ActionScript 2.0 :: Trigger An Animation To View The Different Sides Of The Cube
May 21, 2011
I have a cube and the buttons are meant to trigger an animation to view the different sides of the cube. For optimising and swf hosting sake I want to use one animation on the frames of the timeline but for multiple buttons. e.g. button 1 goes to the start of the animation, then at the end, the action goes to the frame 2. if button 2 was pressed to go to the start of the same animation then at the end, the action goes to frame 3 etc. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this should be done?
I"m trying to reload all the sides of cube on the fly. I'm using an example I found on here and just modifying it. I've tried a couple different ways, but it seems each time after I load the material it will no longer spin how initial one did and leftovers of the old one remain and keep spinning. This is my first time playing with papervision so I'm sure it's somehting simple I'm doing wrong. I've attached the .fla file, it's saved for CS5
I got goal to achieve, 3d cube manipulated with mouse with gradient filling on each wall.
I found some source codes coresponding to gradients and 3d rotating cube but here is the problem:
When i put these two things together the effect looks like the cube was a wireframe with transparency to some gradient background hidden behind the first plane solid black background. Gradient always stays still.
Method which rotates/displays cube got at input three parameters rotx .roty, rotz i'd like to make use of it and apply it to gradients displayed on each side. gradient got own matrix but i don't have a clue how and when manipulate this gradient to get desired effect - i mean transform/rotate gradient in way ro look like it is painted on side of cube and tranform along to it 3d position.
here is source for gradient [URL]
and site where you can get cube fla file

and here is code of .fla file from link above with my modifications
ActionScript Code: import fl.events.SliderEvent; var numVertices:int = 8; var numFaces:int = 6;
I'm in a Flash Pro project with my View3D as big as the stage and I'm trying to make a cube of the dimension of the stage which would fit exactly the View. Practically the user shouldn't be aware of the presence of a 3D cube (until I animate it) How can I achieve this?
I created this Rubiks Cube with Papervison3D. With some resources I created a Cube with 27 minicubes inside (3*3*3 = 27). Rotating the Rubiks Cube on mouse move is already done. (I do not rotate the camera.) All the behavior of a Rubiks Cube is in there already. But I'm a bit stuck in the final phase.
When I play with it like I would do with a normal Rubiks Cube it's working ok, besides I know that the default Euler rotation values aren't reliable anymore after a while. What I need is to rotate the Rubiks Cube to the selected side and after that rotate the Rubiks Cube over the z-axis so the minicube face faces up. I prefer to animate it with TweenMax but I'm really stuck since I need quaternion rotations.
I know the selected face of the Rubiks Cube itself. I know the Euler rotation of the Rubiks Cube using Matrix3D.matrix2euler(_rubiksCube.transform); What I need is to rotate it to the selected face for instance when the current rotation is x: -20, y: 35, z: 10 and I select the back face of the rubiksCube it must rotate to x:0, y: 180, z: 0.
What I need is to change this to Quaternion values and rotate the Rubiks Cube to the new Quaternion value. After that it must rotate the Rubiks Cube over it's z axis to face the selected minicube face up. This is the code I use when dragging/ rotating the Rubiks Cube
A website I am developing will have a small animation (say 5-10 seconds minor effect) on the logo at the top of the screen. The logo looks static but when you hover your mouse over it, the animation is played. (This is achieved using the 'button' symbol as the animation within flash).
The client now wants the website's plain text navigation, when hovered over, to trigger the animation to play again. I am a very BASIC user as flash but I believe it is possible to send a javascript call to the swf (i.e. each navigation link will include a "onmouseover=' restartFlashAnimation()'"where I need to define that js function) ...and the swf will recognise the function call and then replay the animation.
I have a 13 frame animation that I am loading in a hidden <div>. Does anyone know how I can trigger it to start playing when the div is made visible and then hide the div when its finished playing? Currently it loops in the background, which is no good as I want to use it as a page transition. Play once, hide, new page shown.
I have a virtual keyboard on screen, with SimpleButtons for each of the keyboard keys. In addition to using the on-screen keyboard, I want to allow for physical keyboard input as well.
