ActionScript 2.0 :: Determine The Distance Between MovieClip
Dec 27, 2011
I am trying to create a scenario where I can have two or more movie clips interact with each other to determine the distance between themselves. I found a script online where it does two movieclips however I need it to do more than two, possibly up to about a dozen. That is the first part. The second part is that I need to be able to select one movieclip and for it to become the "master" and then the other clip determine there distance from the "master". I hope I am explaining this correctly. I have attached the fla file which has the script in it for two movieclips, and then I have modified to add the other clips but not sure of the coding to make it work.

how can I determine the distance between two objects?
I need to make an object (A) to follow one other (B) if this one is close to him.

I am working on the project where everything is based on the distance from the center of the stage. First I made this fla where flash outputs the x and y distance from the center. First problem is that I want to output distance only in positive numbers.

I am posting my code that attaches the movieclips on stage
[Code]...
i was hoping that when the newMc expands, all other mc would keep the same distance between each other as at initialisation. I not able to figure how to do it. maybe even an earlier post or llink where similar query was explained.

In AS3 I am trying to get the distance between 2 3D objects by using distance method.
if(Vector3D.distance(model.position,model2.position) < 100)
{
// do something
[Code]....
>>You can use it directly as a method of the Vector3D class to get the Euclidean distance between two three-dimensional points.
Which point does this method pick? Is it the closest point to the other object ?
I am just thinking of how much time this would take in testing objects with large poly count.

I am building a website for a client in Flash. (horrible idea I know; they insisted)I am a novice in actionscript, and I can't figure out how to keep a bottom nav bar, that is a movieclip, above the bottom of the browser window so that it doesn't disappear.

I am trying to modify this code that is attached to and alpha engine. It is the same code from the tutorial: Calculating Distance
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xdist = Math.round(_root._xmouse - _parent._x);
ydist = Math.round(_root._ymouse - _parent._y);[code]....
What i need to know is whether or not i can modify this to calculate the distance of the mouse from the clip, even if it is contained in another clip that moves around the stage.

I have a movieclip with a dynamic text box inside it that gets filled with content from an external source. It scrolls up contstantly and is masked, this works fine. I would like to know how to determine when the movieclip's bottom is beside/parallel to the mask movieclip's top. Basically, I want to find out when one movieclip is beside another.

I have some movieclips like this one: game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand and inside the rightHand i have a thread_mc like this:
game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc
Ok so here is the thing, i need to access the thread.x and thread.y position related to the stage or substage_mc i donīt really care, but if i do this[code]...

Okay this is always something that's puzzled me. If I create a movieclip, place that clip on the stage, then inside that movieclip, create another movieclip, how does flash determine the coordinates of that second movieclip in relation to the stage. The reason I am asking this, is that I have a large movieclip which contains a number of other smaller movieclips. When a user clicks on one of the smaller movie clips, I need the larger movieclip to move so that the clicked movieclip is now centered on the stage.
I figure that this would be easier to know if I knew how to calculate the distance which the second, smaller movieclip is from the center of the main stage in x and y coordinate values. Am I making any sense? If not I'll try to explain again.

I have a MovieClip with an image in it that is designed to animate and move in a certain direction depending on which way the MC is "facing." To that extent, yes, there is a "front" to the MC.
However, I am at a loss for how to determine which way it is facing. Use of scaleX does not work as if I innately put the MC in my work area before the coding and flip it, scaleX will always be 1. Attempting to throw in a hidden MC within that MC and determining if its X value is greater or less than zero didn't work either, because THAT number will always remain the same.
For some additional info, the MC is designed such that 0,0 is in the BOTTOM left corner, at which point the image within the MC is facing left. Flipping it so 0,0 is in the bottom right makes it face right.
I cannot, in any way, shape or form, use a variable within the MC to say which way it is facing either, as there could be a dozen of this same MC active, only with different instance names, at a time. The only way I could use a variable within the MC is if I could determine which way it was facing anyway, which is exactly what I'm trying to do here.

Can't figure out this. I have 3 points A(305,108),B(311,119) and C(348,172), to find out the distance from B to AC, i use a method found here [URL]..
I then got the distance equals to 131. When I draw AC and B, it appears B is almost on the line (distance <= 1). Am i doing wrong? what does 131 mean?

I am working on a project where I have 5 equal sized panels inside of a MC that I am using the following code on the loading of MC:
onClipEvent (load) {
targetx = 650.0;
delay = 8;
}
[Code]...
What I would like to do is ALSO move the panels with left and right arrows that act independently of navigation buttons. So that if you were on panel 2 you could advance to panel 3 or back to 1. Can I assign AS to the arrows to move the MC a specified distance left or right?

I'm building a touchscreen project that consists of flash and max/msp using Olaf Matthes flashserver as bi-directional control.
how I create a function in flash that will provide me with the distance of a concentric circle, so that as it grows I can use trace() to give me a constant stream of it's x & y coordinates?
I've also implemented a collision detection between two or more circles for the purpose of an overlap function. Trouble being that it's not quite working properly. I want the overlap function for the purpose of morphing sounds between the intersecting parts of the circles.
Here's the code I'm using:

Is there a way to calculate the distance between the origin of a movieClip at, say, (x:500, y:0, z:0) and one at, (x:500, y:0, z:50)?? And lets say the vanishing point is (0,0) and the perspective angle is 50.
I know that the eq for finding the distance between two points in 3D space is:
d = ((x1-x2)^2 +(y1-y2)^2+(z1-z2)^2)^(1/2)
the problem is I dont know x2 (the x value of MC2 (the one set at z = 50)).

