ActionScript 3.0 :: Orientation Relations Between 2 Objects On Stage
Mar 11, 2012
I have 2 simple objects on stage: 1 is a static circle with a sharp tip (to show direction of the object) and 1 moving circle (moves according to users mouse or just a constant random move).
I want the static circle orientation to change according to moving circle position (so the sharp tip will always point at the moving circle).
What I did is divide the stage to 8 sections, each is linked to a specific orientation of the static circle.

I have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.

I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.

I've managed to find the tutorial for custom mouse pointers but I haven't managed to find quite what I need.What I want is a mouse pointer thats actually a car (an overhead view) that rotates as tho it was driving. So its orientation is dependent on the direction the mouse pointer is moving. Basically I want the car to face the direction its driving in.

Well I started playing around with some coding for Android (because I want to make an App for my YouTube community [URL] and I got some pretty cool stuff working already but just now I bumped into this weird problem.I was trying out Auto Orientation (rotating the phone for portrait or landscape view). And in Flash the BG Movieclip is at 0,0 but on the phone its more like -20,-40...I also had a "similar" problem with a swipe tryout where in Flash the swipeable pages where completely filling the screen but on my phone I had a top and bottom white bar (flash's bg, so if i made this black it would be black on the phone also) of about 10-15 px...

I have a question about Papervision3D, or perhaps bitmapData, I am unsure where the problem is. I have constructed a program that takes 4 banners and splits them into pieces and then applies those pieces to cubes so that I can make a banner rotator. So after I run my program I have 10 cubes with a piece of a banner on 4 faces(front, top, back, bottom) of each cube. The problem is that some of the faces are oriented incorrectly(spun 180 degrees).
Is there a way in Papervision3D to spin a cube face? The other place I think the problem may be is when I create the bitmapData that will be applied to the cube faces. Is there some way to explicitly define orientation during bitmapData creation?

I want to call the Flex printing API to set the print arguments before sending printing command.But there is no method in Flex(FlexPrintJob or PrintJob) to set the printing orientation.Are there some methods to solve this problem?My project is running in B/S structure and the view layer is in Flex.

I'm trying to design a tablet flash applet. Does anyone know how to lock the orientation of the html embedded player player in landscape mode when it has been full screened? So far this is what I have in the html file: HTML Code: <embed src="fullScreenTest.swf" allowFullScreen="true" fullScreenOnSelection = "true" />
That did wonders for maximing the flash window, but the moment I change orientation on the tablet the flash player also changed orientation. I know there is a way of locking the orientation to landscape mode in ActionScript 3, but is there an ActionScript 2 equivalent for it?

I'm adding a print button to a game for client. The only code I've found that actually works is this
ActionScript Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
print(drawingArea, "bframe")
}
And then the frame that's to be printed has "#p" for a frame label. It works, but I would like to be able to change the orientation from the default portrait, to landscape.

So I have a circle of planes which get constructed as:
plane.x = Math.cos(angle) * radius;
plane.z = Math.sin(angle) * radius;
plane.rotationY = (-360 / numItems) * i - 90;

I have around 20 buttons that together make a map of USA. I am using AS3 tool tip, which display name of region on mouse-over. I want to create a movieclip which will house all these 20 buttons and their actions(basically put everything under one movieclip).
But when I do that everything works fine but the tool tip gets dispalced.
It appears almost at the edge of the stageAny way to make it appear near the mouse cursor?
Code I am using for tool tip is:
Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler1);
function mouseOverHandler1(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//creating a new tooltip instance

Is anyone able to actually make it work properly in Flex SDK 4.6?
Here's a short snippet :

What I'm trying to achieve is to support Landscape mode in both orientations, so if user turns the device 180 degress, the screen should also rotate. But there should be no action at all, when user rotates the device to one of portrait orientations. Instead, I'm seeing width changes to navigator action bar and sometimes content in portrait orientations, so apparently preventing the event is not enough. I'm using the "official" way Adobe suggests, but the problem is that it's not working very well. Granted, the stage does not change, but it seems that there's something firing in navigator anyway, since you can see the action bar width changing.
I had some success with explicitly setting layoutbounds to fixed width in handler method - this prevents changing the actionbar width, but it's only a temporary solution - if the view is a subject to a transition, or some other redraw - it will again render with bad sizes. As if there was something below that was telling it that it's in portrait mode, even though I'm trying to prevent it.
Before you detonate with some silly ideas like "autoOrient = false", don't. It's clearly not a solution for this problem. Obviously it's a bug with Flex SDK - did anyone find a way to fix it or a stable workaround?

We are developing a RIA for restaurant industry. Our screens have buttons, movie clips, Grids, containers etc etc.
If the user logging in has preference set for being 'left handed', we need to tweak the already designed screens to alter the layout. I.e. swap screen left and right.
I am guessing that as of now, all the containers which have horizontal layouts will need to swap the order of their children.

I am creating a program and have some objects that animate from off the stage to on the stage. When I run the program in the flash player the objects that are off stage are visible. Is there anyway to stop this from happening. I suppose I could create a layer with a frame in it that could cover the off stage objects, but I am just wondering if there is a better way.

how would I go about creating a flash application that has the ability of extending beyond its object width and height on a page? I've seen those crazy flash ads which beg you to hover over them only to have it take over 3/4 of the page you are viewing. How are they doing that? Is it a combination of Javascript and Flash? Or, is it actually a really big stage that is somehow hidden in the HTML? Or (better yet) is there a magic way of pushing flash objects beyond the stage and out into the HTML?

I'm studying the code for a vertical shooter game that is given in the book "ActionScript Design Patterns 3.0." The author is explaining the factory pattern and so covers just that aspect of the code -- doesn't cover hit testing. I would like to figure out how to do hit testing for this example because it's similar to something I am planning.
The code for the game consists of 12 classes, abstract and concrete creator classes, abstract and concrete product classes and a Main class. These classes instantiate the ship and weapon objects at various points in their execution. I made a separate Collision class and I'm trying to find all the objects on the stage using this Collision class so I can hit test them with each other. Here's my code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Is there a way to fix this code so I can access objects on the stage? Am I missing a cast somewhere? Or do I need a different approach to find objects on the stage in a multiclass game?

I'd like to be able to access some objects which are on the stage before compile time (e.g. in my .fla file). I can do this fine from the document class using the names I've assigned to them, but I need to be able to do this from other classes (instantiated at runtime) too.
What is the best way to go about this? Can I use the stage variable (this isn't looking likely from what I've read so far) somehow? Or do I need to pass in references to these objects from my document class when I create the instances of the class that needs to access them?

I'm having an issue accessing items on the stage from some imported code. I found this topic that discusses the same issue... [URL]
I'm not sure I totally understand how to go about this. I don't understand how to make the object global so I can access it from any class. (I have the same problem with an array I'm working with).

I have exported a page from InDesign to FLA that contains an InDesign multi-state object (MSO) and when I bring it into Flash and export as a SWF, the MSP just cycles through all the contained images. There's an Adobe KB that states that this is a known issue and that ActionScript can be used to stop the MSO from cycling. Does anyone know the ActionScript used to stop this?

I increased the size of my stage to 1280 x 1024 and now objects on the periphery have disappeared. When I zoom in they appear, but when I zoom out or export the movie the objects in the center are there but the objects around the edge do not appear. If I add an object and drag it to the edge I can watch it disappear as I am dragging it, but when I zoom in it is there. I have no masks and I need to create the video at the higher resolution, so I cannot resize the stage smaller.
