I am new in actionscript 3.I want to make a rotating vertically cube with images from an xml.Cube will rotate to a side,stay for a while then rotate to the next side and show me the image for a while too and continue.In each side I want to pass a url so when I click the side-image to direct me to a website.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an image rotator in flash that is powered by XML that just continually rotates through the images (fading into an image and fading out, and then fading into the next image, etc).I've managed to load the XML file and get the location of the image files for each image:[code]and I've managed to load the last image in the XML into a movieclip by putting this line:imageHolder.loadMovie(myImage[i].attributes.image); under the var imageURL = myImage[i].attributes.image line.I can't work out how to:
1. Display one image at a time instead of just the last image in the XML file
2. Fade in and out between each images (I was trying to use Tweenlite to do this and think I can get it to work once I know how to do the above point)
3. How to continually repeat through all the images.
I want to put a flash banner(slider) to show a bunch of products iteratively. And I want it to allow interaction so the user can interrupt image looping and choose what she wants to see and what images to show how long it will be shown should be configurable. I already googled for 'flashe banner / slider' but with no luck. Is there any open source projects that can offer this kind of feature? Or tools that can help me to create one.
View 2 RepliesI want to create an image rotator that looks similar to the one in the upper RHS of joinred dot com. I'd like it to have images that are a bit bigger than the one on that site. However, I like the thing about them coming in from the right, as well as the effect, being a bit distorted and then becoming clear.
View 1 Repliesi need to do something like the swf file am attaching instead of the cube revolving... i need to draw my own image. how to bring this effect in flash. as if now, i have created the cube rotatoin in swift 3d and have exported it as a swf file. also can we draw our own images in swift 3d? (instead of the readymade cube?)
View 1 RepliesI am a web developer (CF and ASP.net) working on a new project. I toyed with flash back around the beginning of Flash MX around the early 2000's. Basically I am looking for direction on this -- I would like to have a small flash movie that displays a collection of pictures with some sort of transition. Ideally, I would like to pull the image paths from a database and rotate through them at some time interval. This seems like something that shouldn't be too difficult - and I am sure it has been done thousands of times - I am surprised I cannot find more information through google searches. Maybe I am not keying on the correct terms!??!? Anyways, If anyone could provide some direction - I am hoping that I can pick it up with a little push. Having not touched flash in 7 or 8 years, I am kind of stuck getting started.

View 2 RepliesI've found this xml driven banner rotator here on Kirupa from Mr. Daytripper.It's great (with preloader, xml controlled transitions, speed, urls) but I need to be able to add additional control with a 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 buttons that would jump to image 1, 2, 3 or 4 and maybe pause/play.I've added the buttons but don't have any idea how to control the arrays/variables.
I'm attempting to make it like a standard banner rotator like you might see on the homepage of Target.com, Bestbuy.com, but honestly the code is a beyond me.

A cube that will rotate automatically .Images from XML will be shown to each side of the cube and each side to have a url so when you click on it to redirect you to a website.More specific, something like this might help you understand more clearly.. 3D Cube Banner Rotator in the activeden(I can't post a URL yet).Without texts,shadows etc.

I have the 3D rotating cube. Each panel of the cube is an image pulled in through actionscript. When you click on one of the panels, the cube straightens itself to show only the face you've clicked on. This is all great. However, I want to be able to click on that face again and have it link to a URL. This is where I get lost.
I feel like I'm ALMOST there - I've gotten it to work so that I can click the panel and it links to a URL, but right now every panel links to the same link. I haven't figured out how to make each panel link to its own separate URL. Here is the portion of code in my .FLA where I've added the linking action:
Code:
setupFaceAction = function (cube) {
for (var i = 0; i<cube.faceArray.length; i++) {
var face = cube.faceArray[i];
face.onPress = function() {
if (!cube.fading) {
[Code] .....
This is the line I added to make it link when you click the panel after it's facing forward:
Code:
cube.getURL("[URL]", "_self");}
So I assume I need to set up some sort of array so I can have multiple links that correlate with the appropriate image. To make it clearer, I've attached all of my files, so you can see all the code. You'll find actionscript in the .FLA and two external actionscript files. I think "cube.as" may be where I need to do the work.
I am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish. The only rotators I can seem to find have external XML/image files, etc. All I want to do is create simple SWF's that I can use to display rotating images preferably is a smooth and stylish manner. Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?

