I have a logo that I made in Fireworks, and it looks decent, but I was wondering if anyone could mimic it with movement. For example, if someone could use actionscript to make it "wiggle" or wave like a flag in the wind, that would be awesome.
Notice how the blue line itself stays at about the same thickness (it barely starts getting thicker), but the shading around it thickens as it goes more and more to the right.
I want to make a movieclip move on random sine wave. (sine path)I m trying to do this for a week and cant get it good.I want to make the curves random. and acceleration too.(it will be a fish like character swimming)Like as in this game : http:[url]..........(the small character which swim and move smoothly)this is the portion of code im using now.
var tempEnemy:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("enemy1","enemy_1,1); tempEnemy._x = 500; tempEnemy._y = 0;[code]..........
I'm generating a sine wave and playing it as a sound. But When I call SoundMixer.StopAll() it's causing a click when sounds stops. I think its because it's cutting the sound off in the middle of the wave, I was wondering of a way to make the sine wave slowly ripple out before i stop it. Is there already functions to do this in Action Script 3 or is my sine wave function i need to modify here is my code for the wave.
function sineWave(event:SampleDataEvent):void { var sample:Number for (var i:int=0; i<8192; i++) { sample = Math.sin((i+event.position) * ((2 * Math.PI)/44100) * freq); // freq is just any frequency event.data.writeFloat(sample * .15); event.data.writeFloat(sample * .15); } }
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:
I am sooooooooo lost. I need help in making a movie clip go in a wave motion with only action script. basically I am trying to make a game and I am so lost on how to make the enemy come in and fly in a wave motion from the left to the right in an up and down motion. I thought it would be easy but I must be using the wrong code since my enemy plane is just fly from left to right and not going up and down.
I want to be able to take a general sine wave y=Math.sin(x) and rotate it around some other angle, so instead of going strictly left-to-right, I'd like to go from, say, the top left corner toward the "center," or from the bottom right to the center, or any other arbitrary angle. Like this: I want to be able to use that wave as a "path" for enemies in a game, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around it. I've tried matrix transformations, but I was missing something there, too, because the origin was wrong.

i want to create a sine wave and its speed will change depends on change in freequency and wavelength . and stop the wave movement when we click stop button.[code]
I was browsing the net and came upon this site, which has a really cool blob-like borders effect. I really wanted to learn how to accomplish this effect, here's what I know as of now:
1. I must have an array of points, connect them using curveTo and fill it. For this I have to use this methods: createMovieClip, lineStyle, beginFill, moveTo, curveTo, endFill
2. Then I must have a proximity detector for each point, more or less like: dx = point._x - _xmouse; dy = point._y - _ymouse; distance = Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
And if the mouse is too close to the point make it move away with a certain velocity (but only if the mouse is moving, if it is still, just make the blob wobble for a while, using an elasticity effect). point._vx += point._ax; point._x += point._vx;
Where the acceleration must be a fraction of the distance we calculated before: k = .2; // example point._ax = distance * k;
But we must also have damping so we can have the elastic movement, so: damp = .9; // example point._vx += point._ax; point._vx *= damp; point._x += point._vx;
3. Finally when the mouse is clicked on a blob we must communicate with the others and make them all wobble, by using LocalConnection. How do I make the array with all the points and access them?; how do I impose the proximity detector into each point and make the curveTo's change?
I made a semi-sinewave effect (view attachment) and it works fine with one exception. I want for it to wave on random intervals (from 1-15 seconds) instead of continuously, but I can't get it working right. Here's the code:
I'm trying to replicate the motion of a 'mexican wave'. I am using Flash CS5, and using AS2. I've created a 'jumper' graphic and animated it in a clip so it jumps once - up then falls back to the ground. I've pulled the clip in to the main timeline and replicated a bunch of times so I have a row of 'jumpers'. I've given each instance a unique ID. Then I'm telling each clip instance to start playing, in sequence, using the following code:
var total_jumpers = 36; var i = 0; var jumpLag = 1000; function do_jump(bottle) { jumper.play(); [Code] .....
In the clip, I have put stop() in the last frame to try and stop it looping. So this works ok, but the clips seem to loop - I can't get them to stop.
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.
I want to move all objects in an array producing a stadium wave effect, how do i do that?I want to move the objects based on their y-value on the stage... all my squares are of 50x50 in size. I want to move them up then move them down
I've got 3 columns in an SQLite db I built with Firefox's handy SQLite Manager. So, I created 3 columns, an index/reference that's just an incrementing INTEGER for easy reference, a descriptive title of the image (so it can be searchable later) in a TEXT, and a BLOB type that holds the pngs.
I'm trying to add this in an assets folder into my project (as a pre-populated database) and display the blob images, one at a time, in a window one after the other, scrollable by user. This is where I'm running into problems. Eventually I want to be able to encrypt it and add a search tool, but first things first, and that's displaying an image.
