i'm trying to recreate gravity. this is what i have so far:
[AS]G = 0.005;
m1 = ball1._width;
m2 = ball2._width;
scrnW = 550
scrnH = 400

the script looks alright to me but when run, the effect is wrong...

View 2 RepliesI want to load in external swfs into an mc on the root called 'holder'.In As2, I would just do loadMovie("whatever.swf", this.holder); And if I loaded another swf into that same holder it would replace the contents with the new swf.
But now, I'm trying As3 and doing..var i =new Loader();i.load(new URLRequest("contact.swf"));this.holder.addChild(i)
When I repeat this code, for another external swf, I want it to replace the first one, but it appears to not be doing that. I fear that this addChild, is simply adding more mc's within my main holder mc.
So I don't know how to match the functionality that I liked from As2.
I'm trying to recreate the sky with a rotating clip in the shape of an arc. I've tried the built-in timer that changes the rotation, I've tried the TweenMax class, and I've tried hand-building the animation with a motion tween. In all cases, the movement is jerky--smooth for about five frames, then a sudden jerk of motion. What can I do to make this animation smoother? Clip is about 2400px wide, 400px high, with a reg point about 3000px away that it rotates around.
View 3 RepliesI've been looking all over with no luck for a way to code the pen tool in AS3. What i want is, in the flash application, the pen tool as it functions in Flash itself. So, for example, i push Ctrl + Enter and test my program, then can use the mouse to click and create a point, click again and it connects with a straight line, or click and drag to create a curve. I don't need anything like hinges where you can go back and edit curves, i just want the click/click drag line functionality.

View 10 RepliesI worked on a new Flash project, but I cant seem to find a good solution for how I want my objects to collide. In my project I have: a Ball(moving object) and a Floor(not moving).
The ball is positioned over the floor and drops onto the floor through the gravity that is applied with the code.

Is there a way to have a global gravity in flash AS3. In which you could choose what objects you want to be affected by it? Is there a way to have a block of code that separates moving from still objects and will not let any objects collide(not overlap)?

View 3 RepliesIm working on a project where i have 5 buttons on one side and a blank window in the middle of the screen. when a button is clicked an external swf is loaded with movieclips of text based on each catergory. 2 of these movieclips of text are long and a request for an index at the top of the page has been made. everything in the movie is working so far except the page index. i wanted to create this similiar to the way an html index works with page anchors.
i have made all the letters and converted them to movieclips. ive added event listeners to those buttons so that the main window's y position is moved when they are clicked. the main swf window will jump down to the desired position but the scroll button remains at the top and theres no way to scoll back up to the top of the page.

View 3 RepliesI have been trying to recreate the rollOver swapdepth effect (above).

referring to Pom's tutorial on gravity (up and down), I was wondering how to alter the code to make it so that the object moved and bounced along the x-axis. I tried this:

I am using Box2d 2.02, and am having trouble with setting linear velocity of a body in 0 gravity. When I trace GetLinearVelocity() when left is pressed, it reports the correct vector (-20.0, 0.0) but the body does not move. It is a dynamic body.
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT)) {
if (mover.IsSleeping()){
mover.WakeUp();
}
mover.SetLinearVelocity(new b2Vec2( -20.0, 0.0));
}
So I'm using PixelFume's Active Blur class to recreate the effect, though somewhat simpler so I rewrote some of it and it seem screwed up to me. I have it on the first frame of an .swf that gets loaded into and container clip in the main .swf via loadMovie. It does what I want it to do, but everytime you load the page it comes up slower and slower. If you click the button to load it like 15 times, it's pretty much 1fps.
The code is as below:
Code:
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Point;
var bottom = bg.getDepth();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("bgBlur", bottom+1);

i want to send an object and its properties (that have been manipulated) to my server. I then plan to re-create this object and automatically create a screenshot of the object (i do not want to do this client side). i'm planning to use POST and some php for each property as its changed, and then load this data into a server side as3 script. i would like this server side script to take the object in automatically, and create an image server side - is there anyway to doing all this while not prompting for any input (from what i've learnt, flash needs a prompt before saving a file)? i haven't used flex, could it be used here?

View 1 RepliesI've recently created a Super Text Transition class - its pretty much perfect, except theres on thing that niggles me.
It works by splitting up dynamic textfields into many movie clips, one for each letter - but I cant work out how to position the newly created letter movie clips (each containing a dynamic textfield with only one letter in them) in the right way so it looks exactly like the original text would in the textfield.
Im assuming Im not taking into account certain variables - between textWidth/textHeight, _width and _height of the letter movie clips, leading, letterSpacing blablabla. know the variables to use to recreate a text field with lots of letter mcs?

View 4 Repliesi have a game where fish fall out the sky and a penguin on ice skates has to catch them before the fish get to heavy for the ice, the ice cracks and the ice skating penguin falls into the water and freezes. I have all the code but cant work out how to set the random location along the Y axis for the fish to fall. I have a gravity script but cant work out how to include the random position for the fish. There are 30 fish and i want to be able to have one fish fall wait a half a second and have another fall and so on....until all 30 have been dropped...
My gravity script is this:
ymov = 0;
grav = 2;
_root.onEnterFrame =function() {
ymov += grav;

Anyone know how i could set a random location in this or something similar?
