Im working on a racegame Actionscript 3. When the car is moving I want it to rotate the wheels. The problem is, is that I have 2 movie clips in 1 movieclip (front wheel and backwheel). Is there a way to code 2 center rotate points?
View 1 RepliesI am making a small tool for making simple T-Shirts designs. Everything is perfect except that I don't manage to rotate an item the way I want. I am makeing everything from ActionScript. When I load an image on the design it is added to the stage. I have an object called "ImageView" that extends MovieClip. It has some properties and some methods (ex kill() that removes the object and all associated listeners). In this object I also add the image that is loaded from a location. When I click on the item another object "Transformer" is added on the stage. It surrounds the ImageView and adds some controls for rotating and scaling the image.
My problem is when I rotate the ImageView. It rotate according to (0,0) (obviously). What I want is to be able to rotate it according to the center of the ImageView. A solution is to set the picture inside the ImageView in such a way that (0,0) is the center of the picture. But I try to avoid this since it will cause some problems (that will requiere more coding) at "TextView" (a class that has text instead of an image).
I can do it on pen and paper using a compass, but can't do it in Actionscript 3.As the title says, essentially I need to find the centre of a circle using multiple points from the radius.

How can I write a script so that the mouse location in relation to the y-axis of a specific MC will trigger something?

View 1 RepliesI am looking to add a print job to my flash presentation. I have the basic code and can get it to print, but I have to manually set the printer to print landscape and the image is in the top left corner. If it was just for me it wouldn't be a big deal, but a lot of our presentations go to lawyers and judges so we would like to streamline their results as much as possible. Is there a way to tell it to rotate 90 degrees and center itself on the page. Below is the code I am using. I tried to use some parameters to set it for landscape, but they don't seem to work. My doc size is 720x540.[code]

A simple motion tween rotating the image will only work if the object is perfectly round, so distorting the object to make it more straight or curved won't work with a simple tween. I want to do exactly what is happening here (with my own object), is there some AS3 behind the scenes here making this turn on a center point?

I am curious abut two things... 1. Instead of a Bar at the bottom I wanna use a MC that will rotate in the center of the stage... With one half acting as a paddle, and the other side being a game over or life over side...
2. Also with the MC in the middle i want to use the arrays to make a pattern or whatnot *grid* around the middle move clip, so there is only one way to die and that is from the ball MC hittin ghte backside of the middle mc?

I'm working on a project where I have to load multiple movie clips and center them on the stage.
PHP Code:
loaded_clip._x = Stage._width/2;loaded_clip._y = Stage._height/2;
Unfortunately, in this case that doesn't cut it. The move clips I'm loading all have different registration points, and they end up looking anything but centered. Is there a way to center them based on some other factor other than the registration point, so that they look centered?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to basically make an arrow in the middle rotate till it points at the button you rolled over. Each button gives a value for "rot" when you roll over it. 0 degrees is up. I dunno if that's important or not. It's probably always up = 0... heh. Anyway this is the a/s for the "arrow" in the middle. It's instance is arcpoint. Here it is:
[Code]...
I know some of this stuff could probably be shortened but this is how I got it working so far. The problem is the second half of the a/s. The part where it picks a direction clockwise or counter. If it goes clockwise (which I had it working fine at the start) it points at the button fine.But the problem kicks in when it tries to go clounterclockwise. It will always pass the button and point down and flicker back and forth.
Edit: Ok I'm surprised people are even looking at this at 1 am but thats beside the point of this edit. I think it has something to do with the else if statements conditions overlapping so that's what makes it wiggle back and forth. Then again I could be wrong. I'm trying to analyze the conditions but my brain hurts and it's early (or late...).
I have a round movieclip ( like a ring or clock ) and i want to press and drag it to rotate it around it's center ( AS3 ). I tried hundreds of ways but none of them works perfectly. I think i miss something in trigonometry and flash's rotation concept.
View 8 RepliesI'm not the swiftest when it comes to math, but usually I can figure out through trial & error how to modify AS. For the life of me I can not figure out where this AS gets it clockwise rotation, so that I can change it to counterclockwise.

this.rotation_speed = 2;

I've got this simple code here:
this["recipe"+i] = new recipelistname();
this["recipe"+i].buttonMode = true;
this["recipe"+i].recipeid = i;

The problem is that the movieclip rotates around the center. The textfield inside the movieclip is starting at 0,0. But it still rotates around the center, how can I make it rotate at 0,0?
I need to make a MovieClip rotate around it's center point to the left or right depending on mouse drag. I got some basic semblance of what i want going, but it's pretty hackish. Normally i calculate the angle and such but i only really need to use the distance the mouse travels and apply it to the movieclip and for flavor add some nice easing when you let go.

So I have that panel or any other mxml component. I want somehow to rotate it around like a wheel of a car with which you drive it... loke a Racing wheel... sow like when mousebutton is down it captures pont of component... when you move mouse component rotates (not moves) according to new mouse position... How to rotate MXML component round its center like a wheel respectfully to mouse?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
I have a center window and a background in my flash file. I am trying to get the center window to stay in the center of the web browser screen and get the background to expand and fill the entire web browser screen below center window layer.

My flash movie is 1440x900 but the area where all the important stuff happens in within 1024x768, i am trying to keep the middle in the center regardless of browers size or aspect ratio.
I can center the page but it doesn't work as i need it to. If the browers is small (1024x768) the swf is justified against the left edge, but not keeping the middle in the middle of the brower.
[URL] is an example of exactly what i am trying to achieve.
I am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...
