I've got on the web some code of nice rotating objects from xml file. But I need to make, that when you mouse over one object, the rotation get stopped. I don't know exactly how to do it, so I'm asking for your. Pasting bellow the code and URL example of the animation.

a client has asked me to make modifications in a flash file used on his website. i am currently working on the same. the client has given me 'about.swf' file which i decompiled using sothink decompiler 4.5 build 90120 to 'about original.fla'. the xml folder resides in the same folder as ~about original.fla. it contains about_us.xml.you can download these files at [URL] online_questions.zip the change the client wants is as follows - if you view 'about.swf' - when you click on 'key people', the details of 4 people

I'm creating files in an AIR application like this:
var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("myFile");
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
[code]....
I'd like to hardcode a file to periodically check its modification date. Do you have to browse for a file first using filereference.browse to check its modification date or can you hardcode a local file (with absolute path)?
View 1 RepliesI have written an Air program that mirrors a directory tree. The problem is that the destination folder structure and content need to be identical - right down to the creationDate and modificaitonDate file attributes. How can I change these file attributes using Adobe Air? I'm able to READ them both just fine, but the properties are read-only. How do I change them?
View 1 RepliesSo I just started using Flash CS4 from Flash 8, and I like it so far, but there's on major problem: the "classic tweens" (motion tweens) aren't rotating some of the objects I have. Like there's this flame thrower I drew, and I rotate it at the end of the motion tween, but it doesn't rotate. It will just wait till the last frame and then it will show the rotated frame. Motion works in the motion tweens, but not enlarging or rotating... why? It seems more like a glitch, because sometimes I make a classic tween and it rotates stuff just fine, but sometimes it just doesn't... what am I doing wrong here? What's going on?
View 3 RepliesI need to reassign z value to some objects that are rotating in 3d. (see attachment).
This is my code: but it doesn't work:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:uint=0; i<container.numChildren; i++) {
cont[i]=container.getChildAt(i)
//cont[i].z=cont[i].transform.getRelativeMatrix3D(root).position.z;

