ActionScript 2.0 :: Pre-calculate The Perlin Noise Values And Then Loop Through It In An OnEnterFrame
Mar 9, 2007
i got this perlinnoise called function and movieclip.filter = [displacementMapFilter] inside a onEnterFrame and it's eating me at 100 percent. are there any substitutions for making it much less processor intensive? I'd like to show a picture rippling and i'd like to use perlinNoise. Is there a way i can pre-calculate the perlin noise values and then loop through it in an OnEnterFrame

Lately I have been trying to animate the water surface giving it more natural look by use of Perlin noise. But it seems it is very CPU intensive operation. And if I use it along with other animations on the stage which involve lot of movements then it become really difficult for the machine to render the entire scene.

Is there a way to pre-render a BitmapData.perlinNoise moving animation into a seamless loop of 10-12 frames from which copypixels could be used on the resultant sprite strip to produce fast resuilts?

how to get the Perlin Flag Wave shown at
Senocular[dot]com/flash/source/?entry=761
to go from right to left?
Reversing the gradient of the displacement does not work. It simply reverses the amount of the effect on the left side so the waves are bigger on the left end, but the waves still move from left to right.

affect the position of a sprite using perlin noise? Looking at this flag example:
[URL]
If you imagined a sprite with say just a circle drawn in it positioned on the top right corner of the flag, is there a way to calculate the change in position to keep it in-sync with the flag corner as that animates? What I'm after is the fluid motion but not the distortion.

I'm trying to replicate an smart filter from Photoshop (CS5) in AS3. Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to have a dark gray background (0x323232 to be specific) with some light, fine grained monochromatic noise on it. I've been mucking around with the perlinNoise method but it's 'too much noise'. Too much contrast. Code: bitmapData.perlinNoise(3, 3, 13, Math.random(), true, true, 7, true); Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I am trying to get a loop repeating as background noise I have implemented this within an MC on maintime line.
Code:
myLoop = new Sound;
myLoop.setVolume(80);
myLoop.attachSound("final");
myLoop.start(0 ,99);
var pos:Number;/////user interface below
By me starting loop at 0, playing back 99 shouldnt that loop it endlessly? However it stops after first play.

I have been trying to create a visual noise pattern using bitmapData.noise, and with help from Rothrock and Kglad have created a working version.I checked with a colleague who is expert on the use of these visual patterns, and he suggested that the change speed is too fast: that the dots (pixels) need to change at just under 400 dots per second for an 800 x 600 stage.With beginner skills in AS3, I am unsure if there is any way to change the script to slow the rate of dot change in the bitmapData.noise function?

onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

It was hard to sum the issue so here's what I mean in the title is something like the following:
ActionScript Code:
var rX:RegExp = /^([0-9]+-[a-z]+){3,5}$/i;
trace(rX.test("1-a")); // false

I'm trying to work this out if anyone can help. I have a function:[code]....when I pause the movieclip set at 30fps the sec,min stop but the frame var keeps running in the onEnterFrame loop. Basically I am trying to count frame by frame in a movieclip, and every 30 frames the frame var will reset to zero.

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

i have this code that should get a face (eyes, shape, etc) in motion on Mouse Over. The thing is i dont know how to loop this onMouseOver code so it works like an onEnterFrame handler (while onMouseOver).Another way to put it: as long as the mouse stays over the Mclip i want the code to loop. How can i do this?Here is my code:
Code:

I have this little loop that creates buttons. My aim is to change value of variable 'thevalue' on everytime button is pressed, first button should give value 0, second 1, third 2 and so on.
Code:
for (jo=0; jo<xmlData.firstChild.childNodes.length; jo++) {
value1= xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[jo].attributes.value;
_root.attachMovie("button", jo, (1000-jo), {_x:20, _y:20+(jo*20)});
