I've been playing with carousel code, and was wondering how to change it from circular animation (carousel) to left/right linear (conveyer belt) style animation, how to change the mover code and 't.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);'

i was looking at the circular movement tutorial on this site and am now trying to make it so the object points towards the mouse but only moves around that circular axis. any ideas on how i can do this in as3?
View 9 RepliesWhat I want to do: I have an object on the stage that moves in a circular manner. I want it to move in a less predictable way by assigning some randomness to its movement.
What I can't do: Imagine a clock. Its hand moves at a constant pace. When the hand's initial position is 12 o'clock I would like it to move as long as its hand meets the hour 12 again and communicate it. The full cycle. Then, I want to change the object's x,y and make it keep moving. And so on. How do I tell Flash that my objects has made a full cycle?
I have to calculate dx and dy so player1 has a circular movement.

View 2 RepliesI have builded a 3d carousel following the tutorial and managed to insert it properly in my site. (great great tutroials, really)What i wanted to change though if possible, is that i would like the carousel to spin only when dragged by the mouse. I have searched alot of forums for days but didnt manage to find a script to include or substitute to achieve this.
View 13 Replies[URL]i'm working with some carousel movement and am trying to figure out how to add a level of interactivity beyond simply reacting to the _xmouse position.when pressing prev or next i want to go into a mode where the objects cycle through positions on the ellipse.i was thinking the fuse kit would be a good solution which is what i tried here:[URL]
View 9 RepliesI have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

I wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.
onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

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 RepliesI have a Mogli (Junglebook-like) Character that i got to move with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
I want the character to jump (so for example , he must while moving to the right of the "gamearea" , you must be able to hit a key (say for example the "control" key ) and then the character must jump ( go up ) and as soon as the key is released he must obviously come down.
And also how do one set movement speed on any particular movement.
I'm working on a project and the deadline is near but I'm stuck at making my video presentation work. So here's the problem: it should be played linearly and non-linearly. Because the video files are long, i keep them in 9 seperate swfs. If you don't press any buttons, the presentation runs smoothly, but the problems start when you try to jump forward/backward to another part. Here's my code so far (I don't have much experience with as3, so it's mostly based on tutorials):
Code:
var clips:Array = ["swf/btn1.swf", "swf/btn2.swf", "swf/btn3.swf", "swf/btn4.swf", "swf/btn5.swf", "swf/btn6.swf", "swf/btn7.swf", "swf/btn8.swf", "swf/btn9.swf"];
var index:int = 1;
[Code]....
When I click on a button, it plays the same swf over and over... but i want to keep it in order (such as in the array). It used to work, but I had problems with sound and must've messed something up.
I have a project in flash. The most simple part of the animation renders horribly. I am trying to get the animation of the year 2009 in letters that occupy most of the 500x500px screen to go from left to right. No extra movement. no twisting. nothing special. just sliding left to right. I tried making the file a bitmap, vector art, creating the actual image in flash. Everything comes in with lines through them in some places that come and go away as the image progresses through the screen. It also looks like the image stumbles a little but then keeps going, if you are really lucky, you'll be able to see a few lines running through the letters, but they dissapear right away. The is nothing interfering with the timeline, I have tried setting the fps rate from 12 to 30 to 60 to 120. It gets better but does not eliminate the problem. I tried reducing the image size down to small letter less then 1/5 of the screen, but still the problem persists. I really need the letters to be large on the screen and flow across smoothly. I also tried importing the file as a whole 2009, tried importing numbers seperatly 2, 0, 0, 9 and have them float, i tried making an object in flash that is not a number - but just a rectangle, it has the same problem.I also tried animating it in different ways - creating a starting keyframe and the last keyframe and creating a motion tween between them (the normal regular way). I tried placing a few keyframes in the middle and linking them all. I tried creating keyframes for every frame within the animation, which actually made it run the smoothest.
The file I included has just the 2 moving across the page at 120 fps, with a keyframe in every frame of the animation. I am starting to think that the rendering in not the issue of flash but rather of the lcd screen's refresh rate, video card and ram, as well as other mechanical factors. However the not-so-technical-clients need to be satisfied .

following codes are for making a "circle" move along all four edgesof the screen...but some codes are missing..please add some more codes so that my circle(MC) finish its journey..1..go right..2 go down..3 go left and finally go up...to where it first started...
onClipEvent (load) {
this._x = 10;
this._y = 10;

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make a dummy from a circular menu that reacts (rotate) to mouse movement, I uploaded a fla example, different colors, size, etc, but essentially the same in
function; but for now I'm freezed how to do somethings, I'm not a programer or actionscripter, but I want to learn.Currently using CS3 and AS2, downloading the FLA example may help.
Ok, in the "fla", you will see a circle who rotates versus mouse movement (I would like to make a delay rotation for a smooth feelling when mouse is moving, those like "_x += (_xmouse/5)" but with rotation. Other thing I would like to do,is... that the movement stops progressively a few degrees before the mouse reach de cian angles(a1,a2), and then, the circles doesn't move if the mouse is moving under those angles, like a... an inactive area(U1), and if it could work with instances.
i have a lateral and a backside pic of a car (i have Attached), and i would like to know if it is posible to try to simulate a movement of the car, turning until to see its back side.

I posted a thread last week and I get a code that give me possibility to move circle in the stage and when it got to the end of the stage it turn around and change it's way. but the code was only for X direction but I want to use it in Y direction too, to move the circle diagonal. I put the code down here. me to add Y position guide me how to add.
ActionScript Code:
var circles:Array = new Array();
var quantity:int = 2;

I read the actionscript tutorial on how to make a elastic type animation and I have a question (duh!). Is there a way to resize and move instead of just being able to move the stuff. I want a box that slides to a new area but also gets bigger and I am not very good with math or very great with as. I have also attached the file I am working with.
View 2 Repliesi've applied the following script to a movieclip to change its 'y' coordinate randomly at run time and it works fine but i'm also trying to control the maximum 'top' and maximum bottom 'y' movement for which the value should be: top = 40 and bottom = 400. so it only displays randomly between 40 to 400 'y' coordinate. could you tell me how can i implement this in the following script?
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x -= 4;

I have an mc that moves into position after a button is pressed. I would like a seperate mc start playing after the moving mc stops.how this can be achieved? I have attached a sample .fla file that has the parts that are needed.The file was over the allowed limit so I have uploaded it here:I would like the mc 'red' start playing after the mc 'longBar' stops moving. The mc 'longBar' starts moving after the gray square button is pressed.

I've been trying to look this up but not had any luck so far. I'm trying to make a simple pseudo-3D app, but I'm stuck on how to pull off the movement. If I have an object with x,y,z coordinates, and its movement speed, pitch, and yaw, what formula would I use for movement? So for example, if the object is at 0,0,0, moves 6 units per frame, and has pitch 30 degrees and yaw 15 degrees, what will be its coordinates next frame?
View 1 RepliesI found some code on your site a while ago that allowed me to click a button and make the movie move back and forth using the x position. I wanted to try moving it around using both the x and y position, but im not sure what i am doing. it is working somewhat, but it is not going to a specific spot. i dont understand if it is working right.
