ActionScript 2 :: Tween Around Ellipse From Different Start Points
Jun 14, 2011
I have 7 movieclips on stage I want to tween around an ellipse from different start points. I am having lots of trouble doing this. I used a circle formula at first and then divided the y value by the width of the ellipse over the height. This sort of worked but after every rotation the y value was a little of. That code is:
this._x += (Math.cos(angle * Math.PI/180) * radius);
this._y += (Math.sin(angle * Math.PI/180) *radius)/1.54;
I also have trouble finding the angle of the start point, if it is off they won't travel in the same ellipse but they all have different starting angles.

Now I am using the Tween Class to move some boxes in my movie, now I can move the first mc and then another mc after the first tween has finished with onMotionFinished but I was hoping someone could help with how do I start the second tween when the first mc has passed a certain _x coordinate. ie starting the second mc moving while the first tween is still moving.

I have installed FMS 4 and have set up a player (longtail) on my website and I am currently streaming videos for my school district using RTMP. Things are working OK, but I do have an issue I have been unable to resolve. I want to allow the user to jump to certain segments of the long video using a hyperlink that specifies the timecode of the start point. In the hyperlink, I pass a variable called 'VidStart' which is the timestamp in seconds. This system works flawlessly within my school district's firewall, but outside the firewall the video loads (slower than within the firewall), but the start point links do not work. Instead of going to the specified timestamp, the video just always from the beggining.

creating motion tween with two inputs starting point and ending point of an object.
example:
my object name: mcball
current point100,100);
desination point200,200);
here in AS3 whether any default methods are functions which take these two points and make motion tween.

Trying to start an animation after a tween is done. Animation starts but way later, like 5 seconds after tween is finished.
Code:
var easeInPic:Tween = new Tween(bg, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, 1000, false );
easeInPic.stop();
function showPic(e:Event):void{
tweenPicEI();
}function tweenPicEI ():void{
easeInPic.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, showMenuBar);
easeInPic.start();
}function showMenuBar(e:TweenEvent):void{
menuBar.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

I have a problem whereby I am trying to Start a tween from set cordinates..[URL].. Which was helpful but did not sort out the problem, I have a movieclip "pano_mc" which moves around driven by mouse movements, there is a hotspot (hs1_mc) nested within it (which moves with the Pano_mc), I have an onPress Event on hs1_mc which when pressed allows me to get the x and y of "pano_mc" at the point of OnPress, I need somehow to use these x and y corodinates to define the start point of the tween, on Pano_mc.
I can't use "this" (as mentioned in the above link) as the event is on the hs1_mc and if I just use "_x" parameter in the tween, it starts from where the movie is originally and not from where it is when the onPress is actioned,where I get the cordinates at that point.

I have this code below which produces no errors
import Card;
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var ace_clubs1:Ace_clubs = new Ace_clubs();ace_clubs1.scaleX=0.4;ace_clubs1.scaleY=0.4;[code]......
The only thing is the TRACE output for the MOTION_START EVENT does not fire.

I have a pretty complex problem... i am trying to make a match cards game and i managed to do most of it, i mean the engine part, but i got to mouse-object interaction and this is where i have quite a few problems... I started using TweenMax for the first time at making this game and I don't know how could i get a tween to follow another (if you understand what I am saying) I put a condition and if it is fulfilled, i wanted to start a tween and after that another tween of another object...

i am on a timeline on frame 10 with a stop ,,,, i want to play frame 11 to remove ( play out movie clip) the movie clip using time line tween and the go to frame 20 and play the next movie clip and stop at frame 25 .so far i can get to the frames to start the tweens with
function onHomeClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("somos");
but then before going to next frame will like to play the one i am out and then go to the next one ,

I'm working with some images using the tween to move them. Sometimes the tween seems to stop and quit towards the end (sometimes its fine)
Is there a way to check and ensure the tween is going from from start to finish

Is it possible to alpha tween (or any tween) the end of an animation with the start?For example, here we have a simple animation that alpha tweens three images with looped playback (keyframes capitalized):
IMAGE X: xxxxxxxxxxxxX--->X
IMAGE Y: Y--->YyyyyyyyyY--->Y
IMAGE Z: Z--->Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
(loop)
Image X alpha tweens with Y, and Y alpha tweens with Z.Is it possible to alpha tween image Z with image X when the playback loops?