Whats the 3d capability in flash cs5, I've been told there is a new 3d tool for rotating around objects. Does that mean an obj import is possible? I am eventually aiming for a series of gear wheels, one facing the screen rotating on its z axis. Is this possible.
View 0 RepliesI have two drag-related questions. The first one is how to rotate an object by clicking and holding on it, then moving the mouse round in circles. Think of a clock face, and the user clicking and holding on one of the hands, then spinning it around. The centre point would be the part of the hand that's attached to the middle of the clock face, and the other end of the hand would be able to rotate 360 degrees around the face.
The second one (and not related to the first one, a separate query altogether) is how to drag something horizontally along the screen, but have it stuck at a certain speed. So if the user tries to quickly drag the clip from left to right, it will not reach the right instantly, but instead follow the cursor at a slow speed.
I am trying to understand what part of AS3 script says loop through(create a continues 360 loop of objects) the images from an XML file, does this make any sense.[code]is this the part that says loop the images/objects.this is a little more to the script including the above to maybe understand better?[code]
View 40 RepliesAll I need to do is rotate an object (which could spawn at any point along each of the four edges of the screen) so that it faces towards the centre of the screen. Obviously this will be done using the .rotationZ property. I will know the starting point of the object, and the centre point of the screen (400, 300). The object begins facing directly 'up' (e.g. if it spawned directly below the centre of the screen it would already be at the correct angle).
View 2 RepliesI'm working on putting together a game at the moment which is similar in many ways to mini golf (or crazy golf, depending on where you come from). It is shown from a side-on view and to play the user must select the ball by holding the mouse down over it, then drag the mouse to indicate the direction they wish to fire the ball in. The distance they drag the mouse (this is capped obviously) determines the power of their shot.
I am currently using a triangular object with the tip placed at the centre of the ball to show to the user the direction they have chosen. This triangle rotates to face the position of the mouse, and I'm trying to get it to extend/shorten based on the distance from the mouse to the ball. I have code in place (below) that works when the mouse is either to the left or right of the ball, but behaves rather strangely when the mouse is above or below the ball. When the mouse is in either of the latter locations, the triangle extends to be far bigger than the maximum length allowed by the program, yet a trace shows it is still within acceptable limits! I'm almost beginning to think that Flash is switching the 'width' and 'length' attributes around when the object is rotated by either 90 or -90 degrees!
The code I am using is:
[Code]....
Here's a couple of screenshots of the game as it currently stands too - please don't laugh at the horrible placeholder art: none of it is final haha (also note that I haven't implemented 'gravity' yet, so everything is sort of hovering in mid-air.) The first image shows the code working as I want it to with the triangle at it's max width, the second shows the triangle going 'huge.'
i'm using flash with box2D 2.1a. i'm rotating ball hanging on the string. The path which the rotating ball trace is ellipse. When releasing the rotating ball from the string i want the ball to fly with the obtained direction, velocity and strength. As you can see in the pictures.[URL]..I've tried to do it with setPosition (method of b2Body) and with various joints. But I haven't got the needed results.
View 2 RepliesI have an idea of a game in my head and I wan't to get somekind of functional demo of it done in flash (CS3). I've looked everywhere but couldn't find tutorial for it, as I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm not that good in Actionscript. I'm now trying to describe this problem. On screen there's 4 rectangles, 2 in a row. So it's 2 rows with 2 rectangles in each. between all of them theres 4 circles. If I activate a rectangle with mouse and use arrow keys to rotate it smoothly 90 degrees, 2 nearest circles rotate with it. And same thing happens with all of the rectangles.
So I'm looking for somekind of solution where rotating an object also rotates every circle around it. and when circle rotates 90 degrees with rectangle as it's center point, it can be also rotated with another rectangle. I think I can't explain this clearly?
There is an example of what I'm trying to do [URL]. The only difference is that I'd like to use several different objects in my file...and not only one (i.e., ball or whatever) - but different objects with different shapes, colors....circulating on the same "path".
View 1 RepliesHow would i make hitTest work better with a rotating object(AS2). Becase i have a circle and it if gets near the rotating object (actually pretty far away) it starts the script,(new x and y)
I think thats the rotation script, becuase i took a break for like 4 days becuase it was irritating.
There are a couple of problems i'm having with this - the first is how to work out how to find where the tip of each sine curve is (ie the frequency) and the second is to work out how to rotate each object so that it slides sideways along the sine wave(note file is 800 x 600)here's my code: CarouselTest.as:

import com.greensock.easing.Sine;

i have a triangle that i generate using the following code:
Code: Select allinternal function generateTriangle(w, h, topPoint, color = "0xFF9900") {
var triangle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
with (triangle.graphics) {
[Code]....
I use this function and a foreach loop to generate 9 differently colored and sized triangles, which works fine when i place them on the canvas. But if i try to rotate them they rotate around the 0,0 point - i want them to rotate around the center of the individual triangles, how do i do that?
1. How do i move a dynamically generated triangle inside a movieclip? Solved using [URL]
2. How do i access each of the triangles inside the movieclip, or even better, place them in 9 different movieclips using addChild so that i can move them around individually?

I've created a sphere, and used a texture of Earth to create a rotating planet (using movie material).

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make a rotating banner with buttons on it (check the uploaded FLA... I had to set the extension to *.zip to get it uploaded, so once you DL it, change it to .FLA). It sorta does what I want it to do right now, but my code is really... REALLY awful. The only thing I can say about my code is that the functionality is close to what I'm looking for. Basically, this is what I want it to do:
1) banner consists of 3 different banners that rotate out with an animation in a continuous loop.
2) little buttons in the lower right hand side will whisk you to the appropriate banner, but will NOT be clickable on its specific banner.
3) rolling over the main banner img or the button will also pause the movie
4) clicking on the main banner img will send you to a URL I have a very hard time finding a way to be able to call a function over and over again without remaking the function and renaming it. If you have some time, please take a look at the FLA and pass me some pointers. I am using Flash CS3 if that matters.

