i want to drag a movie-clip from A to B via different positions and on stop drag , the movieclip must go back to initial position ,via the same way traversed by the mouse and with the same speed. i did an example but it's not taking exactly the same speed and i'm not using classes(you will find it attached). i have to use classes in AS 3.0.
View 3 RepliesI have a flash where users drag and drop icons around a matrix to indicate their opinions. I would like to have an option for them to save the positions of the movie clips that they have dragged and dropped so the next time they open it, they are where they left them.
View 5 RepliesI was trying to do an animation where people can move object around and save. then other people, with different computers, can see the last modifications.I was thinking using the sharingObject remote, but does it work with all servers?I read I need a special one, flash development server or something.So, I had the idea to make a script that save the position of the objects to a file and realoading the animation it loads the variables from that file
View 1 RepliesI am trying to use the shared object to save the _x and _y positions of several attached MC's. The attached MC's have all been given a variable name and attached to a dynamically created MC called "world".I need to loop through all of the MC's in _root.world to save their postions to the shared object. Here is what I have tried,.... when I trace so.flush.. it traces to true but the object postions are not saved.......
Code:
_global.initSo = function() {
_global.so = SharedObject.getLocal("marinaSave");
// if the SharedObject object created a new shared object
[code]....
Am I using the for... in method correctly to loop through the MC's in _root.world and save their values?
How can I calculate the next position of a "enemy" if know the positions x, y, rotation and speed?
View 1 RepliesI have a drag and drop game where each movie clip is a word that the player has to arrange on screen in a certain order of importance - there is no snapping mechanism and the user can place the words anywhere desired.
Later in the game, I need this list of words to appear in the order that the player previously organized within a different scene.
This is an example code of how I set up the drag and drop game:
//Array to hold all the puzzle movie clip instances.
var burgerArr:Array = new Array (burger_mc, burger2_mc, burger3_mc,
burger4_mc, burger5_mc, burger6_mc, burger7_mc);

I have thumbs placed on the stage. I create an empty mc to load swf. But my thumbs disappear from the stage when I test the movie ( html or swf) if I settle the _ and _y position of the empty mc.why the emptymovieclip positions affect the positions of my thumbnails?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a simulation where a person can drag 2 different objects to any 4 predefined targets on the stage. Based on the position of the 2 objects there will be a different output text. I hope I described that clearly. I would also like the 2 objects to snap to the 4 targets. Im very new to AS. Im starting to be able to read it a bit but still can not wright it.
View 9 RepliesI've just added in a bubble effect I found here. At the moment the script creates bubbles randomly across the whole width of the stage. I want the effect to only occur between two x positions, say 50 and 845, on the stage. This is the Actionscript I have at the moment.
function bubbles(){
xpos = Stage.width*(Math.random());
xpos = Math.round(xpos);
_root.attachMovie("bubble", "bubble"+xpos, 999+xpos);
_root["bubble"+xpos]._x = xpos;
_root["bubble"+xpos]._y = 299;
} interval1 = setInterval(bubbles, 50);
i want to have the same movieclip showing up multiple times at different locations on the screen. i don't want to create multiple instances just cuz it seems less "efficient", so it'd be neat if there's a way to do this.essentially what i'm trying to do is have a the user see the same movieclip but with different things on top of the movieclips, and if the user does something to do the movieclip in one location (ie: click to change a tile in the movieclip), i want that to take effect in all locations.i could just add event listeners to each tile in all the movieclip to have the same effect independent of which movieclip you click the tile in, but i'm hoping i can avoid this.
View 1 RepliesI have a text movieclip (service_mc) on the stage for which I need to control 4 different _xpositions (_x = 0, _x = -700, _x = -1400, x = -2100) with 4 button mc's (btn_one, btn_two, btn_three, btn_four).
For these four buttons I already declared the Over, Out, Release and Restore stage in a function:

What I like to accomplish is to control the _x positions of "service_mc" with the same buttons. I mean when btn_one is pressed service_mc should go to _x = 0, when btn_two is pressed the _x position from service_mc should change to _x = -700 etc, etc
How to integrate this possibility in the existing function?

