ActionScript 3.0 :: Calculating Position Of Rectangle Corners
Jan 14, 2010i'm in the middle of attempting to write my own collision detection algorithm because the built in 'hitTestObject' function seems to be incredibly inaccurate (it's registering 'hits' when the objects are still a considerable distance from each other).I need to be able to calculate the position of each of the 4 corners of a rectangle, based on its rotation. Obviously one of the corners will simply be the rectangle's x and y coordinates. I have made a little test program to make sure I am calculating the positions of the corners accurately - it works when the rectangle is rotated to 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees, but produces strange results for any other angles.[code]
View 7 RepliesFlex :: Calculating Position For Rotated Image
Aug 5, 2010I have a couple of images, representing tents, that look like this: The red and blue parts on each side of the tents are doorways, and several tents can be connected together via these doorways. For example, I want to connect the two blue doorways so that they match up like in this picture: If the first tent is stationary, around which point do I rotate the second tent and how do I calculate where to place it?
Currently, I have the upper left corner of each doorway as an x and a y value, together with the width and direction (in degrees) of the door. I'm treating the doorways as one dimensional, so they don't have heights. Would another representation suit this better? Perhaps a start point and an end point plus direction?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Record The Current Position Of Any Of The Items Item In Order To Use That Data To Change The Position Of The Item After The User Clicks?
Jan 2, 2010If I have several items that move across the screen but the user can click any of them at any time, how do I record the current position of any of the items item in order to use that data to change the position of the item after the user clicks?
This is what I am doing: I have 11 images that slide accross the screen. The user can click any of them at any time. When he clicks one I am scaling the image so it looks like it is comming forward (z axis) and then the rest of the images are scaled down so it looks like they are going back on z axis. So what I am trying to do is get the current position of the image when the user clicks the image so that I can use that to correctly estimate the scaling and moving of the image to make it look like it scales from the center and not from the top left corner. So if have a variable that gets the current position of the image being clicked I'm thinking I can change its position using something like: x = currentposition + -45;
Android :: Calculating An Angle Using The Law Of Cosines, Given 2 Points And Calculating 1 Point?
Dec 27, 2011I am developing a game for mobile in AIR (as3). I have created some bots for this game that initially just wander around. But when a bonus enters the stage, they have to move to the bonus.The detection of a new bonus and moving of the bots works fine, but there is something wrong with the manipulation when a new bonus enters the stage.Basically, this is how it works (or I try to make it work):My bot moves along with his rotation as a parameter. (works fine)
private function moveToNextLocation():void

View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Visibility, Order And Position Of Dynamic Textfields Inside Movieclip?
Dec 16, 2010this concerns flash cs5 and the timeline.Everybody knows the effect you get when you use appendText() to add text to a multiline dynamic textfield, right ? Well, I have a movieClip as a container, and I would like dynamic textfields to populate this movieclip in the same manner as textStrings would populate the dynamic Textfield.
How would this work?I have buttons that trigger addChild() function so as to populate the movieclip with textfields, but how do I make sure that the textfields make up an arbitrary list as a menu user chooses which buttons to click?
Let's say this is the visible text when the swf runs.(I cut away some of the code to make this more to the point):
var buttonTrace:TextField=new TextField;
addChild(TextClip.buttonTrace); buttonTrace.x=0;
buttonTrace.y=0;
buttonTrace.text="Breadcrumbs";
Now for each time I click a button in the menu I've made, a new textfield appears with the name of the button. This is how I want it. BUT......... How do I control the display properties and positioning of dynamic textfields within a movieclip ? How do I control persistent visibility, and how do I make these textfields appear one after the other in the order they were clicked.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating An Order Form For Flash Site - Results Of The Order Sent To A Pre-specified Email Adress In A Certain Format?
Aug 17, 2004I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?