I am doing a project for class and I am trying to see how i can make a certain action script in flash.I wanted to see if I can stack a few hundred (very small) images on top of one another with very low opacities.These stacked images will randomly change their order in the layers and create a unique composition everytime.Is there a way to do this in flash? if so, how would I go about it?
View 2 RepliesI have a rotating menu that sets the selected button to the 3:00 position once clicked. I need the labels for the buttons to stay in the upright position as they rotate with the button. I have attached an image. Anyone know of an action script that would keep the labels upright?
View 8 RepliesI am using a swf file as the back drop for a page and it works on Firefox and Safari but not in Netscape, Opera, and IE. I have chased the issue to the actual flash element and how it is programmed to play differently by the AC_RunActive javascript file. code, written to allow for a change of the z-index position. Also, the problem with Netscape is that the entire animation is not being shown. I have the html for linking flash in a div tag and it doesn't seem to want to see it. I may have two seperate issues with the same code or they may be linked.

well this is gonna be a long big essay. So lets start. I used this tutorial to make a nice menu. I got some ideas by searching this forum. Finally came up with this (check the attached .fla) ... Allright, now umm...its really hard to explain. But i gotta explain this. lease Check the attached fla to get the idea of what I am talking here. You will notice that there are 3 buttons in the MAIN MENU. 1) Home 2 Forums. or the SUBMENU : I put 3 more buttons inside the forums_mc (look in the library) on frame 61. The buttons are 1) EXT MC 1 , 2) EXT MC 2, 3) EXT MC 3. I want to use these buttons to load external swf. I want to use the same logic used in the transition tutorial to make the intro and outro transitions. In addition to that, if I press any button on the MAIN MENU, the externally loaded swf should play outro transition and also collapse the SUBMENU. BUT (this is important) , if I press any button in the SUB MENU (like the button EXT MC 2) , then outro transition should play in the ext swf, but the SUB MENU SHOULD NOT PLAY THE OUTRO ANIMATION (which we want to do, when pressing any button on MAIN MENU).
Also the externally loaded swf should load in the emptycontainer movieclip inside the FORUMS_MC clipSo, got any ideas how to do this ???k the attached files. The above discription will only make sense if you see the .fla and other files attached. tried my best to do this, but could not succeed. Also, i asked many friends, but they are not able to do this...I am pretty sure that Masters like POM and Voetsjoeba, scotty and many others will be able to solve this problem.
I'm using Flash MX and am following the falling snow tutorial in the actionscript section. What I'd like is for the snow to move from right to left, but still with the random y position.This code gives me snow (particle) moving right, left, and right again but most ends up along the top (y value of 0).

I am trying to modify the "Adding Thumbnails" tutorial found here:[URL].. I would like to have the bottom thumbnail scroller start to scroll automatically upon page load. The two areas within the scroll area that currently control the moving of the scroll area would not be needed. Each thumb nail would also need to be clickable and point to their full size images. Currently, when the user causes the scroll to happen, it moves untill their are no items left in the array. I would like for the automatic scrolling to continually scroll, looping back to the beginning of the array when completed, over and over again.
View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic text field with space for only one character. The text field id embedded with a space and the 26 uppercase letters A-Z. The text field is intiated being empty. I have two buttons, and up and a down. When i press on the up button, i want the value in the text to be incremented by 1, for example, if it is a space, it should increment to an "A", if it is a "P" it should be incremented to a "Q", and if it is a "Z" it should be ncremented so it goes back to being a space. I have managed to do this with a bunch of 27 if else statements, but surely there must be a way of simply incrementing the value in the text field?
