i want a character to move on a globe. the movement of the character is shown though not by shifting the positions of the caharcter but by the rotation of the surface of the globe. buttons are used to move leftward and rightward.
Also, there are three layers of the globe to show depth. how would i script it so that the layers of the globe rotate at different speed?
i've uploaded a zipped of a fla file.
I'm working on a game, and I'm a bit stuck on something that I think I'm really close to solving.
I have an actor, which I can move around on a platform (Top-down view)
The platform rotates, and I want the actor to receive the x- and y acceleration, so that it appears to be on top of the platform, and thus rotate together with it. I don't want the actor to rotate 'inside' the platform, because of some other constraints
This one concept has been bugging me for days now and I can't seem to solve it. You see, I'm trying to rotate my enemies along an uneven surface. So far, they follow along it perfectly, using my hitTestPoint collision checks.But I don't know how to rotate the collision points and thus rotate the movieclip along the curve so it remains clipped to the ground like in Fancy Pants Adventure 2 or a tanks game.Here is what it looks like right now
View 3 RepliesI have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.
View 4 RepliesI have an flv file which I am playing through an flv playback component. The flv has a width of 320 pixels, however I wish to dynamically control the width of this flv, therefore I have placed it in a movieclip, and set the width to an arbitrary figure (400 in the example below). All of this works fine.
If I then decide to add a function to spin the Movie clip round 360Deg on the Y access, by the time my Movie Clip has done a full circle it is smaller than it was (now 361 pixels).
If I keep the Movie Clip at the same width as the original flv, there is no problem, and if I reduce the width before the spin, then post spin the Movie Clips width is wider.
Code:
import fl.video.*;
var vid:FLVPlayback;
vid = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source = "Media/Some.flv";

I am creating an animation for a client.I have images of a statue from different angles.I am rotating the images in '3D', similar to a merry-go-round or how the planets circle the sun.I have five separate images, all separated equally by degrees on the circle path (orbit, if you will)
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
y=200;
speed=1;[code].....
Each image is on its own layer on the stage inside the same swf/fla. I'm using the actionscript to animate them. It works, however, I'm having issues with swapping with layers.Basically, imagine that the images are like planets orbiting the sun (the sun would be the center point of the z axis). Right now, the layers are determined by the stacking order I have in the fla file. So, when the first images moves in front of the 'sun' - it should be the top layer, and then, when it circles behind the 'sun' - it should go to the bottom layer. I need the image to be the top layer for 180 degrees, and then the bottom layer (when it goes behind the 'sun') for 180 degrees.
The image also needs to be behind the next images starting to circle the front of the 'sun'. (remember, I'm using the word 'sun' as the center of the z axis).The above code is placed on the instance of the first movie clip which contains the first statue image.Similar code (with different angles and different swapDepths statements) is placed on each instance for the remaining four movie clips. I have 5 total. (see link for swf file)I do need to keep the stacking order somewhat intact, based on the order the statues rotate - but I do need for each one to go to a different lower layer when going behind the 'sun' and then moving up to a higher layer when going in front of the 'sun'.
how to get the camera to move with a character? At the minute he just moves off screen when i press right rather than the camera following him.
View 3 RepliesRight now I have all the animations for each direction in a movieclip within one movieclip.However, when I use the arrow keys to move the walking animations don't playWhen I stop, the appropriate animations play, however. Here is my code:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
facing = 1;

i have made the movie clips for my character walking in 4 different directions but i have no idea how to make it so when the up arrow key is pressed, for instance, the movie clip of my character walking up is played.

I have a big circle with buildings all around the edge. There are two buttons that should control it. One to rotate the circle left, and one to rotate the circle right. I'd like each click of a button to rotate the circle and have it stop on a building, which then would activate an animation of the building.

View 1 RepliesI'm sorry if this is the wrong section. But I'm looking for help with my actionscript coding. I'm fairly new to Flash. I've only scripted some simple websites so far and this is the first time I try to make a flash game. I started yesterday but I'm already having problems with my script.
I have a scene with 2 layers: one with my character and one with the bounds (ground, ceiling and walls).
Inside my character movie clip, I have this: Which is basically a bunch of frames labeled and with the action to stop();. Each one containing another movie clip with the respective animations. So the idea was, when I press "A", jump to "walk left". And it kinda worked, but I have some problems and I'm not really sure how to solve them.

1. Character Movement: as you know the iPhone/iPod touch doesnt have any sort of keypad and so when creating a game that has character movements onscreen buttons need to be used. My question is this; how exactly do i make it so that when the player taps/holds down a button (is the same as mouse clicking it) my character moves.
2. adding a physics style fall: once i have created this movement using on screen buttons i now need to create a jump, so what i need is something so that when the player clicks the "jump" button the sprite moves up a certain amount and then stops moving up and falls down.
I'm doing a simple game where you move the character using the arrow keys and shoot using the Mouse. The character rotates based on the Mouse angle. I have two problems: when I move the character, he moves once, then stops then moves again as normal. My other problem is that when I click over a MovieClip, the bullet goes to the wrong angle.My moving function:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyHandler);
function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

I am designing a character to move right and left but the character is not recognising the floor movieclip and is falling straight threw the floor.I have attached a zip file with the flash document sample and associated Actionscript file.

