Does anyone know the formula to determine what the width of a Sprite would be based on changes to the z-axis? I know the width property is updated after the change, I'm hoping to know what the width will be pre-change.
View 1 RepliesFor the physics engine I'm developing, (Flash MX) I need it to be able to handle particles moving quickly enough that hitTest() would be impractical because of clipping issues. I'm representing particle movement through vectors, and in each frame I update the position of particles based on their physics vector. I'm trying to design a collision detection system that detects whether the line representing the particle's vector intersects a movie clip, and where on that line it does.This way, I can figure out exactly if and where a particle will collide on the next frame without having to worry about it clipping. Problem is, I can't exactly tell the engine to parse every point along the line and check for collisions using hitTest; that would be too processor-intensive and would kill my framerate (I'm shooting for 24 or 30 fps.) Any good ways to tell if a line intersects an irregularly-shaped movie clip on the fly?
View 2 RepliesI'm using a flex columnchart to display data, that changes at runtime. It works perfectly, except the fact, that the y-axis with is automatically resized when the values goes under 1.For example first the values of the charts are between 0 and 10. The y-axis now has labels like 0,1,2,3,4...10. If the values are going under 1 the labels are updated to 0.0, 0.1, 0.2...1.0. And because of the width of the labels, the group with the charts is resized.It looks like the chart is "jumping".So, I need a way, to set a fixed width of the y-axis of the chart.

View 3 RepliesI've got a movieclip which follows a predefined path (like in those tower defense games). Normally the mc changes the direction it faces with Math.atan2 method and then rotates the movieclip, but because this game is in a tilted view( in stead of directly from the top) I need it to change the frame in the MC according to the direction it's facing.
Is it possible to read out Math.atan2 method data, and then change the frame the MC is displaying, according to this data? I used [URl]...on-and-realism as a base for this game. If Math.atan2 method
Making a slide-in panel, following Flash and Maths "Using the Tween class in Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3 " tutorial The panel moves on screen on a MOUSE_OVER event, and off screen in MOUSE_OUT event. Have managed to change everything so it works on the x axis; but when i want to change it to enter and exit on the y axis but when i do it bounces around and immediately heads back off screen. Surely this is simple, but I am quite stuck; please let me know what is wrong with this code:

I'm trying to create a dynamic layout for a flex app.
I need a boolean which is dependent upon the overall width of the browser window with which to set states, something along the lines of
if(this.parentApplication.width<950)
{

}else{
currentState = "narrow"
}
However, I can't just state this in the fx:Script tags, so what is the best way to implement this? enterFrame="application1_enterFrameHandler(event)" works
On my stage I have about 10 different objects that are all copies of the same MC symbol in my library. I gave them all instance names: block1, block2, ... block10. In the code for my Document class, I wrote:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numChildren; i++) {
trace(getChildAt(i).name)
}
The first time I ran my code, my trace looked like:
Code:
block1
block2
...
block10
Later, I changed around the z-axis for a few of these objects on my stage (Ctrl + SHIFT + DOWN/ UP)
Then I ran my code again, and I got:
Code:
block1
block2
instance 16
instance 17
...
etc

Heres my question. How do i make an object move along the y axis once it has reached its x axis target?
HEre is the code, that i got from here.
and what in this code is making the MC ease out?[code]...
I've put together this simple code for an SWF with three roll over images (called: Training, Resources and Contact).When I roll over Training I would like the symbol Training_txt to tween its alpha to 1 (from 0) and tween its y axis to 220 (from 83).When I roll out of Training I would like to run the two tweens in reverse.
This works fine for each of the three roll over images, so long as each tween is allowed to fully execute before a new tween is started. The problem arises if i quickly move the mouse curser between the three roll over images before the previous tweens have finished executing.In this instance, the tweened objects start to behave erratically. They usually return to their original position as per the roll_out tween but then start jumping between y axis 200 and y axis 83 (without tweening - they just appear).
Code below -
stop();

What i done there i draw a box and made it to movieclip and instance named it hook and created a invisible dot and called it dot. Then I calculated distance from box to the mouse then i took that number and put it in Math.cos command. And finally i made tweener to change box scale depending what my mouse distance from it.So if my mouse is close the box is big , if far - box is small. Ok, I want to know is there another way to do this ? Cuz , i cant think of other way to change arithmetic positive progression(like 3,6,9,12) to negative progression(like 12,9,6,3) than Math.cos command.