I have spent several hours scouring the web about this topic, but there isn't much help out there: Adobe has tips about using SQLite with AS3 (their reference documents and the support section of their website have some overview articles) but nothing refers to reading blob data in depth.
On this site, I've found some references to Adobe Air looking for extra byte information when reading blobs since they have a different syntax to write to the databases created within the program. See: What is the first bytes in a Blob column SQlite Adobe AIR? Blob Sizeinfo?
I have a flex application which is hosted on Azure.
I have some data stored in a blob in a private container.
How can I use URLLoader to display the data? If I use a public container , then I am able to read from the blob in my application. However, if the type of the container is private URLLoader fails.
I have a specific request or a general pondering really.I know you can create a sine wave type thing with as, could you then perhaps create movie clips, letter by letter that would move along and up and down on this sine wave?could you then, instead of setting the size and scale of the sine wave have it react to the input levels of a mic.i've been hunting for something that will help for a while and have drawn a blank
I need to be able to save and load images into an SQLite database using Flex 4.5 for a mobile application. The use case is this:
Inside the view there is a spark Image object with a URL as a source
When user clicks button, the Image is saved to an SQLite db inside a BLOB field.
In a separate Image, the source is set to the ByteArray stored in the db.
The biggest question so far is this: where do I get the ByteArray for a loaded Image? I've tried debugging and inspecting Image, BitmapImage, and BitMapData but there's no sign of the byte array.... perhaps it's inside the ContentLoader? But that's null unless I enable caching.
I've done some research and there are no complete examples for how to handle this. I've written a simple View that anyone can copy and paste into a new project. It will compile without errors and can be used for testing. I will update this code as I get the answers I need so that anyone can have a fully working example of this workflow.The only caveat: I used a synchronous connection to the DB to avoid complicating the code with event handlers, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.I will only mark this question as answered once it is fully functioning both ways.
UPDATE SEPT. 09 2011: The code below is now fully functioning in both directions (save and load). Here are some of the things I've learned: It turns out that the ByteArray of a spark Image can be found inside the LoaderInfo of the image itself. Like this:
image.loaderInfo.bytes
However, trying to set this ByteArray as the source of another image ( image2.source = image1.loaderInfo.bytes) results in this security error: Error #3226: Cannot import a SWF file when LoaderContext.allowCodeImport is false.Which is too bad because it would save so much time and processing power.the workaround is to encode the ByteArray using either a JPEGEncoder or a PNGEncoder. I used the JPEGEncoder which produces much smaller files. Here's how:
var encoder:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(75); var imageByteArray:ByteArray = encoder.encode(imageToSave.bitmapData);
Now the problem is saving these bytes to the DB. Saving them as they are now will not work once we read them out, I'm not sure why. So the solution is to encode them into a base64 string like this:
var baseEncoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder(); baseEncoder.encodeBytes(imageByteArray); var encodedBytes:String = baseEncoder.toString();
So now just save that string into the BLOB field and later read it out. However, you have to decode it from a base64 string to a ByteArray like this:
var encodedBytes:String = result.data[0].imagedata; var baseDecoder:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder(); baseDecoder.decode(encodedBytes); var byteArray:ByteArray = baseDecoder.toByteArray();
Now assign the bytearray as the source of your image and you're done. Simple right?if you find any optimizations or alternative ways to do this.I will respond and keep this code updated if need be.
I am having trouble loading .swf files to my flash app off my cloudstorage account on azure. images and videos load fine but .swf files return this error:
SecurityDomain 'http://localhost/' tried to access incompatible context 'http://[---].blob.core.windows.net/content/swf/Lib_En.swf'
I am trying to get a bitmap to spit out just straight black and white for blob detection purposes.. but my image processing function (below) is spitting out black and transparent instead of black and white... can someone tell me what my pee brain is doing wrong
I am trying to create a similar effect to what is used in CityVille for dropping coins and experience icons, they do a custom move animation and it first moves a little bit up and then down. It looks like it is following a spline or a sine function.
Basically I need to have text from a dynamic/input textfield to appear in a wavy line pattern automatically. Now I'm pretty sure it can be done fairly easily with the right knowledge but I unfortunately lack that knowledge.
The idea I had was that a string is broken into individual letters and each is placed along a sine curve of a set length/width - the string/characters are repeated if necessary in order that the full width of the curve is covered. Also note that the text need not be rotated to match the lines, only _x and _y values need to be adjusted.
I have to produce a design with dynamic text similar to this (my ascii art skills are crap so please imaging that these are wavy lines rather than zig zags):
With Keith Peter's "Actionscript 3.0 Animation" book it's dead easy to make one that oscillates smoothly between two fixed values but I need one that varies it's oscillation randomly (within reason of course). Imagine the teeth of a saw, up-down-up-down-up-down, very dull. What I want is more like a range of mountains, the same smooth change in height but less regular.
