ActionScript 3.0 :: Papervision Camera Orbit In Ellipse?

Oct 14, 2010

I'm in the final stages of my Papervision project and I need to have the camera orbit around its target in an ellipse rather than a circle on a mouse drag. The tricky part is I already am using some complicated logic to get it easing as well and I need them to work together.

ActionScript Code:
private function upHandler(event:Event):void {
isCameraRotating = false;
} private function downHandler(event:Event):void {
isCameraRotating = true;
previousMousePoint = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);
[Code] .....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Papervision Restrict Camera Movment And Zoom

Apr 16, 2008

I've got to do a project with with 3d so have turned to papervision. Basically, I have 5 planes that I want the camera to rotate around but only to a point. When the camera reaches an x value of either -1000 of 1000 the camera movement should stop and not go past that value (but obviously the other way).Also, I need to add a function to click one of the planes and it comes to the front and fills the stage (it's aspect ratio will be the same as the stage). The code I'm using the standard Lee Brimlow tutorial code:[code]So basically, the cameras movement is restricted to between -1000 and 1000 and you can click on the planes and zoom into them so they fill the screen.

Actionscript 3 :: Load A Papervision/Flex Application (SWF) As A Material On A Papervision Plane?

Mar 24, 2011

I am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.

private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void
{
loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(path);

[Code]....

Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Orbit One Mc Around Another, But Always Facing?

Sep 28, 2008

I am using this script to rotate one mc (cloud) around another (grass), but what I can't seem to figure out is how to change the rotation of "cloud" so that it is always facing the center of it's orbit

Code:
var radius = 1200;
var degrees = -120;
onEnterFrame = function (){

[Code]....

right now I am just using "cloud._rotation += 1;", but it obviously doesn't rotate the correct way.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Random Orbit Around Origin?

Oct 21, 2009

I'm making a little kids game at the moment with all kinds of critters and such.I randomly place the critters around the stage. Now to give them some more life i would like them to wander around a little bit but not stray from their origin (the place they were initially put).Now i recon i should store their origin in some vars and then setup a timer (or an onComplete with any random tweening engine) and then get new random coordinates to tween too that are within range.I think.I'm not sure if i'm on the right track as i can't get this to work properly so far.

So im trying to create a simulation Earths orbit around the Sun. Before i begin coding i need to know earths real orbit lengths.Does anyone know the values of (A,B,X,Y) variables?And once i do get the values, what is the code for moving an object in an ellipse? I know i need to use cos and sin but i dont know the actual formula.

Edit: I found out that [A] is 152,098,232 km and its [B] is 147,098,290 km. I'll scale these down once i find out the [X] and [Y].

Webcam - Detect Flash-accessible Camera Without Prompting User For Access To Camera If One Exists?

Oct 11, 2010

From a Flash object, I would like to be able to detect the presence of a webcam that the user might grant access to, without actually asking the user whether they want to grant access. This is to streamline a large application that has extra features if a webcam exists — if there is a webcam, the application will present several dialogs that lead up to the normal cam-security prompt, but if the user doesn't have the hardware, I want to skip over them altogether. Requesting access to the cam before those dialogs won't make sense to the user.

It appears not to be possible to call Camera.getCamera() without the security prompt happening. Is there a workaround? (For instance, could I, perhaps, call getCamera in a hidden Flash object and inspect its return value, or does it block until the user acknowledges the security prompt?)

I have a video capture device on a machine. I have written a windows application to capture the video from this device. While capturing, if i try to broadcast using flash it does not connect. If i'm already broadcasting and then try to capture then my windows application does not get the capture pin of the device. So, flash seems to be taking the capture pin. Is there anyway to broadcast using the preview pin on the device so that i can capture using my application. Or is there way where i can split the capture pin and give one to my app and one to the broadcaster

Flash - Trig Equations To Create Ellipse

Feb 13, 2011

I am working with this function that moves an object around a center point in a perfect circle and am trying to modify it to move it in an oval shape that is 1/2 as high as it is wide?

Basically, I have a set speed
var myVelocity:Number = 0.25;
Then I calculate my Sine and Cosine based on the speed
var myCos:Number = Math.cos(myVelocity);
var mySin:Number = Math.sin(myVelocity);

Then I figure the distance of the the object from a fixed center points along each axis and
var x1:Number = myBall.x - centerX;
var y1:Number = myBall.y - centerY;
var x2:Number = myCos * x1 - mySin * y1;
var y2:Number = myCos * y1 + mySin * x1;
myBall.x = centerX + x2;
myBall.y = centerY + y2;

I have another function that figures x and y based upon myBall.x = centerX + cos(angle) * radius; that is easy enough to modify the radius to become an ellipse, but is there an easy way to mod the one above to become an ellipse? I want to do this to be more efficient with the code and reduce the number of math function calls

ActionScript 2 :: Tween Around Ellipse From Different Start Points

Jun 14, 2011

I have 7 movieclips on stage I want to tween around an ellipse from different start points. I am having lots of trouble doing this. I used a circle formula at first and then divided the y value by the width of the ellipse over the height. This sort of worked but after every rotation the y value was a little of. That code is:

this._x += (Math.cos(angle * Math.PI/180) * radius);
this._y += (Math.sin(angle * Math.PI/180) *radius)/1.54;

I also have trouble finding the angle of the start point, if it is off they won't travel in the same ellipse but they all have different starting angles.

got another little provlem with flex ... i've made a ellipse and i want to rotate it dynamicly. made a h:slider which change the rotate="" value of the ellipse. and it rotates fine. but the rotation point is in the middle of the ellipse.

i want it at the bottom (y) and middle (x).

there are some transformY and transformX arguments for the ellipse, but they have no effect?

my function

Flex :: Access The Property Of An Ellipse Inside A Group?

And that I have a dozen more of these groups with different ID's. How can I modify the fill color of each Ellipse using ActionScript? I know I can do something like this:

b01.getElementAt(0).width;

And that will give me the width of the Ellipse. But how can I access the SolidColorStroke color or the SolidColor fill?

ActionScript 3.0 :: DrawRoundRect - Corners Of A Rectangle Are Not Very Consistent When The Curve/ellipse Values Are Very Low?

Jun 1, 2009

The corners of a rectangle drawn with drawRoundRect are not very consistent when the curve/ellipse values are very low (2-5px or so), most visibly when there's a border added.Even with hinting turned on, there's still a pretty ugly difference. When set to 3px (horizontal and vertical), the right-side corners look pretty close at around 3px, but the left-side corners are very off, and both look to be maybe 1px curved.

Actionscript 3 :: Find A Tight-fitting, Axis-aligned, Bounding Box Of A Rotated Ellipse?

Jan 16, 2010

The AS3 getBounds function returns a rectangle that is not fitting tightly to a rotated ellipse. Instead it returns an axis-aligned rectangle based on the bounds of a rectangle whose width/height corresponds to the max/min diameter of the ellipse and follows its rotation.

Stack Overflow Q/A about the math of ellipses and bounding boxes

Based on this I took a stab at coding a solution in AS3. So far I have been able to produce a rectangle that fits perfectly along the x-axis, but as I rotate my ellipse it acts very weird along the y-axis. Rather than alternating between 2*r_min and 2*r_max while rotating, it alternates between 2*r_min and 0. My best guess is that I have done something wrong when solving the differentiated t for gradient -> infinity...

Here is an example from my code:

var r_max:uint = 45;
var r_min:uint = 20;
var rot:Number = ellipse.rotation * (Math.PI / 180);
var t_nil:Number = Math.atan( -r_min * Math.tan(rot) / r_max);
