ActionScript 3.0 :: Specify A Range For X Coordinates?
May 5, 2011
This code below works, but I'd like to modify it so that if my dragged item passes over a region in the x coordinates. So if I pass the dragged item over the range of 600 - 700 then it would play the frame labelled "square", and when it passes out of that region, go back to play the frame labelled "circle". So realy I'm asking how can I modify the <=600 to instead 600 to 700, and else refer to circle.
if (me.x <=600){
me.gotoAndStop("Square")
} else if (me.x>= 700){
me.gotoAndStop("Circle")
}
The function below returns points on a sphere with a given radius. I want to add restriction such that points cannot be plotted within 30 degrees of the poles of the sphere.
public static function randomPoint(radius:Number):Number3D { var inclination:Number = Math.random() * Math.PI*2; var azimuth:Number = Math.random() * Math.PI*2; var point:Number3D = new Number3D( radius * Math.sin(inclination) * Math.cos(azimuth), radius * Math.sin(inclination) * Math.sin(azimuth), radius * Math.cos(inclination) ); return point; }
I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY); var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.
I was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:
transforms x,y,z coordinates into Flash x coordinate xFla = function (x, y, z) { // cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line style(1, "0xFF0000", 100); plot(0, 0, 0); draw(200, 0, 0);
Im making a little app in flash using papervision I want to make a regular movieClip show up in the same place as a papervision object. The coordinates seem like perspective is affecting the number displayed.
I've got a variable called coins which contains the amount of coins you have.I've also got a movieclip called customer_marker_mc which I want to change color depending how much coins you've got...I want 100 (or more) - 91 to give one color and 90 - 81 another and so on.[code]...
I'd like to check if a mc's _x and _y properties are between a certain range, but can't find out how to. Now that I'm typing this (I can't check it in Flash right now at the moment), I'm thinking if this will work:
let's say the mc is called mcMyMovie and it has to be between 90 & 100 (both for x and y)
I'm trying to create an simple (yet I still can seem to do it) task where a user has to enter a prevously worked out number into an input box clicks a button and get a correct or incorrect message.I need the number that they enter to be a numer within a range ie. 1.0 to 1.9I have 2 text boxs on stage... 1 an input text box (called inputBox) and the other a dynamic text box (called answerBox) also the is a button on stage to exec the scripton the root timeline the script is:

In maths I'd write something like 90 < mcMyMovie._x <100.
What I am trying to do is create a root variable that can simultaneously equal a range of numbers. But I cant use the for command because the variable it will assign will only be confined to those brackets and can only be pulled from code inside the brackets
so what i understand from this im learning flash from [URL] tutorials and no matter how many times i listen to each word the guy says, i dont understand this part in the vid, we are making a die to roll from 1-6 although the code below is not the finali
I'm trying to start an animated loop from one of the defined frame labels. My code on frame 1 is:
[Code]...
Unfortunately, it's not working and the animation plays through normally. At the end I have a gotoAndPlay(2); command so it doesn't reread the code again.
The problem is: check a single word if belongs to a given language character set. So I think I have to instantiate a RegExp with expression [u4E00-u9FFF] (for Chinese language) in order to test against the specified word. But it does not work? Is this a bug with unicode ranges?
I am trying to create a dynamic scrolling list in Flash AS3. When I create a list, I set it to be an initial length. Later, I add more objects to the list which is outside of the original size of the list. I want to be able to scroll down the list and see all the objects. My scrollbar just moves the list's y position. However, every object that is drawn outside the original list size is not shown when I run the program and scroll. I have a list object which has the function below when I need to add content to the list. When I initialize the list, I give it an initial height and width which I use to create a mask.
public function AddPlayers(pPlayers:Array, pScrollBar:ScrollBar):void { var player:Player; trace("happened again"); for (var i:int = 0; i < pPlayers.length; i++) player = pPlayers[i]; [Code] .....
The situation is an interactive text book using the Webkit view of Adobe Air. I have static (built-in) html content that the user can highlight and bookmark (annotate). This mechanism all works, but I need to be able to store and restore these annotations. I would rather not store a modified version of the DOM, but rather use the static version then reapply the users annotations that I am storing in a SQLite DB along with other needed metadata. DOM manipulation is pretty new for me, and so far my attempts to serialize a DOM::range have failed. What I realized though is that I really seem to only need the start and end containers and the start and end offsets. Then I can recreate the range with document.createRange().
I'm trying to figure out how to generate random colors but within a particular range.In my application I have to allocate a random color to an unknown number of movieclips.I can do this ok but sometimes I'm wind up with a very ugly combination of colors like bright yellow and purple for examples.How can I generate random colors within a particular "range" I guess is the word for it?
ActionScript Code: for (var h:int=0; h<noOfUniqueClips; h++) {
I can currently print one page from a flipbook by typing the page number in a text field and using the actionscript below. What I'd like to be able to do is print a range of pages. Can someone help me modify this script below to allow for a range to be printed?[code]
Does setting _alpha levels to values less than 0 or greater than 100 cause problems?I know I can program these out but I am trying to make some code as efficient as possible.
I'm trying to get a range of frames to play and am failing. Here's the latest code I'm trying. I'm sure this is a common issue, but haven't found code that's simple to understand.
Here's what I'm currently using. It starts playing the movie from the frame I want, but plays it to the end.
In the swf I simply moved the mouse around the stationary object marker and read the results. For some reason I'm getting crazy values like -20 and 18. Why on earth is that? I thought radians in flash had a range between -PI and PI.
I have a single line for my XML gallery,that I'm have a few troubles with.I want to tell the gallery that after it has loaded all the thumbnails; to perform a function on the the 5th thumbnail up to the 40th.gal["thumb"+(5+random(40))].gotoAndStop(2);So far, I've just managed to tell it to randomly select any thumbnails from 5 to 40. I need EVERY thumbnail from 5 to 40.
well i am trying to create this simulation where in lot of numbers keep changing based on the time line. I find it really had to manually animate the numbers frame by frame. Is there a way that i can specify a dynamic text and specify a range of 50-100 and then its starts generating the numbers automatically from 50,51,52... etc, and it should reach the end range at a specified frame.
If i follow this method, animating a number from 10-50 and 1-6 will happen in the timeline of 80 frames.
I was just wondering: When using the NumericStepper-component, is it possible to have a range from say 100 to 200 with all integer values in bewteen (i.e. stepSize = 1), but have the value increase/decrease by another value (e.g. 5) when pressing on of the arrows?