Everything works, but I am looking for a way to trigger the rollover/down/up animation of the SimpleButton if the user uses the keyboard. Is this possible? I'm already capturing the keystroke info and matching it against the SimpleButton, but I don't know how to get the button to play.
> User inputs 3 digit number into an input box> If the number is incorrect, an animation is played saying sorry, you have not won> If the number is correct, an animation is played saying congratulations, you have wonWhat's the easiest way to do this?
I have 2 simple MCs I am trying to control via rolling over the actual animation itself, not a separate button.
Here's the catch though: In one MC the animation is up and down, the other, left to right. I need the user to be able to not only trigger the animation by rolling over it, BUT, control the up and down/left to right action.
When they move the cursor up and down, the animation follows... you get the idea.
Can this be done with an invisible button covering and on top of the animation?
I have a bunch of buttons each one with a roll over on it that trigger an animation. So far no problem. The problem is that as I would like to add to the buttons a behaviour like this: if you roll over the button more than 200ms the animation happens else nothing happen.
Here is my code: tab01_mc.buttonMode = true; tab01_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverTab, false, 0, true); //this is one of the buttons function rollOverTab (event:MouseEvent):void{ getTimer(); var delayTime:int = getTimer(); trace(delayTime); if (delayTime >= 200){ event.target.gotoAndPlay("Over"); // over is the animation of the button }}
But this isn't working because what getTimer actually does is return the time since the whole movie started not since the function star running. So my question is: is the a way to tell AS to start counting from 0 so that I can use the elapsed time as my condition to trigger the animation?
I've completed the ball rolling with the grass and flowers springing up behind, and it works--when I scrub. It does not work in SWF; only the grass and flowers appear, which are frame by frame, the ball, which I did with the motion editor, does not appear.
Here's the deal:I have an image and a button on my mobile app's homeview. I apply an animation to the image by pressing the button. That works great. PROBLEM:I want to add a view transition that pushes to the next view after the animation completes.CODE:
I have a sliding menu at the bottom of my screen. When you mouse over the menu it pops up and as it does it triggers an animation of a moving object. The moving object starts "off screen", comes sliding in and comes to a rest in the middle of the menu. The object has buttons on it. What I'd like to do is when a user clicks the button it loads content onto the main stage. Then either after clicking the button or mousing off the menu the object animation will continue on it's merry way out of view (off the menu).
Everything works great except I can't get the button to work! I'm thinking it's a path issue since I've done lots of buttons. So the button is now here: _root.slidingNav.animationMC.object.button And I've got the AS on the button: on (release) { _root.slidingNav.animation.gotoAndPlay(31);} Is the button so buried that it's clicking options aren't available?
I am designing a very long page. There will be a flash animation at the bottom of the pageI want this animation to play only when the user scrolls down and this flash object comes into view. How do I do this? I am quite familiar with flash and actionscript, so I just need some pointers.I have seen that this is already being used for advertisements. If you visitthere are ads that appear far below on the page. These ads play only when you scroll down and the ad appears within the browser window. This happens on many other sites as well.Many popular sites also use something like this. On CNN, try opening a new tab that loads a flash video. The video begins to play only when you actually go to that tab. Until you open the tab and the contents become visible in your browser window, the video doesn't start. How is this done?
does anyone know how to disable that slide animation and just have the action bar instantly change to whatever action bar the next view contains, but still do a slide navigation for the rest of the view. My Action bar doesn't change on every page so seeing the same image reload repetitively in the action bar.
I'm about to have to write a web page/app that will serve the agenda for circa 100 people on a page. One line per person, one column per day with 3 clickable zones in each cell. In HTML, the page is way complex for the browser to load quick and there is no possibility to click on a border between 2 cells to for example split an event that spreads among several cells. So I search an not too overkilling technology to render this kind of view. I begun with a PHP generated HTML page but the number of elements in the page make the mouse move jerky.
