I am working on making a picture move along a path but for some reason I can't get it to work. I have followed the instructions in my text book but the image just goes down at an angle to the bottom right of the stage instead of following the path I created in the motion guide.

View 3 RepliesI have created a motion-tween with three images rotating in a flat circle from the foreground to the back. As the images move to the background, they shrink in size 25% and darken a bit. The motion has three stopping stages, with each image having a period in the foreground.
I am having an issue figuring how to make the images in the front to overlap those in the back as it rotates. I have tried placing each image on a seperate layer and placing the images on a single layer but it doesn't function the way I hope.
I am building a sniper game and I can't figure out how to make the game make the mouse twitch, like in clear vision elite.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble getting a platform to move between a certain path with AS3.
My code looks like this -
Code:
if (((_platform.x >= 300) && (_sp >0)) || ((_platform.x <= 50) && (_sp <0)))
{
_sp *= -1;
}
_platform.x += _sp;
where _sp is the speed at which the platform moves (currently at 7) and _platform is the instance name of the platform.
I want it to move between the coordinates 50 and 300 along the x axis. What it does is, moves along the x axis and as soon as _platform.x hits 300 I get this weird movement where the platform moves back and forth at this point.
I'm having a problem with a button that should change the mouse pointer to an arrow when clicking it and, after while, turn it back to a hand cursor. I use the Button.useHandCursor method to acheive this. This works fine in the Flash IDE, but when testing in a browser, the mouse pointer won't change back to the hand unless i move the mouse. I've tried a LOT of stuff, including updateAfterEvent without any success.
View 4 RepliesI tried to create simple animation from this Kirupa's tutorial My aim is to make a circle run from left to right and when it is almost to the edge it will move back to the origin point and it will loop only 3 times. So I came up with totally baby script like this:
[Code]...
But the MC is not move back to the original place. Sorry for not even finish the script for stop looping. Only tweak on play loop it make me very confused. My knowledge is quite in entry level but I eager to learn. Could you let me know what is wrong with the script?
I have finished a little game called "math match". The idea of the game comes from "math mountain", a game is for the player who must caculate some kind of mathmatic questions, if the answer is correct, the player will move along a predefined path in several steps. I am newbie for programming games, so I am not sure what I have done in moving the role is the correct one, although it works okay. I know in Flash CS3, I can use motion guid layer to make the role move along a predefined path, but it seems it's not good in the game, or I don't know how to control it in actionscript 3.0. So I used many 'marks'(little movieclip) along the path. That divide a path into small pieces of lines, so I can move the role along the lines. If the 'marks' is enough, the precise is enough, the movement works okay.
But I think it's quite not a good method. I don't know if there is any good algorithm to move the movieclip along a predefined path, and this path is random, is hardly to be described by any math equation. I think in Flash CS3, we can draw a path by author tools, indeed Flash CS3 use some algorithm to do that. If we can get that math equation, we can simulate the movement very precisily, but is it possible? I don't know.
i want to make 3 objects move in a square pathi tried to use guide layers but it didn't work good for both three objectsonly the first object followed the exact pathis there some other way to do it??

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a game right now where I'm going to have paths dynamically built by the user for multiple AI objects to "walk" along. I'll be detecting/redrawing the path only on user input but I'm still debating over the fastest possible method to update the movement of many AI objects "walking" along/up/down the given path. Think for example of pac man, but the level is dynamic. Right now I'm leaning toward building the enemies in a linked list of final classes and looping through the linked list calling a function in each of the AI objects to plot the next move along the path.
View 1 RepliesI have a motion tween that I have move forward along a path, is there any way I can make the motion tween then move backward along the same path and then forward again.... like a loop?
View 2 RepliesI am am not a developer but have bought a template which I am modifying to suit my needs. I have made most of the modifications but and stuck on how to change the animation for the image gallery. When I move from one picture to the next the animation effect is something like a bubble burst. This is too flamboyant for me. I would like to change it to something more sleek but have no clue where to start.
View 1 RepliesAfter read a lot about ball physics, watch some examples and few days of trying making pinball with bitmaps, I use simple (easy to work with) and fast performance Physics AS3 engine for bitmaps [URL] but still cant fix problem: if ball is moving too fast and object on path is too small, there will be no collision detection (code works perfect only with bigger objects or if ball is moving slower). I am not good at physics and maths. Here is function code which make physics for ball on every frame rate (but maybe its better to change it to setTimeout):
function showFrame(e:Event) // onEnterFrame{
var collisions:Array = collisionlist.checkCollisions();
if(collisions.length) // if collision{
var collision:Object = collisions[0]; // get collision information
var angle:Number = collision.angle; // get collision angle
[Code] .....
How can I make a Movie Clip move dynamically following a path given by a line?? Like.... the user can draw a line and the movlieclip moves following it ? how ?

I've been trying to figure out a way to assign a link ID to a loaded image so that I can then attach that clip to various other nested movieclips.
If I load the image into an empty movieclip on the stage that already has a link ID in the library and then try to attach that movieclip to another one using its link ID, it will attach the empty clip from the library and not the one on the stage with my loaded image in it.
This problem has come up from wanting to preload images (using a loading array) but then wanting to attach these images to dynamically generated clips later on, that are nested deep within my movie.
I know that i could load in swfs (with link IDs) instead of jpegs, but I need updates to the site to simply require images added to a folder, rather than a whole lot of swfs with Link IDs created.
I'm creating a DVD with an image gallery, everything local. But the thing is my loaded images appears within flash, and not outside when I execute the swf. The path of the image is inside an array (from an xml file). If I write the path of my trace(array[x][x]), the image outside flash is shown. But when I write:
loadMovie(array[x][x].toString()) or loadMovie(array[x][x])
It doesn't...
I did a trace of array[x][x] and it shows me the exact path to the image..
Code:
_root.obra_mc.containerImg_mc.loadMovie("images/Patrimonio/Ceramica/"+(obras[0][1]).toString());
I have done some coding in the past in .asp .aspx, but it is not my primary forte. I am working on a site that has a page for project photo galleries, and have been following a lot of the tutorials from this site. I have a directory structure as follows:
root folder (containing projects.swf) --> projects directory --> project1 directory(containing image files, thumbnail images, and images.xml)
For testing purposes, in projects.fla, and resulting projects.swf, I have:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
[Code]....
how to code projects.fla with the correct path to the .xml file in the <root>projectsproject1 directory, and ideally, a way to make it dynamic so I can pass the path to the projects.swf file using a variable, and be able to direct the movie to use the intended xml file, thumbnails, and images based on the press of a button contained in a projects menu. Unless I have missed something, all of the tutorials I saw had the images and .xml file in the same directory as the .swf.
I'm trying to figure out a way to alter a path to an image that is in a meta tag. It's for a facebook share button, and I'd like the ability to change the thumbnail image that is sent to facebook depending on where the user is in my flash file. The link itself is sent from flash no problem but I'd like to update this meta tag
Code:
<link rel="image_src" href="[URL]" / >
First somehow (not sure if PHP is the answer or flashvars or what) and then send the link. I attempted to just add all the facebook meta data to a php file that had a redirect link to the facebook share but it didn't like that hack. So basically I need to alter the meta tag on the current page and send the link from flash.
I'm currently working on a flash app, that enables the user to select a background image and later save that layout.
Things i have done so far[code]...
My Problem is:
1. How can i get the path and filename of the inserted image?
2. how can i copy the selected background image to the folder where the user saves it's layout?