I want to make my character moves randomly that is character will base on random numbers(for example generate 4 random numbers) and character's favorite(for example fast food, west food, Chinese food) to move. The character will move randomly with 4 direction that is move up, move down, move right and move left(any speed will do). Should i have four function with four movement.
View 1 RepliesI have a MC which is a lady that raises her arms up and down. From the main timeline i want to tell that "ladyMC" (also sitting on the main timeline) to play to and stop on specific frames. I have tried it two different ways but am obviously missing something. The first way i tried just using an if/else and getting the current frame #.
Code:
if(lady._currentframe < 22){

Is there an actionscript I can insert to create the animation/movement of a cube flipping/rotating vertically?
View 4 RepliesRight basically I have a character and a background. The background scrolls as you press left or right on keyboard to create the illusion of movement. I want the character to flip when you change from holding down left to right and vice versa, but when I do the following code it doubles the size of the character once and then it stays. It flips fine but in the transformed fat size.
Here's the code:
var mySpeed:Number = 10;
function keyIsDown(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(evt.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT){
walkingPlane_mc.x+=mySpeed;
greyCharacter_mc.scaleX=-1;

RIGHTNOW, Im doing my game development but I have problem based on my game control.this is my question..
I have two frames. the first frame is on running movement of the character and the second frame is on standing position.This two frames has only one kind of character,but I seperated the two movement in two frames witch are running and standing positon.my problem is how can I do the mouseEvent,if onclick the character will continue on running and if on release the character will do is to standing position.
am pretty new to Kirupa and Flash. I have a little problem, concerning a character hitting a wall. What i have: a char that can jump and move around by the arrow keys. What i need: character shall stop movement if he hits a geometry. But being able to start movement again, besides through the geometry. I'd like to reach this with gskinners CheckForCollision class. Have a look here: [URl] But i didnt manage my code to get it work. So maybe you could leak me some information on how to get this done. Heres my code so far:

edit admits: so far i have a character mc called "player" and one called "level". i would apply the code to the player, and it would be cool to have the possibility to check collision of the player with multiple MCs, not only the level.
sample codes. In those codes they are using a verticalChange variable for the time-based character movement.But I can't figure out how this code works and why we needthose calculations - char.dy*timeDiff + timeDiff*gravity?So here is the code:
Code:
// assume character pulled down by gravity
var verticalChange:Number = char.dy*timeDiff + timeDiff*gravity;

View 5 RepliesI am trying to write a Playbook app using the AIR SDK, I need a surface of some kind that I can load a large image onto, then subsequently place some smaller images on top of and add the whole lot to a ScrollPane so I can pan it around the screen. I have tried by adding the image to a sprite and displaying that in a group in the application but the image does not show up. What is the correct surface kind I should be using here and how should I be loading the images? (currently using "Embed" and loading the image into a BitmapAsset.)
var scroll:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();
scroll.setScrollContent(image);
scroll.update();
scroll.graphics.beginBitmapFill(icon.bitmapData);
scroll.graphics.drawRect(100,100,56,56);
scroll.graphics.endFill();
scroll.update();
This code causes a non-moving icon to be drawn behind the scrollContent, I want to add something on top of the scroll content that moves with it.

How can u get a negative coordinate,are'nt the coordinates suppose to be like texture coordinates, only positive and (0,0) is at the top left corner?How do u measure the pixels limits of the top DisplayObject? How are the coordinates actually "setuped"? Like cartesian but only the upper part?

View 4 RepliesDo you have any recommendation for a free 3D charting library in Flex. To be more precise, I only need to draw surface (for now). Basically, I just need a chart that displays three axes (one should be timeline, and two should be linear axises) and the surface.
From what I have seen so far, two most popular free Flesh 3D libraries are Papervision3D and Away3D. Also, I've found one IBM library - ILOG Elixir that looks really nice, but it's proprietary (although, I haven't seen any surface examples for Elixir neither).
From what I have seen, Papervision3D and Away3D should do much more then 3D charting, but I haven't seen any examples on how to draw surfaces in any of them (except this line chart in 3D: [URL]..So, if anyone has a link to a documentation or some examples that would be great. Also, I'm interested to hear your opinion and recommendations on this topic.
I would love to get some help or advice on how to create an effect in a drawing application. I want to build a drawing application, which is not that difficult. I've found several resources on these type of applications. What I want to do is "merge" 2 examples that I've found. This drawing application makes sense to me and I feel I can modify it to my liking. (sorry in advance I cant post links)
