Im trying to write the codes for buttons that make a Square rotate faster and slower. I tried hard but it did not work.
how about a slider to control speed of the square_mc. can some1 give me the code.
this is the code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, startRotate);
function startRotate(evt:Event):void {
// Call function rotateSquare
rotateSquare();

I can make a normal preloader, with a bar and percent shown and so on... But I want to make a little thing in the middle of the preloader that rotates faster and faster when the percent loaded goes up. This is what I thought would work:

I've got a simple question. Suppose some simple lib written on c. Did I understood correctly that alchemy compiles it AS3 before compiling it to swf. If so, will the lib be slower or faster in comparison with the same lib written on AS3.
View 2 RepliesI have a dashboard I created using Flash CS5 using CS5.5 and ActionScript 3.It seems that while this dashboard is running, the FPS gets slower and slower over time (over several hours) I am thinking that I might have a memory leak but I am not sure how to find out.The project is a Flash Projector exe that loads 8 independent swfs.Each swf file essentially calls a web service and gets XML dataThey then dynamically create a bunch of TextFields,assigns an event listener (Event.ENTER_FRAME) and animates across the screen.When the TextField goes off the screen, I clean up the Text field by removing the EventListenerremoving the TextField and setting the TextField to null.

Code:
var max:Number = 50;
var size:Number = Stage.width;[code]........
My question is, does a better, faster CPU necessarily equal faster SWF compile times? Or does it rely on something else (OS, memory, etc). I only use AS3 and some of my projects take a while to compile. If certain hardware can guarantee me a faster compile time, it'd be worth including those things in my shopping list.

View 7 RepliesI recently started creating a small banner with a cog positioned half on the canvas in constant rotation and multiple buttons placed on the cog so they spin on and off the canvas. Unfortunatey at a slow rotation something like 400 frames at 25/sec the cog jitters a lot, even more when more buttons are added.
I was wondering if there was anyway to smooth out the tween for a nice non disruptive rotation and if there is anyway to cause the cog to slow down when hovering over a button.I can make it stop completely on a roll over and start again on a roll out but I was hoping for more of a speed decrease and have never worked with altering this before.
I have a movieclip and when I do 3D rotation from Transform panel, It rotates perfect, center is in the middle of image, and when I apply mc.rotationY, rotation center is in left of the image, aren't 3D rotation from Transform panel and mc.rotationY from AS same? what's up?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to do some augmented reality projects with flartoolkit . I can now put simple 3d objects on my marker and it works fine , but I wanna give my project some events that the user can interact with. I'm trying to trace the rotation of the marker. there's a container:DisplayObject3D which my application uses to add the 3d objects , I traced this :"trace(container.rotationZ)" but it's just returning 0 . I studied another AR application's source code and it was using the rotation of it's container object without problem .and I think I should mention that I'm using the exercise file of seb lee delisle papervision3d course from [URL]. anyone has any experience with flartoolkit? the main functions of my my code is as below:

Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the rotation properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the child element it's own axis?I've customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin on the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I've also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of code to hide the left portion of the carousel. The entire carousel is contained within the 'container' movieclip, and inside of that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger item being the item in focus.
On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the viewer (as seen below),basically removing the 45 degree rotation applied to the container.The problem i'm running into is when you rotate the container (changing the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so when i rollover the next item 'in focus', the following happens..(in the example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a rotationX of 0, so it works fine)
Program A has a cannon that aims to line up with where-ever the mouse is pointing, in 360 degrees, and fires when the mouse is is clicked. Program B has an eye instead of a cannon that should in theory do similar functions when the capslock key is toggled, but instead only has a 90 degree range of motion from the Right of the eye toward the bottom (quadrant 4 only). Where did the ther 270 degrees of rotation disappear to?

i.m trying to create a 3d rotation much like the widely used carousel only the rotation i desire consist of four upright(90 degrees) movieclips resting on a slanted, 30 degree plane which rotate onEnterFrame or following a tween on a oval like path - then pause for a given number of seconds at the four movieclips positions equal in distance on the plane
function around() {
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;

