The actual seek to the cue points breaks i.e does not happen throught. if its previous it goes to the first cue point. if its forward seek it breaks n goes to the first frame after a few seeks.
Basically I'm using the curveTo function to draw some lines for flight paths, what I'm not sure how to do is dynamically finding the curve points, so for example if you look at the ryan air site: [URL]
current_line.graphics.curveTo(curveX, curveY, map.mouseX, map.mouseY);
I need to find the curveX and curveY

Here is the actual class file. You can directly compile it with an fla file containing button instances in the library for play pause stop... Also you would need some sample flv file.

I have a world map on which I display some data. I read long and lat coordinates for two countries from an XML file which is updated with different coordinates everytime. I then map the coordinates to X-Y axis using some projection method.
So, I have x-y coordinates for two countries. I wanna draw a curved line between those countries but curveTo method draws the curve in one shot. I want to animate the curve drawing part so it looks like it is being drawn real time.
I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
Is it possible to insert cue points into a video on the fly ala the addASCuePoint() method in the FLVPlayback component?
View 7 RepliesI have a component (link to Test class) which contain one line in it, and I put one point of this line to (0, 0).
Then drag it to Flash(fla), and get its Shape in AS3 like:
// in Test.as
// assume that the movie clip only contain one line.
var line:Shape = Shape(getChildAt(0));
And I can get one point of this line which is x and y of var line. But how to get another point of this line?
Edit:
Ignore component stuff above, here has another question but I guess it pretty much the same as the question above:
Draw a line from (0, 0) to (10, 10) and draw another line from (10, 0) to (0, 10), how to get those lines of two-point form in AS3?
If I access them as Shape then I get two similar shapes which have same x, y, width and height values. Does AS3 has some way to access line as a REAL line not just a shape? or does it has any way I can calculate it out?
I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

Is there a way to plot multiple data for the same value x? For example following points:
[1, 1], [1, 2], [1, 3], [2, 6], [2, 9], [3, 11], [4, 11]...
I'm looking to work out the most efficient way to maintain the joining of two points with a line in AS3. Basically, I have a whole bunch of circles that move around, and have a property subNode which will act as an end point for the line. At the moment, the way I'm doing it is extremely intensive:

I understand that Flash supports subtitles with cue points and XML files for flash video. First, I don't know if that would work for a flash animation, and second, I'm looking for a much simpler solution. I am more than willing to manually add and time my subtitles myself on a new layer. What I need help with is finding the simplest way possible to make these subtitles toggle-able. Why? Because I seem to have a serious allergy to ActionScript, and though I can master programs like 3D studio Max and After Effects, I seem to screw up even the simplest of Actionscript jobs.
Is there some way I can make a button that simply makes my subtitles layer invisible across the whole thing? Maybe a command to change the font to a blank one, or to move the titles off screen? There has to be SOME sort of trick that won't require me to drop a load of code into each instance of text. I'm currently using Actionscript 3.0 with Flash CS4. I'd also love to have a pause button that would also stop any music or sound effects that are playing, but after struggling with that for years, I seriously doubt that's going to happen. I did google this subtitles problem, and search flashkit first. Nothing but VIDEO subtitle stuff, and I'm almost positive it wont work the same for a regular animation.
Is it possible to draw a path in flash, and access the points from AS?For example if I have a map and I add hidden paths along various roads, I then later want to animate traffic or growing lines along these predefined paths from code.
View 4 RepliesI've got a flash animation of an extruding box drawn frame-by-frame for a "hand drawn" effect. The problem is that I now need to make twice as many frames to allow the box to extrude twice as far, and the canvas is too small to support this; the box would end up outside of bounds. I've tried resizing the canvas, but the extended space is at the opposite end of the canvas from where I need it. In photoshop you could chose where the added space "grew from" but I don't see that option here. Anyone knw a work around It'd be a pain in the tail to have to move very object in every frame for every layer.

