ActionScript 3.0 :: Point Cannon Barrel Towards Mouse?
Feb 20, 2012
EDIT: Rotation issue is solved with this:
ActionScript Code:
Math.atan2(ydif, xdif)/(Math.PI/180)-90;
I made a cannon consisting of 3 movie clips: The barrel, base and projectile. I want the barrel to point toward the mouse and the projectile to follow the barrel on the "inside" (behind the movie clip). Also i don't want the barrel to instantly go to different angels, a smooth animation that make the barrel feel like it has some weight would be nice.
Here is an image of the project: [URL]..

I havent used flash in years and I wanted to make a game. Ive made a few before but i didnt ever finish them and now i dont have them anymore.I wanna make this game where you are this man that can move around. (i can remember how to do that) and you shoot these huge exploding cats.
-How do i make the person shoot when you press the spacebar?
-How do i make the barrel of the gun follow the mouse and the bullets shoot that way?

From the Robert Penner code given in this tutorial: [URL] i was wondering why controlx and controly has to be so complicated. I've tried changing it to just _root._xmouse but it messes up. I don't get this, shouldn't the curve point be the same point as the mouse?

Me and my friend are making a sidescrolling shooter to learn ActionScript 3. But we can't make our cannon shoot the cannonball. Here is the cannon.as
ActionScript Code:
package com.edwardothesheep
{
import flash.display.*;[code]....
And this is the error it gives:
TypeError:::Stage@1fc34b51 to flash.display.MovieClip.

i am trying to make a "double-barrel" firing cannon in AS3..below is a crappy drawing of what im trying to acheive...im having trouble making the two bullets come out where they should (1 on the left barrel, 1 on the right barrel). prior to this, i already successfully created a standard "one-barrel" turret that rotates depending on the mouse location and fires 1 bullet per shot.. what i'm trying to do now is (like i said above) to create a double-barrel turret that would fire 2 bullets per shot (1 on the gun1 and 1 on gun2)..below is the code i used for the single-barrel turret: on the timeline:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, followMouse);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fireBullet);
var radians:Number;
[code]....

How would you script a parabol? i want to be able to "fire" a shell/cannon on a certain angle and have it do a parabol/curve in the air and land/hit.

This is a fairly simple problem, yet I can't make it work. I have an arrow-shaped mc, and I want it to rotate, constantly, so it points at the mouse.
this is what i do every frame:vectorArrow.rotation = Math2.radsToDegs(Math.atan(-(root.mouseY - y)/ (root.mouseX - x) ) );
what happens is that it rotates strangely. It doesnt rotate fully, let alone point to the mouse. I've also tried someone elses code:

I am trying to have a flashlight follow the mouse from it's pivot point. Rotating from its registration point, 180 degree rotation. Also have it move back to place if the mouse is off stage.

Can You with a code move the point where the mouse is placed?
Example. If you have a row of buttons on a frame and when you click one of the buttons you don want the mouse to be on that very same spot because on the next frame are the buttons on the same place. You want the mousearrow to be placed on the top of the frame.

I am trying to make a line point to wherever the cursor is when I stumbled upon the Math.atan2(); function. It appeared that i would put
line.rotation = Math.atan2(1,1);
to get 45 degrees or pi/4, but I was wrong. It barely moved the movieclip at all. So what I'm trying to do is to get this movie clip to rotate along with the mouse so the line is always pointing at the cursor. Also, how would you get movieclip to move along the line created by the line of these two points?

What I am trying to do with AS3 in Flash cs4 is calculate the cursor's distance to given point (let say 400,300) and use that distance to constantly (20 fps) change my curtain's alpha value. (which is basically a box turned into a movie clip) [code]...

im trying to make my plane movieclip follow the mouse... which i have achieved although i want to give it a regestration point so that when the mouse turns or goes left, right, back etc, the front of the plane goes with it so it looks realistic aposed to a plane image moving left and right.

I'm working on a presentation to be presented on a Trade Show. It have an inicial movie, running in loop, but with a Menu bar, so people could stop the movie and go to a product catalogue.

I have attempted to make a movieclip scale in the y axis using _yscale but I can't seem to make it scale to the exact mouse co-ordinates.
Its within a rotating movie clip (controlled by the position of the mouse) and that works fine.
Here's the code I'm using at the moment.
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var disty = this._y - this._ymouse
var dist = Math.sqrt(disty*disty)
this._xscale = 100 + dist;
}

I am trying to make an animation where the user can mouse over a small MC at the top of the stage, which controls the movement of another larger MC at the bottom of the stage.I am thinking that 'points' (which I know nothing about) might be the way to go. The other thing is that it needs to be fluid motion. Am I at least on the right track with points and mouse_move or is there a better approach for this?

Basically I have a scrolling bar with thumbs of images that you can click and view. The bar scrolls depending on where the mouse is located along the X plane. Basically, the greater the value of X, the faster the bar scrolls to a certain extent. I am trying to figure out a way that if the Y value of the mouse cursor reaches a certain point, the scrolling stops. Like if the mouse is scrolling off the bar of images itself, the scrolling stops. As it stands the scrolling is only controlled based on where the mouse is located along the X plane and it has nothing to do with the Y value. I would like to be able to stop the bar with a certain Y value. Make sense? I Hope So :P

Looking for code to enable zooming in/out on a graphic or movie clip using mouse scrollwheel with origin of scale change being at the mouse cursor position. I have one where it is at top left. I also require it to stay proportional, when applied to a rectangular graphic my code makes it go letterbox on zoom out!

There is an Image control that when I click on it I need to zoom in (using the center/transform point where the mouse is clicked). I have the zoom transition working great, but when I set transformX & tranformY (with autoCenterTransform false) it doesn't zoom into that point.
Here is my code that only zooms in (not to a specific point)
<fx:Script>

protected function imgLogo_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
transformer.play();
} ]]>

I would like to create a component(extending from spark Panel), which upon a buttonclick should show up next to the button(something like a bubble popping up or like the small box opening up when hovering up on profile links in facebook/twitter). I tried to create a component that implements mx.core.IToolTip and provided the methods required by the interface. And on the toolTipCreate event, set this component as the tooltip.
This works to an extent. When I bring the mouse over the button, the panel appears as the tooltip and goes away when i move the mouse away. What I need is, the panel should appear next to the button when click on it and should go away only when I click outside the panel or click the close button present inside the panel.

I have recently followed a tutorial to make a movieclip in flash that makes buttons spin around a point depending on the mouse position. I have made my own version off this and would like to use it in a full flash website that i am making at the moment.
The only problem that i am having is with aligning this clip and as it is made up of script i cant physicly drag it to were i want it. I understand how to alighn this with x/y positioning but when i preview the flash in a web browser it is positioned correctly but then when i 'full screen' the browser this clip jumps about 4 inches down the page.
