I have series of Bezier curves that I want to revolve about an axis to form a solid model in Papervision3D.How would I do this? Has someone created a class for Papervision that can revolve a curve to form a solid?

View 1 RepliesI can create a bezier curve, but i want to be able to bend a movieclip (say a rectangular shaped block of colour). Can it be done? if so how?
View 6 RepliesFirst i want to say its my first post and i've been diging straight up gold from this site and i love it and everyone out there smart enough to give out solutions.So basically am writing a game and i have bezier curve that controls where an actor moves. Am using only 3 points (start, control1, end) and everything is fine.Now i want to create a bezier curve that passes through a certain point (r1) at t = 0.5 . The problem being that i have my start point, my end point and my point (r1) at t=0.5, and i need to find the control point.
View 1 RepliesI need to implement a drag and drop functionality, where I can define and constraint the route of the draggable object.[URL].. only that i have the paths designed and not calculated by a math function. So, in fact, as mouse moves I need to tell the object to follow the custom path/movieclip.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know a decent algorithm for drawing a anti-aliased (smooth) quadratic bezier curves in a raster?
I could simply draw them as vectors and then copy the image to a raster..
Is there any clever yet freely available algorithm to draw the curve directly to the pixels? I am currently using the algorithm implemented here:[URL].. I am doing this for learning purposes and because I am hoping it would be faster than using the copy pixels from a Shape option. Here is an example showing the none-smooth bezier is faster than the regular bezier:[URL]..
I'm doing a project using FLARManager augmented reality and the Papervision3D library. Unfortunately, Papervision is giving me a lot of problems.My scene3D contains a DAE model and a plane. The plane has a MovieMaterial and is playing a video through FLVPlayback. The DAE and the plane are both inside the same DisplayObject3D container. FLARManager transforms the container so that everything appears through the angle of the marker.
My DAE model is a TV, the screen of the TV is transparent. I want to have my Plane inside of my DAE model, so that the Movie playing on the plane material appears to be what is playing on the TV.The problem is that, even if the plane has a lower Z index then the TV, it always appears in front of the TV.
How do I have my plane and its MovieMaterial appear behind the TV, so that some of its corners are cut out by the TV and the part of the TV thats transparent let me see the Movie? If its impossible, anyone has an idea of how I could get the desired effect of having a movie play on the screen of my DAE tv model?

How to anti-alias a collada model in papervision3D?I've tried searching everywhere but didn't find any ways to anti-alias models. I've also tried blurring it a little as an anti-alias method but that only f-s it up and makes it look worse.How do I do that properly?

I want to curve a dynamic text from a straight line to circular curve (using a slider). I have placed the characters of the string in each textfield created at runtime.
View 3 RepliesI was hoping someone could help me working out some advanced data reformatting. What I'm hoping for is a function where I can input a value along with an array of key positions like so:
function remap(percentage:Number, keypoints:Array) { ...
The array would start with the minimum and end with the maximum point, with nested key points along the way. For example, I would input something like remap(0.25, [0:0,80:50,100:100] ) and the function would 'imagine' a spline curve graph from (0,0)-(100,100) with a key point of (80,50), then return the y value that is 25% along that graph.
I have a curveTo an anchor point and a control point.Then I have a function that will return the x and y of a point along that curve if I give it a number as a percentage of the curve (0 to 1).It looks like this, and works perfectly..
Code:
function drawOnCurve( interval:Number, x0,y0,x1,y1,x2,y2)
{
interval = Math.max( Math.min( 1, interval ), 0 );[code]....
x0,y0 are the start point, x1,y1 the control point and x2,y2 the final anchor point.But... I want to give it a _y value instead of a percentage (interval) and it return where on the curve that would intersect.
As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?
I am making a flash video game. You will have control of a spaceship that is going to go to space. I made a 550x30,000 JPG file in photoshop to use in flash as the background for the game. 30,000 pixels is about what I need to make a good scale of the earths atmosphere because earths atmosphere is about 36,000 feet high and I was goign to use a scale of 1 pixel = 1 foot.
When I import the jpg to flash and test the movie instead of my background all I see a a plain red box in the movie window. It fills the whole stage. This led me to think that there could be a pixel limitation. If so what are the limitatoions and how can I get around them?
I have a few movieclips that I am fading out alpha with actionscript
The problem is the MC is not a solid shape, it has layered shapes in it, so you can see all the shapes within it fading indivually
Is there a way of fading an MC as if it were a solid (bitmap?)
Is there an easy way of converting a vector mc into a bitmap in actionscript?
I've trying to make blocks solid so my character can walk across the blocks and not go straight through it ive looked around for around 12-13 hrs at the moment and im still stuck.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to simply draw a solid shape consisting of various other shapes, however, when I overlap two shapes, the overlapped area becomes transparent again. For instance:
Code:
var myShape:Shape = new Shape();
myShape.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(10, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(20, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(myShape);
The above code is AS3, but I believe the same thing happens for AS2 as well. The overlapping area between the two circles is not clack.
I am currently creating a game in which the character is stationary in the middle and the world moves in relation to the character. When the character is not moving and not touching anything, I need the world to shift upward to meet the character and stop on collision detection. The problem is I have no idea how to conceptually make this work.
making assets "fall up" and stop when colliding with an object (basically reverse gravity).
How to make this RGB value not a solid black... but rather say a 20% shade of black?

I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:

Fairly new to ActionScript 3. I am creating a series of solid rectangles which will be acting as butttons for my site, a new rectangle is created by looping through an XML List, 1 rectangle for each title in my List. They will be displayed 1 above another down the left hand side of my screen.
What I want to do, if possible, is create a vanishing point on the right hand side of my screen which the rectangles will use to alter their perspectives.Obviously the rectangles with a far different Y position to the vanishing points, will display with a greater perspective.
I have in a function a line to be drawn. I want the line to be not solid but like this ------. Can I code for that.line4.lineStyle(2,"0000FF",100);