At first it seemed simple to find out the distance between two movieclips' x values, I could have just done:
Code:
mc1.x - mc2.x
However, What I'm trying to achieve is a movieclip of a person climbing an un-even surfaced wall, and to do this I first want to make sure the x value of the person is always equal to the edge of the wall.
How would I calculate the exact position of wall's edge where the person is touching it? I've attached an image to show what I mean.

I have a vertical list of movieclips added to the stage all spaced out evenly from top to bottom based of the last movieclips position. I also have defined a center Y point which I would like to find out the percentage of each clip away from that center point. The reason for this number is to scale everything from the center point which is scale 1 then they next item from the center would scale to a percentage from the center point. each clips scaling percentage would be based off of how far they are from the center point in each direction. Keeping in mind the center point is always scale to 1. I also want to make sure my scale never goes below 0.3 so the range has to be between 0.3 and 1 my centerY is also not half the height of the content but a number I decide. AS it the content might be 1000 in height but the center point could be set to 300.

I've scanned through the forums, but can't seem to find an answer to my question. I'm trying to move (tween) a movie clip 800 pixels along the x axis (horizontally) when a every time button is clicked. I don't want to move the movie clip to the 800 "x" pixel mark. Yet, I can't seem to move the clip an additional 800 pixels whenever the button is pressed again - it keeps starting from the original spot. I am new to ActionScript...
My code is below:
btnBottom1.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, playHandler);
function playHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
import fl.transitions.Tween
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var twTeen:Tween = new Tween(mcbottomFlap1, 'x', Elastic.easeOut, mcbottomFlap1.x, +800, 3, true);
}

I'm trying to get the distance between two objects. Problem is that both objects are -45š rotated but one of them moves up and down with stage resize. So the distance gets a random degree. I've attached an image so that it could be simpler to understand my problem.

I'm trying to calculate the distance between two images (A and F - there are other images between A and F) but I can't seem to figure out how to do it the right way. The image A.x is "(stage/2) - (A.width/2)" and image F.x is "E.x - imgSpace" which is a negative value (all the images x is of negative value to image A.x). In my oppinion the calculation is F.x - A.x and although it might be right I still ned the value to be non-negative.

Then how do I make it so all the children added are equal distance apart? I know I can set the X coordinates for each one,but I want it so that the objects can be added in any sequence and then be set to equal distance apart.

Not sure this exist, but worth asking you all: is there a built in method to compute the distance between the current mouse position and a given component? If not, is there a simple way to build a function like this that works for components with generic shapes?

I'm creating a drag based control in Flex / Flash, similar to a film strip, where an individual can swipe horizontally to scroll through the items. To make the control feel a bit more natural I've added some inertia to slow the scrolling once a swipe has taken place. When first loaded up there will be five items in view with 'x' numbers of items to scroll through with the 3rd item centred and selected.
My problem though is that I want, when animating, a swipe gesture to determine whether an item will end up the middle (3rd position) and adjust its movement calculation accordingly so it docks with the 3rd / centre position. Imagine you perform a long swipe, it flys pasts 'x' amount of items, but as it slows to a stop it elegantly stops with an item centred / in the 3rd position. To do this I believe I need to determine the distance to travel just from the speed value (as time is irrelevent to the user experience, i.e. a longer / stronger swipe would justify a longer animation skimming through the items).
At the moment I'm invoking the animation routine (with inertia) in the ENTER_FRAME event when the user generates a MOUSE_UP event. When they do this, I obtain the speed of drag (by monitoring this beforehand) and then decrement this speed value on each call of the ENTER_FRAME event until it reaches an appropriate value to stop the animation.
Unfortunately all the speed calculations I've seen deal with Speed and Time to determine distance, I just need Speed. Admittedly, my knowledge isn't strong in this area so I might be missing the obvious.

I am rotating an object with TweenLite, however instead of a set duration I want the duration to be based upon the distance of rotation where 180 degrees = 3 seconds 90 = 1.5 and so on. Here is my attempt to find the distance of rotation:
var time:Number = Math.abs(Math.atan2(Math.sin(angle-wheelObj.rotation),Math.cos(angle-wheelObj.rotation));
TweenLite.to(wheelObj, time, {shortRotation:{rotation:angle}, ease:Expo.easeOut, onComplete:rotateWheel, onCompleteParams:[target]});
TweenLite.to(carObj, time, {shortRotation:{rotation:angle}, ease:Expo.easeOut});
This just isn't working, time is sometimes huge when the rotation is small and sometimes tiny when it is big, so does anyone know a better way to do this?

i am trying to develop a simple car game, and to do that i have to maintain the distance between the two wheels. for the collision detection i have used coreyoneil class, which i think is excellent. i cant get the distances to go smoothly. and basically i am finding it hard to get the physics to work.
p.s. i tried to upload the files here and got an error each time, anyone know why that is?
