ActionScript 3.0 :: Triangle Maths - What Equation Would Take The AI Player On The Most Direct Route To The Star?
Jan 4, 2012
In the scene there is a star and an AI player.what equation would take the AI player on the most direct route to the star...i.e guide it into the path of the star...just to make things clear, the star is static and the ai plaer is controlled by the computer. i think you have to make two variables distx and disty and use some sort of trigonometry on them but i'm not entirely sure on how to go along doing this.

I am trying to create a script, where the user inputs a maths equation (something simple like 5 + 2 * 10), I have managed to break down the text into an array and have the numbers in one array and the symbols in another, I wanted the computer to then work it out, however I cant seem to think of how to do this and the methods that I have tried have failed.there is one dynamic box and the value of that is then broken down by an array split(" "), however this leaves the values in an array and it is percieved as a string not a number and so when i try to work it outit just displays 5 * 10, how would i get it to work that out?

i want to finish it in the end! i have this code which generated 20 stars and an ai player collects all of them (going for the one which is closest to it). This code was courtesy of -lauri... the code was
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].........
what i have currently is a player who moves around with the arrow keys collecting stars which appear at random moments... i wanted to make it so that the ai can also collect these stars and i am pretty sure that the code for that would be linked to what.

well in my fla i have a movieclip exported with class name Star and in my Star.as file i have this code:
package { public class Star {
public function Star() {
this.visible = false;
}
}
i tried putting movieclip on and off stage but didnt work all i want to do is control my class Star in my fla. Im very new to OOP and trying to get the gist of how to control objects like the way you could by instances like i used to :/

I have a square grid with 100 grid squares in it.I want the cursor to display its grid position.Does Flash plot the position based on pixels - ie would my grid square have to be 100x100px or a multiple of that eg 200x200px? Or could it calculate the position no matter what size the square was? eg 186x186px ?

To create a sort of thick-pixel gradient shadow, I've got a simple loop which creates a new 200x5 pixel Shape (rectangle) with each iteration, assigning an alpha value and y value that changes relative to the loop's iteration.
Code:
var upperShadow:Shape = new Shape();
for (var k:int=0; k<10; k++) {
shadowAlpha = (1-(k/10))*.5;
trace(shadowAlpha); // traces .5, .45, .4, .35, .3, .25, .2, .15, .1, .05
[code]....
This creates a simple linear gradient since the alpha value changes linearly, but how would I go about creating some sort of exponential/logarithmic/cubic/circular value for the alpha, so that it falls off differently?
Are there a set of common equations that people use for this sort of thing, similar to the simple (1-(k/10))*.5 I use for the linear change from .5 to 0 in ten .5 increments?

I want to have a video with a different language on each channel, to give the viewer the possibility to switch dynamically. That's easily done with setPan, however you end up with the audio playing on only one channel, and that's pretty bad, specially if you watch in headphones. So my question is:
how do you take one channel from an FLV stream and send it to both speakers?

I have an app that was actually written for me. It's a multiple choice quiz basically where a question comes up and there are 4 answers. HOWEVER the answer always seems to be 80% on the same answer ie: BUTTON ONE out of the four. BILLIANT random function I don't think.Would this be a better answer formula to use?
function randomBetween(a:Number, b:Number):Number { return (a + Math.floor(Math.random()*(b-a+1)));}

I have this object in Flex 4
[Code]....
It is a circle divided into 5 equal parts each 72 degrees. So each state you can see is increases the rotation by 72 degrees. I have a transition for the rotation when the state changes like so:
[Code]....
Being that this is a circle you can actually rotate CW or CCW to get to the right degree for the state. Usually the rotation-transition uses whichever is lower. For example to get from Classic to Centro (0 to 72) it goes CW. But this is not always the case. To go from Lace to Lido (144 to 216) it goes CCW. This is not desired sense it would make a much better transition to go CW because it requires less spinning of the circle to get to the desired degree.

In Actionscript, I'm trying to work out the best way to create the shortest route between two point on the map above. I have all the distances.
Algorithms like A* I dont think are relevant as it is near impossible to work out the heuristic distance.
I thought I could create a big array of all the nodes with the distances to any connected nodes and just iterate through until Ive found the the shortest distance, but this I know is very inefficient.