Moving to JAVA would give me better performances regarding the reuse of the generator of the view but it will still be an HTML page. So, here is my question: do you think that going forward with JAVA and its graphical capability is the simple solution or is Flash a better option for this part of a Web App? I'm afraid of the code I'll have to write in JAVA to handle the GUI presentation as well as the events generated by the 1000's cells plus borders of the page. In Flash, the graphical part seems simpler even if the actions handling is still huge.
I'm currently using RobotLegs with the Presentation Model pattern to develop a Flex 4 project. I understand that all business logic related to a View resides in the Presentation Model associated with that view, however, I am confused when it comes to View specific logic.For example, I have an indicator that needs to be positioned relatively to list items depending on which list item is selected. Is it acceptable in the Presentation pattern to put the logic that will position the indicator in the View and simply have that logic run in reaction to a selectedIndex property changing in the presentation model?The reason I am considering this is that since the Presentation Model does not have a reference to the view it is difficult to come up with an ideal solution for manipulating view components.
I am wondering how to make a 360º view bubble, like they use for Google Street View, but have no idea how to go at accomplishing this task... i have the string of photos that i attached in photoshop(so that if you connected the left to the right it would be a full 360º view).
I have an application done in flash- on the main Scene Level, everything has only one frame but I have MCs and the like that are triggered by actionscript.There are quite a few nested functions on the main actions layer as well as an "onEnterFrame" function that reloads XML data in the background, etc... but that is not the problem.
The problem is, that at one point, I am calling a few MCs that kind of close up a section of the page like blinds- and then I want a text to appear ontop of that now closed area... but if I just write...
...it all happens simultaneously, of course.I guess I could check for "BlendeT1"'s (or T2's) current frame (since it's an MC)... but how do I wait while that MC runs / until it reached a certain frame? How can I keep the rest of the actionscript in the main function from continuing?
I am using Flash CS4 AS3.. When I open my browser "Internet Explorer 7" it opens normal. But When I open a link using the following Flash code it opens half in length and half in width. I need to click on "Maximise" button to view in full. How to solve the problem? It is our Intranet link.
I have one .mxml file (the Application) with a ViewStack (with 4 views) and a ControlBard, obviously I can change the views with it, but what I want to do is: in view #1 I have an image which I want to convert to a "hyperlink", so when I click it I go to View #2, is this doable? Also I would like to pass somehow some data (like a String) to that View #2 (lets say the it's a user avatar I click so I want to go to the second view which will show me his profile, that's why I need his name/id).
My problem is that when I try to pass an object from the navigator.pushView(view, dataobject), I can't figure out how to access the dataobject from actionscript. I can access {dataobject.property} from MXML easily, but I want to set a variable in the new view to the passed dataobjects property.
in flash, I encounted a source file that is cropped and I cannot move it, is there some sort of cropped view in flash I dont know about? I cannot find anyinformation about it, it has rulers displayed as far as I remember.
Basically you cannot move in the file to edit anything viewpoint wise, everything outside of the movie area is invisible and not there? As if cropped.
I was goofing around with more a/s and was trying to grow a bar using _height and a random value. However, it seems to grow from the center, and I'd like it's x or y value to be fixed.It is basically a vertical bar. I want the bottom to stay fixed, so the bar will grow up.While we're at it.. I'd also like to figure how to show it "growing" progressively.. I tried a while(condition
I made a 3d box using flash cs4 (ive made one using imported images as the sides and another one using vector siding made in flash) Both times, when ive finished the box and rotate it, sides will dissapear then reappear, depending on where the box was in its rotation. For instance, when you look at it dead on, the front side seems opaque, but when i start rotating it, the fron side, at certain angles, becomes transparent and you can actually see INSIDE the box thru the wall, then as it moves it becomes solid again. I am trying to make a presentation for work of a package, rotating 360 degrees on its y axis, but keep getting these odd disapearing sides.
I am just restarting my flash adventures and am trying to learn AS3. I can a real quick code request. I am trying to make a MC bounce off the sides of the stage. When I use the following code, the MC gets stuck going -2 then +2 at the edge of the stage.
[Code]....
How do I get it disregard the first part of the if/else and then go the other direction? know this is a really beginer question,
