i want to move a certain movieclip from a point to another , and i know this can easily be done with a few lines of code ...but just a few days ago i ran across some piece of code that you just entered the x and y positions of were you wanted it to go and the speed at which it should go there...i even saw a command were it would slide in to the position ,, slowing down the closer it got...
View 1 RepliesIt's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
How would I move a movieclip to a defined point?
View 4 RepliesI want to know how can i make a point (movieclip) move, i know that if i double click the movieclip e can manually change the 'x' an 'y' values and this way the point will move.
It is possibly to link this with java? And make java pass the x and y values to the animation?
It's the beginning of a Monkey Island / Grisworld The Goblin kind of ultra short and simple game. Actually this is the only think I have to figure out.
Actually it already works if you click the x where it's positioned on the screenshot, but it doesn't work other places. And yes I've tried everything, and I'm just nok smart enough to figure this out.
More precisely it's the alternative path, after the arrow collides with the circle, that's causing me problems - since it's going to find it's way to the point clicked on stage.
I am just learning AS. What I am trying to do is make my movie clip move to a certain point and stop there if it is clicked on. All I really know is that I was told to use on(release).
View 1 RepliesHow do I move the origin point, or zero point, of a MovieClip to the same origin point of the stage without scripting in Adobe Flash CS3?
Example: While I'm trying to move objects within a MovieClip, the origin point is at (stage) 200,-300. This means that when I put objects in a MovieClip, the objects' X,Y coordinates, as displayed in properties, are off by that much.
This point is way off the edge of the stage and I'd like to move it back to the stage's origin point so that my X,Y coordinates are meaningful.
What I have is actionscript which moves a movieclip from one point of the stage to another, using two buttons to trigger it - fwd_btn and rwd_btn. I also use a setInterval function, so that when you press one of the buttons, it pauses a second before moving. Unfortunately, if you press the fwd and rwd buttons in succession rapidly, the animation gets caught in a never-ending loop. Also, note that every time the user clicks a button, if the movieclip is right in the middle of animating across the stage, I wish it to stop and pause, not complete the animation and then pause.

View 1 RepliesBasically what I like to ask is how to move a object from one point to another point based on the point tat you have clicked on a graph. For example, If I click on this coordinate (2,3) on graph, the object (movie clip) will move to that point.
View 3 Repliesif i move the cursor to a point A, it automatically moves by itself to a point B. then if i move the cursor from B to a point C, it bounces away to a point D. i stumbled upon this site while googling around. i'm not a techie, but yeah, i can handle word processors.
View 5 RepliesI'm having trouble with this function I created. It should move the clip to a specific given point, but it's not doing it. here's the code:
Code:
public function moveThis(pointX:Number, pointY:Number) {
if(Math.abs(clip._x - pointX) < 20) {
clip._x = pointX;
[Code]....
This just doesn't work, is there another way to do this? the inputed x and y values (pointX and pointY) are the points I want to move to, and clip is the movie clip that I want to move there. The clip moes across the x distance first, THEN the y distance. I need it to do both at the same time.
Ok -- so I figured out how to tween in CS4, but how the heck to you adjust the tween? If you decide you want it to be a few frames longer or shorter? It wont let you drag the tween point! The only thing I've found that works, is deleting the tween and then making a new one. Which, is absolutely rediculous -- I know there has to be a way to edit it once you make it.
View 6 RepliesCan You with a code move the point where the mouse is placed?
Example. If you have a row of buttons on a frame and when you click one of the buttons you don want the mouse to be on that very same spot because on the next frame are the buttons on the same place. You want the mousearrow to be placed on the top of the frame.
I messed up some the timing in some parts where there needs to be audio, and I don't want to go to the very back of the timeline and make all my frame sequences fit the audio that way. I want to select all the clips from one point on, drag them back until the audio fits, and then go to the next part the audio doest fit and do the same. Unfortunately, I've spent at least 20-30 minutes googling and trying different things in Flash that haven't worked.
How can I select all the clips on the timeline before a certain point so that I can drag them all back a few seconds? (Without having to shift click all my clips, obviously).

View 1 RepliesBasically if I have a sprite for example located at (10,10) I want to move it to say (50,100) and the whole process to take 2 seconds or whatever duration I specify. What is the exact math behind this? I was using a distance based solution to determine speed but was just using a random modifier to control the process. I need something more precise to execute exactly over a set duration.

I am trying to make a little demonstration of how animals hunt .

View 1 RepliesIs it possible with ActionScript to move a MovieClip's registration point?I'm having issues with scaling an object (via actionscript) from different points (left side, right side, centre) and getting round off error.Without moving the registration point, I need to fake the scaling to make it look like it's scaling from the right or centre. (registration point is at the left) I do this by scaling it then using some trig move its _x, _y coordinates depending on it's _rotation. Unfortunately, this is producing some very small roundoff error that propogates slowly but surely, upwards of 1 to 10 or more pixels. As it's a pseudo-ACAD application I can't really have that. I also tried using the localToGlobal and globalToLocal functions with the same results.
However, if I don't need the _x,_y transformations (the registration point is in the correct spot for the particular scale) then the round off error no longer applies.So yeah, I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything for doing this in ActionScript. (mostly tutorials on how to move the registration point by converting to a symbol or free transform tool)
I just want to add/delete a single frame (not a second worth of frames) inside a motion tween.

View 2 RepliesI tried to create simple animation from this Kirupa's tutorial My aim is to make a circle run from left to right and when it is almost to the edge it will move back to the origin point and it will loop only 3 times. So I came up with totally baby script like this:

But the MC is not move back to the original place. Sorry for not even finish the script for stop looping. Only tweak on play loop it make me very confused. My knowledge is quite in entry level but I eager to learn. Could you let me know what is wrong with the script?
I'm trying to have a movie clip with 4 buttons that moves to the four corners of the stage.Depending on which button is clicked, the movie clip goes to that corner.he trouble I'm running into is determining the variable start points. If the end goal is the lower right corner, it needs to be able to move there from the upper left, the lower left and the upper right. So I need to set the starting position as a variable I assume, but can't get it working.
