i know how to use the _rotation on a mc, but how can i let it rotate slowly
[AS]
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
rnd = parseInt(Math.random() * 2);
if(rnd == 0) {[code].....
this way it only flips to another degree, but you can't see it go round...
I have a project which will allow the user to upload an image, drag it within a certain area, and rotate it.The trouble is, that the user is allowed to rotate the image. When they do, then because the area is defined by the width of the rotated image, then the image will not go as far as it's boundary,or it will cross over it's boundary.I have searched the web for a solution, and have found nothing.I am currently thinking it has something to do with Math.cos() or Math.sin()Here is my current code(which doesn't work):
r = mc._rotation;
mc._rotation = 0;
w = mc.clip._width;
h = mc.clip._height;

Is it possible to make a movie clip rotate about the center point of it using the ._rotation method?
View 1 Repliesim tryin to rotate this movieclip of a starfield but when i use _rotation i get this flickering effect every second or two of rotation see [URL] left and right keys change rotation hold down a key and you will see what i mean ,is there a way to prevent this flickering here is the code i used

i know how to check the angle between my object and the mouse, but i dont know how to make it rotate slowly to it...
i tried this codes:
Code:
//first method:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._rotation = (Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-
[Code]....
currently I have a movieclip that follows my mouse cursor simply using
char.x = mouseX
char.y = mouseY
the movie clip is always upright, how do i add rotation so the char will rotate slowly based on the direction hes moving?
I have an object that points in the direction of another object (i.e. it rotates to the direction that the second objects x and y coordinates are at) below is the code I use.
var distx = target.x - x;
var disty = target.y - y;
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(disty, distx);
[code]....
as you can see. Not only does it rotate towards the target object, but it also moves towards it too. When I play the movie, the object instantly points to the targeted object and moves towards it. I would like for it to slowly turn towards the object instead of instantly turning towards it.
I am trying to make my character look as he is walking around on the stage. I can make him, but what do I to make move his arms and legs? Also, I want the character walking animation when one of the keys is pressed, and stop walking when that same key is released. I have looked and looked with google and I can't seem to find the answer
View 3 Repliesfor examlple i have box. height=16 and widht=100 the problem is when i apply rotation on that movie clip it changes its height and widht. is there any way to control that? or any one can tell me using what formula it reduce the height and widht when we apply rotation on it??
View 3 RepliesFrom what I have gathered, _rotation uses radians?Basically, my initial goal was to make a movieclip rotate towards the mouse. I'm not very good at trigonometry.Using the help files I found atan2 which seemed to be what I needed. A little fiddling got me to this code:
var xDist:Number;
var yDist:Number;
var angle:Number;
onMouseMove = function () {
[code].....
However,the _rotation is opposite what is expected. This is not a problem as I can just flip the movieclip. But really what im here to ask is, please ecplain this code for me? I don't correctly understand how atan2 works.. and why it needs to be *60.Basically: How to get a movieclip to rotate towards the mouse.. and why does the code work, I want to learn trigonometry.
I'm having a problem determining if the angle created between two movie clips (which I've calculated with Math.atan2) is within +/-35 degrees of movie clip b's rotation.

