I need to move a 3d transformed object (ex. image) from x=0 to x=500 (for example)
The problem is that the 3d transformation changes along the movement.I want to constrain the 3d transformation so the image distortion (perspective) doesn change.
how to drag a move clip but only change the x value, so dragging left and right. Obviously the startDrag() allows you to drag all over. I had tried
map_mc.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag()
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
[code]....
which "kinda" works but is far far from perfect. This is more or less makes the movieclip slide from side to side, but like i said, its not perfect.
i have 2 movieclips: i want to move both of them but the second movie clip will only move if the first clip reach his final destination how do i do that?
View 2 RepliesJust been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a game with a moving avatar (it moves by itself ), his direction is given by a vector which only change when colliding with another object (which I called Mirrors ). So my avatar has a moveX and moveY properties ( sort of vector so ). And by clicking and holding the click to somewhere else, then releasing it, you can trace line (Mirrors) which have properties like start and end coordinates, a normalized vector for them, and a normalized normal vector. When the avatar is colliding with a mirror, its move vector change, to be redirected like with a mirror reflection.
Here are problems : The collision is only check before the avatar move, so if my avatar move 3 pixels by 3 pixels, and if my mirror is like x = 5-10, my avatar x = 1, it will move one time : avatar.x = 4, no collision. second time : avatar.x = 7 : collision, but my avatar is partially "in" the mirror, so weird... To solved it, my avatar only move 1 pixel by 1 pixel..
Second problem, when my avatar come in contact with the "bottom" or "top" of my line (imagine a vertical line), it does some strange things like go through the line and shaking.. I don't know how to manage that, it actually occurs sometimes even if it does hit at the line itself.
I trying to create an animation that will demonstrate the basics of steering a sailboat. There will be a movieclip top view of the boat hull. Another movie clip will be the boat tiller. One end of the the tiller will have a grip that the user will drag with the mouse. Dragging the grip will turn the tiller turn right or left on its axis. When the user drags the tiller to the left, the boat hull turns to the right, and vice versa. I can get the tiller to rotate in a circle around its axis. However, making the tiller turn no more than 15 to 20 degrees left or right, and creating an event listener that will test when the tiller is turned left or right, then turn the hull the opposite direction as a sailboat would react.
View 2 Replieshow I can create a working scrollbar for a movie clip? I've managed to get as far as inserting two buttons that allow you to move the movie clip up and down, it's just getting the scrollbar to be able to move the clip within a certain ratio that I'm finding hard to do.
View 4 RepliesIf you don't add an asset (text field, mc, btn etc) to the stage / create the object dynamically, is it possible for the asset to move x,y position or alter it's properties depending on the user environment? If so, what environments can cause this? IE what browsers, op. systems, player versions etc?

View 4 RepliesWhat I have done is create a preloader that loads an SWF file. I used the same preloading technique used at this site [url]...
What I want to do is when the browser window resizes I want to change the swf files height and width properties to the size of the window.
Is this possible or should I approach the preloader differently so that my main swf gets loaded by the browser so I can use javascript to change its properties.
I have a text whitch I created with: createTextField command. Somehow I figured out how to change the text's color and size but I'm still not able to change it's font although I used the command text.textFont=arial; (I used Arial too).
Basically I wanted a list with command that you can change text properties..

View 2 RepliesHow would i go about changing properties of a Combo Box?
There are two things I would like to change that differs from an orginal Combo Box.
1. Make it so some of the labels within the Combo Box are unselectable, yet are still displayed.
2. Make the colour of certain labels different.
I currently have a scene in Flash CS4 that consists of an image layer1 (converted to a motion tween), image layer2 (converted to a motion tween), an actionscript 3.0 layer, and a hotspot layer. Let's say the animation is 10 frames long for simplicity. At frame1 I want the visibility of image layer 1 turned on and the visiblity of image layer 2 off. Then, I want to spin image layer 1 and 2 simaltaneously (I know how to do this with motion tweens of course) but mid-spin, say at Frame 5, I wish to turn on the visiblity of image layer 2 and turn off the visibility of image layer 1.
How do i change the visiblity properties of my image layers with actionscipt? I assume there is a class I need to load and then change the properties of the image layers in the actionscript layer at the corresponding frames I wish those properties to change.
I'm loading a swf to my main stage and im adding a child to a childMovieclip in the loaded movieclip

I have 4 mc's that are acting as btns inside an mc on the main timeline...[code]there are 3 other mc/btns and all come up at different frames in mainbranch_mc (mainbranch_mc is on the main timeline)
first question, if I add the above codes to each mc at the beginning or end of mainbranch_mc I get a null error, so the only way I do not is if I add actions to the frames the buttons start in. (is this correct?)
second question, since btn mode is true I do not need to change the mc properties from mc to button correct?
last question, since newolivefour_mc and the 3 other btns (which I did not list are all inside the branch_mc timeline) how and where do I code so the btns when released to getURL's.
I am running a for loop to bring in movie clips from an array, and I have a couple buttons that I want to affect the properties of all of the mcs. The buttons (labelsOff_btn, labelsOn_btn, increaseSize_btn, decreaseSize_btn) are only affecting the second-to-last item on the list, although the drag functions targeting the same mcs (thIcon) are working for everything. Code is pasted below:

if you can set and change different properties of a graphic symbol using AS? I know you can change MC's and buttons. I also know that you can change graphic symbol properties using the prop inspector. I was thinking that since you can change properties like _alpha in the Prop Inspector, how to you set and control them using AS.
View 3 RepliesI have say 50 movie clips on the stage. each has a name like "button1", "button2" etc and I want to move each one using a for loop instead of hard coding "button1._x = 50"
When I try this it doesn't work.
Code:
var buttonName = "button1";
buttonName._x = 50;
I want to load an image, and then change widht and height of this .jpg. So I'm making something like this:
Code:
_imageSprite = new Sprite();
var imgRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "data/image.jpg" );
var imgLoader = new Loader();
[Code].....
Even if I try to get _imageSprite.widht, I'm getting 0? Why?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Because I need to get width and height of this image. Also to change this properties.
Does anyone recall how to change the color of the text and the background box when one clicks and drags over text in an input textfield?

I am loading a small scrolling text box dynamically from a .txt doc in the same folder, but I can't find anything about changing the font properties. No matter what changes I make to the code, the font stays size 12, times new roman, black. I want to change all three of these properties, but most of the related forum posts I have found are about changing the font for a given sentence, manually input into the AS. I need flash to list all font in the text file as Arial, 13, and white in color.This is being set up so members of managment can update news without needing flash to do so, so they obviously can't type everything into the AS.
Here is the code I'm using:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextField_txt.width=200;
var style:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
style.size = "12";
style.color = "0xFFFFFF";
style.font = "Arial";
I have created a new font in the library with the settings required, and named it Arial, but this was still unsuccessful.
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));

If you load an external swf and after it is totally loaded give it as to change size properties. the file jumps from his size exactly to the pretended. How do one give code to do this in a progressive way.
