What i done there i draw a box and made it to movieclip and instance named it hook and created a invisible dot and called it dot. Then I calculated distance from box to the mouse then i took that number and put it in Math.cos command. And finally i made tweener to change box scale depending what my mouse distance from it.So if my mouse is close the box is big , if far - box is small. Ok, I want to know is there another way to do this ? Cuz , i cant think of other way to change arithmetic positive progression(like 3,6,9,12) to negative progression(like 12,9,6,3) than Math.cos command.
Does anyone know the math to create this type of spectrum?
I'm using the F8 bitmap object and this image for a color preferences panel, and would like to use the same image for a fall-back to F7.
For F8, I'm using getPixel(), for F7 I'll need to determine the color (or as close an approximation as possible) using the math used to create this type spectrum.
been a fan of this great site for ages. [URL] One thing i really like about the site is that when you get into a section, you will see at the bottom of the section the numbers 01 , 02 , 03...ect.. progressively load into the movie, which when they are loaded in are active and can be selected whilst the rest stilll are preloading.
Is there a way to change the style of Flex Chart according to the values.For example, in column chart, set green for positive value and red for negative value?
i am trying to get my text progression to flow right to left but flip it so that instead of tiliting your head to the right to read it you would tilt your head to the left...i had orignally transformed and flipped the text box which worked for english text. but there is an option to change the language to chinese and when you do, the chinese character display upsidedown..
I have a 2GB Mpeg 4 Movie , i want to set the speed of frame progression by Action script. Example: play 1 frame every X seconds,where X can be a value that i will change
the movie is 1920x1080 ,30 frames per second square pixel.
i'd like to negate a number and would like to know if there's a built in method that will convert a negative number to a positive OR a positive into a negative, depending on the number.
i know about Math.abs(), but that only seems to convert negative into positive. is there a method that will do both?
Some computationally intensive software are now using the GPU to solve mathematical problems. Now that flash has GPU support, is it possible to use flash to crunch math problems? How would it be done. In other words, does flash expose sufficient low level API to control the behavior of the GPU sufficiently to perform such a task? Example of problems; Find a message with the following hash: 2987432847298374298374982374
Is there a way to test if a number is negative or positive.I have some clips that position themselves on and off the stage. IF one moves in the other moves out the same direction the other is moving in. This also works the same in reverse. I'm trying to do this by checking the current clips position and see if its a negative or positive number. If its a positive then I can move it onto the stage and move the other off in the same direction. Maybe there is another way of doing this but I thought if I could check its value and see if its negative or positive it would be a start.
I am creating a roulette type game that calculates the winning number based on the rotation of the main wheel. I am using if/else statements to determine the winning number based on the rotation. I am tracing the rotation in the output panel. I would like my rotation to go from 0-360, but the output panel traces 0-180 then it starts counting from "-180-0"
The wheel can spin multiple times. how to keep the numbers positive from 0-360 and not have to write my if else to accomodate the negative numbers?
I have a function set up to determine the speed of the mouse, if the mouse is moved to the left it is returned as a variable in a negative number. I also have a function to make a movie clip scroll along, at the moment if you set the speed to 3 it will move to the left. So a positive number will move the movieclip to the left So you can see my predicament because the numbers are opposite, is there way of reversing one of them? Here it is in short
I have an object that I want to be able to recognize in AS3.There's a port of OpenCV for AS3 already, that works with Haars cascades, so now I need to create a cascade of my object.
From what I've read, I'll have to create an XML of several images (positive and negative), but I can't find a program that'll do that for Mac OS X.
Is there anything I can use that'll generate that XML on Mac OS X?
Is there a direct way how to turn a negative number to positive using bitwise operations in Actionscript 3? I just think I've read somewhere that it is possible and faster than using Math.abs() or multiplying by -1. Or am I wrong and it was a dream after day long learning about bytes and bitwise operations?
What I saw was that bitwise NOT almost does the trick:
// outputs: 449 trace( ~(-450) );
If anyone find this question and is interested - in 5 million iterations ~(x) + 1 is 50% faster than Math.abs(x).
I'm having a problem getting a movie clip to Motion Tween from a positive value to a negative value. I have two movie/buttons on my stage. When you click one the other movie Tweens from a y value of 0 to a y value of 400. That works fine. However, when you click the other button, the movie clip should then Tween from a y value of 400 back to a y value of 0. I cannot get this reverse tween to work.
Code: // code for positive tween function movePeople(event:MouseEvent):void { movePlacesTween = new Tween(pageloaderB, "y", Strong.easeOut, 0, 400, 0.5, true); }
[Code].....
The second tween never reverses. It just stays in place.
I've also tried the same tweens using the y value of pageloaderB... so tweening from pageloaderB.y to pageloaderB.y+400, which works, but the reverse does not -- pageloaderB.y+400 to pageloaderB.y.
how to convert it to 0 and also if the number wsa 9, convert it to 1, and if it was 8 it gets converted to 2.. and so on.. where if it was 0 it would then be 10 Is there a formula? The 0 to 10, and 10 to 0 may not be possible but that's ok.
Does anyone know the formula to determine what the width of a Sprite would be based on changes to the z-axis? I know the width property is updated after the change, I'm hoping to know what the width will be pre-change.
I've got a movieclip which follows a predefined path (like in those tower defense games). Normally the mc changes the direction it faces with Math.atan2 method and then rotates the movieclip, but because this game is in a tilted view( in stead of directly from the top) I need it to change the frame in the MC according to the direction it's facing.
Is it possible to read out Math.atan2 method data, and then change the frame the MC is displaying, according to this data? I used [URl]...on-and-realism as a base for this game. If Math.atan2 method
var p:int = 0; var n:Number = 0; n = 32.999999999999999; p = Math.floor(n); trace(p); // returns 33 n = 32.11111111111111; p = Math.floor(n); trace(p); // returns 32
I would expect both of these to return 32. I have searched, and it seems this is an unreported bug in AS3. Or ... am I doing something wrong?
check if a negative number is less than another negative number. The if condition logic seems to be in order as far as i can tell but it doesent work for some reason :
Code: public function minuscheck(testnumber:int):void { if (testnumber < -1)
var oth:Number = uup[0]+dup[0]I'm trying to find the sum of two array values and I'm just getting a concatenated string of the two numbers. What am I doing wrong?
Does anyone know if it's possible to add objects as a whole together using operators rather than breaking them apart or using object.method() format? Below is a simple example of what I would like.
Want to do:
Code: var obj1 = new MyClass(1,2); var obj2 = new MyClass(3,4); obj1 += obj2;
