I'm trying to make a nice trail effect for a drawing/particle thing. I've got it working pretty nicely except that when you draw/move the mouse too quickly gaps appear between the particles. Increasing the frame rate doesn't help. so I'm not really sure what the best way to go about this is?
PHP Code:
private function enterFrame(e:Event):void
{
particle.x = mouseX;[code]..........
I am copying a bunch of shapes from my stage to a set of bitmaps for filtering.
Is there a faster way to do this? Is there a way to copy everything over together from the stage rather than how I'm doing it by copying the shapes in my array one by one?[code]...
I know I am a new member but hopefully my question won't be overlooked because of this fact. Anyway, here goes. I have a new project, a flash intro, and my client wants to be able to wipe away sand particles to reveal an enter website button. I tried an simple method of wiping away a image layer like an eraser but they want it to look like actual sand particles are moving around.
View 9 RepliesI've been working on a little particle generator that produces intractable particles. When you click your mouse, they will move in a straight line away from where you clicked. Seems simple enough, but I can't quite get the formula right.
I want to pass two points and a magnitude scalar value into a function and have it move the particle along the line drawn through the two points, and only as far as the magnitude specifics.
For example:Let's say the particle is at the point P(10,10) and the mouse clicks at the point Q(15,15). I pass both those points and the magnitude 10, into my function.
The function then calculates the angle the particle should travel (45 degrees or PI/4 radians) and sends the particle to the point O(20,20), again, as specified by a magnitude of 10.
Edit: By the way, I'm using ActionScript 3.0, but if possible I would prefer a universal explanation in case I decide to program this in another language, or I am without a programming language when I need to figure it out.
I'm using the tutorial to create falling snow for flying pollen but I can't make the particles move horizontally. They go straight on from the bottom to the top of the stage.This is the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
//specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 900;[code]......
I have created this menu with 5 buttons. The script attached to these buttons tells a movie clip to play certain sections of the clip to create the mouse over mouse out effect. The problem is if I move the cursor away too quickly the rollOut does not happen and the button is left in rollOver state.
View 3 RepliesI've been using BitmapData.copyPixels() to draw graphics onto a canvas (Bitmap).I need to rotate the resulting graphics without the use of draw() because it's vastly slower.How can I rotate the target graphic? I'm assuming that there might be a formula or library that I can use which will first reorganize the pixels that make up a graphic based on an origin (point) and radians.I'm pretty certain that I'm not capable of creating such logic, so if there are any known libraries that do this, that would be awesome.I'd like to achieve something similar to XNA's SpriteBatch.Draw() method, which accepts rotation as its 5th argument.

View 1 RepliesI am making a ball move from left to right and back. but when I rollover twice quickly, it also accepts the second rollover command. I would like it to accept that second rollover only when the first one is finished. I mean, I want the first to be finished before it accepts another rollover.I know it is simple to solve this with a tween using frames instead of as, but I was wondering if someone knows how to adapt the script.
on(rollOver){
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut,balMC._x, 44, .5, true);
ballTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
ballTweenterug = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 44,11.9, .5, true);
So I have a menu that fades in on a movie clip rollover. It fades out when the mouse rolls out over a 'hit area' mc. All is working fine except when you move fast off the hit area. Sometimes the fade in menu remains up when the mouse should have traveled over the hit area and told it to fade out... any reccomendations to remedy this?

View 2 RepliesIt has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)

As of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.

I started another thread where i had gotten help and combined the snow tutorial and the programatic mask tutorial to create particles that reveal an in-focus image over a blurred one. I just need help making the particles swarm around the mouse when it is present and have the particles just float around when not. Presently the random motion is just fine and looks like this (i just inverted the this._x and this._y so that they would go with the mouse direction not away from):

How can you restrict the mouse so that users cannot move their mouse into a certain area, (or a certain y or x value)? This is useful to me because I need it for a game.

I'm trying to draw exactly what my mouse does in a movieclip and it works great except when i release my mouse it continues to draw. I have a MOUSE_DOWN that points to a function that listens for MOUSE_MOVE...this works fine. Then I have a MOUSE_UP and when I'm releasing my mouse it is not stop drawing? Anyone know how to stop the drawing but also not clear everything I just drew?

I am trying to create a Flash application which will allow a user to draw arrows on the screen/canvas by using the mouse. So if they click and hold the left mouse button at coordinates 23,12 and release the left button at 84,45 a line would be drawn between the 2 points with an arrow head at the second coordinate.I also need each individual arrow to be selectable so they can be moved or deleted (I know how to do this part!).
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a flash movie (AS3) that would allow the user to draw using his mouse but straight lines only. The user would click to set the start point of the line then as he moves the mouse around the line would move with the mouse until the user clicks again to set the end point. When the user clicks again a new line is created without deleting the previous one.

When I add a custom cursor it won't draw because when the mouse is down it's referencing the cursor and not the board. So drawing doesn't = true.
I can fix it by changing the eventlisteners to "stage" instead of "mBoard" but when I do that it will draw the the coordinates of where the mouse is on the cursor and the board.
So the Cursor could be x= 255 and y = 200 it will draw that coordinate but it will also draw the coordinate of where the mouse is over the cursor which could be x = 1 and y = 1. It will also draw that on the drawBoard.
Here are the examples in case I didn't make myself clear.