View 1 RepliesI have employed two different methods to embed an flv movie in webpage, but both result in studdering because the movie catches up to the buffer. I can't figure out what is wrong... is the frame of 30fps rate too high? is my method of embedding the files and playback wrong? Or is it just a function of the viewer's internet speed?

i am making a game involving a number of balls that move across the screen. Everything works fine and dandy when I play the SWF on its own, but when I load it into another SWF, animation become increasingly choppy with time.
View 1 RepliesI have a simple application where you can sort isometric boxes on a grid. It works just fine but the more often you apply changes (i.e. click on a box and drag and drop it) the slower the app gets. After about 10 changes it has something like a 5 second delay in response and becomes completely useless.
As long as I stay on the first MOUSE_DOWN it works as fast as it should, but speed decreases with every click. Strangely CPU-levels will always return to near zero when I stop doing things in the app and always go up to the same level when working, so I do not think it that there is some procedure I call while dragging and forget to close again (I also checked this about a hundred times in the code).
Basically I think it must something with the most basic event listeners that look like this:
Code:
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropElement);
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragElement);
function dragElement(e:Event):void{
currentElement = currentDropTarget = previousDropTarget = Kiste(e.target);
currentElement.alpha = 0.5;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, whileDrag);
}function dropElement(e:Event):void{
currentElement.alpha = 1;
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,whileDrag);
}
I also checked if my "whileDrag"-function keeps running but it doesn't.
I am trying to do a simple "pseudo 3D" rotation of a movie clip. The clip would "flip" on to the screen. I have created the effect using PaperVision3D, however, the final SWF is about 64k and my project requires a smaller file size. I tried to create the flip effect manually by creating skewed versions of the clip and tweening between them, except this doesn't work because the shape is not tweaked along the vanishing point as it should be. It looks like perhaps I could accomplish what I want to do using the MatrixTransformer but I've not had much luck so far.

View 2 RepliesI have an issue with how Macs play timeline animation slower than PC. On the PC the animation plays right and syncs correctly with the music.
I have a tree that grows, when it finished an axe chops it. The tree finishes and the axe starts chopping the tree at exactly 30 seconds into the song which is exactly how it is meant to happen.
Syncs right on PC but on Mac, the tree finishes and the axe starts chopping at 50 seconds into the song.
During the tree animation, I also have some other swf movies loading in the background so that it is preloaded and ready to go when required because I am trying to prevent any delays or the chance of a preloader from appearing when these swf needs to start playing.
What is causing the Mac to have a slower animation. I do notice in general than Macs take longer to play an animation than PC on a browser.
Is this just natural or do you think the Mac and PC difference caused here is due to me loading swf movies into the background?
What are my options to make the sync right. I can not make the animation actionscript based, so I am stuck with timeline based animation.
I think music streaming would be the best solution here. Right now, I am triggering the music as an event, but I am worried of the stuttering effect using streaming music, while my animation plays and swfs are loading in the background and the viewer has a slow PC.
I was in the middle of developing a Flex applcation, and then I recently switched from Windows XP to Mac. My app is noticeably less responsive on my Mac than on Windows, and today I proved it's not a hardware issue, because I ran the App on my Mac and a Window XP on Virtual Box side by side, and IS much more responsive on XP. Things like repainting in response to window resizing, selecting/unselecting list items, scrolling up and down(I do have complicated list-item-renderers). Has anyone seen this as well? Is flex/flash just not as well supported on Mac? Or are there tweaks I can do to improve performance on the Mac?

View 0 RepliesIve been working on a game on and off for a while now. I've been extremely conscious with the performance because in my book a slow game is worse than no game at all. I even wrote a profiler class so I can really pinpoint any slow code. All this time Ive just been testing the game in the Flash CS3 environment by hitting CTRL+Enter. And everything runs quite smoothly.But today for the heck of it I actually published the Flash and ran it in my browser using the generated HTML file. In the browser everything runs slow as hell! The animation is extremely choppy, and sounds play up to 1 or 2 seconds later than theyre supposed to. This is absolutely unacceptable! Ive tried it in Firefox3 and Internet Explorer 7, and both are very slow compared to the Flash dev environment
