I am having a major problem trying to move an object to another object with a set speed I want object1 to move towards object2 for collision. Right now I control object2 with my keyboard and I want the script to tell object1 to move towards object2.
View 2 RepliesI have some basic experience with actionscript but have hit a wall with this. I am working on a swimming pool simulation and would like a swimmer to do a length of the pool in a fixed time. When a swimmer reaches the end they hit a pad and turn and this repeats. I can to the collision detection fine even have a running time. How can I for example get a length to take 30seconds.

View 1 RepliesI wonder if there is a way in actionscript 2 that makes something happen if an object hit another object with a specific speed. For exemple: If Object 1 hits Object 2 with a speed greater than 10 I want something to happen.
View 5 RepliesIm writing a app that stores run time values in an object and uses them (instead of i.e. an array). The defaults I load in from an XML file. XML itself beeing an object; could i just use the XML object to keep the current values or is this a 'slow' object compared to as3.0 internal objects. Speed is of the essence since it is supposed to become a game. The internal object isnt as fast as normal array access but so far its working fast enough.
Loading in the XML into a new (but totally similar object) seems silly. If it operates on the same prinicple/speed i could rewrite it and really clean up and simplify the code. Noy wanting to try it if its gonna be slower.
I am trying to move a 'Shape' object across the screen. As the object moves, a copy is being left at the initial position. Almost as if only an instance of original object ahs been moved
This is not an issue for moving an image or MXML graphic. Is something wrong in setting to the move object?
The code is as follows
private var arrow:UIComponent;
private function resetAssets():void{
arrow = new UIComponent();

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 2 RepliesI know this is very noob, but I need a simple AS move and loop. Move an object across the stage and once out of site, loop and start over again? It needs to be a slow and endless loop.
View 3 RepliesI have a little utility takes lists of letters, combines them in every possible permutations, and lists out all the combinations that are words. For example, I would feed it in "cde,abc,tbrn" and it would let me know that cat, cab, car, can, dab, eat, ear, and ebb are all valid words.I've tried two different approaches: Load a dictionary text file, and splice it into dict:Array. For each possible letter combination run:
if(dict.indexOf(testWord)!=-1) trace(testWord);
The other option is to convert dict:Array into an dictionary:Object
for (i=0; i<dict.length; i++){dictionary[(dict[i])] = dict[i];}
and then run:
if(dictionary[testWord]) trace(testWord);
Although I've read arrays are faster than objects, testing to see if the word exists in an object, and iterating 10s to 100s of times over a several thousand word dictionary is orders of magnitude faster than checking to see if the word exists in the dict:Array.
I am trying to get an object to track my mouse on press and i am using a tween. However, the nature of the tween is such that the time taken for the object would move would always be constant despite the distance.
I would like to make the object travel at a constant speed regardless of the distance. Is it correct for me to use a tween? If not what should I be using?The code for my tween is as follows.
map_mc.tracker_mc._x = map_mc._xmouse;map_mc.tracker_mc._y = map_mc._ymouse;startx = map_mc.crosshair_mc._x;endx = map_mc.tracker_mc._x;starty = map_mc.crosshair_mc._y;endy = map_mc.tracker_mc._y;
trackTweenx = new Tween(map_mc.crosshair_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, startx, endx, spd, true);trackTweeny = new Tween(map_mc.crosshair_mc, "_y", Regular.easeIn, starty, endy, spd, true);
map_mc.tracker_mc is the mouse cursor that would appear when onPress while the map_mc.crosshair_mc is the object that would track my cursor's movements.
If I create a MovieClip object, and want it to move with some speed, what should I do?I have read a tutorial which was using "xspeed" and "scaleSpeed" to make the small MovieClip moved, but it seemed that this didn't work in my code.such as Code: Select all rectangle.xspeed = Math.random() * 10 - 5; rectangle.yspeed = Math.random() * 10 - 5; rectangle.scaleSpeed = Math.random() * 0.05; and rectangle is an instance of MovieClip.I wonder if that kind of speed properties isn't in as3, or I made some mistakes.
View 1 RepliesHow can I rotate an object using AS and also control the speed it rotates at?
View 4 RepliesI trying to learn and follow some tutorials about classes and stuff like that. If you look att my code I have posted a object called "FallingObject" falls every third second in the speed of "y += 10;" I want my falling object to increase the speed every 20 second. How do I do that?
PHP Code:
var TimerFallingObject:Timer = new Timer(3000);TimerFallingObject.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, OnStartFallingObject);TimerFallingObject.start(); function OnStartFallingObject(e:Event){ var af:Sprite = new FallingObject(); af.x= Math.random()*640; addChild(af);}[code].....
I cannot find how to have an object follow the mouse at a CONSTANT speed. The code I keep on finding is something like this:[code]I don't know if I'm just missing some really simple detail, or some major idea, but I'm pretty sure something as easy as this is possible.
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash 8 and AS2. I have been looking and looking, but I cannot find how to have an object follow the mouse at a Constant speed. The code I keep on finding is something like this:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endX = _root._xmouse;
endY = _root._ymouse;
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
The "/speed" part makes the object move slower the closer it gets.
I use something like this code to detect the speed of the movement of a dragged object
PHP Code:
if (!go) {
this["position_"+i] = this._y;
i++;[code]....
This way I can find in what direction the mouse vertically has moved and at what speed. The problem is that every once in a while the speed will be in the opposite direction. What do people use to detect the direction of the movement of the mouse?
How can I calculate the angle of a 3d object based on the mouse speed?I want to change the rotationZ state based on the mouse position.
View 0 RepliesI'm working on this "game" and I currently have a ball that increases in speed as you hold down the arrow key. What I am now trying to accomplish is I want the ball to ease to a stop when the user let's go of the keyboard key (onKeyUp). Here's the File. <---Link
Here is my code so far:
var speed = 10;
ball_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x += speed += 1;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
[Code] .....
So once you let go of the Keyboard Key I want the ball to slow down to a stop.
and theres probably a simple solution but i dont know. I have an object travel at a constant speed across the stage area from left to right, How do i stop it at the Right side of the stage??

View 6 RepliesSo I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class.

View 5 RepliesI'm making a game with a character and wide backdrop. The charcter is spawned and can then move about the stage, and currently the stage only reveals part of the backdrop. I basically want my character to be able to explore the backdrop. I was thinking that maybe I could do some code that tells the backdrop's x-value to change in the same way as the character's.My charcter's code is all kept in a class file, so I'm also not 100% sure if I should create a new class file to relate to my backdrop.
Also I'll need to stop the character before he walks off the edge of the backdrop, so is there any way I could also say "the character cannot travels past these two x points (the two edges of the backdrop).
I'm trying to get used to the new way of doing things in CS4. Once I've created a MC and rotated it in 3D, how can I move it across the screen w/o rotating it further? I have a MC that rotates over several frames, and once it reaches the last one, I want it to stop rotating, then begin to slide in an X direction (while reducing the alpha). But no matter which tool I use or what I do on the timeline, the object is stuck in place and will only rotate and not move. Even the 2D X and Y settings in the properties panel are grayed out.

I'm trying to create a script that locates the objects location, and moves it smoothly out of location (but not out of stage) when the mouse is close. When the mouse moves away, the object should return to its place. I've really been searching for hours, and I cannot seem to find anything that works.
