ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling Bunch Of Point Objects Relative To Center Stage

Jan 8, 2012

All though I can scale down the size of my objects and can shift them to their correct positions when scaling. I cannot shift them to the correct relative positions, relative to the screen centre.

Code:
level=1; //starting scale level
public function scaleOut(level:int) // scale to a level 1-4{
for (var r = 0; r < Main.ballArray.length; ++r){
// scale radius
Main.ballArray[r].bRadius *= (oldLevel / level);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding A Point Relative To A Center Point?

Nov 9, 2010

I'm trying to figure out how to find a point relative to the center of an object, modified by its rotation. For example, in the attached swf, I've been messing around trying to draw trails to a bitmap, coming out of the thrusters. I didn't have a problem at first, but as the ship rotated, the lines that were being drawn wouldn't remain relative.

http:[url]....

I'm sure this is because I have no idea what I'm doing, and I've just been sort of idioting my way through it. That aside, is there an easy way to find the point I'm looking for? For instance, say I want a point at Y -14 of my ship, but I want that to remain relative to the ship as it rotates.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Atan2 Outputs The Following Angle Scheme - Assuming The Point Relative To Which The Math Is Done Is In The Center Of The Circle

Sep 16, 2011

So let's begin. I want to build a wheel which you can spin, similar to a roulette wheel. You can do this both ways (CW and CCW, this issue causing the bug, actually). The wheel has some acceleration to it too, and I achieve this by measuring the start and final angle of the drag movement, using Math.atan2(dy, dx). The problem is the following: atan2 outputs the following angle scheme, assuming the point relative to which the math is done is in the center of the circle.

atan2 returns a value measured in radians, so I'm using the classic angle*180/Math.PI formula. I've changed this original scheme into the following, using some simple math to shift the angles a bit, to resemble more accurate circle angles (going up to 360 degrees) The problem that I'm facing at the moment is should the user decide he wants to swipe clockwise, and moves through the right point, where 0 turns into 360 or 180 turns into -180, the whole angle difference thing is capsized. It registers a CCW movement (as if the user swiped his mouse all around the circle). So, I'm looking for some ideas as to how I can work around this small issue.

IDE :: Proportional Scaling MovieClips Relative To Stage?

Jan 30, 2009

how to proportionally scale multiple movieClips relative to the stage size.

I understand movieclip placement relative to the stage, and I have been using a code to scale MovieClips as a fullscreen background (also proportionally)

But

I can not figure out for the life of me how to scale other movieclips in relation
to the stage size.

for example I have a background_mc that proportionally scales with the stage
to fill without distortion.

HOW do I then place another MC say center aligned (I know how to do that) that will scale with the background without distortion?

Ideally I would like to place several MC's on my stage all scaling in proportion with the stage yet independently.

I have not been able to find any documentation on this. lots of tutorials on backgrounds and color fills and the like but nothing on proportional scaling of independent mc's

this is the code I use for my background_mc (can it be modified or should it be thrown out the window to achieve independent scaling?)

Code:

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

basically just wondering if its possible to scale an MC about the center of the stage as opposed to the top left of the MC? I thought about setting the X & Y as stage width / 2 + MC width / 2 but cant as the user needs to be able to move the MC which is much bigger than the stage and zoom in on a point in the center rather than just the center of the MC.

ActionScript 3.0 :: External SWF Scaling To Objects Outside Of Stage?

Dec 24, 2009

I have an swf in which objects go outside the boundaries of the stage (but are properly masked). Whenever I externally load this swf into a container it scales down to fit in the objects located off stage. EX:I have tried removing the objects outside the boundaries and the stage does not shrink the image. The container is the same dimensions as the external swf.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Bunch Of Objects That Are Dragable?

Sep 8, 2009

I have a bunch of objects that are dragable. You click and hold the mouse button to drag them around, then release the mouse button to put them back down. The problem is that when an object is dragged so that another object is between it and the mouse cursor, and the mouse button is released, the object gets stuck to the cursor. Clicking and releasing the mouse button is the only way to drop the object. Is there any way to fix this? Or, better yet, is there a way to make it so an object is immediatelly moved in front of every other object when it's clicked on?

