Actionscript 3.0 :: Making Movieclip Randomly Move Around A Constrained Area

Mar 11, 2010

I have an array of display objects that are simple scattered circles on the stage. My goal is to have them move around randomly within, say, a 5/10 pixel radius/range from their original x and y. Sort of like fireflies, but not as jittery and fast, I'm looking for something real smooth. What I have now is something like this:

Code: Select allfor (var g=0; g < total_circles; g++)
{
circle = new DrawCircle( 3, 0xFFFFFF );
circle.x = random; circle.y = random;
addChild(circle);
jitter = JitterCircle( circle, 10 );
}

So as you can see for each circle I call a class JitterCircle and pass it two values: the actual display object and the range I want my circle to fly around in.
Inside JitterCircle I have this:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Movieclip Randomly Slowly Float Around Within A Certain Specified Area On The Page?

May 28, 2009

how I can make a movieclip randomly slowly float around within a certain specified area on the page? The way I'm doing it now.. is I use TweenMax.. set a bezier, and have the object tween randomly every 20 seconds to a random spot using the Timer class. This is looks okay.. but I'm sure there's a better way to do it so I can control the area which I want it to float within more easily.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Making Movieclip Alpha = 0 And Move?

May 26, 2003

I'm trying to make a movie clip move a small bit to the right and slowly (or quickly) dim until you can't see it. I've tried 2 different methods. The first was my original so that once you had the mouse in the original location of the movie, you just have to keep it there, you don't have to move the mouse with the clip. The 2nd was one i got after searching the forums. I've debugged out the for statement and tried just seeing if i could make a different movie's alpha change, and it didn't. So I believe the problem is either in the if (of the first) or onRollOver (of the 2nd).

[AS]onClipEvent(load){
xspot = _root._xmouse;
yspot = _root._ymouse;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Randomly Place Mc On Stage EXCEPT For One Area?

Jul 3, 2006

I want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?

I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height;
}

IDE :: Text In Textfields Randomly Move?

Nov 2, 2009

This happends in a *quite heavy* flashproject at work. And what's even more interesting is that it doesn't happend every time. It seem's to be at random. What happends is that text in textfields would move ~1px in X or Y. Have anyone else encountered this?

I thought that it was the layout code that sometimes was updated but no luck with that. And it is not that the text is getting reset either. But it seem's to happend on mouse-input ( press / onRelease ).

This has been tested on different computers and it moved on all, nut in different ways.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Randomly Move Object Only After It Plays Animation

Oct 29, 2011

What I have is a ninja star that spins around and moves based on the accelerometer of your phone. I created a balloon popping animation and have it all working well. The problem is that as of right now I can either have it be static and animate once the ninja star hits it, or I can have it randomly move and then play the animation which is not what I want. I want it like this: When the ninja star hits the balloon, the animation of it popping plays. And then once the animation is complete, then I want it to randomly move to a new position on the stage. (so the user can hit it again, and so forth...)

Here is my code so you can all take a look.
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
import flash.events.AccelerometerEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var my_acc:Accelerometer = new Accelerometer();
my_acc.setRequestedUpdateInterval(50);
