i'm using the an actionscript for random movement that i found here... [URL] but my problem is that i need the object to flip horizontally depending on the direction it is moving... the object that is moving around is a bug, and i need it to face left if it's moving left or face right if it's moving right.

View 1 Replies[I am using one of the Random Movement Tutorials and as my moving object have a front and a back I wish them to flip horizontally when the change direction.They currently start face left and start moving left, when they start moving right I wish them to flip horizontally.[code]

View 3 RepliesI have a image of burlap @ 500 width x 430 height. I need to tile this as my entire background for my full screen flash site. flip the image horizontally for every other placement horizontally, and then i need it to flip vertically for every other Vertical placement. So the image only looks seamless if i do this. I have a illustration below to help show what i mean.

Is there a possible way to make an object flip (change directions, vertically or horizontally) using actionscript?
View 4 RepliesI'm having a problem changing the direction of a movieclip using hitTestPoint. I have some balls on the screen that only move left, right, up and down. and pending the way they are moving they have to change direction. if they're moving right they have to change to up. left to down, up to right and down to left. I tried the following code for getting a ball moving moving right to change to up. note: movingDir is just a string i use to keep track of how the ball is moving and is defined initially in another class. here is a snippet from the ball class:

I'm trying to set up a script which would force an object to move through the stage until a particular point and than change direction. I wrote something like that:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
moveUp = function () {
this._y -= 1;
if (this._y<-30) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveDown;
}};
moveDown = function () {
this._y += 1;
if (this._y>600) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}};
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}
But it doesn't work. the object moves only one direction and does not change it.
I have a flash programming research assignment using AS3.The assignment is to create a random object that moves in a direction upon testing movie. After 2-3 seconds the object needs to change random directions.

View 1 RepliesI defined a symbol and applied 9-slice guides to it. When I transform the symbol, it transforms fine (the 9-slice works the way I expect) until I flip the symbol horizontally or vertically.
View 1 RepliesI need to flip a Bitmap horizontally. I tried setting its scaleX property to -1.0, and that modified the Bitmap in such a way that I can see only a small portion of it (flipped) on the left side, instead of the whole flipped Bitmap. Its x property remained 0. I tried the same thing using a transformation matrix, with the same results.
View 1 RepliesI tried things like changing _width and _xscale. nothing works. flipping vertically is possible by changing _rotation. but how do i flip the clip horizontally?
View 1 RepliesI understand that to flip a movie clip horizontally, we need to
Code:
MC.scaleX *=-1;
I can drag the MovieClip from left to right and reverse way across Stage with the mouse. So how do I write a function here to illustrate the above?
is it possible to flip a (duplicated) movieclip horizontally or vertically using AS?
I don't mean rotating it 180 degrees, that's something else, I mean a flip comparable to Modify > Transform > Flip Horizontal.
I need to know how to flip a movieclip vertically / horizontally like in
modify - flip horizontal
modify - flip vertical
But in actionscript, and i've tried ._rotation, and it doesnt work properly, it messes it up
I'm trying to move an object along circlular motion guide dynamically using two buttons -- a left button, when pressed down, will move the object counter clockwise, and the right button clockwise.

View 15 RepliesIs there a code that will flip a MovieClip horizontally (e.g mirror image) when the mouse moves over a certain x-coordinate.For example, we'll say the movieclip is called "man" .When the mouse is on the left side of the man, the man faces right. However when the mouse is on the right side of the man, he now faces left. Of more simply, he 'flips over' when the mouse changes sides.Is there an actionscript code to tell the movieclip to do this or do i have to manyally free transform the movieclip?

View 6 Repliesusing trig, when moving an object based on its current rotation, how does one "detect" if the object is currently moving to its own left or right direction? example: right side up: left moves the car to its left, which is left. upside down(180 rotation): left moves it the car to its left, which is right. based on movement alone, how can i say its moving to its own oriented left or its right?

I am using the senocular transform tool for scaling, rotating etc... skew is disabled in the tool. I Have tried many ways to flip the display object horizontally and vertically. he function I am using is given below. It works fine when the display object is not rotated. When it is rotated and then flipped it outputs a skewed inverted display Object.
function flipHorizontal(dsp:DisplayObject):void
{
var matrix:Matrix = dsp.transform.matrix;
matrix.transformPoint(new Point(dsp.width/2,dsp.height/2));

I have a rotation value in degrees(0-360) and a value for magnitude, ie (1-10 pixels per second).
How to apply this information to determine what to add to an objects x and y values to send the object off in a given direction at a given speed ?
I have tried the following code to make a movie clip (car_mc) follow the mouse and to flip horizontally when the mouse changes direction. Some of it works well but the flip is unstable. I have also tried using -1 for both flips.

I am trying to learn 3 things.
1. How do I make him be facing left when I push left and facing right when I push to right?
2. How to I restrict him to a certain area of the stage? I am going to have some buildings on the top and I don't want him to be able to walk past the street level. So basically I don't want him to be able to go off the stage or up some to be determined height.
3. When he walks up and touches a door on my stage, I want to jump to another place in the timeline.
Working on a maze game. When the leftkey is pressed the movieclip (char) should turn 90 degrees to the left.
char.scaleX *= -1;
However, the most important thing is that the character doesnt go through the walls of the maze.And I think thats my problem for implementing the code above.Because it doesnt work properly when i put in here;
if(!mazehit) {
char.y += speed;
char.scaleX *= -1;[code].....
Could you take a look at this site , it's official web site of Coraline animated movie , is there any related article or tutorial to do such navigation technique [URL] If not i will try to explain , layers of movieclips are ordered in z direction when you move your mouse in x & y they move based on depth like semi 3d side walk games
