ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A Scroller With Reflection?
Dec 27, 2006
i'm trying to create a "reflection" to scrolling text.i'm using a nice little scroller code that works very well on it's own. i thought just duplicating the movie clip and mirroring it would do the trick, but instead only the "reflection" bit is moving up and down, the rest of the items stay put.
i thought it might be a matter of changing instance names, but then the "reflection" is the same object, just mirrored vertically, so i'm not sure how one should go about doing this...i'm attaching both the FLA and SWF files...
I'm working on a small project and I'd like the player to be able to explore areas outside of just the 800x600 window, AKA scrolling is necessary.
I'm not working in the Flash IDE, I'm just writing actionscript in FlashDevelop.
Anyway, I'm trying to think of a clean way to scroll the map and all associated objects when the player gets near the edge of the screen.
Here's how my app is currently set up:
I've got my Main object, which is the parent app.
Under that, I have a 'DudeHandler' object, which will contain all the players. At the moment it just contains the player, and another test guy in order to see the effects of scrolling.
Then I have the 'Soldier' object, which is an individual player.
In a perfect world, when the player got near the edge of the screen, I'd just move the DudeHandler object, but I guess my main problem is trying to find out the actual screen coordinates of the player, since the x and y vars point to the position relative within the Dudehandler object, if that makes any sense.
I'm trying to create an auto-scroller that will move images horizontally back and forth across a Fullscreen Flash page. I am basing it off Lee's autoscroller video that he has posted here, but trying to adapt it to full screen. I have it scrolling correctly, but I'm having problems setting the parameters for when the end of the images hit the edge of the screen. Something is wrong with my math. I have attached a small .zip file, with everything in it.
I am having the worst time creating a text scroller with CSS. I just wanted a simple text scroller for my site for the news. I noticed that when I use the Font FFF Harmony it does not show up in MAC only on PC.
I have managed to create a mysql database of pictures for our website. Now can get data from the site as text and put into flash.create a scroller from these 300 or so 250x150jpg files and make them appear as though they come from our logo.
I'm trying to skin the Scroller in my application so that it looks like the example mentioned in [URL] This example was done in Flex 3 and images are set in CSS. I tried to create a skin for the component Scroller and saw that it uses VScrollBar and HScrollBar. I tried to put skins for these components. VScrollBar uses separate skins for the track, thumb, decrement/increment buttons. I tried to make some changes in the skin, but they were not reflected at all in the application. I just want to create a customized scroll bar in Flex 4 with custom thumbs.
I've been trying to create an XML based portfolio site, where images are loaded dynamically so the client can update it. I've managed this part ok, however, I want the images to be in a scroll panel so that as the client adds more and more images you can scroll through them.
Kind of like this but instead of scrolling to mouse move, the user would have to click the arrows. And it would be vertical instead of horizontal: [URL]
I've been searching online now to find a tutorial on how to create a game like thisI don't have a lot of experience with action script I've only used flash for animations. I found 1 tutorial that was useful but it only gave code and text with out a .fla or images. If you could tell me what I need to do to accomplish this and where to put code ect
I created a auto scroller which works fine but I would like to change it so that I can reuse it without changing different values each time.The movie consist of a scrollmc and a maskmc (just a rectangle)
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart [code]
my problem is that if you go over the menu text above my scroller it controls the scroller. I wan this areas movement to have no effect on the scroller below. is there a way to script my scroller to set it to this?
I would like to use it as a horizontal scroller for an image gallery. Just to clarify a horizontal dragger and a horizontal stage motion for image viewing.
fscommand("allowscale", "false"); bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false; space = 20;
I can find tons of articles/tutorials on custom scrollers but none of them actually replace the browser scroller. If the browser is made smaller the custom scroller and the browser scroller are there. [URL]...
Hi I am trying to create an image scroller that just scrolls images from point a to point b on load horizontally in an infinite loop. I just used a code snippet to move it horizontally but don't how to get it to stop and at point b and loop again from a.
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart and there is additonal functionality attached to it to affect it's movement which I'm not too worried about although it would be nice)
Code: // set up content_mc info contentRight = _root.content_mc._x;
I am new to actionscript 3 and I wanted to know if anyone could direct me to some websites (Tutorials) which can help me create a gallery like the one in the link but using AS3. Any help would be really appricated, I am not asking for the code just tutorials I can use to create someting very similar to it. [URL]...
I have a picture that I want it to look like its sitting in the water how can I do this I have no clue is there water reflection effects in AS3 Flash?If there is can I have an example?
I have been looking at how to reflect a point in a line, and found this question which seems to do the trick, giving this formula to calculate the reflected point:
Given (x,y) and a line y = ax + c we want the point (x', y') reflected on the line.
Set d:= (x + (y - c)*a)/(1 + a^2) Then x' = 2*d - x and y' = 2*d*a - y + 2c
However there are two problems with this implementation for my needs:
My line is not described in the form y = ax + c (so I'd have to translate it, which is easy to do, but it means the process is slower). What if a is infinity ie. a vertical line?
Is there a simple way to calculate (x', y'), the reflection of point (x, y) in a line, where the line is described by the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Edit:
I've found a formula which does this, but it seems as though it does not work with lines that look like they have equation y = x.
Here it is in actionscript:
public static function reflect(p:Point, l:Line):Point { // (l.sx, l.sy) = start of line
i am using 2 instances of an flv, and as you would expect they arent sync'd.so how do i 'clone' an flv in AS3 so that they are exactly the same?i have seen an example, but it was AS2, i am working with AS3, cs4..[URL]
So I followed the 3D Carousel tutorial, the first part of it and the coding worked fine, but the reflection is not working properly. I used a .PSD file and followed the instructions step by step. I added the action script code in the end, but when I take a look at the preview, the reflection image is displayed just like the original picture. Is the .PSD format a problem?
