I basically need to come up with the x/y coordinates of the point within the triangle, from the ratio of the 3 variables.
Is there any function / algorithm that anyone is using to create this? The language I am using by the way is ActionScript 3
I have a button that I want to drag and drop to another movieClip which will then stop playing. the button is dragging and dropping fine, but the hitTest isn't working I'm guessing because the button is a button, not a movieClip. I am not clear on how to make a button movieClip in as2
This code is on the button frame 1 and works fine
on (press) {
startDrag("stopSign");

I've created a Flex app which uses Coltware's airxmail to send SMTP messages. It calls a locally-hosted SMTP server (hmailserver), which relays the email out as appropriate. When run within the Flash Builder environment, everything works as intended. I can also send email both locally and remotely from the SMTP server using telnet, so I know that it's not a problem with the server. When hosted on the email server box itself, outside of the GUI, the app fails to send email. I've created a crossdomain.xml file to allow this access, but I don't believe it's configured properly.

I've got a grid of images which are added to a imagecontainer(Sprite) in a class. When I click a button, the imagecontainer gets tweened(scaled) to 0.2 Now I would like to start dragging around the images. on mouse-down I add an enterFrame Event:

Unfortunately the image is never on the mouseposition but has a increasing/decreasing offset to the mouse pointer.The alternative, startDrag/stopDrag works perfectly, but I stll need the mouseX/mouseY for placing the image on a grid.I tried also parent.mouseX, no luck with that.Why is this happening? I thought mouseX/mouseY is always depending on the stage-dimension.
Looking for an operator in AS 3.0 that will work as a like or contains operator. Trying to create a search field that looks for a value (keyword) when a person types in a question in the text box.When it finds this key word it will then play a video. So if they type in "What are your training options?" It will look for train and play an flv file for our training courses.

Is there any simple way to use a plus or minus operator in AS2?

View 3 RepliesFrom a position on an Array of sector Sprites on an 11 x 11 grid, I am trying to "sense" what Child occurs at nearby sector Sprites. I felt certain I could use something like this
if (sectorArray [currentSector - 11].getChildAt is MovieClip) {
//do stuff

but it doesn't seem to work. I changed my visibility settings to true, thinking the false visibility might be a problem, but no result.

was asking both, condition1 and condition2 to be true (the case when they both are giving false and the end-result is true, could be achieved in other way). In Flex, same code would perform "some actions" if the both conditions are false. I just was wondering if is there any chance to make it break after finding first false in a queue, or I have no choice and should write nested if's?
