View 10 RepliesI have a method that takes a "distance" and "angle" parameter. How can I take the angle parameter to get x and y values, and incorporate the distance into that?
I am assuming that I would have to do something with a right angle triangle.
I have some texboxes which I need to stay a fixed distance away from another object at an angle.so I need to say textbox_mc position is 10 pixels away from my_Object at an angle of 35 degrees.The angle is changing and the object is moving, I think I can handle that if I know how to position by angle and distance.
View 7 RepliesAs of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.
Working on a small kiosk app that runs in Firefox for Ubuntu. Mouse.hide() works for everything else, but the cursor is showing up in Firefox for Ubuntu

View 2 RepliesNot sure this exist, but worth asking you all: is there a built in method to compute the distance between the current mouse position and a given component? If not, is there a simple way to build a function like this that works for components with generic shapes?

how to get angle of mouse its very simple.use this Script (copy and past in your file). A sample file which runs only on CS4 is attached.

View 0 RepliesI created a movie where I have a circle in the middle and a line drawing from the center out when the mouse moves. I want to calculate the distance from the mouse position to the middle of the circle. What I am going to do is have a sound playing from the center of the ball..The closer you get the louder the sound gets and the further away from the middle the quieter it gets. You can download my fla to see what I have so far.

View 3 RepliesWhat I am trying to do with AS3 in Flash cs4 is calculate the cursor's distance to given point (let say 400,300) and use that distance to constantly (20 fps) change my curtain's alpha value. (which is basically a box turned into a movie clip) [code]...

The problem I see with this is that the invisible mouse will quickly move out of the movie and stop tracking.Has anybody dealt with this before? I'm sure I saw a flash toy somewhere that trapped the mouse inside a box, but can't find it now. :(
ok so i have been trying to detect the mouse angle.. kinda figuring it out on my own to learn new stuff and get a better understanding of actionscript, but ive kinda run into a problem i cant figure out.ere is the range of angles i get

I can't work out how to do this, but this is what I have so far..
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
radians = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x);
degrees = (radians/Math.PI)*180;
_rotation = degrees;
}
How would I make it so that it can only point between 0 and 90 degrees?
How can i calculate the mouseX distance from an MC?
i'm using this:
Code:
enterFrame event {
var d1:Number = pi(mouseX,dist0.x);
var d2:Number = pi(mouseX,dist4.x);

What code would I apply to a movie clip to make it rotate on one end according to the angle (location) of the mouse.
