ActionScript 3.0 :: Integration Of 2d Elements With PV3D
Jul 26, 2010
how I might go about integrating a 2D layer on top of a Papervison layer.
my goal: attach some 2D elements to a 3d object that is shifting rotation in 3dspace. Specifically, I want to draw a 2d line - x/y origin is the bottom right corner of the plane.
1. Height? Width? I can obtain the screen coordinates of a given displayObject3D with the screen property, but this gives me the coordinates of the center of the object. I simply haven't found a method to return the value of a related coordinate (the bottom right corner...) Since pv3d is projecting the object as a flattened 2d image at render time, you would think there would be a built in method to get such a thing. I've played around with papervisions built in drawing api, and it does a fine job of replicating the 2d api - so that might be an option if I can't find the coords in a predictable way.
2. translating zoom and focus of the camera into a predictable pixel values. If I have a plane that I know the 3d location of, and, hypothetically, the camera is viewing it squarely, how would I take into account the zoom and focus to translate the initial dimensions of the plane into pixel perfect height/width values? (for example, to place a 2d rectangle over the 3d content.) I can do a scale hack where I've applied a manual multiplier (just through trial and error), but its not exactly pixel perfect...
. I heard that there's a 128 character limit for links in Flash. Is there any way around this?
What about forms? PayPal has the option of doing a form for a shopping cart. Flash won't even begin to recognize it when I just drop the form code in there.
how event propagation works in PV3D its definitely not like the conventional Flash style. On a quick search i have been able to find out that its possible using the InteractiveSceneManager Class, but unfortunately
having a weird issue with a loaded Collada model. I'm not getting any errors as such, and I can trace out the collada's position etc, I just can't see it! Am I missing something stupid? Or is it a bad collada model, and if so how do I test for it? I thought it might be a texture issue, but I tried other collada models without textures and they show up as wireframes straight away.Here's the code:
I'm wondering if its possible to use for example Papervision or something similar to make a drag and drop action in 3d space. But when I say drag and drop I mean, you drag the object and then place it in its correct spot, if you do not, then you receive an incorrect message for example.
i'm doing a materialtest with papervision, using some collada-objects that i load with the DAE-class. one thing that i didnt get to work is creating a shadedmaterial, not a shader as a material but combining a shader and my original material (loaded with the collada-file) into a new material. i dont get any errors, and when i look at examples i think i'm doing the right things, although the examples always create a new object from scratch (and add the ShadedMaterial to the fresh materialslist).What i do is load the objects, store their materials in an array (i clone them once they're loaded), and use this object-loop to create the shadedmaterial and replace it with its original.[code]The original materials are actually Bitmap FileMaterials, but since that's a subclass of BitmapMaterial i think that should work just fine. You can see my test here, every material works except for the flatshaded+bitmap, when i use that one my framerate drops dramatically but i dont see any change.URL...
The effect I would like to achieve is when the plane around the sphere is clicked, the sphere rotates so that the plane is in the middle of the stage. but there always some problems when i clicked the plane the sphere seems like never rotate to it's back.[code]
I have this script that creates a Tiltviewer effect and it works perfectly as long as you're on the page. However, if you switch focus to another browser window or tab, it begins to spin wildly and even takes a while to recover when the user comes back to the page.
I've been playing with this PV3D gallery that I found and dissecting and trying to learn everything I can, but I want to see if its possible to add hyperlinks to the images. Basically when the image resizes, I want it also to load a hyperlink after you click it again to remove the Image. I've included all the SourceCode in a zip file. If anyone can take a look and give me some pointers it would be awesome! edit*all the images are XML driven, I've tried making hyperlinks in the XML itself, but the way these gallery is setup is to load(img) not load(url)
As part of a papervision project I need to render html text on to a plane. I've done this using a MovieMaterial and the html text renders perfectly as one would expect, except that any Code: Select all<a href=""> tags used in the html aren't working? Has anybody else experienced this problem? I've set the material to Code: Select allinteractive=true and that's working because buttons on the same material are working, just the html links aren't.
I have managed to create a Plane with a material that is a running movieClip with 8 frames. The thing is that I want to be able to play and stop that movieClip that's acting as the material of the Plane but can't seem to get to it... That movieClip called "walkingTest" that I'm using as the material, has another movieClip inside it called animatedDoll that is the one I need to play and stop.

