i'm working on a flash game at the moment, and i would like to know if i am able to set the point that the movieclip rotates around using actionscript. i don't want to do it by simply moving all of the contents of the movieclip closer or nearer. is there any other way of doing it? i couldn't find any simple functions for it. am i just going to have to use some complicated maths?

would be nice there was a acceleration at the beginning and a deceleration to the end.

I have a tree movieclip that when clicked, will duplicate itself and the duplicated movieclip will be dragged, using this code:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var i = 0;
if (this._name != "tree") {[code]....
BUt it only rotates when i am moving the mouse?
It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
I have a horizontal scrolling movieclip that scrolls when the mouse is left or right of a certain point of that movieclip. However, it only moves slightly then stops when the cursor goes over it, it doesnt actually scroll normally...

i have 2 intersecting movieclips.
is there a way to hit test point NOT detecting a bottom movieclip if the mouse is over the top movieclip?
I am trying to get the x & y values of a movieclip(contentMc) from inside a different movieclip. Is this the correct way? Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
myMc.x = MovieClip(root).contentMc.x;
myMc.y = MovieClip(root).contentMc.y;

View 1 RepliesOkay I've gone through a good hundred posts on this site and some others but I can't seem to find what I want (Or I just simply don't understand the code.)First thing first. I have no idea how to code what so ever. I just copy and paste stuff into other stuff and hope it works.Objective; Birdseye view perspectiveOkay so I have this background layer, in that background layer is a "Table top spinner" which I've set as a movie clip. What i'm trying to achieve is when you click the movie clip it will trigger a simple animation (spinner on it's side into spinner upright) You are then able to drag the spinner in a set space on the stage (Table) Whilst you are dragging it the spinner will rotate (I've tried animating a rotation but it just looks clunky) and when you release the drag the spinner will start to slow down and come to a stop triggering another animation which will revert it back to it's side
View 0 RepliesI am pretty new to action script 3 (I did a little bit in as2) and i am trying to create a laser gun that rotates towards the mouse and shoots when the mouse is fired.
kind of like this but in as3[URL]..
First, this has to be done in AS2 to load into a previously existing shell, so I can't use AS3 or Papervision.
I am using Lee Brimelow's carousel, but I need to change the operation so the individual carousel element only rotates to the front when clicked.
Kind of like this but less fancy (just the rotation part):

I know it requires some kind of calculation of the endpoint of the spin, but I keep running into odd results.
If I can see how this would be done in AS3, I can translate the logic to AS2.

View 0 RepliesI have a FLV playing (via FLVPlayback component), and I'd like to have a graphic/movieclip display on top of the video at one of the cue points.
The video is a person speaking, and I'd like to have his name and title fade in when he says it.
how can I make the green movieclip rotate in the point that the claw has catch it. To give an impression of physics. Here´s the image, to give you an idea:
The point (x,y) that the claw catches the colored movieclips below is not unique it can be any number. As long as the claw catches the colored movieclip.

when i make a MovieClip by code

Can anybody tell mw what is the origin point of the movieclip.

I can rotate any of the movieClips fine but it rotates from the top left and i want it to rotate from midpoint. Is there a way to set the midpoint/rotation point using actionscript?
I have an action script for a movie clip to rotate around (instance_name.rotation -= 1. and this works fine, how ever i need it to rotate around a point outside of the movie clip. i think i need to move the registration point but i dont know how to do this.
View 1 Repliesi want to move a certain movieclip from a point to another , and i know this can easily be done with a few lines of code ...but just a few days ago i ran across some piece of code that you just entered the x and y positions of were you wanted it to go and the speed at which it should go there...i even saw a command were it would slide in to the position ,, slowing down the closer it got...
View 1 RepliesI am playing with carousel 3 file and I have found it very simple to tweak the AS to fit my needs. However I would like to change the alpha to tween to say 60% when the icon is in its rear most position.
View 3 Repliesi want to make this menu which a part of it rotates. I have a circle with text besides it. This are the buttons. On this circle i have some kinda thing which points the button of where the users mouse is on. So each time the users chooses anothe button, the pointer has to rotate to that button. If there is no mouseover or anything, the pointer has to point the button on where the user is on the site (so in home the point has to point to home button)
View 13 RepliesHow would I move a movieclip to a defined point?
View 4 RepliesI have read a few discussions on changing the registration point on a movieclip but don't seem to work. I have a movieclip with embedded mcs. I can se that the nly way of changing the reg point is by saving as a mc again ie: creating another one and upon creation choose the reg point.
View 5 RepliesHow to fix dynamic registration point in movieclip?
View 9 RepliesSo I've now realized that no mater what I do. my 3D vanishing point is relative to my stage coordinates and not my movieclip's coordinates. I'm trying to move my 3D movieclip from one point of the stage to another but with the strong perspective that I have, I do not want it to change. I would like to move it and preserve it's perspective and not change it's shape.
View 1 RepliesCan I set the registration point of a MovieClip (or other Display Object) to its center upon creation in AS3? the following
[Code]...
sets the registration point of myClip to its top left corner by default. Using Flash CS4 to set it to its center is just a couple of clicks, so I am wondering how I can perform the same action only with code.
I have a MovieClip, that is representing a character in my game. Id like to "create bullets" shooting out from the tip of my characters gun. Problem is that when my character turns around, also the point rotates around the MovieClips pivot.
Is it possible to anyhow easily track this point, so that I could dynamically create new objects at the same location.
I tried to add a new MC as a child to my character, with the initial position at the guntip. In some systems child-objects "follow" their parents around, but it didnt seem to work here.
Is there any other "native" way of doing this, or do I just have to have a Polar-coordinates representation of the point relative to character-MovieClips origin, and add the MC rotation to theta, so that I can calculate the X and Y coordinates?
Is there a way to change the registration point of a movie clip after you've made the movie clip?