I am making a webpage for class and i copied all the code from previous projects that i made that worked fine. I made a menu that once you go over the button it starts a 2 motion tweens that end with buttons appearing. i keep getting the message
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
The whole code is this
stop();
back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,back1);
function back1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("one");}
pump_link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,pump_btn);
function pump_btn(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay("pumpkin_frame", "pumpkin");}

I'm fairly new to AS3 and I'm trying to make a pretty complicated (for me) set of behaviors. You can see what I'm trying to do here: [URL]. The Main class sets up the crosshair, the navigation, the color bars that randomly roam the stage, and the 3 words that float around. The idea is that when you hover over a word, the color bars split apart like a curtain and two random pictures appear. Then, when you roll off the word, the pictures disappear and the color bars start roaming again.
I've got the color bars, the floating words, and the curtain split working great. My problem is bringing in the pictures. For whatever reason, 60 to 70% of the time the tween stops before it is complete. I think it has something to do with the fact that I've got a hover on a piece of text, and the mouse sometimes slips into the empty spaces between the letters, but even when I put a semi-transparent rectangle over the whole word to act as a hit area I got the same results. The ZIP with all my classes is here: [URL]. Again, I'm new to AS3 and OOP,

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.

I am working with this function that moves an object around a center point in a perfect circle and am trying to modify it to move it in an oval shape that is 1/2 as high as it is wide?
Basically, I have a set speed
var myVelocity:Number = 0.25;
Then I calculate my Sine and Cosine based on the speed
var myCos:Number = Math.cos(myVelocity);
var mySin:Number = Math.sin(myVelocity);
Then I figure the distance of the the object from a fixed center points along each axis and
var x1:Number = myBall.x - centerX;
var y1:Number = myBall.y - centerY;
var x2:Number = myCos * x1 - mySin * y1;
var y2:Number = myCos * y1 + mySin * x1;
myBall.x = centerX + x2;
myBall.y = centerY + y2;
I have another function that figures x and y based upon myBall.x = centerX + cos(angle) * radius; that is easy enough to modify the radius to become an ellipse, but is there an easy way to mod the one above to become an ellipse? I want to do this to be more efficient with the code and reduce the number of math function calls

I'm in the final stages of my Papervision project and I need to have the camera orbit around its target in an ellipse rather than a circle on a mouse drag. The tricky part is I already am using some complicated logic to get it easing as well and I need them to work together.
ActionScript Code:
private function upHandler(event:Event):void {
isCameraRotating = false;
} private function downHandler(event:Event):void {
isCameraRotating = true;
previousMousePoint = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);

have been messing around with ppv3d for a small project whereby a ball orbits some text. I would like the path of the orbit to be a visible line with a glow effect on it.at the moment I have a sphere located on an invisible spinning cylinder, with the text in the middle so the sphere orbits it. I've tried drawing lines from one point to another on the cylinder but it's not working.

got another little provlem with flex ... i've made a ellipse and i want to rotate it dynamicly. made a h:slider which change the rotate="" value of the ellipse. and it rotates fine. but the rotation point is in the middle of the ellipse.
i want it at the bottom (y) and middle (x).
there are some transformY and transformX arguments for the ellipse, but they have no effect?
my function
private function rotateRadius():void {
if(wind.selected) {
selected.radiusDisp.rotation = radiusRotate.value;

Let's say I have the following MXML:
<s:Group id="b01">
<s:Ellipse x="267" y="96" width="30" height="28">
<s:stroke>[code]....
And that I have a dozen more of these groups with different ID's. How can I modify the fill color of each Ellipse using ActionScript? I know I can do something like this:
b01.getElementAt(0).width;
And that will give me the width of the Ellipse. But how can I access the SolidColorStroke color or the SolidColor fill?

Trying to draw the top of a screw which is at a slight angle as its in perspective. I've tried doing this with the drawEllipse tool but its doesn't seem to be able to let me tell it I don't want it positioned straight, I want it rotated a little bit. I've tried doing it with curve To but it looks rubbish, but then I have only used 2 anchor points.
