I have to marbles (balls) lets call them m1 and m2, I am trying to have m1 move across the stage and hit m2, then have m1 stop and m2 continue moving off the screen at the same rate as m1.
I am able to get m1 to move over (left to right) and hit m2 and stop using hitTestObject, but I can't figure out how to get m2 to move to the right.
public function create():ArrayCollection{
var index:int = 0;
var data:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
[Code]....
originalData is the original state of my data from database. data is a copy of originalData used to be manipulated as the provider for my List component. There's a button I use to call the create() function above, that would mean, I want to revert all changes in data, and go back to everything I have in originalData.
But when I debug my function, originalData has all the changes made in data.
When I use
list.selectedItem.thing = "new string";
is supposed to modify data[index].thing, because data is my List.dataprovider. but it changes originalData[index].thing also and this collection wasn't used for anything, except for creating a copy of itself!
I don't know why this happens. I didn't know how to phrase this behaviour as a google query.
This has consumed more time than its functionality is worth.
EDIT:
I've also tried this, but it doesn't work:
public function create():ArrayCollection{
var index:int = 0;
var data:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();

Is there a way to have multiple seperate objects follow the same motion tween, so one object follows the other, or do they all have to have thier own individual tween?
View 1 RepliesI'm a beginner in Flash-AS, and I have been spending a lot of time on a (simple?) problem, still I didn't find anything that helps me. Here it is: I would like to place (via ActionScript) an object (let's say a ball) along a curve (free-shaped). The position of the ball is defined by a percentage in relation to the length of the curve : for example, 0% or 100% put the ball at the start or the end of the curve, 50% put the ball exactly at the middle of the curve... I don't need any animation, I just want to place the ball at the initialisation.
View 1 RepliesI have a CS4 document with many objects, motion paths over multiple layers. I want to scale everything, including the motion paths of each object. I've tried to do this by Clicking 'Edit Multiple Frames', then 'Selecting All Frames' and finally scaling everything via the Transform panel. Everything appears to have been scaled apart from the motion paths. Is there a way to do this?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.
View 2 RepliesI have an object that gets attached to the stage everytime I click (like a side shooting game). What I want is the object to have a speed in a specific direction. I got it to work by the code-
Code:
if (total_bolt_no>0) {
var bolt_name="bolt"+total_bolt_no;
var bolt_n:Sprite=this.getChildByName(bolt_name) as heroweapon;
[Code].....
The problem that arises is that when I spawn another object the previous one becomes still. I tried using the for loop but everytime I click the angle also changes, thus changing the speed of all attached objects.
I am using the random motion code found here at Kirupa. [URL]I have the code working fine but I have a question about fixing it to my needs. The way it is now, you change the height and width variables so that the objects don't move off the screen. This works fine, if you are using the whole screen area at:

If I perform a motion tween along a curved path, Flash CS4 does not allow to change the curves to "corner point" or "linear" in the motion editor. URL...
View 2 RepliesI have been searching far and wide for a solution on how to offer slow motion and fast motion options for users that upload video to my webstie. There is an implementation on Google Video that has exactly what I am looking for: the option to speed up or slow down the video and continue to play the audio. The screenshot is below. I know that Flowplayer has an option to slow down or speed up video when implemented with Wowza server. However, when using that approach, there is no sound.
I have also seen the option from Enounce called MySpeed that allows video to be slowed or quickened, but this requires a browser plugin which is too much of a barrier for our users. How does Google do it? How can you add an option to a flash player to slow down or speed up video?Here is a screen shot. You can see the option to change the speed of the video to 1.5x. It also has options to go to 0.5x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x, 2.5x, and 3.0x.
I would like to create a polygon that changes its shape (circle, trapezium, square, rectangle, triangle) based on specific buttons that the user clicks? An existing shape has to be able to morph into all the others. For instance, the trapezium has to morph to a square, circle, rectangle or triangle.
If I were to create each transition manually, I would end up with 5x4=20 scenes. Is there a way that I can just assign each shape to its own frame, and deploy actionscript to set in motion the transitions from one frame to the 4 other possible frames? I am very grateful to anyone to just point me in the right direction,
I am developing a VC++ application in which I need to play SWF files. In my SWF file there are some integer values, which I

functions (in the SWF AS2) from the application.
I managed to create a simple flash animation but it's not 100% correct.
-First, what's the proper way to transfer an image in flash?I chose paste special. It worked but it made the image a bit pixelated. The original looked fine.
-Second besides adding more or less frames, how do you change the speed of the entire timeline.
-Third, does an image need to be converted in any way? The animated image is it's own layer. So does it have to be converted to symbol or movie or something else?
-Fourth, how do I move(not motion) the image. Do I have to move each frame group or is there a way to move the entire timeline if I need to realign the image?

