ActionScript 3.0 :: How Does One "detect" If The Object Is Currently Moving To Its Own Left Or Right Direction
Sep 29, 2010
using trig, when moving an object based on its current rotation, how does one "detect" if the object is currently moving to its own left or right direction? example: right side up: left moves the car to its left, which is left. upside down(180 rotation): left moves it the car to its left, which is right. based on movement alone, how can i say its moving to its own oriented left or its right?

I'm having a problem changing the direction of a movieclip using hitTestPoint. I have some balls on the screen that only move left, right, up and down. and pending the way they are moving they have to change direction. if they're moving right they have to change to up. left to down, up to right and down to left. I tried the following code for getting a ball moving moving right to change to up. note: movingDir is just a string i use to keep track of how the ball is moving and is defined initially in another class. here is a snippet from the ball class:

I'm trying to set up a script which would force an object to move through the stage until a particular point and than change direction. I wrote something like that:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
moveUp = function () {
this._y -= 1;
if (this._y<-30) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveDown;
}};
moveDown = function () {
this._y += 1;
if (this._y>600) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}};
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}
But it doesn't work. the object moves only one direction and does not change it.

i'm using the an actionscript for random movement that i found here... [URL] but my problem is that i need the object to flip horizontally depending on the direction it is moving... the object that is moving around is a bug, and i need it to face left if it's moving left or face right if it's moving right.

I'm making a game in AS3 and I need to move an object from left to right using the keyboard, it works fine but the problem is that when i push left or right the object moves but not in a fluid way, I assigned to movement to KEY_DOWN but first it moves the ammount of distance i gave up then pauses for half a second and then I moves fluid in the direction i gave. Now my question is how do I need to program it so that when I push the button it move fluid in that direction immediately instead of taking a little pause?

I'm newbie in Flash and action script, just start learning T__T...
onClipEvent (load) {
speed=10;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (key.isDown(key.RIGHT)) {
_x+=speed;
} else if (key.isDown(key.LEFT)) {
_x-=speed;
} if (key.isDown(key.UP)) {
_y-=speed;
} else if (key.isDown(key.DOWN)) {
_y+=speed;
}}
Is that making the object moving to left and right?

I have this small project HERE. Right now it barely does anything but make the character move.
I move the character by using <s:Move>. Now as you can see on the link to my project page, it moves to where you point the mouse and click. I want to be able to stop the character from moving if it hits another object or in this case, the "tree". Is there a script in AS3 that will let me detect collisions or controls that are overlapping each other?

I wanna detect the direction of mouse movement. If the mouse moves tpwards the left or right of its currrent position, i want to detect it. Is there anyway to identify such movement. Actually i am implementing a 360 degree rotation of image. That means , if the mouse moves along the left side of its current position, then the image should move along its left side, otherwise it should move along the right side. For example, view this site: [URL]

I'm moving a movie clip using actionscript (as2) instead of a motion tween (because I want to save file size). I have this code on the first frame of the main timeline ("stone" is the movieclip instance name) and it tells the movie clip how many pixels to move in the x direction:
Code:
xTargetstone = 600;
I have this code on the movie clip itself ("stone" is the mc instance name) to handle the actual moving of the movie clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xstone = getProperty(_root.stone, _x);
movestone = _root.xTargetstone - xstone;
setProperty(_root.stone, _x, xstone + (movestone/5));
}
The movement works fine, but the issue is that it starts out fast and then slows down over time (even though that amount of time is small). The result is that the movie clip seems to wiggle and vibrate before it stops. Is there a way for me to change the code so that it doesn't wiggle and vibrate? perhaps something with the math I'm just not totally understanding? I would like a nice consistent motion from start to finish, while being able to set the time it takes to move etc.

I'm building a simple 360 degree image rotation effect using single frames and forward and back buttons. I'm new to AS3 and have managed to create functioning buttons... (so my code may be a bit odd!)But now I also want to advance frames by clicking and dragging on the image itself (or on an invisible button sat on top of the image).Although there are some threads here which have asked the same thing, I don't understand how they were answered. My code is below, and the file I am practising with is on:URL...At the moment if you click on the image area it will advance but as there is no code detecting mouse direction, it just goes forward. Can anyone help me understand how to implement a simple direction detection and then use this to decided whether to advance or go backwards.[code]

I'm still new to AS3, and I was wondering how to make an object point in the direction of another object and move towards it if they are a certain distance from one another. I haven't been able to find out how to do this from the Adobe devnet, so I thought I'd ask here.

Basically I need to have a cartoon character walking to the right hand side of the screen and then turning around and moving back to the left hand side and so on.
I have some code done but it could be all wrong as I am not the best coder at all, just starting out.
Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import classes.RollableChar;
public class MainApp2 extends MovieClip{
//public var theCharacter:MovieClip;
//public var myCarrot:RollableChar;

i am trying to find out wether the mouse is moving to the left or to the right but i reckon by storing the old mouses location and updating the new postion and store this in a varaible if thats possible
to update and check the mouse x and y postition on the stage saw i can locate
wether the mouse is moving to the left or to the right .
mouse old postion to the mouse new postion
example by using a variable
mouse_old_xpos. _xmouse
mouse_new_pos
this want i tried
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
mouse_oldxpos = _xmouse;
mouse_newrightxpos = ""

I've got several small moveiclips moving around the screen to different locations using the tween class, and for some reason it leaves little red artifacts in their trail on the screen that won't go away. any way to refresh the screen or something? Is the only way around this to cache the movieclips as bitmaps?

How to make movieclips move only from left to right under the same lane (meaning it is like marching on a lane straight) and stop at 3/4 of the whole stage(3/4 of a stage is a platform I wish to have) irregardless of how big the stage is then disappear. When the object move and get closer to the edge of the platform, the player press either left or right arrow keys to so called remove the object. When click on the right arrow key, "rectangle box" disappear and left arrow key, "circle box" disappear. After like a certain timing(let say its a minute), it would go to another frame to show end of the game.

The problem is that when I am moving left and up, "pink"-a "blue"-s and "green"-d work. When I am moving down and right, none work. When I am moving right and up, only "pink"-s and "blue"-d work. I have tried changing the order of my code but it does not work, What am I missing?

I read the Movement using ActionScript tutorial [URL]. My question is: How can I make the box stop at a certain point, instead of disappearing. What I want to do is to have a picture move from right to left, and then have it stop when it reaches the left side of a banner that I'm trying to make. I'm working with an image of a ship, and I want to make it look like it's floating from the right, and when it reaches the end, I want it to stop there and have text appear on the right side of the pic.
