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 Repliesis there a easy way to make an object move along the x axis in one direction then when it reaches that direction it moves back. with a smoove movement.

View 1 RepliesI want to make a flash animation that makes an object move across the screen to a certain point, depending on what is typed into a text box, and i want many of these moving objects at once, so that you can type in a number and then the object moves to that point. Can this be done?I have used flash but have done verry little with the actions of flash, so please walk me through any actions that will need doing
View 1 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;

Basically what I like to ask is how to move a object from one point to another point based on the point tat you have clicked on a graph. For example, If I click on this coordinate (2,3) on graph, the object (movie clip) will move to that point.

View 2 RepliesBasically if I have a sprite for example located at (10,10) I want to move it to say (50,100) and the whole process to take 2 seconds or whatever duration I specify. What is the exact math behind this? I was using a distance based solution to determine speed but was just using a random modifier to control the process. I need something more precise to execute exactly over a set duration.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make an interactive quiz show type thing. The video shows someone reading the questions, then the answers appear as four clickable images after the question has been read. Then a user clicks on an answer it updates the score and moves to the next question.
Video has been imported and it plays perfectly. Movie controls (Play, pause etc) work fine as well. But since the video doesn't appear in the flash timeline (but in the external FLVplayback component) how can I get the images for the answers to appear on the screen at the right time? I have to use the FLV playback for a number of reasons so I have to find a solution to this problem within that context.
I put in navigation and event cue points in the flash video encoder first, the idea being to have the video pause at that point and make the buttons appear then, but I'm getting constant errors with everything I try.
(I believe you use event listeners to wait for the cue point and then use addChild to put in the video, vid.pause(); to pause it but I'm just getting tons of errors every time I try anything like that so clearly I don't know my syntax well enough)
Does anybody know how to make an object moving in a smooth circle?
View 9 Repliesapologies if this question doesn't seem very clear, i'm finding it difficult to describe what i mean.can i make object move 'out of view' in a movieclip?for example, in the same waya movieclip can move offstage, i'm trying to find a way to make the content of a movieclip move out of view to the side but within the scope of the movieclip.so if i have a square movieclip size x=100 y=100 with a circle size 10 in the centre, i'm trying to make it so when my circle moves to the left more than the size of the movieclip it starts to move out of view.another example would be if i had a character on a television (the screen being the movieclip

I have an object that I want to smoothly move along the x axis when the user clicks on the screen. I first made a prototype that would make the ball end at a location I specified by doing x = 450; I then tried looping ball1.x += 1 with a for/do (I encapsulated it with a boolean so the if ball1.x got to 450 it would stop) statement and I couldn't see the ball transition, I just saw it stop at the 450 mark.
i'm rewriting my game code in as3 and can't figure out how to make my hero move smoothly once the directional keys are down. In as2 all I had to do was putting a line lke this: "if(key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)" and as long as the right arrow was being pressed, my hero was moving nicely across the screen. In as3, however, having written a very similar code, the hero knd of gets oddly "blocked" from moving. My as code looks liek this:

I've been working endlessly to figure out if there is a method to make an object move randomly. I know there is a way, because I have seen many sites using it. Yet, I am unable to create anything besides specified movement in the x and y values. I can't make anything move randomly.

View 12 RepliesI am creating a board game and I am using Object Oriented Programming with AS3. I created a movie clip with a circle that moves across the game board. There are 18 squares and 18 frames. I have a button that gives you a value with a dice with the random number function:
public function rollDie():void
{_dieValue = Math.ceil(Math.random()*6)
this.gotoAndStop(_dieValue);}
I have a class for the dice button, die, gameboard, and the main board. I am trying to make the circle move across the board(or go to the frame in the mc) depending on what the value I get with the dice. Here is my code so far:

The mc instance for the gameboard is gameBoard. Also, if anyone knows how to trigger a labeled frame depending on which square the circle lands on that would be a plus.
I have a mini-project where I want to make an object grow and move to a different section of the stage when I click on it. I know how to do this part, but what I want is for it to "move" there as if it were a tween, but I want to do it with code instead of with the timeline. I want it to function exactly as it does now, but with a motion tween. I also do NOT want it to jump back to the beginning when another button is clicked, but rather play from where it is. I've also attached the FLA with this.
Code: Select alllearn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, learnClick);
learn.buttonMode=true;
act.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, actClick);

I want to make a movie object move up & down when I click on the respective buttons. Now I can do this, thats easy... but what I want is when I hold down on the buttons that it moves on its own? And I don't have to go "*clicky* *clicky* *clicky* *clicky*" (thats the sound your mouse makes) To move the object up and down. Is this even possible? (enter newbie joke here)... Heres the code I got: on (press, release, keyPress "<Up>") { _root.block._y = _root.block._y + 4;} Now the other thing I want to do is have it stop at a certain height. Both at the top and the bottom of the screen. The idea being that someone can't scroll the object off the screen online tutorials? new career move?
