ActionScript 3.0 :: Mathematical Function That Will Return A Number Based On A Graph That Starts At 0?
Sep 23, 2009
I'm completely useless at maths due to paying no attention whatsoever to it in school when I was a kid so forgive my lack of knowledge of basic terminology.I need a mathematical function that will return a number based on a graph that starts at 0, curves to (eg.) 100 and then curves back down to 0. I have a feeling it has something to do with Math.sin or somesuch wizardry but am not sure.Basically, I want to feed it a number between (eg.) 0 - 60 and for it to return a number on aforementioned curve. The purpose of this is to be applied as a lateral force on some basic ball physics. The idea of the 'curve' is that (depending on timing of the shot) there will be a 'sweetspot' in the timing.

I've an app which has requested for the "user_photos" permission. I've been trying to get the picture data with a photo id. eg. [URL] but I keep getting the error below:
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "A user access token is required to request this resource."
What I'm actually trying to achieve in the end is to retrieve the cover_photo of every album a user has. I'm using the AS3 Facebook API's Facebook.getImageUrl(id) function - which is working well with profile pictures - but not this.

Does anyone know of a parser for math functions?
Basically, I want to be able ot take a string such as:
(x + (x - 3)/2 * 4)^2
and compute the answer. Before I make the parser on my own, I thought I'd check to see if anyone has something similar already made.

I'm trying to create a function that draws a polygon with two parameters that are: number of sides and length of sides. You would input a number for side length and a number for the number of sides. Then it would draw the side length, then turn at a angle based on the number of sides, then draw side length again... until it has finished drawing the polygon based on the number of sides that were put in.

I am using a SildeShowPro for my project. I am trying to write an event listener to the onImageData event and create a conditional that will listen to the final image based on it's number id. Basicly I neet my movie to go to frame 60 after my gallery loads in its last image (number 10). Now, since I am not really familiar with the subject here is what I put together and it does not work...:

I have been searching the net for a tutorial how to graph functions. I found one from Barbara Kaskosz, very detailed, and too much scripting. Too much for me. Is there another way or place to learn, or I am doomed, and have to face the music and study her stuff. All I want, is to be able to graph a simple function.

[code]I want to input a number and find a match for the number, returning the values on the row in to specific fields for each number. For example, if I input the number 10 in an input field, I want the number 1.2276, 0.00100, 106.38 and the rest of that row to output these values I have seen so many options, don't know where to start.

I can't think of a way to write a function that returns an object that is loaded from an external swf. I need to be able to make a function that waits for an event listener before returning the value. I want to be able to create objects that can load in external swfs with minimal and no redundant code.
Here is the over all logic of my function:
Code:
//First create an object and set it to function that loads in an external file
var MaskFrames:Object = loadFile(parentObjectName, "swfs/", "file.swf");
//Create the function that returns the loaded swf as an object

I want to be able to return the number of specific movieclips on the stage.
For instance, i could have multiple movieclips like so on stage.[code]...
Is there a way to return the number of 'myMovie' movieclips that are on stage (4 in this example)? I guess this will involve using a 'for' loop and returning the number?

I have this code in my application...
Code:
var returned:Number = ExternalInterface.call("returnEntryCount");
nInterval = setInterval(upTo, 1000, returned);
"returned" is simply a number (integer to be precise)... but when I run my app I get this error:
Code:Type mismatch in assignment statement: found Object where Number is required.

I am totally new to AS3.0 and OOP in general, so this is a very basic question I can't seem to figure out.I have a package.Inside that package is a class.
Inside that class is a function that initializes a timer called setTimer()
I am trying to run setTimer() when the program starts, but it seems that wherever I put the line setTimer(); in the program, I get an error.How and where can I run this function just once when the program starts, so I can initialize my timer?

I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

I have a question regarding TweenMax and the way it tweens MovieClips. Here is what I have.
1. I have a rectangle movie clip on stage (width:20, height:20). When you click it, it expands (to width:650, height:350) and gets a 3-d function attached so it reacts to mouseXY position (like Lees 3-d photo tutorial). This part works fine.
2. I click it again and it retracts to its original small size (width:20, height:20). This also seems to work fine.
Problem: When I click it again it expands (to width:650, height:350), but when the 3-d function gets added it starts tween all weirdly shape and not the way it is intended.Here is my class
Code: Select allpackage

import flash.display.Sprite;[code].........

I've got a site that is using loadSound to play some mp3s and it works fine. however, the sound starts to stream, and then replays itself like a second later. my guess is that its playing faster than the load is going and when it gets to the point where it hasn't loaded enough, it starts to replay it, but i'm not sure that that is the exact problem. my code:
[Code]...
now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).
