View 2 RepliesI followed the 3D Carousel tutorial from gotoandLearn http:[url].... I was able to put in my images and change the features to how I want, but for the life of me can't figure out how to make the thing auto rotate.
var tw:GTween = new GTween(container, 0.8, {rotationY:targetRotation}, ease:Exponential.easeOut});
tw.autoRotation = true;
But when I added it it just gave me errors and the carousel would not load.
The Rotations3DUtility is writed by myselft to make any DisplayObject rotate by its horizontal center, but the effect isn't perfect.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a MC rotate on it's axis (registration point)...I want it to rotate both clockwise and counter-clockwise at random speeds and random degrees of rotation. For example...CW fast 90 degrees...then CCW slower for 150 degrees...then CW really fast for 270 degrees...etc..etc..

View 1 Repliesi'm using a Rails backend with my App and getting a AsyncToken returned from it (a DB-Call to be specific)As far as i know the AsyncToken returns a result event when done loading all data from the request, this way its possible to make sure all data was loaded before executing some function which uses the data. i tried the following implementation to get the AsyncToken converted into an Array and plotting its objects as strings to the user:
var dataSrv:services.databaseservice.DatabaseService = new services.databaseservice.DatabaseService;
dataSrv.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, dbListener);
//DBOPERATION returns my AsyncToken
var listData:AsyncToken = dataSrv.DBOPERATION;
But i keep getting a "null object-pointer" error!
using action script how can I set the registration point of an object. Also what import would I use.
View 1 RepliesI have an object which is converted into a symbol. I double click on this object/symbol and it goes into its own seperate timeline. For my coding purposes I would like to know how to change the registration point of the symbol so it moves along or is addjustable on a symbols its own timeline so a can create animations on an objects timeline without screwing up my codeing because objects don't register when their moved away from the registration point the compiler still thinks that the registration point is where it was previously.
View 8 RepliesI'm a relative noobie struggling to understand object registration points / center points. For example, in this image of an empty movie clip from an XML gallery I'm customizing for my site, there is a circle with a cross and an empty circle.
Can someone point me to a thread or article that explains object registration points, how they relate to each other and how (and why) to move them (or not)?
I want to rotate the movieclip about a point that is not on the registration point.
The current registration point is at the top left and I want to rotate it about the coordinates: _y = -178, _x = -24.5
This is probably really trivial, but how do I set an object's ransformation/registration point in AS3, not the IDE?

View 1 Repliesim trying to make my plane movieclip follow the mouse... which i have achieved although i want to give it a regestration point so that when the mouse turns or goes left, right, back etc, the front of the plane goes with it so it looks realistic aposed to a plane image moving left and right.
View 1 RepliesWhen you create shape on stage and right click and chose create object you can chose Registration point for the object you chose what corner will be used as center of coordinates for this object. Now onice you create object is there way to change this registration point e.g. i created it in center now i want to to be in upper left corner?
View 5 RepliesI have an object that points in the direction of another object (i.e. it rotates to the direction that the second objects x and y coordinates are at) below is the code I use.
var distx = target.x - x;
var disty = target.y - y;
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(disty, distx);
[code]....
as you can see. Not only does it rotate towards the target object, but it also moves towards it too. When I play the movie, the object instantly points to the targeted object and moves towards it. I would like for it to slowly turn towards the object instead of instantly turning towards it.
I am moving movieclips around my stage in relation to the users mouse location. All of my movieclips have the registration point placed in the default top left corner. As an object moves off the stage to the left it suddenly disappears when the registration point reaches the edge of the stage. I would like to see the whole object move off the screen instead of just disappearing when the left corner reaches the edge. I would move the registration point to the right side but I would like the movieclip to be able to move off all sides of the stage (top, bottom, left, right)

View 2 RepliesI would like to fade in and out and object with the colorTransform-method. When I apply the colorTransform to my object it does fade out the thing but not fade in. At first I set the alpha of the bitmapData to 0 (for the fade in-effect). After applying the colorTransform it does nothing. No fade in. Otherwise when I set the alpha of the bitmapData to 100 and let it fade out it works.

I am working on a car game in flash where you see the car from a top view and you go straight ahead all the time on an endless road.
The game so far is built in the way that I have a image of a car that's the main car and the road is a image itself that keep switching with another image of the road and when you play it it looks like the car is moving very fast. But actually the car is not moving at all except for when you move it yourself by going right or left.
When turning right I do not want the car to simply move to the right, but I also want it to rotate a bit so it looks more realistic when turning.[code]...
Rotate an object using AS and also control the speed it rotats at?
View 4 RepliesI have a project I'm working on that requires a box to be rotated aropund an offset axis by dragging a button in one corner of the box. Most of the scripting for this works great, but there are a few things I can't work out. The box is limited to an up and down position (0 degrees and 90 degrees respectively). This is what I want to happen � when the user drags the box from the up position and releases somewhere between 10 and 80 degrees, the box continues down to the end down position on its own. If it begins on the down position and is released midway, it continues up. For some mathematical reason, my version likes to orient around 50 degrees.
View 4 RepliesI've read some previous post by others, and have got the concept of how to make it happen just need to ask a few specific questions, one is the action script for changing the movie to the cursor and telling it how to move as the mouse cursor, next question is how do i get to act as the mouse pointer for the whole page, for instance I'm using frames I've got my buttons in the left frame, with a banner it the nested top and then the pages of course load in the main frame, how when creating the mouse cursor do i get it to work all over the page? I wasn't sure if using the normal method if it acts through out the whole site or just over a flash movie.

I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3.0. What I want is simple, and I've done some searching but nothing that can get me the right results.I'm going to post a link that does exactly what I want: http:[url]......This rotates the circular object around a center point in a way that you can distort the object yet is still remains turning in a circular motion. A simple motion tween rotating the image will only work if the object is perfectly round, so distorting the object to make it more straight or curved won't work with a simple tween. I want to do exactly what is happening here (with my own object), is there some AS3 behind the scenes here making this turn on a center point?
View 3 RepliesI have an object that I want to rotate in 3D (letter "Y"). I have some code that I gathered and edited a bit, but right now it rotates at the top left as it's anchor. I'm trying to get it to rotate at the "crux" of the Y (absolute center), so it basically rotates in place.
My second problem is the speed. Ideally it needs to rotate very fast then slow down and stop. Any thoughts on how to either clean up this code to make it work? I could try it with just transforming the shape, but I'm trying to see if it can be cleaner with Actionscript.
