ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A MovieClip Move Along A Curved Line?
May 1, 2011
I created a character that can move left or right according to keys pressed by the user. (simple enough)But the most I could do is make it move along a straight line, (change X value)or along inclined lines by defining them as linear functions. (not very effective i guess)My question is, is there a way for me to draw a line and have my character walk across it?Is there something that would allow me to get the Y value of a curved line I drew based on its X value?Obviously this wouldn't be a problem if I could just draw a line from a mathematical equation, but my searches proved that to be rather complicated.

As the topic indicates, i'm trying to create a curved path and make a movieclip follow that path up and down with a bit of rotation.
This could easily be done animating the timeline, however I need this to be done through pure AS - as when I mouseOver the MC, the MC need to stop and go to the top. [url]...

I want to 9 scale the line in the shape of 'U' so that i can increase the width in a manner that the rounded corner of the line not got spoiled and I also want to resize (in proportion) it without spoiling it's rounded corner. Right now I have done it in the distinct files but I want to do these both properties in a single file.

Any idea on how to curve a line and bend the texture along with it?I tried lineBitmapStyle with curveTo, but that doesn't bend the texture.I was thinking of using a for loop to draw the curve using lineTo, and using a matrix to rotate the lineBitmapStyle...but it isn't working out to well.

I need to attach a series of mcs to a curved line. These mcs are attached through actionscript with the attachmovie code, they do not tween, just attach at intervals one after another. Its hard to explain i know. When the user presses a button on the screen the first mc appears at the start of the curve, another press attaches another mc perhaps 10px inwards on the line and so on.

Any way to get a curved line to draw from a known point a to a known point b. Point b will always be changing and will be in any position around point a. I can work with an existing line from a movieclip and change it somehow, but right now I can't find any way to accomplish it.

I want to be able to position a series of movieClips along a curve of a cicrcle, well part of it. Basically I need a curved wall.
This is where I am at the moment, ...not very close.
_root.rot = -30
for (var i:Number = 1; i < 6; i++) {
var block = attachMovie("block", "block_" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth())
block._y = 30

Here's the effort simply displayed: http:[url].....it uses curveto to show the arc of a doorswing.I'd like the drawn arc instead to appear/trail along the leading edge of the door _as_ the door swings open. Guide Layers AS2 led me to tweening AS3 class but the beginning and end objects weren't right. Am I in the wrong place? This seemed somewhat straightforward but perhaps I'm searching for the wrong keyword(s.

I am trying to draw a continuous curved line in flash. There are many methods but none of the ones I have found so far quite fit my requirements. First of all, I want to use the flash graphic api's curveTo() method. I DO NOT want to simulate a curve with hundreds of calls to lineTo() per curved line segment. It is my experience and understanding that line segments are processor heavy. Flash's quadratic bezier curve should take less CPU power. [code]...

I'm trying to make a simple for loop that makes a line move. But it won't work, and when i search for "for loop" it gives me all these dynamic things that are WAY over my head.[code]The way i see it, the i should increase by 1 each time the loop is run, and then the line will move up by 1 until it is at x = 0 (it starts at x = -77). But when i preview it in flash and html, nothing happens at all.

I'm wondering how I would go about making a Mouse Trace, on a line that's preset but my choosing to let people enter into my Flash and/or progress throughout it. Basically, I have a picture of say, the number 5, I want to be able to have people use the mouse cursor to trace the 5 from one end to the next, and once completed the sites move forward. Though, I will be using my company logo which is a bit more advanced than a single number or letter form. If no one is sure what I'm talking about I've added a picture to demonstrate what I'm trying to do. Another idea I have if this one can't be accomplished, is a slide bar.Basically, it would look like a timeline control in say, VLC, and I would have the user drag a button from one side to the next to unlock and move forward. Though that may seem a bit more simple that my main idea, I would also like to be able to get really advanced with this second function and make a series of slide bars, say, 3, and they have to be slid in a certain manner, like slide bar 1,3,2 then it unlocks and moves forward.

I'm trying to simulate the coriolis effect and have managed to create a drawing application that lets the user draw on a rotating movie clip. However, I would like to now create an animation that automatically draws a line onto the movie clip which ends up being curved, but I can't figure out how to convert the x, y coordinates of the pixels on the stage to the corresponding x, y values of the movie clip. Here's what I have so far:

I'm trying to make a movieclip move slower at a certent place in my movieclip. This means, that the speed needs to be lowered when e.g. showing af picture. Here is the situation. I have a movieclip running different pictures. E.g. the first runs for 115frames and fades out. Instead of runing 115 frames i want the movieclip to run 5 frames (picture fading in) and the stops or delays for 10sek and then goes to frame 6 from where the picture fades out. Where in the movieclip should i place this Action Script?

This may come across as beginner stuff: I'm working In ActionScript 3.0. I have a MovieClip called FloorStatusChanges and within it are two MovieClips called Floors and StatusChanges.The MC called Floors contains Three wireframe-looking floors(each floor has it's own MC).The MC called StatusChanges contains three buttons that have the Instance Names of FirstFloorButton, SecondFloorButton, and ThirdFloorButton.Within the FloorStatusChanges MC, I've set up a motion tween for these wireframe-looking floors to move into and out of the stage so that upon clicking one of the buttons in StatusChanges it would, in theory, cause this motion tween to happen. It has stop(); commands between every motion:Within the StatusChanges MC, there are 4 layers. 3 are for each button consecutively and 1 for the Actionscript. This is how they look:Here's the set of actions I've given for the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
SecondFloorButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SecondFloorSelect);
function SecondFloorSelect(e:Event){

I mean i need to make a text to follow a curved line, something similar we have in photoshop. How do i make that here? I need to write a 3 words sentence which will be placed above and below a circle. Circle contains a logo, but i need to write the text, but it needs to be rounded as well. I don't want to break apart and rotate EVERY letter in those 3 words.

apologies if this question doesn't seem very clear, i'm finding it difficult to describe what i mean.can i make object move 'out of view' in a movieclip?for example, in the same waya movieclip can move offstage, i'm trying to find a way to make the content of a movieclip move out of view to the side but within the scope of the movieclip.so if i have a square movieclip size x=100 y=100 with a circle size 10 in the centre, i'm trying to make it so when my circle moves to the left more than the size of the movieclip it starts to move out of view.another example would be if i had a character on a television (the screen being the movieclip

I want to know how can i make a point (movieclip) move, i know that if i double click the movieclip e can manually change the 'x' an 'y' values and this way the point will move.
It is possibly to link this with java? And make java pass the x and y values to the animation?

I've created an movieclip button that onRelease: moves to the highest depth and expands to the entire page and onRelease again: contracts to a thumbnail and moves to a lower depth.'ve got the animation working. However, I'd like the movieclip to finish playing the contracting to a thumbnail animation to the end before moving to a lower depth. Here's a concatenated version of the code://Variable that I set to know when the button was clicked first to expand.

I'm trying to make a simple animated movieclip act as a preloader for a larger website, and have its play reflect the percentage that has been loaded. I've seen a lot of code for various preloaders that involve text or a movieclip being scaled, but not anything regarding controlling the playhead of a movieclip.
This is what I thought would work. PreLoaderMC is the class name of a MovieClip symbol in the .fla's library. I've omitted the Loader stuff [code]...
