I know you can restrain an mc in a rectangle when using startDrag, but is there a way to have the mc only go horizontal or vertical without going off diagonally? Sort of like a slider that can only move in a straight line in four directions (like a cross).
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to produce a game that on mouse down a dotted line (or just a line) gets dragged out following the mouse until it is realized then it disappears.
View 1 RepliesI've managed to follow some drawing tutorias which work fine (mouse down draws a line everywhere you move mouse like MS paint).I would like to adapt this now if I can so that when a user clicks down, a straight line will follow their mouse until they click again and this releases the straight line. This should leave one line on the screen, then they are free to move their mouse and repeat the action again.
View 6 RepliesI'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.
I've followed the drawing api tutorial off here for MX and have got that working perfectly. I would like to adapt this now if I can so that when a user clicks a straight line will follow their mouse until they click again and this releases the straight line.
View 2 RepliesI have this code inside an ENTER_FRAME event. I'm trying to move the "ball" from its x- and y-position to a tartget x- and y- position:
Code:
if (processClick)
{
if (ball.x < targetX) ball.x += 8;
if (ball.x > targetX) ball.x -= 8;
[Code]....
But the "ball" doesn't move in a straight line, I think it is because the x- and y-movements are processed independently?
Is there a way thay I can make the "ball" move in a straight line from the starting point to the target point?
Also, is there maybe a way to manually create a tween between the starting point and the target point using actionscript? If I export the "ball" movieclip for actionscript?
I am very new to actionscript 3.0 & currently i have a project to do that required actionscript.
ActionScript Code:
package{ //package
import flash.display.Sprite;// for sprite, to prevent 1046 error code
import flash.events.MouseEvent; //for mouseEvent, to prevent 1046 error code
import flash.display.Shape; //for shape, to prevent 1046 error code
public class gridDrawLineTesting extends Sprite //for mouseX mouseY
[Code] .....
This is the code that I have found from various web and paste it into one. I want to draw straight line & snap to that point at the same time. My problem is when I click at 2nd point, there is a 'extra' line at (0,0) joining towards my 2nd corrdinate point. I want to get rid of that 'extra' line.
How do you make an MC travel in a single straight line (not two, not three, only one) according to mouse position and current position?

View 5 RepliesI am trying to move a playing card across the screen from the deck to the players hand. The deck is in a stationary position and each player has 2 card places in front of them which are also stationary. The deck is a movie clip called "deck" and the player cards are named "p1c1" and "p1c2"....(player # card #). The animation I am trying to accomplish is to duplicate the "deck" movie clip and move it to the players card. Once it reaches the players card, the stationary card will load the card image and the duplicated movie clip will be removed to make it appear as a smooth transition.

View 1 Repliesi am still new in dealing with flash and what have you posted is very useful, but i want to ask you a question regarding the button function. i want to relate a button with a certain text but it's a big paragraph so when i have made the example on the site the display in the output box is not good enough i want the text to be displayed as a paragraph not a straight line.
View 1 RepliesYou can assume that the first image below is the original Gaussian curve. The second image is the desired output. I have these equations:Equation of each red line segment (let's call this the piecewise function f(x))Equation of the Gaussian curve (g(x)) am trying to make an equation that can alter the Gaussian curve to match the curve in the second image. I have tried plotting (f(x) + g(x)) / 2 (last image) but it doesn't do the trick. I have also tried using the red line segment on far right as the independent axis for plotting the right part of the curve but that leads to a huge discontinuity.

View 2 RepliesI am totally new to Flash. I want to be able to draw a line and then be able to click on it and drag to change its length.
View 2 RepliesI would like to drag an object in one line. I already know how to do this in a horizontal or vertical line
Here's how I do this
private var handle:Sprite;
private function init():void
{
handle = new Sprite();
[Code].....
But I want do drag my object in a line that isn't horizontal or vertical.
For example, I would like to drag the object from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, in one straight line.
I tried to rotate the bounds rectangle, but it seems that you can not rotate a Rectangle.
How do I drag an object in a non-vertical (or non-horizontal) line?
I have just started using Flash and I tried to make a game where you click and drag to draw a line. If that line hits the enemy, the number in a text box to the right should go down. When I slash at the enemy, and it hits him, he gets damaged, but sometimes, when I don't hit him, he still gets hurt. Download the attatched file and try it out.
