How I might use actionscript to place say 100 small MC's on the stage in a circle? I assume I would need some sort of trigonometric function, but my math skills are a bit rusty...
View 1 RepliesSo I can create a circle and an oval using trig in flash. But what if I want to create an oval with rounder points? I'm using this code for circles and ovals:[code]Could anyone help me in editing the code so i can control the tips of the oval and make them rounder?
View 9 RepliesI want to create circle, and put 8 points on it. So, user can drag each point in order to change it's shape.
Is there any way to do this in flash?
I have some following code:
Ref. - How to draw a continuous curved line from 3 given points at a time
package{import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Point;

So, can anyone convert these three point curve line to 8 points circle?

I'm drawing a path in Flex using Spark:Path.

I tried creating a mask using a Shape object but couldn't quite manage to create a mask that has a circular hole in it.
Let's say i have a simple app where on mouse move user draws a shape. What i am trying to accomplish is to detect if drawn shape is circle so was wondering what would be the best or easier way to do that?
I believe i should do some math based on every drawn point X,Y coordinates but i need a push in right direction from more experienced people around.
I want to make an editor like this site. [URL] If you browse this link you will find "Button. If you press this button you will navigate to a editor to design your layout. After draw a rectangle or circle or line you can resize that or can rotate that. When you finish if press the "you will back to the previous page where your desinged layout display. If you press the "" again then you will navigate the editor with the previously designed layout. I want to make a site like this. I want to use the flash cs4 to make the editor. Anybody knows how to draw a rectangle or circle shape with mouse and how to scale by setting the point and how to rotate by setting the rotation point also by using flash cs4 and as3?.
View 3 RepliesThis should be a bit of simple geometry: How do I calculate the points to draw the lines in the code below so that it makes a 2D cone or wedge shape?
import flash.geom.Point;
//draw circle
var mc=new Sprite()[code]...........
UPDATE:I should have mentioned my aim is not to draw a wedge shape, but to draw a line from a random point to the edge of an existing circle.If you're more comfortable with algebra than actionscript,
I'm just starting out with AS3, so I'm trying my hand as some of the more basic drawing functions, to try and get a handle on them. The problem I've hit is using 'curveTo' to create a smooth curve is creating some very poor aliasing results. Here is an example: [URL]
The first part (which is actually on the right) is a very simple curve from 50,50 to 100,100, through 100,50. I would have expected the end points of the line to be single pixel width, but it's aliased over two pixels.
The second part (on the left) shows why this is a problem for me. I'm trying to draw a basic shape outline with a semi-circle at the top, but it really doesn't look great (it looks shifted half a pixel to the left relative to the rest of the shape).

I've created a circle and I need to draw equal separated ticks along ityou know like in a humanscale analogue machine.
View 5 RepliesI need to create a circle dynamically in as 2.0, i.e., when i drag the mouse downwards the circle should get bigger and when i drag the mouse upwards the circle should reduce smaller according to the radius of the circle it should resize.
View 1 Repliesi am makeing a poker type game. and i have come a lil stuck. i have 8 players around a table. i have a player class that creates a new player when a button is pressed. the prob is io can get all the players cards x & y pos in lines like on the same x or same y axis. but how would i make the cards deal around a table. would i have to work them out and write x & ys for each player or is there another way?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple shape in my case a circle and make it "grow" on mouseMove. I found a way to do it, but I have a problem I can't seem to fix, and that is, that, I do make the circle grow but then have all the other circles behind it.
I want to make the circle grow and then delete it's "older" instance so that it's only one circle on screen, not a million circles behind it. Here's what I've got to work (makes a circle, then keeps growing as I move the mouse over the stage... although it will leave a trail of all the other circles "growing"
Code:
function mouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if(mouseDownFlag == true){
xpos1 = e.localX;
[Code]....
In java I had a "clear" function that kept on deleting the old circles as the new circle grew...
I have an idea of a game in my head and I wan't to get somekind of functional demo of it done in flash (CS3). I've looked everywhere but couldn't find tutorial for it, as I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm not that good in Actionscript. I'm now trying to describe this problem. On screen there's 4 rectangles, 2 in a row. So it's 2 rows with 2 rectangles in each. between all of them theres 4 circles. If I activate a rectangle with mouse and use arrow keys to rotate it smoothly 90 degrees, 2 nearest circles rotate with it. And same thing happens with all of the rectangles.
So I'm looking for somekind of solution where rotating an object also rotates every circle around it. and when circle rotates 90 degrees with rectangle as it's center point, it can be also rotated with another rectangle. I think I can't explain this clearly?
Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?
package com {
public class CreateList extends MovieClip {
//this is the object I will be recycling
private var newProperty:PropertyRow;
//this is the array I will use to reference the objects

