ActionScript 3.0 :: Placing Movieclips In A Circular Pattern?
Jul 18, 2009
Inside one of the mcs I have included a piece of code with the of this forum that allows the user to both click on and drag the mc about the stage. However when the user clicks on the mc I want two things to happen, firstly I want it to position itself in the centre of the stage, already accomplished (with the of the forum - same thread), and I want a number of the other mcs to be positioned around it in a circular pattern. Now I have two main problems with this.. first of all I am using all of the above code inside of a single mc and I am confused as to how I can actually take the other mcs and place them around it, calling it from inside the mc that is, another problem is that I am using an xml file to load data dynamically into the mcs, I am doing this from the main timeline and then as I said before using iterative processes to fill each mc with their relevant data. Inside of this xml file I have a number of items, each having a tag called owner, what I want to happen is for the user to click on the mc in question and then for each mc that is "owned" by the mc in question to then be positioned in a circular pattern around it

how to position graphics in a circular pattern and they space out evenly depending on how many graphics are in a given array.So now, I want to be able to rotate the graphics in a clockwise or counter-clockwise pattern (not a sprite container that holds all of the graphics, but the graphics themselves.)
Code:
private function weaponChange(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
if(e.keyCode == LEFT_KEY1 || e.keyCode == LEFT_KEY2 || e.keyCode == DOWN_KEY1 || e.keyCode == DOWN_KEY2) {
for(var i:uint = 0; i < _weaponSymbols.length; i++) {[code]....
So this gets each graphic to the next location just fine. Now notice what I have in red... I want the graphics to animate along the parameter of the circle. All I need to do that is to identify the x,y coordinates between the two graphics. I can just subtract the y of one graphic from another... the x is something I have no idea how to do...

I want to generate movielclips dynamically using xml nodes in a circular fashion (lets assume 360 degree circle). Suppose if i have 5 nodes in xml, then it has to generate only 5 movieclips in a circular fashion. and if it was 50, it has to generate 50 mc's in a circular fashion again.

I made an mc which on being hovered makes a wave. The problem is that I can't think how to apply the code on about 15 mc's. I used the main timeline for coding purpose. Now I want to apply the same waving pattern to the other 14 mc's. I tried the for loop but couldn't get it to work because of the variables involved.
Here's my code-
k = 100;
t = 0;
ascend = true;
waver = false;
waving = false;

How to place movieclips on a scrolling background with AS3? My background scrolls and my character runs when the right arrow key is pressed. But when I tried to place the obstacles he is supposed to jump over, only the first one is visible, and it looks like he's chasing it. My background (Bg) is 3802.8px wide and I put the obstacles and "home" (Cabin) about 600px apart.
var bg:Bg = new Bg();
addChild(bg);
bg.y = 280.1;
var man: Man = new Man();
addChild(man);

I am a beginner in Flex. For my appln, I wanted to have the progress bar, but not the default that Flex Framework provides.
I wanted to have a circular loading "progressbar" that would move in circular fashion before completing one complete revolution to 100%.
Can I do that in Flex 3 ? If yes, how ?

I am currently trying to figure out a circular alignment problem. so if you look at the following code, it works perfect without the positioning section. All the data is being loaded from a database and when the user clicks on the mc which houses this code in its second frame, it accesses the database and if there are more rows in the database whose owner column matches the name of the clip it will add more circles to the stage and then use other data received from the database to edit it such as its colour. But what I am also trying to do is align the newly added circles in a circular pattern around the mc (when clicked the mc will be centred on the stage.

What I want to do: I have an object on the stage that moves in a circular manner. I want it to move in a less predictable way by assigning some randomness to its movement.
What I can't do: Imagine a clock. Its hand moves at a constant pace. When the hand's initial position is 12 o'clock I would like it to move as long as its hand meets the hour 12 again and communicate it. The full cycle. Then, I want to change the object's x,y and make it keep moving. And so on. How do I tell Flash that my objects has made a full cycle?

I will tell you what exactly i need. I need a video scrubber and it should be in a circular shape. I will tell you how it has to work. I want to rotate with a small circle on top of a big circle. lets assume that small circle is called a dragger. Now i need to drag that on top of the circle either in clock wise direction or in anticlock wise. If am dragging in clock wise, the loading video has to seek forward. suppose in case if am dragging in anti clock wise, i need to see the video backward. This is the functionality am going to implement in FLASH CS3/FLASH CS4.