[Code]....
Which is currently very glitchy it will not look at the mouse directly instead it will just continuosly rotate trying to find it, is there any way to fix this? The game... I have tried several different methods... Is it because it does not know how to face the mouse and what part of him to use to face it, if so how can i fix it?
if there is a way to use the _rotation property with the Tweening class to make a movie clip continually to rotate from it's current position instead of starting back at the original position and doing the same rotation again.
I'm trying to make an movie object rotate 90 degrees by clicking on a button and then when you click the button again, the movie rotates 90 more degrees. I don't want it to start over and do that same 90 degree rotation with the Tween class.
how do i change an object's _rotation based on the xy coordinates of another object (so it is facing it)?
View 3 RepliesI found the tutorial on duplicating movieclips, especially the line-by-line translation of the code. how to communicate with those clips�specifically to make them draggable and also to change the _rotation with Key.Right, Key.Left.
View 7 RepliesI am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...
View 1 RepliesI am not an actionscripter, but slowly learning. I have been using this code to fade a movie in and out. Simple for me, and works well.
[Code]...
Basically, what I am looking for is it to fade out to 15, then fade back in to 100, then back out to 15, and so on and so on. With the code above, it works fine, however, it doesn't fade in and out slow enough. If I change the diff variable to say .3, then it STOPS after it fades out. I would like somewhere around .1 or even .05, but of course, anything below .4 just stops fading once it hits 15.
I'm using Flash CS3 and AS 2.0 to create an Arkanoid clone.
I have the bat and ball doing what I want, however, the wall section is causing me a problem.
I decided to artificially create the wall using as 2.0, starting with the below code:
Code:
class Brick extends MovieClip
{
var wall;
function onLoad()
[Code].....
I put it in either onLoad or onEnterFrame and it makes Flash run slowly. I can understand why in onEnterFrame (as it is running it continualy therefore inifite loop style) but not when I put it in onLoad as that shouldn't cause Flash to slow down.
Have a look at this:[URL]
and then this: [URL]
notice how it doesn't take any time to load on first URL, but on the second URL, it takes A LOT of time for the flash swf (header) to appear. Even when you change pages, it doesn't seem to get cached.
How do you make it so when you roll off of a MovieClip it slowly stops playing, as opposed to abruptly stopping when you're no longer rolled over it?I have a page with a bunch of MovieClips, that look like picture frames hanging on the wall, and when you roll over each one it starts to sway a little bit. I want to make it so when you roll off of each picture frame, it slowly goes back to the middle, no matter which keyframe it happened to be on when they rolled off.
View 3 RepliesI have an array that I need to add single characters to slowly.So the array is wordToCheck and I have some "drop places" to check and see if a letter has been "dropped off." Each drop point is assigned an index and I just want to add the letter to the proper index of the array so that I can push it into a string.This is my code:
wordToCheck[currentBlank.register] = currentLetter.letter.toLowerCase();
So you can see that if "A" was dropped at the blank spot with the register 2 it would return "- - A".The problem is that it's deleting it every time I add a letter. So if I put "A" in register 2 and then "M" in register 3 it returns "- - - M". How do I get it to not override itself each time?
I think this is just a matter of fine tuning some different elements, but I'd like to know your take. I've got a Flex app, using the Flex 4 data services, communicating with Zend AMF services. One of the services returns all the results in a database using SELECT * FROM table there are ~1200 rows (140KB package size).
My problem is the response time, it's rage inducing. Total duration is always between 7-8 seconds. All but about 150ms of that is latency. I broke up the PHP to figure out exactly where the latency was and turns out return $rows is eating up ~6.8sec latency. I can deal with 1-2sec, but when I start waiting around for 8sec I feel kinda dumb. I cross checked the query response speed directly from the database, and just like I was expecting the total query time is 45-60ms.
PHP, this is basically just the generated Flex data service code, although in production it isn't the same:
public function getAllProject_entries() {
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "SELECT u.*
FROM $this->tablename u");

I have made a simple animation in Flash and the i exported into a swf. The problem is, that the movie is running slow, jerky or in other words is playing in slow motion. I have changed the frame rate but with luck, is there a problem with video player/codec?
*Edit1: the clip doesn't have any code, is hand drawing on 6 layers; also when i import this movie in Adobe Premier and the export in .avi the jerky effect disappears.[Url]
I am having a problem with a flash movie that plays slowly on some devices. The movie uses a lot of video, and was originally written in AS2. I changed it to AS3 and now, apparently, it plays too slowly.[code]...

I tried cacheAsBitmap... and nothing... I would post the code, but with all the stuff inbetween it... it's like 700 lines long.... i'm giving a general over view... Is the problem based on the fact that I'm using the flex canvas to work off of?? Is there any way I can do my own 'canvas' like mc... that falls under the canvas, and before all the GUI? I tried adding children to the canvas and it didn't work.