I'm trying to create a shape tween, in which I use the envelop transform. Somehow, when I change the position of the points on the left side of the object, the object rotates during the shape tween; if I change the position of the points on the left side, everything goes the way it should be. I recorded the screen while displaying the problem, I hope it is clear this way: [URL]
View 3 RepliesI'm currently working on a little practice .fla file I've been working on. What I have now is an altered version a 'game' I made recently. I wanted to see if it was possible to create a new instance and color by having the user drag the object into the black (target) area. In short I want the user to drag one of my shapes (movieclips) and while keeping the original shape in place, move the copy version into the target and have the copy change to a different random color.
var counter:Number = 0;
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveObject);
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,releaseObject);
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,moveObject);

I am trying to start with a circle and have that circle gradually become a spiral, but I only want the shape to tween from the end of the spiral, rather than the whole shape itself, is there a way to do this without frame by frame animation in Flash CS5?
View 1 RepliesCan it be done in flash with some of the glow filters? Or is this probably being created in something like After Effects or Motion and then being pulled in as JPEG StillsI've looked through some tutorial sites, but most of the animation tutorials are pretty basic... and I'm not sure what to really call the effect...making searching for tutorials or forum posts a bit tricky
View 5 RepliesThe bug is where when I shrink a simple circle, it appears to have somehow been altered to the point where the curves are no longer completely circular. Object becomes jagged, then when I bring the the object back to its original shape using the scale tool there the shape is no long a perfect circle.
View 1 RepliesI want to shape tween multiple objects on the same layer. When they are placed independently from each other all the time on the canvas, I have no problem to make them morph into the other shapes in the ending keyframe.
However, when some of the objects are crossing each other in either the starting or ending keyframe, they don't morph smoothly but quite funnily. Funny phases are nested between the intended starting and ending tages.
See the images below. What should I do to prevent this?

View 1 Replieshow it is possible to create an input box for the user to type their text and make the text appear wrap around a circle dynamically and the radius of the circle can also be changed dynamically?
View 1 RepliesOne thing that's really frustrating me about Flash is that the info panel doesn't display real-time width or height values.So if I'm drawing a rectangle, I can't just draw it out as do in Photoshop to say 400 X 200. I'll need to set this manually after I draw a small box.
View 2 RepliesI am making some animations with shape tweening. I actually need it for my presentation.There are five layers of almost same shape of objects. The first two layers and shape tweening works as I expected.But from third layer, something weird happening. As I do shape tween, the layer becomes two moving objects: one is acting as I wish, but the other same object rotaing in x-direction.

i am creating 10 Circle movie clips dynamically and giving each of them a width and height random from 1 to 50, I am creating these CELLS to react to eachother in an environment that I create, well anyway everything is going good but this, SPEED
i would like the smallest cells to have a speed of .05 and from then on the larger the cell the smaller the speed, Every ... property i guess you could say... of the cell is proportional to it's width.
I'm developing a game atm, and I need some help on the mathematics/coding of colliding circles (and their change in x/y speed). What i need to know is how to calculate the direction and speed a circle has after colliding with a static (non-moving) circle. I know how to detect a collision between the two, but I'm not sure about the maths I need to give the circle the right speed and direction after the collision
If i do know how far away the two circle-points (in the middle of each) are to each other (in both x and y coords) would it be easy for me to find the new speed and direction of the large circle in the example above? I know that I somehow should use the angles to pretend the circle hits a flat "wall" (as it only hits one point), and then calculate the new speed/direction. My only problem is that I'm not sure how to decide the angle of this flat "wall" and how x and y speeds should change when colliding with a wall that is angled. Does anyone here have any insight, links or tips on how I can du this?
i want to make one circle follow the mouse cursor, inside another circle. Similar to an eye looking at the cursor. Ive attached an example.
