I have a rotating dial coded in AS3 but I cannot get it to follow with the mouse - It works the way I want it to if I grab opposite to the pointer (so 90 to 180 degrees from the pointer) to rotate the dial. The problem is that I am using the rotation degrees to set a value only in positive numbers ranging from 0 to 240 instead of 0 to 360. If I change the standard rotation code so it tracks with the mouse, it reveals angles -180 to +180 which would screw up the number conversion to positive 0 to 240. I am thinking if I have to change "var r", then "var tr" needs changing to get it back.
I have a simple game with a dial and a needle. I have made two "right" and "wrong" buttons.Simply, I need to be able to make the needle move forward when the "right" buttons is clicked, and backward when the "wrong" button is clicked, regardless of the needleposition on the dial. What would be the simplist way to accomplish this? I am a beginner with Actionscript, and I've tried all I know to do
Flash knows where the anchor point is in 3D space in order for the symbol to rotate around it, but I can't seem to figure out how to see the coordinates of the anchor point or type in new ones. Please tell me how to do this. I am already very annoyed that Lynda, a pay service, doesn't think this is vital information. Apparently they think we would never want to do anything more visually stimulating than one simple spinning logo! But I digress...
Just to be clear, I know how to move the anchor point visually on the stage, but I want accuracy. I want to be able to give two symbols the exact same coordinates to rotate around.
I've got a project on my hands, an interactive kiosk. I've created the interface in Flash, but I have some issues I can't get past. First of all, I want to create an emergency call feature, where the user presses a button and the kiosk dials the emergency number (112 for Europe). Now, how can I make the Flash movie call upon Windows' dial up connection, dial a number, establish a connection then disconnect?

I know that Flash can't use Windows services directly, so how can I accomplish this?My second issue is that I also would like to create a photo-shoot system, where the Flash movie takes a snapshot from the webcam, saves it as a file, then the user needs to input his email address and the file is sent by email as an attachment.
I am currently trying to create a type of speedometer thing which reacts via various buttons on the screen. I done a simple script for the needle to move so many degrees left or right but this simple script doesn't stop the needle from continuing to go to far left or right (min/max on dial). Is there a way of stopping the needle once it has reached say 10 degrees and 120 degrees?
My script is: bad_btn.onPress = function (){ needle_mc._rotation +=16; } good_btn.onPress = function (){ needle_mc._rotation -=16; }
Bad and good buttons determine the left and right. I am also interested in whether once the needle has reached it max point this would trigger of another function etc.
I trained on flashMX back in the day and haven't done anything since so now I've got CS5 it's a bit like being at school again! I have a circular dial sat in the middle of the screen with an arrow placed on it's edge. How do I get the dial to rotate so it always faces the mouse pointer?
I have a rotating menu that sets the selected button to the 3:00 position once clicked. I need the labels for the buttons to stay in the upright position as they rotate with the button. I have attached an image. Anyone know of an action script that would keep the labels upright?
I am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.
I have a circular diagram with approximately 8 icons around the outter part of the circle. These points are all buttons. When Clicked, I want the diagram and icons to animate round to the top point (360 or 0 degrees). Then, when another icon is clicked they will all move round so that one is at the top.It would be a great bonus to have a slick easing in motion too but not essential - just a 'nice to have'.I have looked over forums and responses and there is quite a bit of info on this but I'm finding it difficult to apply it to this particular project.
I have been given the task to create something similar to the flash navigation on the link below. I have tried googling things such as "flash image rotation", "flash rotation circle", etc?[URL]
how i could make the transition from my last photo to the first photo a more correct transition. maybe my explanation was difficult to understand?? take a look at these two sites(owendawsonphotography.com / owendawsonpga.com) and look at the rotating slide show. when the last image fades out it goes to complete white and the first image comes in at full opacity. I want it to look like the other transitions in the slideshow.
I'm trying to rotate a movieClip from it's original position, to a random anglehere's what I have:
function getRandomNumber(min:Number, max:Number):uint{ var randomNumber:Number=Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min)+min); return randomNumber;} particles.rotate(angle:getRandomNumber(0,180));
I am a complete and utter newbie when it comes to flash. I've bought Flash Professional CS5, and I am looking for a tutorial/help to create a rotating banner ad similar to the one on [url]...
Example: I've got four different pictures I want to rotate within let's say 3-4 seconds per picture. Each of the picture needs its own link, so people can click to get to the correct place. I want the pictures to "fade out to the left" when changing)
I have a MC that i am moving on to the stage that i want to look as if it rolls in to position. I cant find any referance on how to do this. my code so far is:
Background info: I am using ActionScript 2.0 and Flash CS5I was working on a game and I used photoshop to save a little gif image. I imported it into flash, "broke it apart", turned it into a movie clip, and put this bit of code on it. It rotates the image when the mouse is moved around it.
Code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { // find x and y differences
I am trying to rotate a button in my program that has a large hit box. Obviously, when I do this, the hit box is also rotated and is now in the wrong place. Is it possible to get this hit box to remain static, or to just keep it there? var turnButton:Tween=new Tween (sections.lower, 'rotation', Strong.easeOut, 0, 180, 3, true)
I have a problem with rotating and moving my map. I need to spawn buildins along the road and move them. Check the picture. What I want to do is have my player in the middle and rotate the map randomly while the buildings are sliding along the road.
my problem is that even if the registration point of the MC I want to rotate is in its center it keeps rotating in its upper left corn.The MC is a jpg I load dynamically.The syntax I use is : _root.photo._rotation += 90;
concept I can't wrap my mind around.If you've been the the sitehe has a "picture map"I've seen this used at other sites too.But what the rotation. The pictures always rotate around the point you click on.I just don't get it. I understand the momentum and all for the swing though
I'm about to do a menu-system for a pretty wicked site. Not that this menu-system is wicked it's just that I don't get smarter in how to do this. I have searched the net without finding anything similar (but I guess this is pretty simple).I've got an image (from a synthesizer), seen above. My vision is that the center-controlling-device is rotating to a specific spot when clicked (ex: Clicking the "4" will make the center-device rotate so that it points at it).
how to rotate a 2d plane in 3d? for example... i want to load a jpeg in to a movieclip, and then, using actionscript, flip the photo around so essenitally you're looking at the back of it.i've seen the Scripting 3D in Flash kirupa resource, but it's a bit advanced for what i need. i only want to flip a 2d plane 180 degrees.
Is there a way in actionscript to determine if something is rotating CW or CCW? I created a knob in Flash but i'm stuck on how to tell which way the user is dragging it?
