ActionScript 2.0 :: Calculate The Circle Radians?
Feb 20, 2010i have one problem. i create one circle and i placed more than one points outer of circle (the points are created dynamic).

View 1 RepliesI'm developing a game atm, and I need some help on the mathematics/coding of colliding circles (and their change in x/y speed). What i need to know is how to calculate the direction and speed a circle has after colliding with a static (non-moving) circle. I know how to detect a collision between the two, but I'm not sure about the maths I need to give the circle the right speed and direction after the collision
If i do know how far away the two circle-points (in the middle of each) are to each other (in both x and y coords) would it be easy for me to find the new speed and direction of the large circle in the example above? I know that I somehow should use the angles to pretend the circle hits a flat "wall" (as it only hits one point), and then calculate the new speed/direction. My only problem is that I'm not sure how to decide the angle of this flat "wall" and how x and y speeds should change when colliding with a wall that is angled. Does anyone here have any insight, links or tips on how I can du this?

View 6 RepliesI've got two concentric circles with their centers at (centerX,centerY). The inner circle has a radius of 100 and the outer circle has a radius of 400. If take a point on the circumference of the inner circle, I can draw a line from the center to that point. Let's call that point x1,y1). I now want to continue that radius out to the outer concentric circle and calculate the position of that outer point (x2,y2).
I'm adding a 3px 'dot' just to show where x1, y1 is on the screen. (Subquestion: I can't see it...not sure why.)This is what I'm trying:
var x1:Number = 100;
var y1:Number = 50;
var x2:Number;[code].............
I have a program which must convert degrees to radians every frame and use this value to change a variable. After a while, I notice that the variable becomes way different than what it should be, because of the slight inaccuracy when converting degrees to radians (I multiply to value by pi/180). I was wondering if there is a more accurate way to convert or maybe a way to use Math.cos() and Math.sin() with degrees.
View 4 RepliesI have a simple code snippet as follows:
ActionScript Code:
testangle = Math.tan((-stage.mouseY+marker.y)/(stage.mouseX-marker.x));
trace(testangle);
In the swf I simply moved the mouse around the stationary object marker and read the results. For some reason I'm getting crazy values like -20 and 18. Why on earth is that? I thought radians in flash had a range between -PI and PI.
I have an object that rotates based on the mouse positionand I'm trying to count the degrees as it rotates.for example if i rotate 200 degrees cww the degree measurement is 200if i will rotate another 350 degrees cww the degree measurement will be 550now if i rotate 150 cw the measurement will be 400 now.I have this code: (it counts radians, but it is the same idea)p1 = mouse position
PHP Code:
theX theY =
p1.y - 250;radian = -

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:
ActionScript Code:

What I've done so far is using your mouse you (click & release) you shoot a ball off in that direction using radians. Now what I'd like to happen is when the ball hits the wall it bounces off in it's reflection angle. Eg. if the ball hits the right-hand-side wall travelling at in a radians of -0.65 it should bounce back in the radians of about -2.5
View 3 RepliesI am currently learning some trigonometry tome with my actionscript...In AS I am aware that angles need to be converted from degrees to radians to use certain Math properties, such as Math.sin...etcHere is my code to convert degrees to radians...
ActionScript Code:
var degrees:Number = 90;
var radians:Number = degrees * Math.PI / 180;

I am not sure 1/maht.tan in flash gives the answer in radians or degree.
anyway, how cna i change? I mean, whats the code? (script)
1 last thing,
I wanna count cot(north / south)
does: 1/math.tan(north , south) does it?
I mean, what comma stands for? - + * / ??

I`m working on a app that you can draw lines.....like circles, rectangles... my problem is when a user draw a circle for example....i wanna be able to paint (change color) inside of this circle. I`ve tried working on Shapes with cacheAsBitmap = true and Bitmaps with BitmapData but it doesn`t seens to work.

Is there any way to do this in flash?
I have some following code:

So, can anyone convert these three point curve line to 8 points circle?
I have to draw a circle using action script. The Circle Diameter has to be controlled by a button.
View 0 RepliesTrying to do circle circle collisions via math which I'm really having trouble with. One circle (player) just moves from keyboard. The ball reacts to the player. All the code shown is in my players class and I passed in a reference to the ball.
On my enterframe I have:
Code:
var xmov1 = xSpeed;
var ymov1 = ySpeed;
var xmov2 = ballRef.xSpeed;
var ymov2 = ballRef.ySpeed;
[code]....
Perhaps I'll go with a box2d equivalent instead of trying out my own physics shenanigans.
Here I what i need is : Start drawing first circle and when first circle is on half way, Start second circle.same way second and third circles. and after completing 3 circles, just gotoAndPlay 2nd Frame .
View 3 RepliesI have a simple three ring animation where the three rings fade in and out.On the stage the rings are a perfect circle, in the publish preview they look fine, but once I publish the SWF, all of the sudden the rings are not perfectly round anymore.
They are almost perfect but right at the top and bottom there is just a small portion which has sort of "flattened out"...
I bought a Flash video tutorial online for Animating and the FIRST step is to create a circle with the circle tool, and the guy does it online, and it fills itself in. I repeat his actions exactly and I cannot get the same result at all. I just get a circle.
View 5 RepliesI have two MC's, circular in shape. One of the circles is stationary and you can drag the other. I'm trying to get the moveable circle to be able to move around the circumference of the stationary circle, but not overlap. I'm able to detect when they overlap, not using hittest. I just can't figure out how to code it so that the draggable circle can't be moved over the stationary circle.

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)