Arrays :: Drawing Boxes With Different Colors Than Adjacent Boxes?
Jul 27, 2011I'm making a program that draws a grid of boxes and the color of the box must be different to those adjacent to the box. My code compares the current box's color to those to the left and top. If any of them matches, it picks another random number (as the color). For the tiles on the first row/column, I make my grid's array indexes with negative numbers -1 so that it will not match.
What I have:
private function fillArray():void {
grid = new Array();
grid[-1] = new Array(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1); //paddles the grid[-1][0 to 4] with -1
for (var i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {

Flash :: Calculating Distance Just From Speed?
Jun 17, 2011I'm creating a drag based control in Flex / Flash, similar to a film strip, where an individual can swipe horizontally to scroll through the items. To make the control feel a bit more natural I've added some inertia to slow the scrolling once a swipe has taken place. When first loaded up there will be five items in view with 'x' numbers of items to scroll through with the 3rd item centred and selected.
My problem though is that I want, when animating, a swipe gesture to determine whether an item will end up the middle (3rd position) and adjust its movement calculation accordingly so it docks with the 3rd / centre position. Imagine you perform a long swipe, it flys pasts 'x' amount of items, but as it slows to a stop it elegantly stops with an item centred / in the 3rd position. To do this I believe I need to determine the distance to travel just from the speed value (as time is irrelevent to the user experience, i.e. a longer / stronger swipe would justify a longer animation skimming through the items).
At the moment I'm invoking the animation routine (with inertia) in the ENTER_FRAME event when the user generates a MOUSE_UP event. When they do this, I obtain the speed of drag (by monitoring this beforehand) and then decrement this speed value on each call of the ENTER_FRAME event until it reaches an appropriate value to stop the animation.
Unfortunately all the speed calculations I've seen deal with Speed and Time to determine distance, I just need Speed. Admittedly, my knowledge isn't strong in this area so I might be missing the obvious.

ActionScript 3 :: Flash - Calculating Frame Independent Acceleration?
Jan 17, 2012I have a 2D side scrolling game (made with ActionScript 3) that runs at 60 frames per second. I'm trying to make it frame rate independent so it will run on slower devices.
To do this I create a var called timeElapsed by calculating how many milliseconds have passed between each frame and dividing that by 16 (60 fps is about 16ms, I think.) So that at 60 fps the result would be about 1. Then I times any time related vars by this number (e.g player.x = speed * timeElapsed;) This is the code:
private var oldTime :Number;
private var defaultFrameRate :uint = 16; // the default frame rate in milliseconds
private var timeElapsed :Number;
[Code]....
As you can see, at 30 frames per second the player is moved further in the same amount of real time. What seems to be the issue is that, at 30fps in frame one, my current code doesn't account for the slight difference in speed between frame one and two at 60fps. I thought of getting the average value of speed between any two frames at 60fps and using that to calculate a more accurate value when the frame rate changes but I got the feeling wouldn't work correctly in some other situations since at 60fps for example, it would move the player by 115 and not 110 pixels.
Is their any way to accurately simulate an object accelerating in a way that is frame rate independent?

Flash :: Using Boxes For Hit Collision?
Jan 31, 2010I am trying to use boxes for hit collision. I want to be precise with the collision so I was thinking about making multiple small boxes and checking for collision that way. This maybe a stupid idea or a smart one. If I do this way will that affect the performance of the game even though the boxes are invisible and wont be drawn on the stage.
map out the object starting from its center outward. Like right, left, top and bottom. I am creating a flying shooter so the plane has a long wing span. I could also map out the wing span and tail and so on.
Flash 10 :: Possible To Not Select Bounding Boxes?
May 31, 2011I'm trying to animate a simple stick figure just now. I used an inverted triangle shape for the body,which gives a nice width to the shoulders. Unfortunately, flash doesn't seem to realise that it's a triangle. Due to it's stubborn way of drawing a rectangular bounding box around every shape.
This is getting in the way a lot, as there are parts of figure which are clearly not blocked by the torso, but are blocked by it's big square bounding box, which makes it a nightmare to drag the arms and legs around to where I want them
Is there any way to fix this silly behaviour, and have it only select an object when I click on a visible part of it, and not just anywhere in it's bounding box ?

It doesn't work half the time, its horrible but it - just about - does the job. I have been tasked with replacing it. I would like to bring in CKEditor or TinyMCE but when I do I have 2 major problems.
1) Pre-existing HTML messes up the display in TinyMCE due to its invalidity (I can solve this.)
2) The TinyMCE HTML breaks the flash template because of the valid HTML.
