ActionScript :: Spherical Coordinates Within Range / Restriction
Jan 4, 2010
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;
}

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")
}

Trying to apply a glowfilter to a 3D spherical model.
It works for the cube but with the sphere the Z property is included, just turns my model all black.

By this question, I don't just mean add a final to your class name.I'm talking about, let's say that you have a class that only one other class uses, but should not be accessed by no other class. Is it possible to say in the extended class that only this other class can extend me?*Change* Also, can you restrict which classes are allowed to initialise it?

After reading James Ward's post I'm considering using a proxy rather than a crossdomain.xml file. I have a java app, which includes a flex applet, on one tomcat instance and a java web service on another tomcat instance. Does it make sense to have a single (Apache httpd) proxy handle requests for both the app and the web service, thus eliminating the cross domain restriction?how to deal with the cross domain issue are welcome.

I am making some sort of security game and i would like to have some visual line of sight. The problem is that i can't restrict my line of sight so my cops can't see through the walls. Below you find the design, in which they can look through windows, but not walls. Further below you find an illustration of what my problem is exactly.[code]...

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);

I'm using a typical full size website that proportionally scales on browser resize.
I would like to set a minimum dimensions so the user cannot squeeze the website more than 600x420 for example. The page will then start to crop if you go beyond these dimensions.

We are quite familiar with action scripting but are facing an awkward situation. We need to call different instances of youTube Video into our own swf and play them. Now as youTube video is from a different domain, the Flash sandbox restrictions naturally come into play. We are loading the youTube swf into a clip using the MovieClipLoader Class.
If we remove the instance using the removeMovieClip() command the video is removed but the sound continues. We have even tried the MovieClipLoader unloadClip() method but that too did not yield results.
We wish to be able to kill the sound object or atleast mute it so that it does not play even after the movie clip containing the video is removed. As the swf belongs to a different domain we are unable to control the sound object directly through script. We have even tried loading another youTube instance into the same movie clip after first removing it using the removeMovieClip() command, then creating it again, and finally loading the youTube instance using the MovieClipLoader class, but the earlier sound still continues to play even while the second clip sound also plays.

I'm having some trouble getting around a security restriction of flex. Saving a file is apparently an action that can only be invoked upon user interaction. The problem is that after my user clicks on the save button, I need to perform a database query to get the data for the file I want to save.
Because Flex works asynchronous, I have to make the database call and then catch the ResultEvent in a different function. In that function, I no longer have the user's mouseclick event. How am I then supposed to save this file?

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)
if(mcMyMovie._x =< 100 && mcMyMovie._x =>90 && mcMyMovie._y =<100 && mcMyMovie._y =>90) {
}
Would this work or is there a shorter way to write this down in code ? In maths I'd write something like 90 < mcMyMovie._x <100.

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];

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().
