request parameters and just send new requests with the exact same parameters from inside the container object). Is that possible? And if so, how? Once again, I do not have the source .fla for the files loaded inside the container, and recreating them from scratch is not an option. So this, to me, seems like the easiest way.

within a few banners that I'm realizing I insert a variable, clickTAG, as a step in the url of the landing page after the click.Because the variable changes, I would like to capture this variable externally to externally store how many times you see a banner and how many times you see another.I like using some language asp, php or javascript to extrapolate outside this value?

We have some older Flash and Flex files that someone before me lost the original files on. Now they want to add event tracking when some links inside the SWFs are clicked that use the old navigateToURL type ActionScript. Does anyone know if you can intercept that action with JavaScript so I can add the tracking they want before it redirects the page?

is there any Java library out there that can help intercept video and audio streams being sent through the browser?
So for example, a video starts loading through a flash player using some Flash server, the java application would listen for video/audio stream and capture and write it to video on the disk.

I'm trying to intercept the value that is taken from a DataGrid's GridColumn's itemRenderer and applied to the itemEditor, and vice-versa. I need to be able to format this value. However, my project is complex, so I may be focusing on the wrong idea in what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a Spark DataGrid component (with ID dg) that I am dynamically populating from XML. I create an ArrayCollection from some nodes, and a regular Array from sub-nodes that is added as a property of the ArrayCollection. That ArrayCollection is then used as the dataProvider for the DataGrid.
Here is an example segment of a typical XML node and it's sub-nodes:
<item name="physOrderTable" text="" type="notes">
<cols>
<col id="0" text="Day/Time" />
[Code].....
This is the only method I've been able to use to achieve the desired result. This all works fine, if all I want to do is merely display information. But I need to be able to edit the values in each cell, and apply this back to the dataProvider, as I need to rebuild XML with the updated values later.
I have tried everything I can possibly think of to be able to do this. I built my own itemRenderer, then my own itemEditor, then scrapped them because it felt like I was re-inventing the wheel. But was I? I tried reading through the code for the DataGrid, GridColumn, and related classes, but I couldn't find any reference to the itemEditor beyond it being an IFactory. I have no idea where or how it tells that IFactory to be a text input or whatever it is.
Here is my issue:
When I turn on the DataGrid's editing, and double-click a cell, it takes the entire array of the col dataField for that column's cell, converts that array to a string, and displays the entire string in the edit text box. If I cancel the editing, or save the editing, it sets the string to the .col property. Then the labelFunction tries reading that string as an array, and it crashes. I was able to get the typeof the col dataField and converting it to an array if it's a string, but I shouldn't have to.
I need to have it display just the value of the cell for that particular row and column when the instance of the itemEditor is created. When that value is changed, I need it to apply back to that column's index in the .col array of the dataProvider. So, similarly to how it displays information in the labelFunction, I need to edit the information and send it back.
I've seen lots of custom itemEditors and itemRenderers for GridColumns, but these are hard-coded in the MXML. My grid is almost entirely dynamically created, so that's unfortunately not an option for me, as I won't even know how many columns or rows there will be when the DataGrid is created. I tried using rendererIsEditor, but that only seems to be on the MXML instantiation of the GridColumn, as there's only rendererIsEditable in the ActionScript, and it doesn't seem to work (or I don't know how to use it as intended).

First note: mathematically, I'm not that skilled at all. I played a game on iPhone a while back where you press a point, and an arrow fires from your castle which will always intersect the point you pressed. I wanted to make a similar game, thinking it would be an easy quick make; then I ran into the realization that the mathematics for this is actually beyond my skill level.
I'm assuming they're using a parabola formula or something which would determine the velocity and angle needed when the arrow is launched for the arrow to always intersect the clicked point. I only vaguely remember how parabolas work from school and have no chance of working out any formulas.

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'

I'm basically trying to emulate Photoshop's Vanishing Point tool where you can define the 4 2D points and the 3D plane is calculated from that information, in terms of the rotation of the plane relative to x y and z axes.
So if you have an image like this one:
And you define the points of the four corners, maybe like this:
It would define the 3D plane that the surface must live on relative to the x y and z axes. Researching this has led me to some tutorials on drawTriangles and Homographies, but they all seem to be focused on mapping bitmap data and I can't seem to find anything that defines a 3D plane itself.
