What is a good function to simply move an object to X and Y coordinates?I can find is actionscript that does movement plus other animations, like rotate and scale.I just want to let the user drag an object, but when they release it, that object moves back to certain X and Y coordiantes.
View 1 RepliesI've stored a number of x and y coordinates within a 2D array. I would like to use these coordinates to move MovieClip across the stage. I haven't been able to find anything on this all day...
View 3 RepliesI'm kind of new in flash. the basics are oke, but now i'm trying to make my own website i found out my limits.[url]...
it works fine, but now i try to expand my content, i realise my start wasn't ideal. I started with a'homescreen' and both screens on the side. made with tweens all the animations, the buttons are programmed with a goto(movieframe).so you click, goto the animation, and after it, you go back to a frame with the new screen-content.
for putting new content on my website i have to change screen itself, the screens around it and the animations around it.
I am looking to create a menu similar to the one found here:All I need to know is how do you get the bar on this site the white rectangle) to go to a specific x-axis location on mouse over?

View 1 RepliesI have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. I need to develop a set of x coordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc.
View 2 Repliesfor a menu i use 3 MCs, when you click one of them, the two others MCs will make place for the 'options' of the clicked menu. What i want to do is give a specific _x and _y coordinates for the menus to move at when the other one is clicked (start and arrival, and have a motion tween between them). see what i mean?

View 3 RepliesWe have a client server architecture where a C++ server talks to Flash clients. I'm developing the server and would like to send through tcp an xy coord to simulate a button press where the receiving flash client would find the topmost visible object at that coord and send a mouse event to it such that we could simulate play without a human present. I'm told this is incredibly difficult, but it seems to me that there must be a way to do this. Am I off the mark? Or is there a mechanism in flash to iterate through all objects regardless of parent child relationships to find a visible button at an x, y coord and signal a press event?
View 2 Repliesif AS supports anything similar to hashes in perl (okay, it's been a long time since I've done any coding).If I want to get the x and y coordinates of an object I do it like this:
ActionScript Code:
thumbnails[0].getXY()[0]; // Get X
thumbnails[0].getXY()[1]; // Get Y
and I'd rather it look more like this:
ActionScript Code:
thumbnails[0].getXY(){"x"}; // Get X
thumbnails[0].getXY(){"y"}; // Get Y
I want to find out what object is at 200x300? is there a particular command for this?

View 1 RepliesI have an object that moves when the arrows are pressed but how do i display the coordinates of the object, x and y? I tried

Basically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i and look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.

I have a string of about 5 movieclips that are tweened so that when you click left or right they slide in that direction. When you click on the movieclips themselves I want them to:
on mouse down - move to (y-5)
on mouse-up - move back (y+5)
this all works fine, however after I have clicked on one of the movieclips to make it jump, when I click left or right to slide them all over again they don't slide with the rest of the clips anymore?
I have the coordinates, i just need to know what is there. Is there a simple command that will return this to me?

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to trace the x and y coordinates from within a sprite. i've added a rectangle to the stage:
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 200, 200);
addChild(rect);
rect.x = rect.y = 100;
adding a Mouse_Move event to the rect, i can trace mouseX and mouseY to receive the coordinates of the stage while moving over the rect, but how do i get the local x and y coordinates? so if i mouse over the very top left of the rect sprite, the mouseX and mouseY return 10 as the global coordinates, but how do i make it return 0 and the local coordinates of the sprite?
i assumed localX and localY was what i was looking for, but this doesn't work:
function mouseOverTraceCoords(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(mouseX, mouseY, evt.localX, evt.localY);
}
When tracing the mouseX / mouseY or localX / localY coordinates of a display object, why does x start at 1 while y starts at 0? For example, I've drawn a simple 400 x 400 pixel sprite onto the stage with a MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE event listener that calls a handler function to trace the local coordinates of the mouse. The first, top-left pixel returns {x:1, y:0} and the last, bottom-right pixel returns {x:400, y:399}. Shouldn't both the x and y start and end with the same value? I'm not sure which makes more sense for a the first mouse coordinate (either 0 or 1) but it certainly doesn't make sense that they are different?

I'm still new to AS3, and I was wondering how to make an object point in the direction of another object and move towards it if they are a certain distance from one another. I haven't been able to find out how to do this from the Adobe devnet, so I thought I'd ask here.
View 1 Repliesi've been working on a problem for a while now, which involves targeting the closest movieClip in relation to the x y coords of the mouse, I've attached a nice little acompanying graphic.Each mc added to the stage has it's own sub-class (HotSpots) which uses Pythag to measure distance from mouse. At this stage i can determine the closest value from my Main class but can't figure out how to reference it back to the movieclip... hope this makes sense. Below are the two Classes.My Main Class which attachs the mcs, and monitors mouse movement and traces closest value.[code]
