ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Get MovieClip To Face Mouse

Sep 17, 2009

I'm making a top down shooter and I'm encountering some interesting code lag with the function I'm using to make the player face the mouse.

Code:
//The function is called through a ENTER_FRAME listener.
//mX & mY are the current position of the mouse.
public function facePoint(mX, mY){
if(this.visible){
this.rotation = (-Math.atan2((this.x - mX),(this.y - mY))) * 180 / Math.PI;
}}

If I hold down two movement keys and then spin the mouse around the character really fast, it builds up some kind of buffer that sends the character out of control for a few seconds, even after you've released the keys. Just discovered that reducing the quality to low removes the issue entirely... so its a graphics problem. How to avoid this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: MC Rotate And Face Mouse With Tween

Oct 24, 2010

I'm trying to get a MC to rotate to face the mouse using tween:
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicks);
var tween:Tween;
function clicks(e:MouseEvent):void {
var dx:Number = mouseX-mc.x;
var dy:Number = mouseY-mc.y;
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;
tween = new Tween(mc,"rotation",null,mc.rotation,angle,5);
}
While this works fine, there are certain clicks which make the MC pick the longer route to rotate.

Oct 5, 2011

Working on a maze game. When the leftkey is pressed the movieclip (char) should turn 90 degrees to the left.

char.scaleX *= -1;

However, the most important thing is that the character doesnt go through the walls of the maze.And I think thats my problem for implementing the code above.Because it doesnt work properly when i put in here;

Actionscript 3 :: Move Movieclip Position Opposite Of Mouse Coords On Other Movieclip

Jan 26, 2011

Okay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.

I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Put Each Face Into It's Own ViewportLayer

May 22, 2010

I have the project where I need to use papervision3d engine. It's 3d model of building. Each floor is separate .dae model embedded within swf file. Everything is okay regarding performance, but z-sorting of BasicRenderEngine is making me sad. If you take a look over attached image you will see that sometimes wall faces appear above cover and backwise, cover faces appear above wall. Each floor model was made with Swift3d by path extrussion. It has two types of material: one for wall and another for cover. Is there any way I can go through all faces and regading material applied to it assign them ViewportLayer and sort index ?

I tried to use QuadrantRenderEngine, it does correct z-sorting, but is CPU killer.

How To Replace Face / Image In Animation Like On Elf

Aug 31, 2009

I am making a simple Flash animation that I would like to put online and let people visiting my site upload a picture of their face so they can be the character, like on Elf Yourself. How do I do that? I'm assuming I make the animation with a square image of a face that I mask out, and the image gets replaced when a new one is uploaded, but I don't know how to set that up dynamically, or if there's a better way.

Flash :: Using A Webcam To Put A Face On A Character?

I'm trying to accomplish something with flash but I'm having some problems, if not a solution I'm hoping someone can tell me a method and what I should read up on to do this: I want to have an image on the stage that has a gap the shape of a face in the middle of it, I'd then like to put a webcam feed behind it so people can line their face up in the gap and press a button to take a picture. (I've managed to put the webcam on the stage and take the picture but can't work out how to put it behind an image). Then I cant quite work out how I'd put the face onto a character I've drawn.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Font Face Won't Change

Oct 21, 2009

I'm trying to get my font to change when clicking a button.

The text field itself is inside a movie clip called draggabletext. The inside text field is called tfield, and is dynamic with a var: output2. It renders as HTML (but doesn't have to if you have a better solution). It gets its text from a different input field.

I have a "dropdown" menu with 2 buttons (instance names arial and georgia).

On the root I have this code:

Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
draggabletext.output2 = "<font face="" +textface+ "" color=""+textcolor+"">" + inputBox.text + "</font>";

[Code]...

I have embedded the fonts. Still, I can not get the text to change between the font faces when I click the buttons.
