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.
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.
is it possible that i can make an elipse orbit in a 360 like a planet with out it looking like a flat papper?i want to make it seem 3d as if rendered.i want to import the globe of our world and make it go around.
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] .....
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].
This question has been raised in other forums as one of "moving the stage," and the solution seemed to be that the stage cannot be moved, only the components of the animation can be moved. That solution does not work for my situation (I am using CS4) where moving a motion path causes the shape off an object to be altered.Perhaps I can pose the question this way:The stage initially has origin (0,0) and the size of the stage is measured from that point. Is it possible to change the origin to, say, (-100, -200), which, in effect moves every object on stage 100 pixels to the right (because the stage has moved 100 pixels to the left) and 200 pixels down?
Can anyone tell me if an instance of a line as origin point and end point properties that can be read or changed? I know that if you create a line with actionscript you have to set them. But can the X and Y coordinates of the points be accessed once the line exists and moved to a different location?
I am having a multi user application running in FMS. I need to cluster them using Edge/Origin with Origin failover.I went thru, http:[url]......My questions are,1) which software load balancer can I use? Is there possiblitiy of configuring the fms server to be reverse proxy.http:[url].... in the below link its mentioned that we can configure edges in 4 ways.Client auto discovery proxyServer auto discover (reverse proxy)Explicit URIImplicit URI (recommended)what configs do I need to do.I was successfut only Explicit URI way by configuring the Vhost.xml. How would I do for others?
Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5We currently have an Edge/Origin configuration. We have another Origin Server to be used for fail-over. How do you setup a back-up Origin Server?

I was successfully able to setup FMS edge-origin cluster but Origin-only clustering is the one we wanted for our live applications. The only place I found was 'Large Scale Deployment with FMIS'. I guess for Origin Only Clustering, we need to have our own caching system. What does get cached in a Live AV Chat? How do I propagate it to other Origins? What kind of plugins would I need for cache managing? What should the plugin do?
In the attached Origin Only Architecture, what does the Primary Origin do and Secondary Origin do? I thought Origin is the place where the application is actually running and Edges do proxy. Is it the same here in Origin-only clustering also? Are there any tools which can measure the lag in AV? (like performance measuring tools or load testing tools for FMS). What kind of software Load Balancer can we use for FMS clustering? (Like Nginx, Zeus or something?)
I have an FMS Clustered in Edge-Origin configuration. Can I have different Origins for different applications but the same edges?.I have multiple edges forwarding the requests to the Origins based on the application name?[code]And if its possible, can someone advice the advantageous of having different Origins for different Applications?
Is it possible to use origin/edge setup when streaming using HDS ? I have succesfully tested using RTMP but when I try the HDS string - get error "we are having problems with playback". I can view the stream directly if I connect to the origin server. I have 1x origin server and 1x edge server.
I think I did this before but can't find the code. Flash as many other graphical frameworks use the top-left corner as the coordinate origin (0,0) because it's how the underlying memory model is by convention. But it would be really simpler for my calculations if the origin was in the center of the stage, because all the game revolves around the center and uses a lot of trigonometry, angles, etc. Is there some built-in method like Stage:: setOrigin( uint, uint ); or something like that?
I have been given some code for a new drah and drop project of mine.I have a reset button with an instance name of 'Reset' which I hope could reset all dragable objects to their original position using[code]...
I'm working on a physics program with 2 bodies orbiting around each other using basic newtonian mechanics.y problem is I notice my objects are drifting towards the origin.In my codes I run my equations and then I add a value to the x and y of the objects to move them.like so:
Code: Some code using x and y to calculate new xvelocities ...
where can I find step by step guide for clustering FMS? url...but , it is not clear what exactly to do , it just says like :Install and configure the first Flash Media Server.Use the same serial number and license file each time you install Flash Media Server.NOTE A special cluster license file is required. For more information, contact your Macromedia representative.Confirm that this Flash Media Server instance is working correctly.Configure the Flash Media Server instance as an origin server.Install and configure the next Flash Media Server in the cluster.Configure this Flash Media Server instance as an edge server.Make sure this edge server points to the origin server.Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each edge server that your license file allows. ".
I just came accross edge origin configuration. I was wondering if this would be good if I use Edge-Origin configuration on live applications, like live Video Chat or sharing a drawing board. I understand that they will be useful in case of failures of edges. But unlike 'videos on demand' applications like streaming, edges will help since the edges will cache them. So for a live application, apart from failover any other advantages of having Edge-Origin setup?
When I create a little .swf file with actionscript it will run correctly in whatever stage size I choose for the document. However, I want the display to update when I change the window size that the .swf is running in as it is running. It does some resizing as I drag the corner of the .swf window, but not correctly. I actually put the statement: graphics.drawRect(0,0,stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);into the code, and it is not drawing the origin at the corner of the window (among other problems). Is this a bug in Flash, and/or is there some way around this When I put the window back to its original size, it displays correctly, and this is happening for all stage sizes and aspect ratio
we have an origin server where video materials are stored and one edge where clients are conected to.
If i allow clients to connect directly to core server it can go easily to 1000 users without any problems. If the clients connects to edge after 100 users the player will start buffering the video every few seconds.
On the other hand if i connect a FMLE to core ( same video bitrate as materials already encoded ) clients can connect to edge and there is no problem ( tested with 1000 users ) and no buffering issues appeared.
There is no IO wait problem on core, edge is configured not to use any cache. There is no connectivity isssue between master and edge.
Can one upload files to a domain other than the domain a script originates from? For example, suppose you're hosting files on [URL], and you want to upload files to [URL], would the following script violate the same origin policy (using uploadify):
How do I move the origin point, or zero point, of a MovieClip to the same origin point of the stage without scripting in Adobe Flash CS3?
Example: While I'm trying to move objects within a MovieClip, the origin point is at (stage) 200,-300. This means that when I put objects in a MovieClip, the objects' X,Y coordinates, as displayed in properties, are off by that much.
This point is way off the edge of the stage and I'd like to move it back to the stage's origin point so that my X,Y coordinates are meaningful.
5 text choices (choice_1 → choice_5)5 text field targets (box_1 → box_5)FUNCTION:1. Drag the choices to the targets.2. When dropped they display in target fields.3. Then snap back.I thought I had it but no cigar ... must be close though.Everything functions properly EXCEPT when I drag a choice and drop it all five choices go to choice_5 (XY) instead of their own origin.HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?PROBLEM CAN BE SEEN HERE
I am making application which will dynamically create sprites via action script and copy the sprite's image to a bitmapdata object via .draw() function. I would like to store the location of the sprite's transformation point and insertion origin (which would be set within the flash editor when the sprite is created/imported.) Is there a way to access the location of the transformation point and the insertion origin via ActionScript? I just want to read it, I do not need to change it.
I tried to create simple animation from this Kirupa's tutorial My aim is to make a circle run from left to right and when it is almost to the edge it will move back to the origin point and it will loop only 3 times. So I came up with totally baby script like this:
[Code]...
But the MC is not move back to the original place. Sorry for not even finish the script for stop looping. Only tweak on play loop it make me very confused. My knowledge is quite in entry level but I eager to learn. Could you let me know what is wrong with the script?
i cannot snap the object into its origin. I've made two AS for this one, a DragDrop as and a DragGame as.[code]I just don't know where to put the code that could make the objects snap to its origin.
