I am trying to snap 2 vector points together but for some reason its moving the entire object instead of the point. I am trying to follow instructions in a book and the book shows that it is using the solid (filled) selection tool and it has the magnet turned on for snap options. It shows I am suppose to click where the (right triangle) appears beside the mouse arrow and then snap. but it keeps moving the entire Object even with the (right triangle) appear beside the mouse arrow. what could I be doing wrong ??
import flash.geom.Point; I am trying to write a game using the new Vector class. Then Vector will be composed of flash.geom.Point (s). However, when I try to use the concat funtion to return another vector with a series of Points added to the end of the vector, I will get: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.geom::Point@bce8901 to __AS3__.vec.Vector.<*>. at Vector.<*>$/castToThisType() Action script is saying that I am trying to convert a vector to Point to a vector. I do not see how this is the case. In the example below, I have declared adjoiningPoints to be of:var adjoiningPoints:Vector.<Point>;
When I call path.concat( myNextPoint ); I get the above error. In order to troubleshoot the problem, added the additional lines declaring 'iAPath'. When I work with the arrays everything works fine. The arrays are entirely populated with points and there is no error.
I would like to create something similar to this: and only need a few things to complete it.What is missing is to make the whole flash movie (the white area, including the watches and cursor) move from left to right and right to left depending on the movement of the cursor (round circle) .. Panning effect I have attached the file i am working on..maybe that makes it easier to understand
I have a main menu box that contains navigation buttons. This box can be dragged anywhere on the screen. If i want a button to move that box to a certain x and y point, no matter where it is at anytime, how can i script this?
I have 2 objects set randomly apart. I want to send a movieclip between from one to the other. the movieclip must be able to calculate to coordinates itself.
It seems that dropTarget only returns the name of the object that is directly under the mouse. Does anyone know whether there is a simple way for it return the name of the object that is under the entire bounding box of the object being dragged?
I was wondering if it was possible to move a MClip from a defined "point A" to a defined "point B" (precisely), but this with a "snake or bubble" movement (or something like that).
First: When creating a Vector, does it have to contain a Flash data type (uint, int, Number) or can I have a Vector of objects I created classes for?
Second :I cannot instantiate a Vector object. All of the documentation I am finding is saying[code]
I get "1084: Syntax Error: expecting identifier before lessthan". I was thinking that maybe I needed to include a library, but the error seems like it knows that I am trying to create a Vector.
If I have declared my vectos object as such ActionScript Code:
private var _delsUI:Vector.<Single> = new Vector.<Single>();
fill it with data like:
ActionScript Code: _delsUI.push(newListing);
Then later on I decide to use this: ActionScript Code: _delsUI = new Vector.<Single>();
Will this essentially destroy all objects and prepare them for GC if there are no other references any where else? or do I have to loop through the entire Vector and delete and set null each object?
I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true); var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.
Im working on a small project and it involves a guy which you move with the arrow keys. The arrow keys add to his x, y velocities and his position is updated accordingly. How can i get this man to grab onto an object and spin around it (like when you grab pole and letting your momentum swing you around) . I can make him grab the object but I dont know how to modify his x,y speeds to simulate the arc.
Why is it that I can never change a vector object's color? I mean I would think it'd be as simple as changing the fill color but that does nothing.
And why is it that copying and pasting vector objects from illustrator very inconsistent? Sometimes I get the exact copy, and other times their's three anchor points missing, very much screwing up the look of the object. Also, when I import a vector png image made in photoshop to flash, the fill is hollow at times.
I'm having a very weird problem with a vector in my application.
Details...I have the following classes.
Person,Player,PlayerController.
Player extends Person. Person extends ObjectProxy in order to enable binding.So the Player class has the [Bindable] tag.The PlayerController class contains a remote object calling a php method to receive a firstname and a lastname and when the CallResponder gets the result from the call,the result handler creates a Player instance. At that moment I am trying to push the player object into a Vector..
The problem is the following.Every time the push method is called, the vector is being populated with the last player that was created but not just in the end of the vector. It replaces the other instances as well! So the vector always contains the most recent player instance but in every position of it.I have also tried doing it with an Array and the results are the same.
So far, I have a class that creates a Vector object, and pushes data into it:
ActionScript Code: public var mList:Vector.<cusClass> = new Vector.<cusClass>();
The data is read by a second class like so:
ActionScript Code: trace(firstClass.mList);
The problem Im having is take that same Vector and passing it into a third class (from the second class) as an argument in a method: ActionScript Code: views.mUpListing(firstClass.mList);
I have trailed through endless forums and tried adding all the various codes.I have a movie that is embedded within a php page. The movie starts with an animation and at the end, an image emerges with buttons. The image that emerges is actually an xml run slideshow but I don't want to complicate it with this bit of information if it is not relevant. So the film stops there and the buttons remain with a changing background.
I would like to make it skip to the end frame if it has been played before, if someone returns to the page, so that the user doesn't have to watch the entire movie to get to the buttons.I have tried adding this to the first scene however it is pretty temperamental:
var myCookie:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("checkFirstVisit");
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) { // Flash Cookie[code].....
I have a CSV reader class that parses a CSV file..... 1,11.15126526 2,11.28306635 3,10.78296071 4,10.79878325 The CSV reader class works and produces a Vector.<Point> ... However the container class (which includes an instance of the CSVFile class) needs to access the resultant Vector. Whenever I 'return' the Vector.<Point> to the container via a CSV method it is always empty...I don't know if its something to do with the size of the Vector<> or what?
Because of the inability to create Vectors dynamically, I'm forced to create one with a very primitive type, i.e. Object: var list:Vector.<Object> = new Vector.<Object>(); I'm assuming that Vector gains its power from being typed as closely as possible, rather than the above, but I may be wrong and there are in-fact still gains when using the above in place of a normal Array or Object:
I'm trying to project "collision" points on a car for a racing game I'm making, similar to this image:
The car's registration point is the bottom center, so the bottom point is easy to place. It's also easy to get the top point using simple trigonometry. However, I can't seem to figure out how to project the two side points. I've tried drawing a bunch of different triangles to figure out how to project the points, but I can't get it to work
I am struggling with an issue where I want to create a function that draws an outline of any object and I want to use this outline as curve path so I can animate objects on this path using Tweener. Like that:
I have a video object inside a flash file. I am using NetStream to attach a video to the video object. How can I add cue points to the video ? Should I add a cue point to the video object or to the NetStream ? (I am using Flash 8.)
