I have been searching the net for a tutorial how to graph functions. I found one from Barbara Kaskosz, very detailed, and too much scripting. Too much for me. Is there another way or place to learn, or I am doomed, and have to face the music and study her stuff. All I want, is to be able to graph a simple function.
View 4 RepliesI'm fairly new to Actionscript 3, I'm creating a simple bar graph. There are 5 movie clips relating to years {mcYear0, mcYear1, mcYear2, mcYear3, and mcYear4} then there are 6 bars in each year representing animal population (all the animal movieclips nested in the years are named the same from year to year, so mcFrogs in mcYear1 is also mcFrogs in mcYear2). When you roll over an animal, I want a box to pop up and populate that animal's population over the years. I'm not worried about populating the box but for some reason my code to make the box pop up on the animals is only working on the last year (mcYear4).
Here is my code:
mcYear0.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear2.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear3.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear4.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
function HOver(e:Event) {

I'm completely useless at maths due to paying no attention whatsoever to it in school when I was a kid so forgive my lack of knowledge of basic terminology.I need a mathematical function that will return a number based on a graph that starts at 0, curves to (eg.) 100 and then curves back down to 0. I have a feeling it has something to do with Math.sin or somesuch wizardry but am not sure.Basically, I want to feed it a number between (eg.) 0 - 60 and for it to return a number on aforementioned curve. The purpose of this is to be applied as a lateral force on some basic ball physics. The idea of the 'curve' is that (depending on timing of the shot) there will be a 'sweetspot' in the timing.

I thought I would share a simple pad string function I created briefly... I know that there may be other similar functions already out there but I decided to make it anyway. It's basically a ripped off as3 version of the str_pad() php function.
Examples:
trace(stringUtils.stringPadLeft('7',4,'0','left')) ; // Traces 0007
trace(utils.stringPadLeft('whatever',2,'~','left') ); // Traces whatever
trace(utils.stringPadLeft('hi',20,'-','left')); //Trace ------------------hi

Well I'm so close to understanding why this doesn't work. First here is the code:

stage.addChild(gameZoneContainer);

For each product a label is created determing its category unless a label of that category has already been created before. My while loop is supposed to stop the same label being created twice but apparently it doesnt! My function consists of an array of categories (kategorie[]) and an array of labels that were previously created (previousLabels).

function bigPic(e:MouseEvent):void{ new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleX",Strong.easeOut, e.currentTarget.scaleX, (e.currentTarget.scaleX * 1.4), 4, false);

I'm modifying an mp3 player by flabell, and try to get some buttons to work. However, I can't seem to get the getURL to work, even though it works in other parts of the script. This is my code:
mc.rate1.onRelease = function() {
trace(this.ID);
getURL("[URL]","_blank");
};
The trace goes through fine. Here is the code that works:
Code:
private function downloadRelease(mc : MovieClip) : Void {
var title : String = mc._name;
var index : Number = Number(title.substring(title.lastIndexOf("n")+1,title.length));
getURL(songsSource[index], Main.getInstance().mcAlbums.linksTarget);

i've tried searching the forums and fighting with this way of fading the movie clip in and out. The movie clip has an instance name of "box", my brother also can't figure it out.

if(box._alpha >= 100){[code].....
basically i have a mc that i want to use as a button.
frame 1 is the initial state with a stop() action on it. frame 10 is the full rolled over state, also with a stop() action on it, and frame 20 matches frame 1.
so basically i want the button to animate frame 1-10 if they rollover, and animate frame 11-20 when they roll off. i would also like it to detect the current frame, so like if the user rolls off and rolls back on at frame 15, it will play backwards to the mouseover state (frame 10).
create a button, create a movie clip with two frames.
place a button instance in frame 2.
place a mc instance on the stage.
create another instance of the button to change the movie clip instance to frame two.
the button in the movie clip is pressed and executes a function.
here's the code
Code:
// create the button to show the button!
_root.button_instance_2.onPress = function() {
buttonClick1();
[Code].....
if, however, i use the same code on a movie clip that has only one frame it will work fine. do i need to tell the function to target the button instance any more specifically than that?

I am trying to index a series of movie clips with their own unique index number for accessing through AS3. The example below is what I would like to achieve, when a user clicks on Topic1, I can trace back the index of 1, when a user clicks on Topic2, I can trace back an index of 6:

I made 5 buttons on the stage. When these buttons are clicked I want to show AND hide items related to the buttons. Is there a way to "toggle" a simple button so that when it is cliked the first time it shows the object, clicked a second time it hides the object using the same function? In other words, is there a property of a simple button that changes state?

I am trying to combine TweenLite with some of my own functions. Now for testing I have this:
Code:
function playGeb(indG):Void {
if (indG < 8) {
clearInterval(restartG);
gebArr[indG].play();
[Code] .....
but after the arrow is in place the function hello() isn't been called.
I already tried adding, onCompleteScope:this
TweenLite.to(arrow_mc, 0.3 , {_x:118,_y:30,onComplete:hello , onCompleteScope:this});

Its so that a menu will move right across the screen if the variable is true, and if its false, it'll move left back to its original position.... i achieved this using a motion tween and telling the mc to go to the frame and play, but that didn't work in the end because if the menu bar was on the left side, and it was told to move to the left, then it would disappear,and appear on the other side.... so in other words it screwed up

I want to make an interactive gizmo to explore 20%. so I want a little slider and a red (20%) and a green (80%) bar so that when I slide the slider to different numbers - lets say between 1 and 100 I get a graphical representation of 20% of the number selected as well as the actual numbers? so at 50 red column is 10 green is 40. at 100 red is 20 and green is 80?
I could just have a MC with different frames and select a few numbers to highlight and fake it.
I'm doing a FB app with the Graph API in Flash. I've got everything working which consists in uploading some images created by the user in the app. The only part that I'm missing is how to tag these photos as with the Graph API it is not possible.
So I was wondering if it's possible to call a method of the REST API even though I'm using the Graph API.
