I am trying to follow and create a tutorial which explains how to make a bouncing ball.I am really struggling with the Action Script 3.0 even though the teacher types it in.I am inserting the code so that you can view it.[code]

View 3 Repliesball collision inside another ball using gravity.I have one large circle in the middle of the stage (its radius is 150 pixels). I have another circle inside of that one (20 pixels radius), this is the smaller ball that I would like to have bounce around inside of the larger one with gravity. When the small ball hits the edge of the larger circle, I would like it bounce inwards to the center of the larger circle. It keeps doing this until it eventually stops in the center of the larger circle at the bottom.
View 1 RepliesI sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

View 1 Repliesoriginal: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:

I have been tyring to export an animated banner, in animated.gif format. it's a simple animated text with no gradients. it should go on top of a graphic which has some gradients and is multi-coloured and with effects (the colours are similar to the one/i used in the page) as you can see here the text looks a bit funny.url...
View 3 RepliesIt may be a little confusing the way I explain it but here I go. I've been testing in Flash CS5 for awhile and saw it may be something like Photoshop, more specifically while drawing. In Photoshop there are layers which I use to divide parts of the picture such as the hair and the head in two different layers so that if there is a problem say at the top of the forehead where the hair is, the layer dividing the two separates it so when I erase a part of the head the hair doesn't go with it because it's not on the same layer.
Unfortunately in Flash it doesn't appear to work that way...in one layer I draw the head the other I draw the hair, I see a mistake in the head near the hair and I erase it...a part of the hair goes with it...then I have to redraw that part which can be time consuming unless I want a relatively bad animation(which I don't) since it's obviously not set as a default in Flash is there anyway to set it as that? I do tend to make quite an amount of mistakes in Flash because of how the brush and such works..
I had a developer who created a flash slideshow which utilized xml to load the image and attach a url to it. The project works as it should except for the urls...which seems to be set to the first one you click on.I am not a programmer, and the developer I was using, died. So, now I am stuck with a file that just needs one thing fixed to work. Any assistance in this endeavor would be most appreciated. If you want to use the files for yourself once they are fixed, feel free.

Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..
View 2 RepliesI have a simple problem that I've been working on for hours, trying to go through trial and error myself. But here's the problem. I have a function on the main timeline named startClips. Now, I want to call this from from within two movie clips, the other nested inside the other. In other words, I have a movie clip called holder, and inside of a holder, I have a movieclip called homebase. Now, here is all the code I've been trying to use to access the startClips function which is own the main timeline from the movieclip homebase:
MovieClip(root).startClips();
MovieClip(root.root).startClips();
MovieClip(parent.parent).startClips();
this.parent.parent.startClips();
I can't figure this one out. Can I get any assistance.
The request has been to modify the first item by including an FLV player. This I've done and have working without flaw.My trouble arises when users select any of the other 4 tabs and then attempt to return to the first tab where they should see a transition into the playing FLV. This is not happening after the initial load. It's been quite awhile since I've worked with AS but I figure this issue should be able to be resolved if I inject a condition to determine what item is selected.
The AS for the "accordian" is:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
This isn't working. In fact, it seems to be skipping the initial condition if(t == "welcome"). If the nave is determined within the var navs:Array, how then can one determine the selected location?
I have my main.fla which imports external swfs that contain flv's. I have three buttons that navigate the main timeline to frames 2-4. At frames 2-4 an external swf gets loaded into an empty movie clip via this code. Each loaded swf acts like a menu with some nice vidoes loading in the background.The problem i found is the flvs continue to play as i navigate between menus, which makes the main swf/fla slow down becuase the pc is working harder to deliver all the stuff running in the background. I've added this code to frame 1 of my empty movie clip that is in my library that has the instance name 'menu1'I keep getting the error "Access of undefines property mc1"I have the source files for my site here if you can take a look and see what I'm doing wrong. I have removed this code so i don't get the error and have tried other things to no avial.

if there is a way to use the _rotation property with the Tweening class to make a movie clip continually to rotate from it's current position instead of starting back at the original position and doing the same rotation again.
I'm trying to make an movie object rotate 90 degrees by clicking on a button and then when you click the button again, the movie rotates 90 more degrees. I don't want it to start over and do that same 90 degree rotation with the Tween class.
I'm running in to a problem where I've added additional pages (20+ pages in total) and everything after page 16 is transparent.

Here is my code:
var gravity = 2;
this.velocity.y += gravity;
_angle = 5;

It doesn't really look like the ball is "arcing" at all, it seems to be more of a diagonal line?
