ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Make Organic/fluid Looking Motion
Feb 5, 2006
I've been practicing my actionscript a bit lately, i'm especially interested in motion and AI types of AS.I've covered and experimented with stuff like gravity, screenwrapping, bouncing, easing and springing which is all very cool but all these types of motion move in a straight line.What i want to do is learn to create actionscripted motion that moves mc's around randomly in a fluid, organic manner like a living creature rather than in straight lines.I know this probably involves using sin/cos functions and trig so i experimented a bit with this, i produced some stuff that is no longer straight lined but it moves rather jittery. (i think this kind of stuff is called brownian motion)

I have a 2 buttons and the mouse wheel enabled with zoom functionality. Generally this is the AS:
[code]...
this works fine and dandy, but its not so smooth...is there a way to transition between the zoom sizes to make a fluid motion or maybe with an easing effect.can this be done with actionscript or is this more of a shape tween thing?

I have multiple movieclips on my stage. Im bringing in figures from a xml file which i will used as my movieclip._y positions. So as the figures change in the xml file, my movie clips should hopefully float up and down.
I have assigned them a starting position, bring in the first array of positions and they float there nice. When i bring in their next aray of position they jump back to their first position then float to their second new position?

I need to make a button animate from its normal size to a larger size but in a fluid scaled motion. I'm using a png image I cant seem to get it to scale from small to big when animating, and I have inserted a motion tween.

I have made xml gallery with thumbnails, following kirupa's tutorial [URL]. Everything works perfect, but I need to add some more interesting movement on horizontal scroller of thumbnails. For example, thumbnail starts to move quicklier, then they slow down..etc. How can I make it? With some ease, tween class...?

I want to make a fluid layout for the website I'm working on right now. I know the basic concepts of how to center an object and keep it there, or how to stick a shape to the top or bottom... etc. But if there's a movieclip that I would like it to conserve its position proportionally as the visitor resizes the stage, how can I do that?

I was wondering if we could get some insight as to how an effect similar to the one found here would be achieved?I've seen a lot of this style of animating in Flash. The image creation isn't a concern, it's how to get such fluid animation on the hair/smoke type of effects.

One thing that seems particularly easy to do in the Flash IDE but difficult to do with code is to outline an organic shape. In the IDE you can just use the inkbucket tool to draw a stroke around something. Using nothing but code it seems much trickier. One method I've seen is to add a glow filter to the shape in question and just mess with the strength. But what if i want to only show the outline?What I'd like to do is to collect all of the points that make up the edge of the shape and then just connect the dots. I've actually gotten so far as to collect all of the points with a quick and dirty edge detection script that I wrote. So now I have a Vector of all the points that makeup my shape. How do I connect them in the proper sequence so it actually looks like the original object?[code]

I try to archieve a Tooltip-Design with an organic/liquid behaviour.In the end, it should look something like this:The behaviour should be, that when the mouse/cursor is moving, the Tooltips tail reshapes and followes the new coordinate while the body-part of the tooltip is following with an ease:As you can see in the motion-scibble I've already break down the Shape to its grounds Little Big Planet got a similar effect. Here your can see a part where they use a simple version of this Tail-Feature (which got only 3 Points and a Bezierlin I guess) and here you can see a Video where those Goodie-Bubbles came up and followed the character on a string. I love this Game for GUI-Events like this I guess the best technique would be to create a bitmap and then draw with the Flash-internal Drawing API Bezierlines and fill them. As simple as its to write this setence as hard I find it to realize this.
I've spend some hours playing with Bitmap-Examples and the BezierSegment-Function. I doint get very far. So I would like to know: Does anyone else done this befor? Maybe its not neccesarry to reinvent the wheel if someone else did something like this before and I can take a shortcut to find out how this is made. Speaking about the tail for example, it must have something to do with the fact, that each Point in the tail-part must be in a relative position to its neighbor-Point so they doint allign or even overlap and forming negative spaces like this:

I'm trying to make a circular motion path using Senocular's tutorial here.What I want is a box to move around a circle motion path that is created in AS when the user presses a button. However I'm having trouble decifering all of Sencular's code because there is a lot of advanced stuff that he puts in that I don't want and I'm having trouble getting started.

how to make a wheel spin 360 degrees in a seamless motion?
my purpose is to give realism to a car wheel which will spin in a seamless motion; I�ve tried to to it with tweening but the wheel mc jerks at every rotation; a couple of years ago I saw a very simple code which did exactly this , to make a wheel spin around smoothly;

I'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.

I have an object that gets attached to the stage everytime I click (like a side shooting game). What I want is the object to have a speed in a specific direction. I got it to work by the code-
Code:
if (total_bolt_no>0) {
var bolt_name="bolt"+total_bolt_no;
var bolt_n:Sprite=this.getChildByName(bolt_name) as heroweapon;
[Code].....
The problem that arises is that when I spawn another object the previous one becomes still. I tried using the for loop but everytime I click the angle also changes, thus changing the speed of all attached objects.

I'm work with PS and AI and am a begginer with Flash and currently I'm making this clean cool looking header for a server I play on. This is what it to looks like: [URL]. However I don't know how to make the small squares motion, I want them to "spawn" around the text with alpha slowly growing, not behind the text so it's clean and to move outwards and slowly disappear.

how to make a simple ball follow an oval motion path? Think of a molecule spinning (and looping) around a nucleus.

I have 10 objects in 10 layers to make a single logo. I have created them using flash drawing objects. Now I would like each object to come one by one on stage using motion tween. How can I go further? Do I need to make each object a movie clip before set it motion tween? Or do I need to make a single movie with all 10 objects as combined? Please note that I need each object to come on stage one by one (not a whole logo on once). Please provide help or any example tutorial link.

I have been searching far and wide for a solution on how to offer slow motion and fast motion options for users that upload video to my webstie. There is an implementation on Google Video that has exactly what I am looking for: the option to speed up or slow down the video and continue to play the audio. The screenshot is below. I know that Flowplayer has an option to slow down or speed up video when implemented with Wowza server. However, when using that approach, there is no sound.
I have also seen the option from Enounce called MySpeed that allows video to be slowed or quickened, but this requires a browser plugin which is too much of a barrier for our users. How does Google do it? How can you add an option to a flash player to slow down or speed up video?Here is a screen shot. You can see the option to change the speed of the video to 1.5x. It also has options to go to 0.5x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x, 2.5x, and 3.0x.
