ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Most Left And Top Right Point In A Sprite?
Aug 8, 2009I once needed to pan a sprite full of movieClips (picture 1) which were draggable with no bounds so you could drag them up and left (higher than sprites registration point).
You could also drag them down and right and expand a sprite that way (as well) but that didnt matter.What did matter was how much is 'up' and 'left' from the sprite registration point so i can include that in my formula for panning.
This was easy to find, i just sorted my array of movieClips, sorted on x and sorted on y after each drag, and thats how i got my up and left points.
Now I am trying to do that same thing, exept my movieclips inside a sprite have a custom rotation (picture 2), so i also have an up and left point, except this time up and left are caused by rotations of movieClips inside a sprite... (and these are dragable as well with no bounds)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Top-left Registration Point To Center Conversion (2D To 3D)?
Nov 16, 2010I'm making a 3D room builder. The user places Sprites around the 2D stage and my script converts those Sprites to Papervision3D DisplayObject3D objects. I'm having problems with the 3D object positioning because Sprites have registration points at their top-left corner and 3D objects have registration points at their center. How can I make that conversion?ere's a scheme of how the 2 different coordinate systems work:
I've tried this code:
child3D.x = child2D.x;
child3D.z = child2D.y - child2D.y - child2D.y; // just to make it negative

ActionScript 3.0 :: Distance From Point To Point And Referencing Other Instances Of The Same Class
Feb 8, 2009I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.

ActionScript 2.0 :: A Line From One Point Past Another Point And Whether It Hits An Object?
Aug 19, 2009I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.

Nov 18, 2011I am currently looking at a way of visualising data and a part of the algorithm needs something 99% the same as A* Path Finding but I cannot wrap my head round it fully. I know it will be a fairly simple modification. (specific cost instead of least cost)
Basically I need to plot a path (2D Grid, no Diagonals) from point A to point B in X number of steps.
E.g. If the start and end points were right next to each other and I needed the path to be 3 steps it would have a tiny loop. (moves: up, right, down). Is there a known name for this algorithm or is the use of this so rare it's uncommon? I am currently looking at this AS3 Librbay for modification as it is apparently very fast and seems clean and simple to me:[URL]..
ActionScript 3.0 :: Find X Position Of A Point On A Line?
Aug 22, 2009To make this easy, lets say I have a movie clip with a diagonal line in it (top left to bottom right).
I want to start my y position at 0, and place it in a loop and increase y by 5 every time. So we start at the top left of the clip, and move to the bottom of the clip.
Now since we have our y value (0, 5, 10, etc.) would you get the x position of the line? such as (x, y):
5, 10
or
42, 15