I'm adding several similar movieclips to the stage with a 'for' loop. However, I'd like to increment the position of each movieclip when added on to the stage. I know exactly where I want each movie clip positioned as well. At the moment I just have a small 'for' loop which setups the movieclip. Like so...

Although I've just had a thought as I was typing that last bit of code. Will I need to setup a for loop for each row...so the y position remains constant and I just increment the x value for each movie clip, and then repeat this for loop for the next row with the new y coordinate?
I want 3 movieclips to change positions (swap places) on the stage randomly when I push a button and make sure they are always in different positions, so they don't randomise the same way.
cat, dog, fish
position_a,position_b,position_c
position_b,position_c,position_a
position_c,position_a,position_b
then loop and randomize the position they popup in again. So I can just keep on clicking the screen and they always change.
xxxa
xxbx
cxxx
I will have the 3 movie clips on the stage with instance names.
position_a
position_b
position_c

View 5 RepliesI'm not an expert in actionscript but I know a thing or two, but basically I've been given a task in a new web-based piece of software whereby users can drag and drop objects onto a background bitmap. The amount of objects and the co-ordinates of each object will then need to be saved for each user, so when they log back in (regardless of what machine they are using, they'll see where they have left off.)I've seen mentions of using the shared object, but this won't do as the user will not always be using the same machine.

I am new to Flash and Actionscript and am currently working on some code pulled from another post to try and learn from what others are doing or have done. I have created a star movieclip and am attempting to move it randomly accross the stage in a relatively slow speed. When I run it, it moves randomly but way too fast. I have spent the last 6 hours playing with the code, researching help files and also looking up other discussions but nothing seems to be helping. Here is what I have so far. My apologies if the code looks like a hack. This is being done in CS4 if that matters at all. If anyone could shed some more light on how to handle controlling the speed or rate of random movement with some insight

Using the deco tool Ive created a simple fire animation. The problem with this tool is that it wont let me set the speed above 200%. So my idea to solve this was to create a movie clip, use the deco tool there and somehow speed up the playback of this MovieClip.
Stage.frameRate = X works but it changes the frame rate of everything. fire_mc.frameRate = X doesnt work unfortunately.I dont need to it be precise. I just want this MovieClip to play 5 times faster that it plays now.
I'm lost and new to AS3. How to get this code to ease into end point compared to its sudden stop.
CODE:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mcRotation);
var rotateSpeed:Number = 0.003
var oldvalue:Number = 0;
function mcRotation(event:Event):void{
var controller:Number = (stage.mouseX - stage.stageWidth * 0.5) * -1;
var rotY:Number = box_mc.rotationY - (controller * rotateSpeed);
rotY = Math.max(rotY, -90);
rotY = Math.min(rotY, 0);
box_mc.rotationY = rotY;
oldvalue = box_mc.rotationY;
}
I'm looking for a piece of Actionscript 3 code which let's me adjust the speed of a movieclip.The command would tell a movieclip to play at a certain framerate (60 FPS, 30FPS, etc.)The movieclip involves a simple tween so I'm not sure if I should use a different method of tweening (only tween via AS3 code) or use a seperate AS3 script which let's me modify the framerate of the movieclip when it's played.
View 4 RepliesI'm finding in my current project, a need for a method of playing animations (MovieClips) at a speed that is different from the stage framerate. I need to dynamically adapt animations, which i've created natively at 20fps, to play at 10, 40, or any other arbitrary value. Of course frame skip/stall is most likely the only way to do this - that is when playing slowly the animation may stay on the same frame for a number of stage frames, eg 1,1,2,2,3,3 etc.. and when playing fast, may jump over several frames to advance the animation faster (at the cost of a minor loss of smoothness, but that's fine.) eg, 1,4,6,9,11,14 etc. (the size of jumps wouldn't always be consistent)

View 1 RepliesIf I create a MovieClip object, and want it to move with some speed, what should I do?I have read a tutorial which was using "xspeed" and "scaleSpeed" to make the small MovieClip moved, but it seemed that this didn't work in my code.such as Code: Select all rectangle.xspeed = Math.random() * 10 - 5; rectangle.yspeed = Math.random() * 10 - 5; rectangle.scaleSpeed = Math.random() * 0.05; and rectangle is an instance of MovieClip.I wonder if that kind of speed properties isn't in as3, or I made some mistakes.