View 5 Repliesimport flash.geom.Point; I am trying to write a game using the new Vector class. Then Vector will be composed of flash.geom.Point (s). However, when I try to use the concat funtion to return another vector with a series of Points added to the end of the vector, I will get: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.geom::Point@bce8901 to __AS3__.vec.Vector.<*>. at Vector.<*>$/castToThisType() Action script is saying that I am trying to convert a vector to Point to a vector. I do not see how this is the case. In the example below, I have declared adjoiningPoints to be of:var adjoiningPoints:Vector.<Point>;
When I call path.concat( myNextPoint ); I get the above error. In order to troubleshoot the problem, added the additional lines declaring 'iAPath'. When I work with the arrays everything works fine. The arrays are entirely populated with points and there is no error.

how to get Javascript in an HTML page containing an FLV video to listen for cue points in the video? I understand how to get the cue points in, but most people only seem to want to handle the cue point events within Flash. I want to use Javascript to display a different text in a page element at each point. Does the method vary depending on what player you're using? How about when it's the standard Flash playback component? Does there need to be any special Actionscript in the SWF containing the FLV?

I have an array of points that I will use to generate a closed polygonal fence on the outside of a game stage (2D). I wish to have collision detection between this fence and a bouncing ball-like object on the inside. Additionally, I would like to be able to arbitrarily add/remove/redraw the fence in realtime and have the collision detection still operate realistically. I have considered drawing a Sprite/Shape from the points and doing a HitTest at each frame to check whether to bounce or not. My question: is this the best/correct way to accomplish this goal? Consider something like JezzBall with diagonal lines of any angle a simulation of what I'm trying to do.
View 2 RepliesI want to create a simple array of points, representing a clockwise set of coordinates at 45 degree increments, such that the array would be (starting from 12 o'clock):
var coordArray : Array = [
new Point(0,-1),
new Point(1,-1),
new Point(1,0),[code]........
I'm looking for the most efficient way of creating this array (ideally with the coordinates themselves generated through some sort of equation). What's the best way to do this? All I want to do with these is create a coordinate on the stage relative to the clips current coordinate in which to move, based on that clips, such that if the move distance for clips was 50px, and the clip had a depth of 0, it would move 50px in the coordArray[0] position, or 0*50 in the x direction, and -50px in the y direction (0,-1).
I'm having issues with drawing a circle. The code seems to work for drawing all the required segments except one, but tracing the points of the drawing looks correct.This is the class that generates the segments:

In flash, I use lineTo to draw a line between two points. This is working well, but I'm finding that on slower computers, the line is jagged because not as many mouse events are firing.I want to 'smooth' the line out, to add more points in between each point that the mouse registers:
The black lines show the result, the green ones are what I want. The red dots are actual points, and the green ones are interpolated.I have tried to code this myself but I can't seem to get it right, here is the code anyway:
var interX:Number = lastMouseX+(lastMouseSpeed.x/2);
var interY:Number = lastMouseY+(lastMouseSpeed.y/2);
//Also tried: lastMouseX+(this.mouseX-lastMouseX)/2;
// also jittery

the result is much more jagged than the normal one.
Is there any easy way to get a path (a sequence of points) from the flash IDE into actionscript code?for example if you want to draw an outline for a gameworld that you want to use as collision object and now in AS3 you'd like to get the vertices of that path you drew.
what i did so far was to create a lot of dummy movieclips, place them on the vertices of the drawin path and call them "dummy01","dummy02","dummy03" and so on, and then in AS i iterated over the children and rebuilt the path that way
I am developing a mini flash game. Player control character and move left and right to collect money coin. There are 5 points that money and bomb release and move from top to bottom. When character collide with money then increase money else hit bomb age increase by 1. Once the age is 99, the game is over and the money is the final scores
Here is my code:
package Class {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
[Code] .....
This is my Game:
Currently, the bomb and money random appear X, 100 with 15 money and 10 bombs in a screen.
What I want is, how to amend it become money and bomb appear from specific point, after that the money and bomb when hit the wall will bounce back.
An example similar game play with my game is [URL].
do you know where I can get a customizable video player with cue points for Flash, written in AS3?
