View 1 Repliesgiven the x & y speeds, how do i calculate the direction of movement?
View 3 RepliesI have the following code which works quite nicely but in Clockwise direction. I would like the movie to rotate in a opposite direction which is Anti-Clock direction. How to resolve the problem?The following is the code:
// Adding mouse event to our movieclip!myMovieClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateMoveClip);
// the rotateMoveClip functionfunction rotateMoveClip(e:Event){ // e.target is the
[code].....
currently I have a movieclip that follows my mouse cursor simply using
char.x = mouseX
char.y = mouseY
the movie clip is always upright, how do i add rotation so the char will rotate slowly based on the direction hes moving?
I am horrible at maths and I would like to ask how to make an object ex. an arrow turn into direction of the mouse?ENTER_FRAME and some mathematical functions, but I cant tell which and how to use them.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to rotate movieclip, while dragging, according to mouse direction and mouse x, y on that clip.
on the picture the 0, 0 of the mc containing red box is where the lines cross, the mouse point is indicated with cursor and around it is the circle where clip's x and y should be constrained and movieclip should rotate according to mouse movement direction for example: when mouse is moving straight down then the clip's x, y rotates up and stops when its 12 o'clock...
I wanna detect the direction of mouse movement. If the mouse moves tpwards the left or right of its currrent position, i want to detect it. Is there anyway to identify such movement. Actually i am implementing a 360 degree rotation of image. That means , if the mouse moves along the left side of its current position, then the image should move along its left side, otherwise it should move along the right side. For example, view this site: [URL]
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to determine the direction in which the mouse-cursor is moving (up/down)?
Kinda like a constant listener, or something.
I only know about the onMouseMove-function, but it doesnt seem to come with parameters for direction.
Maby there is something that can be done with the:
_ymouse
..parameter. Something similar to:
_ymouse ++;
..to indicate the mouse-cursor is moving downwards.
I have a clip of a small person 'flying', following the mouse coordinates. Its a 2d image facing a to one side. how I can determine when the mouse is moving right or left so that I can trigger the icon to 'flip' and face the other direction.

View 5 RepliesI would like to know how to perform a check on the direction of the movement of the mouse on stage like let us say considering the stage.height/2 as the center if the mouse moves up it should trace up and down if it moves down... I did it by storing all the _ymouse coordinates in temp array and chking if temp[i]>temp[i-1] but it doesn't work satisfactorily. i am posting the script i made...i do admit i am very bad in calculations so correct me if i went wrong somewhere

i tried to rewrite the code there, so i will understand it better.i did understand it, but there is error in the code i wrote, i could not find.
Code:
function Start() {
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, CheckDirection);

I am about to make a gallery where all the pictures are ligned up, in a vertical row collum.I wan to make the Movieclip move in the opposite direction of my mouse movement
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a dummy from a circular menu that reacts (rotate) to mouse movement, I uploaded a fla example, different colors, size, etc, but essentially the same in
function; but for now I'm freezed how to do somethings, I'm not a programer or actionscripter, but I want to learn.Currently using CS3 and AS2, downloading the FLA example may help.
Ok, in the "fla", you will see a circle who rotates versus mouse movement (I would like to make a delay rotation for a smooth feelling when mouse is moving, those like "_x += (_xmouse/5)" but with rotation. Other thing I would like to do,is... that the movement stops progressively a few degrees before the mouse reach de cian angles(a1,a2), and then, the circles doesn't move if the mouse is moving under those angles, like a... an inactive area(U1), and if it could work with instances.
i'm trying to build a "circular" menu that rotate on rollover and mouse move but with no good results. Just something like the yugo sliding menu but with buttons placed around a circonference.I don't need a dinamic menuI need a function that let the menu rotate up when cursor is below the half of the circle and viceversa.I've done a search and found a compass example but i really can't edit it. I'm a newbee and can't really figure out how to rotate a movie clip around its own axes on mouse move..

I'm trying to achieve the effect found on this site:As you can see, the cursor (the marker) slowly rotates, based on the Y value of the mouse
View 1 RepliesI tried my best to search the forum before posting, but if this issue has already been addressed, I apologise in advance. My goal is to create a movieclip that will scroll vertically based on mouse movement, rather than mouse position.I've found many tutorials on the yugop scrolling menu, but my problem with this menu is that the scrolling continues even when the mouse has stopped moving, if the mouse position is on either side of the stage.
View 1 RepliesSearched the forum and couldn't find the mouse movement using the ._x/._y tween class to move based on another mc's dimension to give me the idea how to work on it.
View 4 RepliesOne of my Clients wants a certain type animation on his buttons and he wont budge. here it is. a set of buttons (home - about - products - contact) with a line running parallel to them on top. when you roll over (lets say products) he wants that section of line to bend up and away from mouse. this 'bend' in the line 'unbends' when mouse is completely rolled off the button section but moves along the line if next button is rolled onto. This Isn't all. he says If possible he would like an object (lets say an apple) to move along the down slope of the line bend. however the more i think about this the less it works. so im only worried about the line bend for now. Im still waiting for him to send me an example he saw on another website i will post it as soon as i get.

I have a round arrow on stage (like half of a circle) and I want to make it turn left when mouse moves right and vice versa. How to accumulate this turning thing ?
View 2 RepliesWe have made a dynamic image animation using xml. We are attaching the source code herewith. At present, when you place your mouse over the images, the animation will start backwards. I.e., it will reverse the way the images are loading.
We want this animation order (normal and reverse) to control based on the mouse movement. By default, now the images are animating in one direction. That is fine now. But, we want the animation should get reversed when you place your mouse at bottom of the page. And again when you move the cursor towards top of the page, animation should again start as normal (vice versa).
how we can achieve this task using mouse placement?
Is it possible to draw motion guide/path for a mouse position based movement?
For example if I have path the is like letter H. I would need to write many clauses/conditions for the borders of the movement. It would be a LOT easier if there would be some solution that makes the object always to stay on the defined path when moving..
i have a scroller developed in as2. it basically scrolls continuously in a direction until the direction of the mouse is changed. the images of course loop in the continuous scroll. now the problem is that for 10-15 photos its ok. but when i feed it with 180 photos, it seems to show only 11. why would this be? any restriction on flash ??
View 1 Replieshave a ball with the name of mc which can be moved using the keyboard .. when you press the left mouse button shoots the ball, this ball and the other flies in the face where the cursor was in the shot .. but if you move the cursor to another location and shoot a second time then the second ball is also flying in the direction of the cursor and the first ball change direction toward a second shot ..
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

how to make that first ball did not change its direction and continued to fly in the direction of the shot?
I wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.
onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

I posted a thread last week and I get a code that give me possibility to move circle in the stage and when it got to the end of the stage it turn around and change it's way. but the code was only for X direction but I want to use it in Y direction too, to move the circle diagonal. I put the code down here. me to add Y position guide me how to add.
ActionScript Code:
var circles:Array = new Array();
var quantity:int = 2;
