Actionscript 3.0 :: ScaleSpeed Or Speed Of A Movieclip Object
Feb 20, 2009
If I create a MovieClip object, and want it to move with some speed, what should I do?I have read a tutorial which was using "xspeed" and "scaleSpeed" to make the small MovieClip moved, but it seemed that this didn't work in my code.such as Code: Select all rectangle.xspeed = Math.random() * 10 - 5; rectangle.yspeed = Math.random() * 10 - 5; rectangle.scaleSpeed = Math.random() * 0.05; and rectangle is an instance of MovieClip.I wonder if that kind of speed properties isn't in as3, or I made some mistakes.

I wonder if there is a way in actionscript 2 that makes something happen if an object hit another object with a specific speed. For exemple: If Object 1 hits Object 2 with a speed greater than 10 I want something to happen.

Im writing a app that stores run time values in an object and uses them (instead of i.e. an array). The defaults I load in from an XML file. XML itself beeing an object; could i just use the XML object to keep the current values or is this a 'slow' object compared to as3.0 internal objects. Speed is of the essence since it is supposed to become a game. The internal object isnt as fast as normal array access but so far its working fast enough.
Loading in the XML into a new (but totally similar object) seems silly. If it operates on the same prinicple/speed i could rewrite it and really clean up and simplify the code. Noy wanting to try it if its gonna be slower.

I am having a major problem trying to move an object to another object with a set speed I want object1 to move towards object2 for collision. Right now I control object2 with my keyboard and I want the script to tell object1 to move towards object2.

I have a little utility takes lists of letters, combines them in every possible permutations, and lists out all the combinations that are words. For example, I would feed it in "cde,abc,tbrn" and it would let me know that cat, cab, car, can, dab, eat, ear, and ebb are all valid words.I've tried two different approaches: Load a dictionary text file, and splice it into dict:Array. For each possible letter combination run:
if(dict.indexOf(testWord)!=-1) trace(testWord);
The other option is to convert dict:Array into an dictionary:Object
for (i=0; i<dict.length; i++){dictionary[(dict[i])] = dict[i];}
and then run:
if(dictionary[testWord]) trace(testWord);
Although I've read arrays are faster than objects, testing to see if the word exists in an object, and iterating 10s to 100s of times over a several thousand word dictionary is orders of magnitude faster than checking to see if the word exists in the dict:Array.

I have some basic experience with actionscript but have hit a wall with this. I am working on a swimming pool simulation and would like a swimmer to do a length of the pool in a fixed time. When a swimmer reaches the end they hit a pad and turn and this repeats. I can to the collision detection fine even have a running time. How can I for example get a length to take 30seconds.

I am trying to get an object to track my mouse on press and i am using a tween. However, the nature of the tween is such that the time taken for the object would move would always be constant despite the distance.
I would like to make the object travel at a constant speed regardless of the distance. Is it correct for me to use a tween? If not what should I be using?The code for my tween is as follows.
map_mc.tracker_mc._x = map_mc._xmouse;map_mc.tracker_mc._y = map_mc._ymouse;startx = map_mc.crosshair_mc._x;endx = map_mc.tracker_mc._x;starty = map_mc.crosshair_mc._y;endy = map_mc.tracker_mc._y;
trackTweenx = new Tween(map_mc.crosshair_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, startx, endx, spd, true);trackTweeny = new Tween(map_mc.crosshair_mc, "_y", Regular.easeIn, starty, endy, spd, true);
map_mc.tracker_mc is the mouse cursor that would appear when onPress while the map_mc.crosshair_mc is the object that would track my cursor's movements.

I trying to learn and follow some tutorials about classes and stuff like that. If you look att my code I have posted a object called "FallingObject" falls every third second in the speed of "y += 10;" I want my falling object to increase the speed every 20 second. How do I do that?
PHP Code:
var TimerFallingObject:Timer = new Timer(3000);TimerFallingObject.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, OnStartFallingObject);TimerFallingObject.start(); function OnStartFallingObject(e:Event){ var af:Sprite = new FallingObject(); af.x= Math.random()*640; addChild(af);}[code].....

I cannot find how to have an object follow the mouse at a CONSTANT speed. The code I keep on finding is something like this:[code]I don't know if I'm just missing some really simple detail, or some major idea, but I'm pretty sure something as easy as this is possible.

