ActionScript 3.0 :: Zoom In And Out - Calculate Distance Between 2 Points In Map
Aug 6, 2009
I am trying to make a program where I put in a bitmap map and then am able to calculate the distance between two points, and I have done that. Now I want to be able to zoom out and still have those two distance calculate the same distance apart, is there a way to do this with AS3 without have to manually scale my code?
For example I don't necessarily want to have to do
var distance = Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy)/scale...
Reason being is I would have to redo a lot of code.

I'm needing this for a current project, so I have been digging around quite a bit (with little luck) on finding the distance between two points VERY fast. Yes, it is quite critical that it be as optimized as possible. I have the basics, Pythagorean Theorem run in different ways, as well as the Point.distance() function.

What I am trying to do with AS3 in Flash cs4 is calculate the cursor's distance to given point (let say 400,300) and use that distance to constantly (20 fps) change my curtain's alpha value. (which is basically a box turned into a movie clip) [code]...

This code calculates the distance between 2 points by using distance formula, Math.sqrt ( (x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2) ^2). My first point has mmx and mmy coordination and second one has ox and oy coordination. My question is simple, is there any FASTER way for calculate this?

I try to calculate all the points on a curve.
The curve decided by the width(X on the picture) and height(Y on the picture) properties of a movieclip.The distance between each green point on curve is the same.

I need algorithm ideas for generating points in 2D space with defined minimum and maximum possible distances between points.
Bassicaly, i want to find a good way to insert a point in a 2D space filled with points, in such manner that the point has random location, but is also more than MINIMUM_DISTANCE_NUM and less than MAXIMUM_DISTANCE_NUM away from nearest points.

So, right now when I want to find the distance between two points, I go: dist = Math.sqrt((this_x-that_x)*(this_x-that_x)+(this_y-that_y)*(this_y-that_y)) BLECH! I don't want to do that every time. So I want to make a nice little function that I can apply to an object. Problem is, I don't know how to do this. Is it possible to end up with something as easy as: Math.dist(thisclipname, thatclipname)? How do you guys set up functions that do bulky math and return nice clean numbers?

I am creating a game in which I draw a series of polygons by creating points around a radius of a cricle.
Later on I rotate the shapes and I need to calculate the new location (X,Y) of the points based on the rotation. I have the Old XY of each point, the XY of the center of the shape, radius of shape and the rotation.
Have a look at my diagram of the problem.

I am working on a 3d zoom function. How can I calculate it it best? I have a placeholder_mc:
width: 400
height:400
_x:0
_y:0
In the placeholder_mc I have 10 obj_mc's:
orig width:400, scaled in placeholder_mc: _xscale=20
orig height:400, scaled in placeholder_mc: _yscale=20
the _x and _y are random positions
Now I need a formula that make the placeholder_mc zoom into obj_mc inside and the placeholder_mc must be _xscaled, _yscaled so that the width and height of the clicked _mc are exactly 400x400.
for the _x and _y I use.. onEnterframe=
placeholder_mc._x=placeholder_mc._x+(placeholder_m c.obj_mc._x-placeholder_mc._x)/8;
placeholder_mc._y=placeholder_mc._y+(placeholder_m c.obj_mc._y-placeholder_mc._y)/8;
So this makes the placeholder_mc move to the correct position of the clicked object but how can I scale it now the placeholder_mc so that he moves and scales correct?

I have a LineChar, with one LineSeries, on which i am drawing values ( Y axis ), on specific time ( X axis ).The problem is that i don't wanna the points which is distanced on a specific distance in time ( let say 6 hours ) to be connected.Is there a way to make LineSeries with DateTimeAxis not connecting points distanted in specific time ?

I am posting my code that attaches the movieclips on stage
[Code]...
i was hoping that when the newMc expands, all other mc would keep the same distance between each other as at initialisation. I not able to figure how to do it. maybe even an earlier post or llink where similar query was explained.

In AS3 I am trying to get the distance between 2 3D objects by using distance method.
if(Vector3D.distance(model.position,model2.position) < 100)
{
// do something
[Code]....
>>You can use it directly as a method of the Vector3D class to get the Euclidean distance between two three-dimensional points.
Which point does this method pick? Is it the closest point to the other object ?
I am just thinking of how much time this would take in testing objects with large poly count.

I as this working in AS2 and need to update to AS3...shows that AS3 doesn't like sloppy coding. Here's what I need: I pull data from an XML and that works when I put the data into a dynamic text box. However, I can't seem to get the date of birth into a variable. I have some code that calcs age in years but uses a string literal that I thought I could just replace with a variable from my XML...ain't a workin'. Here's the code I have:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.events.*;

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.

I want to make a scope wich can zoom in on button click and go back to previous stage (zoom out) also by clicking a button.Now i made it work for zooming in (when i click my button it zooms) but when i want to zoom out everything i tried didn't work .Here is the code:
//button for zoom in
zoom.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,glassMove);
function glassMove(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]..............

i've made a button that zooms into a movie clip on a rollover, but it on moves it a certain amount each time you rollover the button. code below:
on (rollOver){
_root.Mypic._width += 5;
_root.Mypic._height += 5;
}
wot i want it to do is to continue zooming in for as long as the mouse is over the button, is there anyway i can change the code to zoom in at the same amount but do it continuously until the mouse is moved off the button. Also is there anyway that i can set it so that the zoom stops at a certain percentage, i.e. it only zooms in so much and then stops. What i mean is that the user can zoom in but the picture will only zoom in to say 200% of the original size.

I am working on flash application TELESCOPE or Camera. My goal is to move around the scene and zoom-in or zoom-out I found that if I move scene, I have to move registration point, because I always want to zoom in the centre of my ocular. So far application works fine only if I move, zoom-in and than before I move any further, zoom-out! But when I move, zoom-in (not fully), move again and zoom-in again, the second zooming doesn't appear on desirable registration point

Using flex / air 2.6 working on an Android device, I am using a canvas with a TransformGestureEvent for zoom in on a map. The listening of the efect is working ok, but I canīt seem to find the information on wether the user intended zoom in or zoom out (fingers getting closer or getting apart).I expected the intention of the gesture to be identifiable with the offsetX and offsetY properties of the event, as you will do on a swipe gesture event. But I always get 0 for both properties, no matter how I do the gesture in the device.How can I know if the fingers getting closer or getting apart in a gesture zoom event?
