ActionScript 3.0 :: A Gradual Offset Of A MC (using Loops)?
Jun 14, 2010
im trying to actionscript a simple animation where a combination of MC's move towards areas on the screen triggred by mouse events.What would be the best way of gradually ofsetting a MC, with the control to stop them with further mouse events.I have used tweens (example below) but i need to be able to stop them mid tween, i have tried using if statement to stop the clip but i cant seem to overide the tween.I have limited experience but im guessing a time based loop that i could supply an if statement withbooleons would be my answer. Are time loops possible with actionscript 3.(my thinking is(mouse event. start time based loop -offseting MC- Mouse Event 2 stops loop with if. )
tween example i used
(function moveToLeft(event:MouseEvent):void {
xMovement = new Tween(walkMC, "x", None.easeOut, walkMC.x, mouseX, 8, true); )
ive found the timer class, i should be able to make summit work with this

I have seen a couple of flash movies of late that have a nifty element to them, when the user resizes his window the movie slides to the centre or relative position, rather than snapping.THIS SITE is one example of the effect I mean When you resize your window the text moves gradually to a relative position.How is this done? is it via action scripting or through the html/java?It is a nice little touch, I like it. Do you think if you can dictate the position of certain elements you can dictate the size of elements according to window size?

I have a movieclip called "clip1" and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some code for getting this to gradually blur to a strength of 10 when a button is pressed. Also, instead of button pressed, maybe an onclip event.

I'm making an animation with sky, clouds, scenery etc. during the daytime, and I need it to turn to night on rollover of a particular button. I'm such a flash virgin though, I don't know how to do this.
I'm guessing there's a way of changing the colours/tints of the objects so I can keep the same place in the animation, but I'd also like to make changes happen in the animation like leaves falling, lightning, bats... is there a way of doing this in a new scene but keeping the clouds from the first scene so they don't jump to a different point in the animation?

Just wondering where there is a good tutorial on a script for a scroll bar that has a gradual elastic property. An example would be the American Airlines site. Notice the scrollbar on the right.P.S. I already did a bunch of searches on the forum and I skimmed through the tutorials here already with no luck, so I did put some effort into it .

I'm trying to "fade" out a movie clip when I click on another movie clip. I know how to change the visibility to false or alpha to 0, but I want it to do this gradually rather then instantly.This is the code I currently have placed on the movieclip I'm using as a button, I am only trying to fade the SolidPurple, everything else is working exactly like I want it to...
Code:
on (press) {
this._parent.holderGreen.attachMovie("PathGreen","PathGreen2",1);
this._parent.SolidBlue._visible = false;
this._parent.SolidOrange._visible = false;
[code]....

I have built a little script for gradual alpha fading in and fading out on RollOver and RollOut.
on (rollOver) {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mvWhathandset._alpha += (100-this.mvWhathandset._alpha)/20; };
} on (rollOut) {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mvWhathandset._alpha += (0-this.mvWhathandset._alpha)/10;
};}
If you rollover and rollout a single instance it works perfectly. When I place two instances side by side (alterning the instance name for each script obviously) and move the mouse over each of them the script falls to pieces, with one instance stopping the other and generally screwing things up!

I'm new to AS3 and desperately trying to figure out how to smoothly accelerate the frame rate of a movie clip (let's say from 0 to 24 over the course of a second or two) as a result of rolling over a button. I've been working on it for about a week just to get this far, and now I've hit a wall. Here's my code thus far:
stop();
var cf:int;
var fr:int = 1;[code]....
Basically, right now it starts at a very slow frame rate and stays there, never getting up to 24 fps. The only two objects in the scene are button1 and box1. The desired functionality is that when you hover over button1, the box1 movie clip starts playing slowly then accelerates up to 24 fps and continues playing at that rate until you roll out of button1.

My webapp progressively slows down over 45 min of use. People will be using it for longer, and it needs maintain its snappiness.I'm making sure to dump() any Bitmaps I use and of course clear any intervals that are running, but for some reason there's a buildup over time, and only restarting the browser clears up the lag, for example, when the user is entering text.I'm going to go ahead that it's an error in how I'm building things and not a Flash memory leak
Question 1: I read somewhere that every time that I "cacheAsBitmap," the movieclip must explicitly be set to cacheAsBitmap = false, or else the memory won't be freed up, in the same way that Bitmaps must be dump()ed to free up memory.I'm assuming I need to only do this for MCs that I cacheAsBitmap by code, and not through the GUI. Do I need set cacheAsBitmap = false via code even for MovieClips that I check off with "use runtime bitmap caching" through the Flash GUI?
Question 2: When I have added filters (like a DropShadowFilter) to the filter array of a movieClip, do I need to do anything to free up that memory, such as delete the references to the filters, or set filters to a blank array, before the MovieClip is removed... or is this done automatically? I have been assuming that it is handled by flash, but this could be a HORRIBLE assumption.

so I'm working on an app requiring me to lay some simple HTML as multicolumn text, and hacking around w/ g.skinner's old regexp method of reflowing as3 TextFields. I'll be happy to share this code if I can get it working. No desire to get into screwing with text.engine at this point, and this has to be back compatible to FP9 anyway.
So I'm back-and-forth parsing from likely break points to determine if we're in a tag here, and jump ahead to the end of it if we are. The ridiculous issue I'm up against is simply that there doesn't seem to be a TextField method for getting the htmlText offset -- NOT the visible text offset -- of a character. Is there a way to do that?

