Looking for any info on how to determine the overlap of two shapes created with AS3, and preform the usual shape manipulations on them, like combining the two shapes together to create a new shape, punching the overlapping shape out of the underlying shape, or creating the intersecting shape from the two objects.
View 5 Repliesim making a game for a site and i need to kno.. well, how do u make one punch button, but when ur facing the other way it punches that way...i think i need and if(frame=27) for example, but i dunno the code for the if frame is code
View 4 RepliesI have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?
Not sure how best to put this into words Ddoes the depth manager always keep one on top of another, or can planes intersect, overlap, go through one another?
View 1 RepliesI need to determine if a ray from a point (point and angle or vector) which goes to infinity intersects a line segment (two points), and if so, what direction it crosses (left or right.)I've been searching around on google but haven't had any success implementing the math solutions.I'm trying to do is implement the winding fill rule described here to determine if a path is clockwise or counterclockwise.
View 2 RepliesI have been playing around with the fmx2004 drawing api. I am drawing a complex shape and all is well but I would like to make the lines smoother. I haven't been able to find a smoothing function but I am working on a custom solution using the curveTo method.
I have to be able to calculate where two lines intersect. i have their slopes and two points along each line, so now all I need to do is calculate their intersection. I can do it on paper but not in flash

View 5 RepliesActually my project is about dynamic readjusting of nodes i.e. let say if you have 15 nodes( assume point objects) and suppose lines are drawn between any randomly selected two nodes,then the corresponding figure obtained should be readjusted that no two lines should intersect except at nodes.
View 8 RepliesI have a MovieClip that has four circles on the stage. Each circle draws a line to the other three circles. I'm trying to figure out how to find the intersect point between all of the lines. If there is no intersect point, then the circle in the middle should become the intersect point. I've uploaded the SWF here: [URL].
Here is the code for generating the lines:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.geom.*;
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
public class IntersectTest extends MovieClip {

I created 2 separate swf files. One is a slideshow and the other is an interactive tool. I have have also converted these two files into a flash projector so as not to worry about plug ins that customer may or maynot have.I have another file right now which is the menu flash file that has buttons pointing it to the flash projector individual files. Since these are exe files, once the customer clicks on it, it will warn that it is potentially harmful and they have to click "run" in order for it to show.

We are trying to build a game in flash with AS3 (Im no pro with this)I've got 7 Movieclips and 7 Buttons.none of the 7 Movieclips should be on stage, they only appear when you've clicked 3 of the 7 buttons. once these 3 are clicked 1 of the 7 Movieclips should appear.Now I've got the code to make 3 selections and make it show 1 movieclip.and I've gotten the code to make a random movieclip appear.My question: How do I combine these two to make them do what's supposed to for the game.[code]

View 1 RepliesSet 2 MovieClips on the stage each having a rectangle in it which have different colors. Put them one over another and apply to the top one some blend mode that shows some visual difference. Ok so what I need to do now is grab the bitmapData from both and redraw it into a single MovieClip, so what I need is to merge the 2 bitmapData, which worked fine without a blendMode, but I can't get it to work right with blendMode[code]...

I have this website with a white fade in / fade out menu. I'm trying to get the menu to be a little more visible. Because the menu is in white font, and the images it pops over occasionally have a white background, this creates a bit of a problem.
I created a large movie clip that fits the stage width and height. I'm calling it 'bg'. The idea is when one rolls over the 'projects' menu, the bg movieclip fades in to dim the whole file except for the menu. I'm setting the alpha of bg to 0 intially, so that it can fade in using TweenLite when the projects mc is rolled over, and fade out when projects is rolled off. I would just do this all using alpha if I could, but here's the problem: in order for the screening to work over the entire file, it has to also work over my externally loaded swf and it's gallery buttons. When the bg mc fades in and tints everything, it gets infront of the buttons and you cannot access them. So... I need to combine the alpha fade thing with turning the bg visible on and off. Is there anyway to do this both at the same time? Right now I either get nice fades, and the visibility not doing anything, or nice fade ins of the bg, and then an abrupt change when visibilty goes to nothing on roll over. [code]...
I am a 3D Designer and I also want to learn Flash. give me some links or books because I want to learn that code , which is behind the design. I don't know the terms, I think is actionscripting and I would like to learn from start . How to combine code with design. I can follow some tutorials and copy the code from those tutorials but like this I will never learn to make what I want.
