With Keith Peter's "Actionscript 3.0 Animation" book it's dead easy to make one that oscillates smoothly between two fixed values but I need one that varies it's oscillation randomly (within reason of course). Imagine the teeth of a saw, up-down-up-down-up-down, very dull. What I want is more like a range of mountains, the same smooth change in height but less regular.
View 8 RepliesI have a specific request or a general pondering really.I know you can create a sine wave type thing with as, could you then perhaps create movie clips, letter by letter that would move along and up and down on this sine wave?could you then, instead of setting the size and scale of the sine wave have it react to the input levels of a mic.i've been hunting for something that will help for a while and have drawn a blank

Is there a way I can create a sine wave with any given angle between 2 points ?
I am sooooooooo lost. I need help in making a movie clip go in a wave motion with only action script. basically I am trying to make a game and I am so lost on how to make the enemy come in and fly in a wave motion from the left to the right in an up and down motion. I thought it would be easy but I must be using the wrong code since my enemy plane is just fly from left to right and not going up and down.

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to create a loop which generates a single series of sine results ranging from 0 to 1 based on 100 loops ( ie 0 ,0.011 ,0.1111........up to 1 in a single run)The results I want start at 0 and increment in a series up to 1 and then stop. I suppose this would be one half of a sine wave I have tried the following but it goes from 0 to 1 ,1 to 0 , 0 to 1 etc whereas I want a single straight run of 100 values from 0 to 1
I tried :
for(var i:Number=0;i<=100;i++){
trace((0.5*Math.sin(i)) + 0.5);
}
This does not work.
i want to create a sine wave and its speed will change depends on change in freequency and wavelength . and stop the wave movement when we click stop button.[code]
View 0 RepliesI need to make a loop that can create (and use) incremented variable names. Basically I need to dynamically create a certain number of sprites and datagrids then I need to add these dynamically created datagrids and sprites to the stage. So the static code (which works, but I think is NOT the right way to go) would look something like this (I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff but this should give you the right idea):
[Code]....
But I can't figure out the syntax and how to make it work... This MUST be possible! My knowledge is pretty thin in actionscript,
I have a bunch of letters which I am going to hang off a tree branch or some fixed bar, with string.A gentle breeze will blow against them causing them to rock (and therefore rotate) gently at different rates according to how heavy each letter is and how long the string is.
I'm hoping there is a way to assign a weight to each letter and just introduce a wind vector.f there is no easy way to do this, do I have to make movie clips for each letter and calculate for myself how much movement there will be for each letter?
Where can I find script how by pressing button I can open new window/link centered?
View 3 RepliesI'm working a project for school in which I'm using the sound spectrum. Only problem is, I only know Action Script 2, which does not use it. I'm currently using this code to create sound waves and it works fine.
var url:String = "[URL]";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
s.load(request);
var song:SoundChannel = s.play();
[Code] .....
How to turn the sound into numbers (which are then usually used to draw waves).
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I've got a grass animation, where the blades are blowing around in the wind. This works exactly as planned. But I've now got to bring flowers in to the mix and need to adapt the actionscript to have an effect on a shape/movie clip. I've tried to adapt it as best I can, but my coding skills are ropey at best and I'm having no luck at all.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to animate a string.Basically what it does is shoot straight up at a random angle, the other end is attached to a point, and when it's done, the free end that's up in the air will fall down with gravity and do a bend/curve in the wind as if it were free falling down with gravity.

I have a logo that I made in Fireworks, and it looks decent, but I was wondering if anyone could mimic it with movement. For example, if someone could use actionscript to make it "wiggle" or wave like a flag in the wind, that would be awesome.
Notice how the blue line itself stays at about the same thickness (it barely starts getting thicker), but the shading around it thickens as it goes more and more to the right.
Here's the image (ignore the text):
I'm generating a sine wave and playing it as a sound. But When I call SoundMixer.StopAll() it's causing a click when sounds stops. I think its because it's cutting the sound off in the middle of the wave, I was wondering of a way to make the sine wave slowly ripple out before i stop it. Is there already functions to do this in Action Script 3 or is my sine wave function i need to modify here is my code for the wave.
function sineWave(event:SampleDataEvent):void { var sample:Number for (var i:int=0; i<8192; i++) { sample = Math.sin((i+event.position) * ((2 * Math.PI)/44100) * freq); // freq is just any frequency event.data.writeFloat(sample * .15); event.data.writeFloat(sample * .15); } }
I am trying to create a similar effect to what is used in CityVille for dropping coins and experience icons, they do a custom move animation and it first moves a little bit up and then down. It looks like it is following a spline or a sine function.
View 2 RepliesThere are a couple of problems i'm having with this - the first is how to work out how to find where the tip of each sine curve is (ie the frequency) and the second is to work out how to rotate each object so that it slides sideways along the sine wave(note file is 800 x 600)here's my code: CarouselTest.as:

import com.greensock.easing.Sine;

how draw sine and other functions using the drawing api ? so far all my efforts have yielded amazing random designs but not the desired functions.
View 5 RepliesI want to be able to take a general sine wave y=Math.sin(x) and rotate it around some other angle, so instead of going strictly left-to-right, I'd like to go from, say, the top left corner toward the "center," or from the bottom right to the center, or any other arbitrary angle. Like this: I want to be able to use that wave as a "path" for enemies in a game, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around it. I've tried matrix transformations, but I was missing something there, too, because the origin was wrong.