I need to check (for my own good reasons) whether the cursor is located within the bounds of a particular object. I'm using a simple code to do this...
if(mouseX > hsSlot1.x && mouseX < (hsSlot1.x + hsSlot1.width) && mouseY > hsSlot1.y && mouseY < (hsSlot1.y + hsSlot1.height))
{
//My code
}
This, theoretically, should work perfectly! However, there is an offset (and one I did NOT set, mind you!) of about 16 between the hsSlot1's visual position (where it appears to start on the screen) and hsSlot1.x. There is a similar offset on the y axis, but I haven't measured it yet.The only thing I can think of for this is that hsSlot1 is an instance of a button (one with only one state at that) that was scaled to fit. However, I don't think that is it, because the numbers show that the entire object is merely offset at its current size.

How do I determine where an MC's center is relative to its edges?
I'm developing a tool that a variety of noobs (as if I'm not still a noob) will be using, and I don't trust them to keep art with 0,0 being the top left corner.
How do I figure out that the left edge is now at -111px, and the top at -52, and the right at 12, and the bottom at 334?
Or what if they draw it so the left edge is at 56px and the right edge at 583?
Essentially, I want to determine the center of my artwork, wherever it is relative to the center of the MC

I've developed an FLEX application for distributed data administration. When our Asian employees specify a date, it will be saved +1 day.If I check my timezone offset it is +60, their offset is +520.
var dNow:Date = new Date();
trace("Your time zone offset: " + dNow.getTimezoneOffset() + " minutes");
I assume this is the problem? If so, would you suggest that I correct the entered date by 460 minutes before sending it to our server for saving? How to do that?

I`m making a game where the player follows the mouse and shoots towards it. But I realized the laser-thing didn`t seem to be coming straight from the player. So I added a line going strait up and down on the player movie clip, and it seems that the rotate code is slightly offset.

I've ran into a weird problem with getCharBoundaries, I could not figure out what coordinate space the coordinates returned from the function was in. What ever I tried I could not get it to match up with what I expected. So I made a new project and and added simple code to highlight the last charater in a textfield, and all of a sudden it worked fine. I then tried to copy over the TextField that had been causing me problems, into the new project. And now the same weird offset appeared 50px on the x axis.Everything else was spot on. So after some headscracthing comparing the two TextFields, I simply can not see a difference in their properties or transformation.
So I was hoping that someone might now what property might affect the coordinates returned by getCharBoundaries.

Here is the problem. I've created custom RectangularBorder and set it as border skin for TitleWindow. After this manipulation inner content of window is starting at 0,0 point of it. How could I set offset of it?
Just setting top padding does not work because scroll bar still begins from the top of the window after this manipulation.

I'm projecting some vectors using the Utils3D.projectVectors() method. This gives me the (x,y) screen points. Then I'm using graphics.drawGraphicsData(); to draw a GraphicsTrianglePath containing these points.
The points are drawn at the top left (0,0) of the stage, but I want them to be at the middle (275,200). I know there are several ways of doing this, like for instance, adding 275 to all the screen points x values, and adding 200 to the y values, but I think that would be a massive operation.I can also set the sprite containers x and y, but I want its position to stay in the top left.
Simple way of drawing it in the middle?

This might be more of a Safari thing rather than Flash being that I've not seen this happen on any other browser or OS, but would anyone have any idea why this Flash embed of our player is offset as it is in Safari:?
[URL]
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for those not in Safari:The weird thing is that it seems to only be *visually* offset; that is, if you roll over the area with your mouse, you'll see that it interacts as if it's in the right place and not offset; the browser treats it like it's in the right place, but it's visually offset to the top-left some dozens of pixels...

tha'ts part of a bigger project, but i've isolated the bug in this source : [URL]
the fix i would like :
-seeing the whole first pic and whole last pic when scrolling to the border left and right
-placing the first pic at x:70 at start, and enter fullscreen
if someone may have a look on this , that's only a 2 mn fix for a skilled as3 programmer, but for me a headache

I am calling a JS function through the ExternalInterface using Flex which requires the absolute X and Y coordinates to create a pop-up menu. The Flex application is displayed on the center of an HTML page, therefore there is an HTML X and Y offset to consider.
I have tried using the LocalToGlobal and ContentToGlobal functions, but these are just giving me the X and Y coordinates relative to the Flex application, it is not considering the HTML X and Y offset of having the Flex app in the center of the page or varying different screen resolutions.
Is the best approach to retrieve the HTML X and Y offset using JavaScript? Is there a Flex function I can use that provides the absolute X and Y coordinates based on the HTML page?

I'm trying to convert a simple FXG to SVG. The conversion is pretty much straightforward, but I'm encountering a color manipulation problem. The FXG have a base shades of gray path, and I apply a different color transformation on subsequent use of this path for other shapes.
Here the FXG color transformation (equivalent to colorTransform) :
<ColorTransform redOffset="-255" blueOffset="25" greenOffset="56"/>
How can I convert this color transformation (even the negative offset) to something SVG understand? I only need the color offset changes, no multiplier or alpha. I think it could be achieved with <feColorMatrix> (look like this SVG filter work like the AS3 ColorMatrixFilter) but I can't find how. How I could convert those color offset changes to a color matrix filter ?
