Im trying to figure out how to travel along a plane to a point in 3d space. It needs to feel as though travelling down a road. I have attached a swf with the desired effect. Im using the formula scale = fl/(fl + z);the problem im having is it looks fine until scale is > 1. I need the plane to stay central to the screen.
View 0 RepliesI have a MC(a small army tank) that I can rotate using the right and left buttons. I want to make it move forward when I push the up arrow - The Catch . . . I want it to move in the same direction it is currently rotated. Example: I rotate the tank 10 degrees and then I push the up arrow off it goes in that direction.
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on a curved scrollbar. I want to limit the travel of the scroll thumb using two clip instances that mark the top and bottom of the scroller. To do this, I believe that I'll need to use localToGlobal on my top (topMark) and bottom (botMark) markers. Unfortunatly, my attempts to get the global coordinates has failed. In the attached file, the code can be found in the actions layer of the curvedScrollbar clip.
View 1 Replieswhat I am trying to achieve using MC Tween 2. I need to be able to update X, Y coordinates while the tweening is running. I don't want to restart it but update X, Y values. For example, I want to modify the distance to travel on an object in given time. It means that if tweening started with distance to travel 100px on Y coordinate and time to ravel is set to 10 seconds and if I change Y coordinate within 1 second of 10 to 200 px the the rest 9 seconds will tween the object to the 200 px point. I hope I described clear.

I managed to get the bounce working how do I make it continue to move forward after the collision?

View 3 RepliesThere are 10 frames where playhead travels from frame 2 to frame 11. If I want the playhead to travel randomly in fixed manner such as :
frame 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11 not using gotoAndPlay, just using script in first frame.
I am making a pong game and am having some problems with the boundaries. The ball bounces off just fine but if i hit it to close to the boundary, the ball will get stuck in the wall and slowly travel upwards. Bouncing back and forth. It happens on both sides. Also How do you set a key press movement to stop. I want to be able to stop at the boundary if i hold the left key down but it would stop the game entirely. I have it set now so that the controls reverse every time a boundary is hit. My big problem is the boundary though. I will eventually figure out the paddle movement on my own. Another problem I am having is getting my score value to increment correctly. It always reads as a NaN until I score. When I do it goes 1, 11, 111, and so forth. I have the variable set as number values but the dynamic box, I think, is still reading them as strings
View 1 Repliesi have a list cranked out from an XML file (movieclips attached to empty clip). currently it loads as the SWF launches. i can't get it to scroll because the variables won't travel outside the xml.onLoad process. what i'm wondering is once i bury this process into a button activated function, will i be able to access the list's properties? (sweet Buddha i hope that made sense...)
it seems the fundamental principle i'm struggling with is var/scope issues: how and where variables/properies can travel. i can't seem to find an explanation that makes sense from a C++ perspective. everytime i think i get it, something like this kicks me in the nuts. for those who want to dig, i'm using Kirupa's custom scrollbar modified (seemingly unsuccessfully) to my own setup. if you can recommend a different one more suited to this sort of thing, i'm open to it. if this doesn't make sense, i can attach the FLA but its a bit of a read and i'm in need of an answer before Thursday. methinks once this project is done, i'm going to hire someone for a week to fill in the gaps in my knowledge!
I have numerous objects, many of them are stored within other objects (and overlap in physical space). As I zoom into an object, it begins to fade away. At the moment it begins to fade, I load in the child object (or create a child object if one doesn't exist). I want to turn off the parent object's ability to respond to most events. The exception is the scroll wheel, which needs to be sent to both objects simultaneously so that the parent can continue to fade out as I zoom farther in. Try as I might, I can't find a way to tell Flex "hey, for right now dispatch these types of events ONLY to this object." I either end up with event dispatch stack overflows from trying to manually redirect the events, or I get events that don't activate at the correct time or on the correct object. What can I do?

I'm basically trying to emulate Photoshop's Vanishing Point tool where you can define the 4 2D points and the 3D plane is calculated from that information, in terms of the rotation of the plane relative to x y and z axes.
So if you have an image like this one:
And you define the points of the four corners, maybe like this:
It would define the 3D plane that the surface must live on relative to the x y and z axes. Researching this has led me to some tutorials on drawTriangles and Homographies, but they all seem to be focused on mapping bitmap data and I can't seem to find anything that defines a 3D plane itself.
I have a 2d plane rotated on its x axis, with 2d display objects I want to move around on the plane. Its pretty similar to a chess board [URL]..
The board is a rotated rectangle, and the pieces are just 2d display objects. Whats the easiest way to manipulate those objects so they appear to be moving on the board?
I have an array of points and I need square planes to be drawn between these points and distorted if points change their coordinates (see what I mean in the attached file).So what is the best practice I should use to create such set of planes knowing just coordinates of the points (planes vertices)?

View 1 RepliesI add an FLVPlayback component on to a Papervision Plan. So far so good. Video plays, 3d works. But I am facing two issues:
1. Even though I set my MovieMaterial to interactive, I canot click on the controls. I have found someone else that stumbled onto something similar (link 1, link 2), but since they did not have answer, I though of asking here.
2. The FLVPlayback is jittery. What I mean is that the component's x position moves all the time from something like 0 to 10 or 20, then back to zero. Remember in the old days of analog television (if you're old enough) when you had to play with the tracking? It looks like that.

if I take a square, turn into a Movie Clip, addjust the Perspective Angle, and the Vanishing Points. Then I rotate the square along the x axis so that the square is now a plane laying on the z axis. How do I get the length of the Movie Clip? I need to know when a plane starts and ends on the z axis. I also need to get the width.

I can't seem to get hitTest to work for the plane in my little game. The code I'm using in the plane MC is:

I want to the badguy plane to hit the player's plane and take a subtraction from the player's heath. I've fiddled around with using "this" instead of the full path of the playerMC - no success. My hitTest is working fine for the bullets!
A longtime AS2 developer finally making the transition to AS3 and Papervision all in one big leap.Working from Lee Brimelow's awesome pv2 tutorial as a base I've been able to create a plane with a movieclip mapped to it. What I'd ideally like to do is limit the rotation of the plane to maximum of -45 to 45 degrees on the X and Y.[code]I've tried using basic conditionals to restrict p.rotationX and p.rotationY but they seem to be ignored.
