Trying to draw the top of a screw which is at a slight angle as its in perspective. I've tried doing this with the drawEllipse tool but its doesn't seem to be able to let me tell it I don't want it positioned straight, I want it rotated a little bit. I've tried doing it with curve To but it looks rubbish, but then I have only used 2 anchor points.
View 5 RepliesI have an Image object, and i wish to draw an elipse on it.
i have tried with
imageObj.graphics.beginFill( 0x0000FF, 0.5 );
imageObj.graphics.drawEllipse( position.x, position.y, 10, 10 );
imageObj.graphics.endFill();
but it doesnt draw anything at all.
how to draw graphic primitive on Image object ?
have been messing around with ppv3d for a small project whereby a ball orbits some text. I would like the path of the orbit to be a visible line with a glow effect on it.at the moment I have a sphere located on an invisible spinning cylinder, with the text in the middle so the sphere orbits it. I've tried drawing lines from one point to another on the cylinder but it's not working.

View 3 RepliesI had just finished a two hour project, and decided to organize the code a little better for future editing. Usually I take longer with things, so I save lots and lots of backups. However, this time I didn't. I changed some things around in this code here:
Code:
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
Sections = [[[70, 54]]];
attachMovie("clip", 0);[code].......
Now the shapes that are supposed to appear no longer do! I can't see anything wrong with this, and I can't get my old file back >_<.
I did this cheesy banner for my portfolio and i dont understand why the setInterval is not working correctly.

How can I do this?

I have a video looping via AS3; only thing is the video slightly pauses at the end before it loops. I have tried the following, but no matter which method, I get that pause:
(METHOD 1)
container.myVideo.autoRewind = true;
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND,
loopVideo);
function loopVideo(event:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.play();
}
(METHOD 2)
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, playAgain);
function playAgain(evt:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.seek(0);
container.myVideo.play();
}
wratts here gang , im doing a short flash movie and have run into a slight snag . i want to create the effect of a chase through space at high speed ( starfeild ). so far my efforts have left me scratching my head .
perhaps one of you know some Action script that can help me out .
Right, so I've got this engine down:[URL]..EDIT: Arrow keys to move, a to jump.It seems fine at first, but as you can see, if you jump with a platform overhead, you get stuck in that platform - that happens because the registartion point of the mc (the '+') is at the feet of the character. It needs to be this way so that it registers on the ground.

I'm following the complex button tutorial (http:ur....), though I'm trying to alter it a bit so that I can have an animating movie inside the movieclip, but be able to use another movieclip (or button or whatever) to define the size of the first, since the first is so big just about any movement on the stage triggers its movement.
View 5 RepliesAll i need is to add is mouse movement so when you scroll up down left right the movie clip moves about 50pixels in each direction..any tutorial script I have found does not add a width and height restriction making me drag the movie off the screen.
View 13 RepliesHere is the code I am currently using. (The instance name being mcBox)One problem I am having is a slight delay between pressing the key and the symbol moving.Another problem is I would like the movieclip symbol to play its own timeline when a key is pressed.

I have some sounds on buttons:
Code:
var mySound:Sound = new myLibrarySound();
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
function playSound(e:Event):void
[code]....
... and that works fine. I then have some streaming music:
Code:
var myStream:Sound = new Sound();
myStream.load(new URLRequest("myPath.mp3"));
myStream.play(0);
... and that works fine too. Now, however, the initial button sounds have a slight delay -- I'd estimate about 150-250 ms. It's enough that rollover click noises happen about the time you click, and click noises happen about the time you release, etc. Now, here's the KICKER. It only happens in FIREFOX. CURSE FIREFOX. Seriously. I've been having so many Flash issues in FF3, it just drives me nuts. Firefox and wmode is a pain, Firefox and sound is a pain, Firefox has been crap for Flash development lately.

I've got a symbol that's circular, and I'm trying to make it rotate. My problem is that everytime I rotate it (45 degrees per frame), the dimensions change slightly on me. It's a circle with a height and width of 364 pixels. After rotating it clockwise 45 degrees, the new dimensions are 386.9 by 397.4. The result is a slight pulsing as the symbol rotates when the animtaion plays. I can't figure out what's happening, and it's SUPER frustrating.

I want to draw a ellipse using a function that looks like this :
[Code]...
This function creates a circle but I want to create an ellipse knowing just the center , right distance and down distance like in this figure : figure mcClip is the movie clip. the center and the distances I take from a input text.
I am working with this function that moves an object around a center point in a perfect circle and am trying to modify it to move it in an oval shape that is 1/2 as high as it is wide?
Basically, I have a set speed
var myVelocity:Number = 0.25;
Then I calculate my Sine and Cosine based on the speed
var myCos:Number = Math.cos(myVelocity);
var mySin:Number = Math.sin(myVelocity);
Then I figure the distance of the the object from a fixed center points along each axis and
var x1:Number = myBall.x - centerX;
var y1:Number = myBall.y - centerY;
var x2:Number = myCos * x1 - mySin * y1;
var y2:Number = myCos * y1 + mySin * x1;
myBall.x = centerX + x2;
myBall.y = centerY + y2;
I have another function that figures x and y based upon myBall.x = centerX + cos(angle) * radius; that is easy enough to modify the radius to become an ellipse, but is there an easy way to mod the one above to become an ellipse? I want to do this to be more efficient with the code and reduce the number of math function calls
I have 7 movieclips on stage I want to tween around an ellipse from different start points. I am having lots of trouble doing this. I used a circle formula at first and then divided the y value by the width of the ellipse over the height. This sort of worked but after every rotation the y value was a little of. That code is:
this._x += (Math.cos(angle * Math.PI/180) * radius);
this._y += (Math.sin(angle * Math.PI/180) *radius)/1.54;
I also have trouble finding the angle of the start point, if it is off they won't travel in the same ellipse but they all have different starting angles.
I'm in the final stages of my Papervision project and I need to have the camera orbit around its target in an ellipse rather than a circle on a mouse drag. The tricky part is I already am using some complicated logic to get it easing as well and I need them to work together.
ActionScript Code:
private function upHandler(event:Event):void {
isCameraRotating = false;
} private function downHandler(event:Event):void {
isCameraRotating = true;
previousMousePoint = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);

got another little provlem with flex ... i've made a ellipse and i want to rotate it dynamicly. made a h:slider which change the rotate="" value of the ellipse. and it rotates fine. but the rotation point is in the middle of the ellipse.
i want it at the bottom (y) and middle (x).
there are some transformY and transformX arguments for the ellipse, but they have no effect?
my function
private function rotateRadius():void {
if(wind.selected) {
selected.radiusDisp.rotation = radiusRotate.value;

Let's say I have the following MXML:
<s:Group id="b01">
<s:Ellipse x="267" y="96" width="30" height="28">
<s:stroke>[code]....
And that I have a dozen more of these groups with different ID's. How can I modify the fill color of each Ellipse using ActionScript? I know I can do something like this:
b01.getElementAt(0).width;
And that will give me the width of the Ellipse. But how can I access the SolidColorStroke color or the SolidColor fill?
In my application i am having one input field and the text fields edges are connected,that means with in one ellipse[movie clip] the input field will appear,if i increase the width and height of the field then ellipse should be increase as per the size of input field.

View 7 RepliesThe corners of a rectangle drawn with drawRoundRect are not very consistent when the curve/ellipse values are very low (2-5px or so), most visibly when there's a border added.Even with hinting turned on, there's still a pretty ugly difference. When set to 3px (horizontal and vertical), the right-side corners look pretty close at around 3px, but the left-side corners are very off, and both look to be maybe 1px curved.
