I want the map's movement to be constrained to the edges of the stage. Or in other words, if you move your mouse from the left edge of the stage to the right, you only just see the right edge map, whereas now, it dissappears off the other side of the stage.
Scrolling Map And this is the code...

I have been trying to figure out a good strategy to perform a bitmap crop using Actionscript3. For example: I have a picture of a car and I want to crop out the car from the image alone and feather the edges so that they do not look jagged.
I am a flash noob and have only been using it for a couple of weeks. I've tried a couple of options and here is the last one that I have come up with it: I place red dots on stage that are draggable so that you can outline the object you want to crop and the dots are the bounds for a gradientFill that is used as the bitmap's mask. (I am using a radial gradient ... so the results are far from what I want, since the car is not an oval).
[Code]...
1) How can I fade just the edges of this custom-shaped fill outlined by the red dots?
2) I want to save the image out to a file once it's cropped. What strategy would be better for doing this using a BitmapFill or a GradientFill as a Mask (If it's possible with both)?
3) I may be using this strategy to crop faces later on.. anyone know of any good face detection APIs for as3? (also edge detection APIs)
Recently a client of mine decides he wanted rounded edges for his page vs. the typical square edges. This was after the initial design and at the point where it is almost complete.I told the client that in order to do this we would have to go to a full Flash web page meaning a full browser Flash page (everything is already flash).Now I told him that we could do this but because it was a new design and as you know that there is much involved in doing something like this i.e. all the paths will have to be changed because it will have to reside inside a mc etc.if there is an actual way to make the stage rounded only for future knowledge.I know I can make a round edge square or rectangle but it still has square edges at outer edge of the stage.
View 5 RepliesI have recently started Learning Actionscript 3.0 out of my own interest. I was trying on making a ball bounce off the edges of the stage using the Actionscript 3.0. But the code not working. The Ball happens to move on X and Y, till it hits the end of the stage, and then it just does not reverse its direction to give the effect of bounce, it gets stuck to the X axis and moves out of the stage. I tried to make changes, but failed.
Code:
function bounceBall(evt:Event):void {
var vx:Number=Math.random()*10+5;
var vy:Number=Math.random()*10+5;
var radius:Number=mcBall.height/2;
var top:Number=0;

This is sort of a multi-layered question- I have a movie clip that I sectioned off in quadrants:The red dot is the player, the stage is the size of one square. My goal is to, when the player moves to either of the 4 edges, the next section of the quadrant comes up (meaning if the player moves to the right edge, the section that borders the right edge will slide on screen, and the old section will slide off screen).I was wondering if there was a way to hitTest if an object is touching any part of the edges? Is the hitTestPoint method something I should look into? What I have so far is an object off screen (black rectangle), that when the player touches the quadrants slide like I want them to (at least I'm trying to make that work).Here is my code. I know some of it's wrong and/or I'm missing something.
if(leftKeyIsDown && player_mc.x > -15)
//-15 is half the size of the temporary player_mc

I've managed to code the following function for an AS2 class. What I'd like to do is to add a "constrained space", like a square, and keep the easing. I've tried to update this function in many possible ways.

{
var easing:Number = 15;

The correct code to constrain movie clips to a container movie clip (or sprite or whatever) in the fashion I was looking for is this:
var picContainer:PicContainer = new PicContainer();
picContainer.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - picContainer.width / 2;
picContainer.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - picContainer.height / 2;
addChild(picContainer);
var totalPics:int = 17;
var pic:Pic = new Pic(); //make an instance just to get its width

I've got a problem with a (seemingly) simple equation that i can't quite figure out.
My problem is as follows:

I have an array of display objects that are simple scattered circles on the stage. My goal is to have them move around randomly within, say, a 5/10 pixel radius/range from their original x and y. Sort of like fireflies, but not as jittery and fast, I'm looking for something real smooth. What I have now is something like this:
Code: Select allfor (var g=0; g < total_circles; g++)
{
circle = new DrawCircle( 3, 0xFFFFFF );
circle.x = random; circle.y = random;
addChild(circle);
jitter = JitterCircle( circle, 10 );
}
So as you can see for each circle I call a class JitterCircle and pass it two values: the actual display object and the range I want my circle to fly around in.
Inside JitterCircle I have this:

I've been trying to simply get random movement on a MC on my stage.
Most of the tutorials I come across deliver jittery motion, not smooth eased motion.
Also, I'm trying this script found here: [URL]
The random motion looks great! .... but I can't stop the MC from moving to the top left of my stage. The script isn't setup to restrict the motion within a given area on the stage. I tried modifying it, got nowhere!
I have a white square(mc) on my stage. In the top left corner of that square is a little arrow. I want that arrow to move along the _y axis when the mouse is moving on the square. So I want the square to move along with the mouse. I like the movement to be easing.
View 5 RepliesI've posted once before in relation to this topic hoping to find an alternative to the coveted MouseX and MouseY. I was attempting to build my first flash site when I ran into this problem with a SWF becoming the child of its new timeline and thus losing its original stage mouse movements. SO hopefully you guys can elaborate, is there an alternative to using the stage as a listener for mouse movement, is finding an alternative be futile, or should one just resort to using JQuery in conjunction if its possible?

View 3 RepliesI'm wanting to make a flash site using a layout similar to the following website:

I would like to point out the features I'm interested in learning how to do:
1) The stage "scrolls" or moves to the left and right as the mouse moves to the edge of the screen accordingly.
2) There is no horizontal scrollbar in the web browser even though the flash stage seems to be very large horizontally.
I have an animation that follows my mouse movement (onMouseMove) on the stage. Currently its loaded higher than the rest of my movieclips and I would like to move it below the others if possible.

I have tried a TON of variations, different levels, etc... BUT all of them end up breaking the whole animation to where it doesn't work. Is there anyway to position it at a lower depth and still maintain its funtionality?

I would like to create something similar to this: and only need a few things to complete it.What is missing is to make the whole flash movie (the white area, including the watches and cursor) move from left to right and right to left depending on the movement of the cursor (round circle) ..

View 5 RepliesI would like to know how to perform a check on the direction of the movement of the mouse on stage like let us say considering the stage.height/2 as the center if the mouse moves up it should trace up and down if it moves down...

I have the following script in both frame 1 and 2 to let a movieclip move from right to left on the stage:

And the clip is indeed moving from right to left on the stage and when it reaches _x -550 it is going back to it's starting position _x 250 only the movement isn't smooth at all. What should I do to make the movement more smooth or should I use a completely different script?

I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

I wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.
onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

I didnt see a place in preferences to keep edges hidden. I have some text that has a dotted line around it. I can hide it with hide edges, but as soon as I select them and let go, the edges come back. maybe their not edges since theyre dotted. maybe its flash telling me somethings not set up correctly? anyone?