So im opening it up to the commuity as a programming challenge!!For something which i assumed would be very simple, writting a robust and solid multi turn spinner handle for flash in as3 has become the bane of my life.Feel free to download my attempts so far (attached), which cover the basics of a single rotation, and make it look like im further ahead than i actually am.The difficulty lies with the very specific things I personally need the spinner to do,and the fact its SO HARD to explain..Its actually used to control a piece of animation that is 72 frames long.I need the first "lap" of rotation to send the playhead to frames in the 1-36 range and the second rotation to send it to frames 37-72. So two full spins would take it to the final frame, one full spin would go half way to frame 36.
Problem is the rotator handle needs to be locked at the initial position, so a user can't drag it backwards to start with but can drag it backwards once theyve moved forwards. (think of turning on a hot water tap, many turns in one direction until it stops fully on, then the same turns back again to reach the original start position of fully off)I also need the rotator to be able to be used in anti clockwise and clockwise modes.The ideal is to be able to set the total number of animation frames to be controlled and the number of rotations required to reach the final frame, then have the spinner work everything else out for me.
I'm trying to create a Rubik's Cube in Flash & Papervision and i'm really stuck here. I'm up to the point where i can rotate any plane of cubes once, but after that...it's messed up because all local coordinate systems are messy.I dont really know where to go from here, can anybody give any advice on what do do? I'm not looking for 'read about transformation matrices', i know i should (and i am doing that), but i'm not really sure what to look for.My idea is that, after each rotation, i should fix each coordinate system of each cube again, but i have no idea how. Any hints on what i want to achieve (in words)

I just made a new Flash project. It lets you move a Cube, with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Code:
function hearKey(yourEvent:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT){
cube_mc.x+=5 };
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT){
[Code] .....
It works perfectly fine, except for example: I press down the down key. It moves down (good so far). I keep pressing the down key down and also press the left key down. Now it moves left(not so good, I want it to move both left and down, how do I do that?) Now I release the left key but am still on the down key. Nothing happens....(I want it to then continue going down).
I created this Rubiks Cube with Papervison3D. With some resources I created a Cube with 27 minicubes inside (3*3*3 = 27). Rotating the Rubiks Cube on mouse move is already done. (I do not rotate the camera.) All the behavior of a Rubiks Cube is in there already. But I'm a bit stuck in the final phase.
When I play with it like I would do with a normal Rubiks Cube it's working ok, besides I know that the default Euler rotation values aren't reliable anymore after a while. What I need is to rotate the Rubiks Cube to the selected side and after that rotate the Rubiks Cube over the z-axis so the minicube face faces up. I prefer to animate it with TweenMax but I'm really stuck since I need quaternion rotations.
I know the selected face of the Rubiks Cube itself. I know the Euler rotation of the Rubiks Cube using Matrix3D.matrix2euler(_rubiksCube.transform); What I need is to rotate it to the selected face for instance when the current rotation is x: -20, y: 35, z: 10 and I select the back face of the rubiksCube it must rotate to x:0, y: 180, z: 0.
What I need is to change this to Quaternion values and rotate the Rubiks Cube to the new Quaternion value. After that it must rotate the Rubiks Cube over it's z axis to face the selected minicube face up. This is the code I use when dragging/ rotating the Rubiks Cube

I'm trying to draw a 10x10 grid with Actionscript 3 with a vanishing point behind - so each square looks like it's coming towards the screen (each from its own relative perspective). I've found many tutorials for 3D perspective cubes, but they all revolve around movement. Surely static shapes must be easier, Is there some way I can use PerspectiveProjection() in my case where it doesn't involve movement? It looks to be exactly what I want, yet seems reliant on movement. Or are there any other methods for 3D perspective object creation? I'd prefer to use internal AS3 functions if possible. The closest I've got was this tutorial, which I could likely apply to my situation, but I want to make sure there's not an easier/cleaner way before attempting it.
View 1 RepliesWhat is the best technique to apply anti-aliased text as texture on cube using papervision3d?
make dynamic textfield, convert it to moviematerial then apply it to the faces of cube. Design a bitmap using any picture editor and make a bitmapFileMaterial to apply on faces of cube.
I am having some problems with the away3D library. I want to apply a bend to a cube using AS3DMod, but i can't seem to get it working. My cubes kind of get mutilated when i want to bend them :p they bend to all directions and i can't seem to find a pattern in the bending.

Using Away3D, I've successfully displayed a cube. So far, if I want to display a texture on each side of the cube independently (different textures on each side), I'd have to put them all in one texture, kind of like a sprite map. Is there a way I can do this so I can apply a different bitmap to each side of the cube? Here's my code so far:
[Embed(source = "texture.png")] private static var _texture:Class;
var texture:Bitmap = new _texture();
cube = new Cube(new BitmapMaterial(texture.bitmapData),240,240,240);
cube.material.smooth = true;
cube.material.mipmap = (texture.width == texture.height);

I'm having a strange issue with an incremental rotator. Using Tweener, i just want a square to rotate by 15 degrees each time the stage is clicked. This works perfectly until the rotation get larger than 200. At that point the square spins a full loop before landing on the correct location. All I'm looking for is to have it be +=15 from where it currently is.[code]
