i am following a tutorial from a book, Learning Actionscript 3.0, A Beginners Guide, where it discusses how to move an object in an agle. I have managed to get the app working fine, but i'm tryin to test it out in different angles but everytime i change it seems to go into the same angle.[code]Can somebody tell me why for everytime i changed the value of the degrees, it does not updat the movement of the ball please
View 3 Repliesi'm trying to work out how to get a movieclip (of an arrow) to rotate then move in the direction it is pointing, controlled using the keyboard. Below is the code i have written so far, I can't get it to move in the correct direction. I also can't get it to keep moving after only one key press.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressDown);var stageW:uint=stage.stageWidth;var stageH:uint=stage.stageHeight;
var speed:Number = 5;
var angle:Number =45;

I am trying to make a little game its just a project to help me get my head around the maths,I receive an angle and I want to use that angle to move the character away from the object are there any good tutorials for understanding this principle, or even what the term is for this?
View 7 RepliesIve made this rotation with AS. But Id like to make the bar to move from angle A to angle B smoothly.
How can I do this?
Say for example I have a ball and I would like to move it towards a specific angle and a specific magnitude I would use something like:

Now if I wanted to change this force, for example, add a force to it, say, with magnitude 0.5 and angle 20, how would I do that?
i want simulate Billiard ball in my project. but my code does not work good. when start with (for example) 34 degree , when hit with wall(stage in this example) return with true degree. in flash , as3

I have a movieclip that I'd like to move from y 0 to y 500 along a -15 degree angle or any specified angle. How do I do that?

View 3 RepliesI have some texboxes which I need to stay a fixed distance away from another object at an angle.so I need to say textbox_mc position is 10 pixels away from my_Object at an angle of 35 degrees.The angle is changing and the object is moving, I think I can handle that if I know how to position by angle and distance.
View 7 RepliesI found a basic example of how to create something that'll shoot an object and create an arc based on an angle. I added a power Bar to it, but I noticed something bad about it.
The way it works the higher the speed is the further it goes and the faster it moves across the screen. This doesn't give me enough control. Because essentially I want fast moving projectiles but I want to also be able to shoot both near and far.
With this current system that's an impossibility.. Can anyone shed some light on how I can do this better? Here's the current way it's being done (important parts):
Code:
bullet = new Bullet;
this.stage.addChild(bullet);
bullet.speed = 1 + powerBar.scaleX * 20;

What I would like to do is have the rotation run for, say, 2 seconds and then slow down and stop at a random angle.
How can I calculate the angle of a 3d object based on the mouse speed?I want to change the rotationZ state based on the mouse position.
View 0 Replieshow I can count the B point's coordinates (see attached image... or not as I am a new user...pf!). I know the arrow's rotation - so the angle (let's say it is -120), A's coordinates (0, 0) - A is the middle point of the arrow, and that the distance between A and B is 50 px.
View 1 RepliesEssentially I'm just trying to rotate an object (mc) clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the value of a variable called 'angle'.If 'angle' is positive it should go anticlockwise.If 'angle' is negative it should go clockwise.
Option 1
PHP Code:
if(angle > 0) {
mc.rotation += rotateIncrement;
}

I am trying to move a 'Shape' object across the screen. As the object moves, a copy is being left at the initial position. Almost as if only an instance of original object ahs been moved
This is not an issue for moving an image or MXML graphic. Is something wrong in setting to the move object?
The code is as follows
private var arrow:UIComponent;
private function resetAssets():void{
arrow = new UIComponent();

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.
View 1 RepliesI am having a major problem trying to move an object to another object with a set speed I want object1 to move towards object2 for collision. Right now I control object2 with my keyboard and I want the script to tell object1 to move towards object2.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a game with a character and wide backdrop. The charcter is spawned and can then move about the stage, and currently the stage only reveals part of the backdrop. I basically want my character to be able to explore the backdrop. I was thinking that maybe I could do some code that tells the backdrop's x-value to change in the same way as the character's.My charcter's code is all kept in a class file, so I'm also not 100% sure if I should create a new class file to relate to my backdrop.
Also I'll need to stop the character before he walks off the edge of the backdrop, so is there any way I could also say "the character cannot travels past these two x points (the two edges of the backdrop).
I'm trying to get used to the new way of doing things in CS4. Once I've created a MC and rotated it in 3D, how can I move it across the screen w/o rotating it further? I have a MC that rotates over several frames, and once it reaches the last one, I want it to stop rotating, then begin to slide in an X direction (while reducing the alpha). But no matter which tool I use or what I do on the timeline, the object is stuck in place and will only rotate and not move. Even the 2D X and Y settings in the properties panel are grayed out.

I'm trying to create a script that locates the objects location, and moves it smoothly out of location (but not out of stage) when the mouse is close. When the mouse moves away, the object should return to its place. I've really been searching for hours, and I cannot seem to find anything that works.
View 2 RepliesOK, at first this seemed like the easiest thing to do, but I've tried to make it work a number of different ways and nothing seems to work.

But the plan is to make a "Drag and drop" Object that we are supposed to move around til the finish line.The problem is basically that I can't seem to find any decent ways of making this happen..When this "object" hits the other "object" (finish line) we move to the next frame.should be a simple/short line of code I think, from own experience.I have on my own exploring found similar problems without beeing able to fix it for my purpose:"One Object Hits Another It Goes To Another Frame."
