ActionScript 3.0 :: Move Object In Direction Of Angle?
Jan 19, 2010
i'm trying to work out how to get a movieclip (of an arrow) to rotate then move in the direction it is pointing, controlled using the keyboard. Below is the code i have written so far, I can't get it to move in the correct direction. I also can't get it to keep moving after only one key press.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressDown);var stageW:uint=stage.stageWidth;var stageH:uint=stage.stageHeight;
var speed:Number = 5;
var angle:Number =45;
i am following a tutorial from a book, Learning Actionscript 3.0, A Beginners Guide, where it discusses how to move an object in an agle. I have managed to get the app working fine, but i'm tryin to test it out in different angles but everytime i change it seems to go into the same angle.[code]Can somebody tell me why for everytime i changed the value of the degrees, it does not updat the movement of the ball please
I'm still new to AS3, and I was wondering how to make an object point in the direction of another object and move towards it if they are a certain distance from one another. I haven't been able to find out how to do this from the Adobe devnet, so I thought I'd ask here.
I am trying to make a little game its just a project to help me get my head around the maths,I receive an angle and I want to use that angle to move the character away from the object are there any good tutorials for understanding this principle, or even what the term is for this?
is there a easy way to make an object move along the x axis in one direction then when it reaches that direction it moves back. with a smoove movement.
I have a MC with a ball-movement, that I'd like to move in a specific direction, anytime on pressing A. Here's my code so far (the target is the center of the paddle); but it only does the last part and reverses the current direction.
ActionScript Code: on (keyPress "a") { endX = _root.pad._x;
I'm moving a movie clip using actionscript (as2) instead of a motion tween (because I want to save file size) and I have this code on the first frame of the main timeline ("stone" is the movieclip instance name) and it tells the movie clip how many pixels to move in the x direction: Code: xTargetstone = 600;
I have this code on the movie clip itself ("stone" is the mc instance name) to handle the actual moving of the movie clip: Code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { xstone = getProperty(_root.stone, _x); movestone = _root.xTargetstone - xstone; setProperty(_root.stone, _x, xstone + (movestone/5)); }
The movement works fine, but the issue is that it starts out fast and then slows down over time (even though that amount of time is small). The result is that the movie clip seems to wiggle and vibrate before it stops. Is there a way for me to change the code so that it doesn't wiggle and vibrate? perhaps something with the math I'm just not totally understanding? I would like a nice consistent motion from start to finish, while being able to set the time it takes to move etc.
what i am trying to do is make a circle turn and act like a wheel... what code would i use to make a circle turn and move in the direction it is turning while on the ground?
i want simulate Billiard ball in my project. but my code does not work good. when start with (for example) 34 degree , when hit with wall(stage in this example) return with true degree. in flash , as3
I have this code to add my missile to the screen PHP Code:
[Code]...
it adds right where my character is but I cant seem to figure out how to get the missile to actual move in the direction the character is facing. heres how it looks [URL]
[URL] i assume it's a series of frames with slightly different photos of the razor. when you play the movie it looks like it is spinning. my question is, how do they get the movie clip it to play forward when you move the mouse in one direction, and backward in the other? is it something like mouse over to the right and left (i'm bad with the direction code)??
right now i have a version that will play the movie clip (it's a button w/ only a hotspot) on mouse over and it will stop when the mouse os off the hotspot, but i can't get it to work like the headblade example. because i don't know the right code to play forward and back etc on mouse moves.
I have some texboxes which I need to stay a fixed distance away from another object at an angle.so I need to say textbox_mc position is 10 pixels away from my_Object at an angle of 35 degrees.The angle is changing and the object is moving, I think I can handle that if I know how to position by angle and distance.
I found a basic example of how to create something that'll shoot an object and create an arc based on an angle. I added a power Bar to it, but I noticed something bad about it.
The way it works the higher the speed is the further it goes and the faster it moves across the screen. This doesn't give me enough control. Because essentially I want fast moving projectiles but I want to also be able to shoot both near and far.
With this current system that's an impossibility.. Can anyone shed some light on how I can do this better? Here's the current way it's being done (important parts):
how to do an object move towards the mouse when i move the mouse the towards the object and backwards when i move the move away, something liike the menu on [URL]
I know this is very noob, but I need a simple AS move and loop. Move an object across the stage and once out of site, loop and start over again? It needs to be a slow and endless loop.
how I can count the B point's coordinates (see attached image... or not as I am a new user...pf!). I know the arrow's rotation - so the angle (let's say it is -120), A's coordinates (0, 0) - A is the middle point of the arrow, and that the distance between A and B is 50 px.
