i am terrible at explaning things but i'm going to try my best.for example. I have a rotating turret that will follow the mouse 360 degrees.so i wonder if it is possible to go inside the turret ("mc") and stop at frame (2);when the turret reaches 170 degrees.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a turret that points towards the cursor, but lags when the cursor is moved. I can get this to work, however I am running into problems when the cursor crosses from quadrant 4 to 3 (and vice versa). The problem is that the function I am using to control the turret's rotation rotates the turret around the opposite direction almost 360 degrees to get to the new position, instead of moving the few degrees it needs to.
View 3 Repliesi recently learned how to program a tank-type game.. i was able to make the turret follow the mouse and fire bullets that would move to the direction the turret was pointed at..what i'm trying to do now though is make the bullet follow an object moving on stage.. sort of like a heat-seeking missile..
View 2 Repliesi am trying to make a "double-barrel" firing cannon in AS3..below is a crappy drawing of what im trying to acheive...im having trouble making the two bullets come out where they should (1 on the left barrel, 1 on the right barrel). prior to this, i already successfully created a standard "one-barrel" turret that rotates depending on the mouse location and fires 1 bullet per shot.. what i'm trying to do now is (like i said above) to create a double-barrel turret that would fire 2 bullets per shot (1 on the gun1 and 1 on gun2)..below is the code i used for the single-barrel turret: on the timeline:

I am trying to rotate this text 90 degrees. I've read that you're supposed to embed the text....and I've tried that and the text just vanishes. I've also tried to set my own text format, but the problem persists.

tf.font = "Verdana14B";
tf.size = 14;[code]...........
I need to get a certain object to rotate by set degrees (my navigation for this project is organized on a wheel--6 sections on the wheel), and I would like to have buttons that tell this object to smoothly rotate by set degrees (intervals of 60 degrees in this case).
What I have in mind are 5 buttons that control the rotation:
1. 120 deg. ClockWise
2. 60 CW
3. 60 CCW
4. 120 CCW
5. 180 CCW
I've created some code that rotates an arrow up or down when the user clicks on it, depending on whether the timeline is on frame 1 or 5. The problem I am encountering is that rather than rotating visually, it just flips to the correct degree (in this case, 0 or 180).
Code:
function turndown():Void{
for(i=0; i<16; i++){
this.upDownMC._rotation += 11.25;
}} function turnup():Void{

View 6 RepliesI'm new to Flash and I'm having trouble rotating my mc 360 degrees using the 3D Rotation Tool. I can rotate it 180 degrees, right side coming forward, but when I attempt to rotate it back to its original position, it doesn't continue the rotation in the same direction (right side coming forward). So instead of apearing to rotate completely, it looks like it rotates half way, stops, and rotates back (left side comes forwards). Probably an easy solution, but as I said, I'm new.

when I rotate my avatar. So while "this.rotation = 270" rotates it the correct amount, it registers as being rotated by -90 degrees. Thus, if you type "if(this.rotation == 270)" it won't ever be used.
My character movement has been working all day, now I changed the rotation because I added eyes to my character. Soo... Apparently rotating my character by 270 degrees and then hittesting my LevelArray doesn't bounce him back the way it should, and does, if the rotation is at 90 degrees.
Here is my code:
Code:
public function enteringFrame(evt:Event)
{
if (elementStatus == 0 || elementStatus == 2)
{// No collision
[Code]...
Again, the other movements work, and the left movement works too, only when hitting the wall from the left it stops. Hitting the wall from all other sides is fine.
rotating an object based on 90 degrees. For example, I only want the characters rotation values to be 0, 90, 180, or 270 based on the angle between the mouse and an object. I used to know a formula that worked right into the atan2 method, however sadly I had forgotten it

View 1 RepliesI am looking for a quick and simple way of having a movieclip follow the mouse with easing, until it reaches the mouse, at which point I want it to stop. It needs to ease out, so the standard cursorMC.x = mouseX will not do (also because it doesn't update the position of the mouse.

View 3 RepliesI have created a small flash movie where the eyes of the character follow the cursor.

View 1 RepliesI am using CS3 and trying to get an object to follow the mouse and having a hard time finding a tutorial on this, because all of the ones i have found want me to add the actionscript to the MC, and my version of flash won't let me do that. Flash expects me to attach it to the frame and so the code doesn't work.
View 11 Replies...without using the startDrag method. I know I can use code like this inside of a mouse event listener/function:
Code:
objectMC.x=mouseX;
objectMC.y=mouseY;
This code makes the object move with the mouse, but only if I move the mouse very slowly. When I move the mouse quickly, the mouse leaves the area of the object and thus the MOUSE_OVER listener stops listening, causing the object to stop.
I can't find any info on this so I guess I'll just ask. I'm trying to make moveclips that will follow the mouse pointer on MOUSE_OVER but only up to a certain distance then tween back to its original coordinates (preferably with a bounce or elastic ease).I tried startDrag(); on mouse over and that works quit cool but the problem is stopping the drag...
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to get a little mc to follow my mouse but stop when it gets to the "walls" (borders).
I first tried to test when the mc itself hit that _x value:

but when the mouse leaves the area, the mc does not continue to follow it all the way to the border, it just stops immediately.

I have a compass that is rotating depending on the position of the mouse, however it rotates it from the top left of the stage not the movie clip, how to get the AS to recognise the centre of the compass.. Also, I thought a nice touch would be if the compass had a slight "wobble"
I have this kind of menu structure design (see image attached), and the way It needs to work is when the mouse goes close to a topic it follows it and when the mouse is a certain distance away it springs back to its orginal place?

View 1 RepliesI have a graphic replacing the mouse cursor and I'm having it so that when the user goes over a MC (called hitSquare in this case) the cursor graphic moves to a certain location on the stage, then returns to the location of the real mouse position.[code]The problem with this is that during the 0.5 seconds that it takes the graphic to return to the mouse position, the user can still move the mouse, so it actually goes to different co-ordinates and when the user moves the mouse after the 0.5 is over, the cursor just jumps to the new location.How can I make it so that the graphic smoothly follows the mouse, (even if it's being moved and has to update in real time) and then returns to the standard mouse follow code (cursorMC.x = mouseX; etc) once it's met its final destination?I take it this requires some "mouse trail" code that gets removed once it's caught up with the mouse.