View 1 RepliesI am wondering If It Is possible to have point transfer from one swf to another. If It calls It up? for Instance...(flashmx2004)I have a game points system working. But want to make It seem more random with out one swf being so large. and Instead have many small swf but one primary swf. That the point acquired In the other swfs would transfer to the main scoreboard. If this Is possible please let me know. And also how do I do this.

How I can make the process in different way.
It's not exactly that, but it works the same way. It's about a login form with Flash and PHP. It must send data (username and password) to PHP, PHP has to check for a record in MySQL and then to return data to Flash. How does it works and how to return the data to Flash?
View 1 RepliesI made an 11 minute movie in flash that has no interactivity, but does have video, photographs, drawings, and some visuals generated in flash, including text. The document size is presently 1280 x 640. Now I have to prepare the movie for Beta SP and HDCAM for projection in a cinema. The transfer house wants a file with Apple ProRes4444 codec. What would be the procedure to get the best image quality? This could include starting over in After Effects. Really, I never thought I would be showing the movie under these circumstances, or this big.

How do I add motion blur to a motion tween?
View 2 Repliesim writing AS3 under linux and as such do not have access to ANY of the fl.* packages, including tweens, motions, special animations and components. I can only use Math.* and XY Grid Coordinates to calculate motion manually.
I can make movement of sprites fairly easily on a coordinate system, but this restricts how the path can go. Usualy only an up,down,left,right movements for the simplest math. I suppose this could be expanded to move in more varied directions but its not quite what im looking for.
I would like to be able to draw an invisible line that a shape can follow. Then it can have curves or bends in it without problem. I want to then start the sprite at the 1st pixel of the line and set its next coorinate based on where the line is at, but at 10px down it (and so on) till it reaches the end of the line. Is it possible because I cant think of a way? Are there any other good PureAs3 motion tutorials around?

View 1 RepliesThis is not something new I'm sure and a lot of people have found or are looking for a solution for stablishing an encrypted data transfer between flash and php but the wiered thing is that there are few resources when I try googling about this so, all I'm trying to achive is to encrypt data in flash with a key or something (I don't want to build my own algorithm, I'd like to use some standard ones like MD5) and then send the data out to a PHP file and after the php read the data it will also encrypt and send the results back to flash...
I was happy and downloaded the as3crypto class from google code... installed and ran it and it worked for the first tests... then when I tried using that method in my project I noticed that the encrypted data being sent from PHP to flash, sometimes does not work! again I searched and found out that some other people are also having the same problem and are saying that this as3crypto does not work well with sending data to php!!!I'm out of time and out of mind so what should I do if I want my data sent to php and vice versa to be encrypted? or maybe I'm using that as3crypto thing in a wrong way?! I did exactly as described in the above sample blog.
I am working on an RPG-type game, and in this game I've defined multiple objects for characters, named char1, char2, etc, then assigned the objects values such as Health, Magic, Strength, etc. I then created a dummy object with all of these same values, except every value is set to zero. There are some 30 values in every object.
I would like to see if I could do something like:
Code:
dummychar = char1;
to transfer all of the values from char1 to dummychar instantly without having to define every value transfer, however, I can't seem to find the correct bit of code, because doing the above seems to erase all the values from the dummychar object completely.
The point of this excersize is the make the dummychar object a placeholder so I can switch char1 with char2, meaning char1 would take char2's place, and vice versa. The dummychar object will hold the values for char1, then char2's values will overwrite char1's values, then the dummychar's values will overwrite char2's.
So, in pseudocode:
Code:
dummychar = char1;
char1 = char2;
char2 = dummychar;
My current way of doing this includes telling every single value in the char objects to transfer, but that takes up quite a bit of coding space, and I was wondering if there is an easier way.
I have a function with codes (variables, events, and events) that perform one after another. However, after the last code performs the main function ends. I want the codes inside this function to repeat itself after the last of the code perform.
How do I get those codes to do that?
Here is an example of what I have: see attach code.
I have continuous stated but of at the moment, the logo does not continue. I am guessing that I need maybe to put this in a loop. If this is so, I need an example as to how do this.
The second question, I have these codes on one frame (one scene). I want to create other pages or scene and transfer all of the codes to the other scenes. How do I do this? What is an example of the code that I would use to transfer the main function to the other scenes? I guess I could copy all of the codes to the other scenes but I am sure there has to be a faster way.
I am struggling with the following situation. An addToCart button adds an item to the PayPal cart with the code below, which does work, but has the result that the visitor is directed to the PayPal site during the shopping process. The transfer of the data should however happen in the background and the visitor should only be directed to the PayPal site when the view cart option is clicked. Is there any other way to transfer the data than having to navigate to the PayPal Site?[code]...
