I am trying to find where the IKManager is located on my file system, so that I can import it into my project from Flex Builder. Though this class apparently comes standard with CS4, it's nowhere to be found on the filesystem. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it in a swc file?
View 1 RepliesI was reading about the "bones" tool in Flash CS4, and the IK library that comes with it, but I don't have access to CS4...so I'm wondering if there is a smilar tool and library for CS3 users, who may want to create these effects with Actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI am looking for leads on an Open Source IK library for AS3.
My project involves simple 2D limbs with shoulder/elbow/wrist joints.
If I am unable to find anything I am going to try and write one, although my math is not anywhere near up to the task.
For a site im working on I want an object to move thats hanging on a piece of wire made with the bone tool to move when my mouse is moved towards it so it would swing when the mouse is placed near.I thought using a simple code to move the movieclip attached to the bone would work but it just moves the movie clip and forgets about the kinematics. this is the code i used:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followmouse);
function followmouse(event:Event):void {
var dx:int = box.x - mouseX;

I'm wondering if there are any nice ways of inversing a black and white / monochrome bitmapdata in AS3 which don't involve going through and setting each pixel by pixel?
View 2 Repliessay i have 9 children in a xml code.when i read it into AS3 i get 0~8 children.what if i wanted an inversion of this?
ie
xml[0] = xml[8]
1 = 7
2 = 6
etc
so then i could have two versions, xmlA as the regular 0~8, and xmlB is inverted.
is it possible to perform inverse trigonometric function using AS3? Actually , i want to calculate the angle of incidence of ball to the wall then reflect back it to angle of reflect.
Sin i=Sin r
Is there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)
i am trying to edit a flash template with flash cs4.the problem is that there are some pictures in there that are hidden ( dont ask how is that possible becoz i dont know). to see this pictures i have to use distribute into layers. as i want to change this photos the problem is that after i change them i dont know how to do the invers of distribute into layers.... and as a result the template doesent work as it has to.
View 1 RepliesI've taken this problem far and wide, and it's a common one, too: Someone wants to use a mask inversely, hiding the masked object instead of revealing it. The only coded solution is to create a bigger "stage" mask with the inverse mask cut out. I understand the process, and have a slight grip on methods of executing it. Too bad it still will not work properly. I have employed two solutions to no avail. There was this simple option, and then there was this slightly harder option.
And where it works for some people, it is not working in my instance. If you look at my files, the masks cut out rather strangely. Is there something different about this situation that requires a different line of code, or am I simply using it wrong? To show you how they worked out, this is the goal: And this is what I ended up with after option 2: Because the object will be squishing and changing shape, creating the mask frame by frame would be a hassle. Changing the shape of a solid mask is a lot easier than moving the particular points of a "stage" mask manually.
I have a var that captures a slider position like this:
Code:
var sliderPosition = Math.round((thumb.y-bounds.top)/(bounds.right-bounds.top)*100);
which outputs a number between 0 and 100 starting on 0. I need to scale an mc from 1 at sliderPosition =0 to .42 at sliderPosition = 100.
I have an actionscript project which uses visual symbols from an SWC. I have a CheckoutButton which has the following class associated with it (compiled into the SWC in Flash CS3).

View 8 RepliesHas anyone here ever developed a function (or general library of relevant functions) that will allow one to find the inverse of a matrix? I've searched the forum archives, as well as the internet more generally, but haven't found anything. If anyone has some leads, I hope you'll pass them along.
If I don't hear anything within the next few days, I might try to develop something on my own, but I'd hate to do so if someone has already done the dirty work.
A solution to this problem would be very useful for 3-D work or anyone doing mathematical programming more generally.
The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.
I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?
I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..
View 2 Repliesinheritance and building classes from other classes.

View 2 RepliesI am new to classes and I am just starting to follow tutorials on how to assign classes and sub classes and I am wondering when you assign a base class or class to an object(Symbol e.g movieclip) through the properties, are all instances on the stage no matter how many and what they are named influenced and is the Stage/main timeline always the parent? and just one more question, is the parents objects display list all the movieclips that are used on the stage or all the instances on the stage?

It seems that the code of flash's classes under enFirst RunClassesFP9flash are not complete but merely prototype declarations. Where is the actual or working code and why are they not using package { } keywords? Instead they declare classes using the intrinsic class keywords. What is intrinsic and why would i want to have intrinsic classes? Can i also make intrinsic classes? Why are some classes under "fl" like import fl.transitions.Tween; and others are under "flash" like flash.display.MovieClip.
Additional: The classes in enFirst RunClassesFP8flash are not complete... Where are the other classes like flash.display.MovieClip located? I only see BitmapData under display. There must be another "flash" folder not under FP8 and FP9 but i can't find it with a simple search. Also enConfigurationActionScript 3.0Classesfl is incomplete i think. Is the organization of files bad? Some imports are with "fl" others are with "flash"
what the difference is in ActionScript 3 classes between the import.fl and the import flash. options?