I have some code that looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + (i - 1) % 10 * 50;
It sets the x location of my level button. But this is in a for loop (that's what the 'i' is for.) I run it and everything works perfectly, as it should, not a single problem. Then I press the auto format button in the flash actionscript editor. (It's the button that adds all of the ; to the end of each line and other stuff)
Well that changes my code to this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + i - 1 % 10 * 50;
thinking it's done me a favour but it hasn't. It's got rid of the brackets so it won't do the maths functions in the correct order. I've tried adding more brackets in places and other stuff but I just don't know how to fix it. It's annoying because every time I press the auto format button I have to add the brackets in again.

How I should get started to achieve two things. I am creating a map with places and routes between those places.
Objective 1: When a visitor hovers over a place name, I want a tooltip to show, which they can select to be taken to another html page to display information on that place.
Objective 2: When a visitor hovers over a line or path connecting two places, a tooltip shows to identify that route, and again when the tooltip is clicked, the visitor is taken to the route details html page for further information. I want the tooltip to show up anywhere along the path which is hovered over.
I want to know, how I should start to design this and what elements will be required to achieve this, especially the tool tips. And how easy is it to make a path highlight, like a button, when hovered over, can a path have different states?
Here is a image done in Fireworks of my objectives.

I would like to do something like this URl...but have the individual lines animate and show progress along a route. It needs to be a 'real' map so that I can feed in LAT/Longs for for the polylines. This is also a similar effect URL... but I don't need the map panning.I am aware of the google maps api for Flash but there doesn't seem to be any animation other than panning.

I have been learning about classes and oop programming with AS2. I think I have a very good idea of how it all works, but I'm lacking in one final area before I can truly say I'm coding in OOP. Currently, I use a contentmanager class to route all button commands through. This class handles the removal and preperation of the stage for content change, and then seperate classes handle the actual loading and placement of the new content.
So in a way, its not really OOP, just very well organized code. The next step is Event Management in AS2. I know it can be done, I read through a few tutorials, but get confused by it all. What I'm looking for now is two things.. a very good Event Management tutorial or article if anyone knows of any..
as well as a sample site that can be downloaded or viewed which has been written using OOP. I want this sample site, to re-evaluate how my current way of programming holds up compared to more proffessional examples...(Perhaps even we can turn this into a hot thread with examples of code and structures to help other developers trying to gain a grip on OOP..?)

im working on a maths style jigsaw, and ive come across a problem of sorts, ive set random1_txt.text to 1 and random1_txt.text to 2 for testing, basically i want to randomise two textfields between 1 and 10, and also randomise the sign between either a - or a +
the answer can be computed by flash, now what i need it to do is stop on the frame number of the answer in answer_mc, these frames contain graphics of all numbers 1-20 in alpha format, this is so that the answer is in place, now the user can drag and drop movieclips into the answer box, and receive a correct or incorrect response
im at a loss on how to do this, i havent gotten around to randomising the sign as of yet i need to do more research but the general idea is as above
Code:
var startX:Number; //start of draggable piece
var startY:Number;
random1_txt.text = "1"

OBJ_1 has a stop on its 1st frame; OBJ_2 has an action in its last frame:

Currently I am working on a map that will animate the drawing of a line between two points as soon as the user hovers over the end point. A good example of this can be seen on the home page of Jet2.com (the map of Europe).
It seems I am having difficulty with drawing the line dynamically. Of course, just drawing a still line between two points is easy, just use MoveTo() and LineTo(). However, having the line expand in an animation is quite difficult for me.
Here is what I've come up with so far:
Code:
// Create the clip
this.createEmptyMovieClip("drawing_mc",1);
// Declare variables

Anyway, I'm looking to create a star object that flickers or blinks at random intervals. The object will also be part of a menu system and may need to perform other functions, so, I may need to roll my own class eventually.

I've been doing a number of pretty basic flash banner ads at the typical advertising size (728x90, 300x250, etc.) but the client wants to throw in some video for this upcoming batch. I've already been given the .flv movie file. It's about a minute long at 3 mb, but I'm only going to use about 4 seconds of it. My question is what is the routine/typical route to take when adding video to banners but also keeping under the file size limitations (around 37k)? I did some brief research and read about progressive downloading but wasn't sure what the typical direction was when delivering files like this to the vendors.
