Image Working As A Scrollable Map (all 4 Directions)?
Dec 31, 2011Ok, so I got this huge image of a map. I put a Mask over it so it will fit on a small screen. But....I want users to be able to view the whole map but click on arrow buttons that will transfer them in all 4 directions. I know I can do this with keyframes, showing different parts of them map each stage....But isn't there a simplier way? Some sort of actionscript code that will tell flash to scroll how many pixels left or right or up or down? And that it will know that the image will stop here so don't scroll more than that?

Apr 24, 2009I've a got bar (songBar) on which it will appear the artist and the song name (artist_txt). What I want is when the title_txt width is larger than the songBar.width, the text to scroll from right to left, and when the tween is finished to scroll from left to right (all this tween has to be a loop). If the width of artist_txt is smaller or equal to the songBar.width then artist_txt is aligned in the center of the songBar. All I'm trying to code it's just what you see in winamp player.
Code:
var textTween:Tween;
if (mp3player.artist_txt.width > mp3player.songBar.width){
textTween = new Tween(mp3player.artist_txt, "x", Linear.easeNone, mp3player.songBar.x, mp3player.songBar.width - mp3player.artist_txt.width, 1, true);
} else {
mp3player.artist_txt.x =(mp3player.songBar.width + mp3player.songBar.x)/2
I don't know how to reverse the tween when it ends, how to create the loop and how to stop the tween if the else statement comes into play. i don't want to create the animation on timeline, all I want is code.

Flash :: Google Maps Api Directions Failure 400?

Does anywone know whats the problem here? I'ts driving me crazy just because its working locally but not online.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotating Circle In Both Directions Using Buttons
Oct 20, 2010What I have is a circle image (for this purpose lets say it looks like a clock). For example: when you click 3 o'clock, the whole clock needs to rotate around with the 3 o'clock btn at the 6 o'clock position (with the pivot point in the centre). each of the 'time' positions (2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock ...etc) needs to be a button and thus be able to rotate around to the 6 o'clock position. This would seem simple enough by just using a .rotate value or using tween movieclips...however the tricky part is:
The actionscript needs to determine which way the clock turns (anti/clockwise), dependant on where the clicked time-btn's position is. it needs to be some sort of if statement that says: If (3'oclock-btn) is positioned between 0 degrees (being original 12'oclock position) and 180 degrees (original 6 o'clock position), then rotate clockwise to the 6 o'clock position. If the (3o'clock btn) is positioned between 180degrees and 259 degrees (12 o'clock position), rotate anti-clockwise to the 6'oclock position.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get The Chainsaw To Only Flip Directions When Dragging It
Aug 26, 2006ive been making real simple ads for my friend for about two months now slowly getting more and more detailed but this one i tried alot of new stuff and am getting a lot of new problems. ive searched for the answers and found close stuff but havent been able to adapt it to what i need. Problems:
1. im not sure how to get the chainsaw to only flip directions when i am draging it.(i tried what i could think of but my bag of tricks is small)
2. i found the code to spawn the zombies with random numbers of each and speed but im not sure how to get them on a repeating path after their there.
3. i need a way for the hittest to register once then stop to allow me to play to death animation and get a count of how many have been killed to trigger the clicktag.(i dont have an animation for that so the currently turn black to show their out.)
4.i dont know how to do the hittest on the spawned zombies and they are also ontop of the saw. im sure there are more problems i havent found yet but these are the ones i could think of right now. also i may be adding alot of info you dont need but im trying to be thorough.

Jan 5, 2011I have a Cube which I want to rotate using mouse motion. So if I move my mouse to the left it rotates as if rotationX was increased. When I move right rotationX is increased. Moving Up and Down alters rotationY.
This looks fine as long as you modify only one dimension (either rotationX or rotationY). But if I have already changed rotationX and then try to modify rotationY the results are weird. If rotationX is 180 rotationY effects are reversed. It basically is quite unpredictable and certainly not suitable for user.
I have tried to look around (failed), read about quaternions (couldn't understand), tried some out of blue and very complex trigonometric calculations (made a fool out of myself) and so I am stuck now. I've found this SO question Best way to translate mouse drag motion into 3d rotation of an object but it doesn't help me a bit, I can't understand any of the answers, really.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Making A Sprite Move In Directions From A List In An Array?

When i push the play button i want i want the sprite to move either left or right according to what commands are in the array. My code just seems to play one single command and then stops when i hit play again it just repeats the same command.
Is there any way to make it play through all commands in the array one after another?
Here's the loop that i was trying to use.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Function - Movie Move In Random Directions Instead Of The Glass Shard?
Apr 2, 2005I am making a game that involves a function that makes a bottle randomly explode in all directions. The function is on the main frame of my game and is linked to several movie clips inside the bottle. When the conditions are right, the movie clips should call the function and then fly out in random directions. The problem is, when i put the code directly onto the movie clips it works fine, but when i attempt to use it as a function is makes the entire movie move in random directions instead of the glass shard. My only guess as to why this happens is because this '_this.' command somehow applies to my main frame because that is where the function originates.

Oct 24, 2010I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.

Aug 2, 2010I have a rollover and rollout effect in my for loop that affects all of the mcs in my array. But when I click on one of the mcs I want all of them to "explode" in all different directions. Obviously I would accomplish this by setting it up in my tween so that they all go in random directions. But I'm not exactly sure how to do it in my for loop. The way I have my onRelease function set up right now only makes the very last mc tween. How do I make my tween affect all of my mcs?

Actionscript :: MovieClip Replacement That Converts An Existing Imported MovieClip To A Sequence Of BitmapData
Jun 22, 2011I've written a simple MovieClip replacement that converts an existing imported MovieClip to a sequence of BitmapData. This removes the requirement for Flash to render vector data in the MovieClip on each frame.
But BitmapData has a huge memory footprint. I've tried converting the BitmapData to a ByteArray and using the compress() method. This results in a significantly smaller memory footprint. But it has proven impractical. For each redraw, I tried uncompressing()'ing the ByteArray, then using SetPixels to blit the data to the screen, then re-compressing() the frame. This works but is terribly slow.
So I was wondering if anybody else has an approach I could try. In Flash, is it possible to compress bitmap data in memory and quickly blit it to the screen?
I wonder how native animated GIFs work in Flash. Does it uncompress them to BitmapData behind the scenes, or is frame decompression done on the fly?