I am using Flash 8 and AS2. I have been looking and looking, but I cannot find how to have an object follow the mouse at a Constant speed. The code I keep on finding is something like this:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endX = _root._xmouse;
endY = _root._ymouse;
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
The "/speed" part makes the object move slower the closer it gets.

I use something like this code to detect the speed of the movement of a dragged object
PHP Code:
if (!go) {
this["position_"+i] = this._y;
i++;[code]....
This way I can find in what direction the mouse vertically has moved and at what speed. The problem is that every once in a while the speed will be in the opposite direction. What do people use to detect the direction of the movement of the mouse?

I'm working on this "game" and I currently have a ball that increases in speed as you hold down the arrow key. What I am now trying to accomplish is I want the ball to ease to a stop when the user let's go of the keyboard key (onKeyUp). Here's the File. <---Link
Here is my code so far:
var speed = 10;
ball_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x += speed += 1;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
[Code] .....
So once you let go of the Keyboard Key I want the ball to slow down to a stop.

I have 2 buttons that are currently scrolling a movie clip with this function on(rollover):
function moveMC(end, dir) { mc.onEnterFrame = function() { if (Math.abs(mc._x-end)>1) { mc._x += dir*step; } else { mc._x = end; } };}
How is it possible to get get it to scroll at 2x that speed on(press) ?

I am new to Flash and Actionscript and am currently working on some code pulled from another post to try and learn from what others are doing or have done. I have created a star movieclip and am attempting to move it randomly accross the stage in a relatively slow speed. When I run it, it moves randomly but way too fast. I have spent the last 6 hours playing with the code, researching help files and also looking up other discussions but nothing seems to be helping. Here is what I have so far. My apologies if the code looks like a hack. This is being done in CS4 if that matters at all. If anyone could shed some more light on how to handle controlling the speed or rate of random movement with some insight
[CODE]....

Using the deco tool Ive created a simple fire animation. The problem with this tool is that it wont let me set the speed above 200%. So my idea to solve this was to create a movie clip, use the deco tool there and somehow speed up the playback of this MovieClip.
Stage.frameRate = X works but it changes the frame rate of everything. fire_mc.frameRate = X doesnt work unfortunately.I dont need to it be precise. I just want this MovieClip to play 5 times faster that it plays now.

I'm lost and new to AS3. How to get this code to ease into end point compared to its sudden stop.
CODE:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mcRotation);
var rotateSpeed:Number = 0.003
var oldvalue:Number = 0;
function mcRotation(event:Event):void{
var controller:Number = (stage.mouseX - stage.stageWidth * 0.5) * -1;
var rotY:Number = box_mc.rotationY - (controller * rotateSpeed);
rotY = Math.max(rotY, -90);
rotY = Math.min(rotY, 0);
box_mc.rotationY = rotY;
oldvalue = box_mc.rotationY;
}

I'm looking for a piece of Actionscript 3 code which let's me adjust the speed of a movieclip.The command would tell a movieclip to play at a certain framerate (60 FPS, 30FPS, etc.)The movieclip involves a simple tween so I'm not sure if I should use a different method of tweening (only tween via AS3 code) or use a seperate AS3 script which let's me modify the framerate of the movieclip when it's played.

I'm finding in my current project, a need for a method of playing animations (MovieClips) at a speed that is different from the stage framerate. I need to dynamically adapt animations, which i've created natively at 20fps, to play at 10, 40, or any other arbitrary value. Of course frame skip/stall is most likely the only way to do this - that is when playing slowly the animation may stay on the same frame for a number of stage frames, eg 1,1,2,2,3,3 etc.. and when playing fast, may jump over several frames to advance the animation faster (at the cost of a minor loss of smoothness, but that's fine.) eg, 1,4,6,9,11,14 etc. (the size of jumps wouldn't always be consistent)

I'm trying to increase the speed of a single movieclip. The frame rate of my movie is 12, and I don't want to increase the frame rate of the entire movie just to speed up one movieclip.
I've seen tutorials all over the web, and all the actionscript controlled speeds of movieclip tutorials are for more interactive animations, such as mouse movements and rollovers.
I'm looking for something that simply plays a movieclip faster on the timeline and I'm sure there is a simple code for this.

I want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.

I'm tweening a movieclip from startX to finishX. The value of startX varies but finishX is a constant. But as the startX increases in value the animation appears to be quicker. How do I adjust the speed of the tween to ensure a consistant speed regardless of the value of startX?