If I use:
walkingTest.animatedDoll.stop();
I get this error:

I'm trying to create multiple objects in Papervision using Flash Builder, each one with it's own texture that I'm getting from an imported SWC.My code works perfectly if I apply one texture to all shapes, but when I try to put it into a loop I can't seem to get it to work. I think this is more of a syntax problem, I'm just not sure how to tell Flex what I want.Here's a chunk of the code that works fine, applying an "img1" texture to everything: [code]Does that make sense? I want each iteration of the loop to add a number to the end of "img" and apply that to the shape.
With some great tutorials on the web, I have created an interactive cube in PV3d with a movieAssetMaterial for one the faces. I would like to add a fully functional video player to this face. I have code for an AS3 video player that I placed in the main fla on the movie clip that acts as the material. The video streams in fine, but the interface does not work. I'm wondering if this is a scope issue, a problem with adding events to a movie asset material, or some other problem. The video player code is attached. I have the video player code inside the movieAssetMaterial.
I've created 4 cubes, which turn on Rollover and Rollout, and on Click they should move to new x y coordinates.The Rollover and out on the faces (workfront,workback) work fine, but i don't get it right to put the Click on the whole cube.if tried to address it with workcube.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, workclick); but that doesn't work.if i address it with this or without workcube all my cubes react to the click
I was recently trying to import some collada models from 3d studio max into flash. verything looks fine, but I have some kind of error which rather shouldn't appear: Quote:'MaterialObject3D: transformUV() material.bitmap not found!'I've found some answers by googling it, but I'm not sur
I have added 2 text3D textfields for each plane that gets rendered via xml.Everything works fine, yet as more planes get added via xml the carousel slows down considerably.If I remove the text3D fields the carousel rotates very smooth and at normal speed. Is this just a limitation of text3D in Papervision3D or is there a way to optimize this better? Yes, smooth is set to false and images have been optimized.
I have a video player that is currently using XML for its video library which is all fine and dandy. Now I have some developers working on a CMS type page in PHP that is going to hopefully pass some sort of information to my player that will let it know where the video is stored on our server. Is there a way to do this without using FMS? If so does anyone have ideas where I can find the information for it.
I made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.
I'd like to create one empty Flash movie that is essentially a placeholder for externally loaded content I can change through XML. This content would just be able to randomly load 1 of 3 photos, with a button linking to a website within each of the photos on page load. If the user refreshes the page, a new photo with it's link would appear, but I understand since it's random,having 3 images the same image is likely to reappear, but I can always add additional photos and links.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that might lead me on the correct path to create this? I've found some tuts, but they've been different than my need.
We want to be able to upload over 100+ files (if needed) to a server along with desc + keywords. I see that Flash 8 has the neccessary tools to handle file uploading, but my question is, can we have it act as a Stand alone FTP program so that we can utilize the fastest user upload, or will we be confined to the settings in the server INI settings.IE MAX_UPLOAD_TIME,MAX_FILESIZE, etc. If possible we want to avoid using the HTTP upload as it is noticeably slower. So if we can use flash to utilize user BW to upload, then that would be ideal.
I am reading up on 3d and wonder what new elements did they add in cs4 to 3d?? or nothing special.basically write 3d pre cs4 method or there something new to know?
I work in Adobe Flash cs3 and as2. First I have flv file no1 it contains buttons, animations, imported sounds and fonts, lot of layers, preloader and its all mixed on stage (its a kind of meny for a web page). Now Im working on flv no2 in which all the elements contained in flv no1 are represented as a small picture (button) which should call (make it visable like zooming that object) some mc that contains all the elements from flv no1 and working as they do in flv no1. how to pack all the elements in flv no1 in a form of movie clip and import it to flv no2 and preserve all the functionality.
I would like to know if flash can allow the user to arrange elements (in a published swf) on the stage and "lock" their positions so that if the swf is reopened or reset, it will retain the new arrangement. How would you describe this feature?
How would I make only some elements of my movie resize to fit the screen?For instance: I have a 2000 px wide movie and inside it a centered 1000px wide MC which will aways fit the screen while other elements (the background for examle) won't resize.
I'd like to ask the following question: for instance, I have a scene in 3ds max with 10000 textured cubes. Is it possible to export this .max scene to Flash and create a .swf application, in which user will be able to rotate, zoom the scene and also select a particular cube and all this done without visible PC slowdown? After some googling I found that Papervision3D is a good tool for working with 3D in Flash.