As3 :: Flash - Rotating Image And Then Moving X And Y Relative To Center?

Feb 21, 2011

I am in the midst of finishing up a design application where you can upload images and colors. I use the greensock transform manager. I am taking anything a user does and recording it so I can recreate what they made on larger scale behind the scenes (to be exported for printing purposes)

The problem I am running into is with rotation and moving x and y values. The transform manager does everything relative to a center point, but when i recreate the image object the registration point is at the top left. I have found how to rotate around the center of the object using the transform matrix, but I can't seem to move the x and y correctly because these values change when you rotate. I want to just move the image to the left or right relative to the center. How could I go about doing this.

Here is how I rotate.

private function rotateAroundCenter (ob:*, angleDegrees:Number, ptRotationPoint:Point) {
var m:Matrix=ob.transform.matrix;
m.tx -= ptRotationPoint.x;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Image Pan - Want To Center/scale Relative To Position At Click?

Aug 19, 2006

I've recently taken Krilnon's tutorial on interactive image panning, and have a need for more complexity. My image to be panned (relative to user's mouse movement) has several 'hot spot' buttons placed within. Each hot spot, when clicked, is to smoothly zoom and shift within the mask, with pertinent info displayed next to each, once zoom and shift is complete. almost like I'm making a motion tween, where the final position is known, but the start position is wherever the BG image is when the user clicks the nested button. I need to determine the x-position at the moment of click of the button (different for each button), and then, I think, use a simple-math "stagger-step" method of moving and scaling, until I've reached my final dest. here's the link to the tutorial I originally referenced:If anyone knows of a tutorial or example out there, I'd love directions to it(them). or,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Bunch Of Objects And Store Them In An Array

Jun 1, 2010

I've had the nagging thought of eventListeners vs container looping. For example, you could create a bunch of objects and store them in an array; make a loop that traverses the array and tells each object to execute a method. In contrast I could tie an eventListener to the object in it's constructor function that tells it to perform a task every frame.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing A Bunch Of Objects Added At Runtime Via A Timer?

Sep 23, 2011

After adding an image to the stage, turning it into a Movie clip, and setting linkage in library to Export for Actionscript, I'm now using a timer to add a bunch of roses to the stage as a video plays.How can I get rid of all these clips once the video is over?Do I need to add all of them into an extra container and then just removeChild that container at the end? Or do I need to use something like getNumberOfChildren and then create a loop that removes them one by one?The clips (myRose) are fairly small and do not have any event listeners added to them.  I just use TweenMax to move them from top to bottom of the screen.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling From External Point

Jun 23, 2009

I want to create an animation which simulates a camera pulling backward through a forest of trees. I've created a tree symbol and I can scale it down over time, which looks pretty good. So theoretically I can generate a whole punch of these trees on either side of my stage and gradually scale them down toward a common vanishing point in the middle of the stage (and I will also gradually move the vanishing point off to the side to simulate the camera pull back transitioning into a sideways pan). The problem is that scaleX, scaleY attributes always scale down toward a preset registration point on the symbol that I don't seem to be able to change programatically at runtime, whereas I need to be able to scale the tree toward the vanishing point.

The only solution I've come up with is to parent the tree symbol to another invisible symbol whose registration point IS at the vanishing point, then scale down that invisible symbol so that the tree scales down and also transposes itself in the direction of the vanishing point. But this feels cumbersome. I bet there is a way to do this with matrix math, if only I had a better understanding of it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Play Mc If Scaling Of Loader Reaches Set Point?

Nov 4, 2010

I have a scale up and down function that increases or decreases the size of an external loaded image inside a loader. What i am now trying to do and having trouble with is playing certain messages when the scaling reaches a certain point.

For instance when the user uses the 'increaseScale' function and scales 'image_Content' up by 40% its original size then 'warning_msg.visible = true;'

When they increase it by 65% then 'stop_msg.visible = true;'

This will then respond the same way if the user decreases the scale back to 40% and so on.

I cannot work this one out, i have posted the code below and have attached the fla file...
