I have a gear on stage which rotates using this script.....
[Code]...
//Here is my question. I want to place a second gear on stage and have it rotate counter clock-wise. If I wish to use the same script (this script makes for smother rotation.) What modification do I need to make?
can you tell me if it is possible to detect if an object is rotating anti clockwise or not? at present i get x,y co-ords and use the code below to rotate it which is fine. now i could write an if statement to check if rotation is negative or positive but because rotation can be negative and positive when rotating clockwise and anti clockwise this wouldnt work.

this._rotation = theAngle*360/(2*Math.PI);

is there a way to manipulate the free transform x-wise and y-wise using Actionscript rather than the traditional design approach?

minutes = time.getMinutes()

I am stuck at the mo trying to create an interactive clock. I have got it to do everything, I would like the user to be able to drag and rotate the clocks hands clockwise 360 degrees.. ive got the hands to rotate by themselves what do i need to do?
View 5 RepliesI have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;
function clockHandler(e:Event)

I have the following code which works quite nicely but in Clockwise direction. I would like the movie to rotate in a opposite direction which is Anti-Clock direction. How to resolve the problem?The following is the code:

I am sure this is simple, but cannot remember how it is done. I just need to rotate an item counter clockwise 1/2 a time. The rotate option only accepts integers and when I do a motion tween it goes clockwise.

View 5 RepliesThe counter displays sprites in place of number values. More experienced programmers have given me a clue. Why am I getting error # 1010. Secondly, what am I not seeing that's so obvious? I wish I went in to this with a better foundation in actionscript 3, but I'm reading and doing my best. WHAT I SEE
-dollar sign indicates a variable or array "$numbers"
-import flash.utils.Dictionary; "indicates an associative string"
-Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties
-is the associative string is fooling me? "maybe I set no values, duh"
-are the property of my symbols are set wrong?

I've used .x = and .y = with the position I want and the pane continues to show up in the top left corner instead. What am I doing wrong?
View 2 Repliesi got a circle inside a mc (116x116 px) and i want it to rotate continuous...if i do it in flash itself it works great the circle rotates nice on its own axis(tween) , but if i try it with actionscript the circle gets of its place and makes a big rotation
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this._rotation+=1;
I've been trying to create a new class of vehicle and simulate a somewhat realistic acceleration/velocity relationship and behavior but with no success.
At least, I can't figure out how to do what I want to do.
Which is this:I have a vehicle with a maxVelocity and an initialAcceleration properties, and what I want to find out is how to express the vehicle's acceleration with the two above mentioned variables so that the vehicle stops accelerating when it reaches its maxVelocity (meaning that acceleration reaches 0).
I believe there are some serious maths going on behind this seemingly simple thing, at least too serious for me, and I tried to remember what I learned years ago about arithmetic progressions and stuff like that but to no result other than a headache.
Does someone know how to do it, if it's actually possible. And if not, how you guys do to simulate an acceleration that looks like a car's gear.
I have seen (particularly when a MAC computer boots up, etc)a "gear-like" symbol that gives the appearanceof rotation that some flash programmers use when an imageloads. I have seen this on various flash sites .Where can I get that symbol? I would like to use that instead oftext indicating percent loaded, etc.

View 4 RepliesI have been trying to make a score counter for a small game where the user clicks on a button on the stage, each time the user presses the button the score increments by 10, however I cannot get the score to display on the dynamic text field.

function updateScore():void{
score += 10;
scoreCounter.text = score.toString();

I've been working on my new flash site for a few weeks, along with learning AS3, tackling problems as I encounter them and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me.
All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files I created play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive.
Is it possible to place a PDF onto the stage and add it to the display list? Are there plugins out there that can accomplish this?

I am curious abut two things... 1. Instead of a Bar at the bottom I wanna use a MC that will rotate in the center of the stage... With one half acting as a paddle, and the other side being a game over or life over side...
2. Also with the MC in the middle i want to use the arrays to make a pattern or whatnot *grid* around the middle move clip, so there is only one way to die and that is from the ball MC hittin ghte backside of the middle mc?
I recently stumbled across a piece of javascript that when I converted the best I could still worked within my flash file perfectly. One thing that stood out the most was the var tag:
ActionScript Code:
var apple, pears, orange, cucumber;
instead of

var apple;
var pears;

I want to place my duplicates about one third down from the top and in a small bit from the left. Roughly centre them on stage. My code so far:
for (var i = 1; i <= 6; i++){ duplicateMovieClip ("fish_mc", "fish_mc" + i, i); _root["fish_mc" + i]._x = 500 * Math.random (); _root["fish_mc" + i]._y = 350 * Math.random ();}
if i make say a button in my timeline, convert it to a button. and then remove it from the stage (it is still in the library) in my exeternal .as file how can i then place that movieclip on the stage? i know how to do this within the timeline, but not when it is an external .as file.
View 7 RepliesThe player controls the character with their mouse - it follows their cursor. I'm trying to make an environment continually scroll from the right hand side of the screen to the left - much like in Canabalt (click to see). I've been trying to do this with tweens, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be the most efficient way of doing it... Plus Flash keeps dying on me whenever I try to do it.
I have a couple of background images, and then I have objects in the foreground that the player is going to destroy by mousing the character over them. How do I get Actionscript 3 to place instances of movieclips on the screen at certain points, and make them to scroll from the right of the screen to the left? I have a lot of different movieclips to use, so it'd also be great if they could be removed from the stage once they reach a certain point.
I am just getting back into AS after about 4 years so bear with me. I have a movie that I show and remove as needed on my stage. The movie just shows leader board details and consists of 2 frames of content. I simply want to rotate the frames when the movie is on stage. This is what I have inside my move on frame 1....
stop();
var myLearderDelay:Timer = new Timer(5000);
myLearderDelay.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, showNext);
myLearderDelay.reset();
[Code]....
The third frame is just a catch from so it knows to loop back to frame one. I am wondering if there is a better way to loop these frames and have a delay on each one.
I want a ship or something in the center of the stage and to be able to click and the thing will shoot at the mouse. I know how to get it to shoot at the angle. I just don't know how to get the rotation with the mouse. I can do it with keys but not with the mouse. What I need object rotates pointing to mouse...
View 2 RepliesBeen working on this for days and can't quite get it. Place a standard playing card or something similar on your desk in front of you. Lightly press your finger onto a random point on that card and drag it around your desk. See how it rotates towards the direction you are moving and such? I want to simulate that behavior.
