I'm interested in dynamically creating (duplicating) a movie clip of a star and placing it randomly on the stage. It should then grow in size and change it's x & y location so it moves off the stage. (I've attached a file to hopefully show what I'm interested in.)I can hack this out in AS 2.0 but it has to be in AS3 and my old high school programming education just isn't hacking it.

I have a full screen movieclip, in which there are 5/6 buttons that can be draggable around the stage.Now, when i click on a button, a series of images appear at the side of it.What i want to do is to zoom in and center the stage on the photo if i click on it (something that you can see here: ml under the "projets" button, try and click one photo).It may seem tricky since you can actually drag and move the buttons, but logically it is not since i can retrieve the button position (and i place the photos inside it, so the distance between the button._x and the photo._x is in some way retrievable).
Anyway what i'm finding really tricky is the method to zoom and move the stage camera in order to center the photo.i thought of using the transition tweens on the _root in order to change the _xscale and _yscale to zoom, and the _x and _y to move itBut from here i have two problems: how can i determine the right amount of zoom if the stage is in full screen (so with all resolutions possible), and how much the _x and _y properties change after the zoom is done (because it seems to me that after changing the _xscale and _yscale of the _root, it changes the _x and _y values in it, in a way in which i have to add even 2000 pixels in order to center it)

Basically I want to know if there is a way to go from a zoomed in version of something, and then seeing the whole image in another frame. (By pressing a button)
Let's say there's a tree, I would bascially like (upon pressing a button which I can do) to zoom out and see the whole scenery. Is there a way I can do this without actually changing the size of the image?
I look at professional animations and notice the camera-like effects they manage to put into these animations. I'm wondering how I can do the same without having to just enlarge or reduce a movieclip across the stage. Is there any way to add a camera view on your animations or do you just have to bear with Flash's basic necessities?

Looking for a zoom through space & starfield effect. I've seen horizontal ones but I am looking for stars coming at you head on. Similar to the snow tutorial. Random generated stars zooming at you....

View 3 RepliesI'm using the following code to spin a couple stars on the stage when the mouse rolls over them. Can't figure out how to make the stars slowly decrease in speed after the user rolls off though.
[Code]...
So. I have this relatively simple code
[Code]...
when I run it, there's this wierd random star just in the middle of the screen. I tried tracing all stars with _x values of 0, 200, undefined; _xscale values of 0, 100, undefined. There was nothing. I don't know why it's there. I don't even know if it has code in it. =/ Does anyone know what it is? Btw, I know it looks like crap ... sorta more like a glue gun than stars ... I have a better looking version, I just used this to try to disect the problem.
i want to finish it in the end! i have this code which generated 20 stars and an ai player collects all of them (going for the one which is closest to it). This code was courtesy of -lauri... the code was
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].........
what i have currently is a player who moves around with the arrow keys collecting stars which appear at random moments... i wanted to make it so that the ai can also collect these stars and i am pretty sure that the code for that would be linked to what.
I have an idea for something at work. I want to have stars hanging by strings from the top of my flash document. if the user mouses over these stars I want the star to lightly swing in the direction the mouse went over at. Almost as if you had a cardboard star hanging from the ceiling and you tapped it with your hand. I know this probably includes friction but my tests don't seem to work out the way I want. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
View 8 RepliesI made this simple AS3 game that generates a random amount of stars on the stage. The user has to count the number of stars, punch that number into the input box and hit submit.The problem is that if the user wants to play again, he/she will have to go through the hassle of closing and re-opening game. That's why i'm now wondering how to make a reset button that re-generates the stars for the user to count again.URL...

My game is initialized by calling the newBall function below. Every 10 seconds a new ball is created to increase the difficulty by calling the same function. The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason. I have an array called ballArr that is supposed to keep track of all of the ball movie clips. I thought that by concatenating the name of the instance with an incrementing number that it wouldn't overwrite the existing object... what am I doing wrong?
Code:
function newBall() {
var ballNum = ballArr.length + 1;
var ball = this.attachMovie("ball_mc", "i" + string(ballNum), 0, {

I would like to be able to create and call an Array dynamically. So to pass a name through a function and create an array based on that name.Then to store values into sections in the array. I got the creating the array dynamically working, but I can't seem to store into it.
Code:
Sort = function (numOfVars,Name,toSort){
This works
_global[Name] = New Array(New Array (),New Array());
This does not work
_global[Name][i][c]= 3
This does not work
_global[Name + "[i][c]"]= 3
This does not work
_global[[Name][i][c]]= 3
}
I have two MCs classesThe first one is put on the stage. Then, from the first MC class (inside the class), i put another MC. So i created a MC inside the first MC.I can see both MC when i test my movie.I put the second MC when the mouse cursor is over the first MC, and i remove it when the mouse cursor is out the first MC.My problem is that when the mouse cursor is over the second MC, the movie behaves like the mouse cursor goes out of the first MC, so the second MC is removed, so i can't click on it.
View 2 RepliesVersion: Flash CS4, AS3 is it possible to turn a given sprite into a Class with a given string as its name? The resulting class should then be available under that name in the current domain's definitions.ie.
createClass(someSprite, "someName");
....
var someClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("someName") as
Class;
On library i have mc. In property i made Export for ActionScript. And on timeline add code:
var my_pic_mc:Pic=new Pic();
addChild.(my_pic_mc);
but dont see my movie clip on the stage after compile.

View 6 RepliesI've been trying to create a scrollpane dynamically but I keep getting a bunch of errors when I publish the swf. At first I thought maybe there was a problem with my code so then I looked in the file and copied and pasted one of there examples into a blank fla and I still get the same errors when I publish. If I look at what is the source of the errors it looks like the error originates at this section of the ScrollPane.as file:
Code:
override protected function drawBackground():void {
var bg:DisplayObject = background;

how would i go about dynamically making a function... im making a Tile Based World level editor and when the user is done editing a level, then they hit a button and a couple of for loops runs through all the tiles checking the x,y and tile type. then i want thisinformation to be parameters within sub functions within the main function. so the as would look something like this
[AS]subFunction = function () {
//do this
}
[code].....
