IDE :: 3D Vanishing Point And Importing Swf's?
Mar 16, 2010
I created a 3d animation, put it in its own movieclip, and want to add two of them to the stage. Since they're in different locations, the animation looks different; I assume because the perspective registers around the stages vanishing point. I want both to look the exact same. The only solution I could think of was exporting the animation as an swf and importing that clip, and instantiating those seperately. The problem I am having with this is when I click import to library and choose the swf, nothing happens. There is no error, and no files are added to the library.
1. What am I doing wrong with the importing?
2. Is there a different/better way to make these multiple instances look the same in the final video?

I spend hours trying to figure out how to change the new Flash CS4 3D property, Vanishing Point, dynamically.
The VP is a Stage property, this point can simulate the perspective effects of the third dimension, where the objects will converge to as long as his Z property is increased.
I want to change the VP position in runtime.
Does anybody knows if it's possible?

one of my homework assignments for a begginer Actionscript/flash class. The goal of the assignment is to draw a shape then have it continuously drawn until it reaches the vanishing point in the center of the stage. I am pretty new to actionscript since this is the first class I have taken for it and I really dont know how to explain it better. I am trying to write the code for. This is the code I have so far it basically just draws the shape I am using and I am lost on what to do next:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code].....

So I've now realized that no mater what I do. my 3D vanishing point is relative to my stage coordinates and not my movieclip's coordinates. I'm trying to move my 3D movieclip from one point of the stage to another but with the strong perspective that I have, I do not want it to change. I would like to move it and preserve it's perspective and not change it's shape.

I'm working with a few designers, each of whom have created 3D animations (using fp 10 capabilities) for use in the same flash application. Each 3D animation is a unique movieclip that will ultimately be part of the same .fla file.
The problem I'm having is that each of the movieclips was created in a separate .fla, and each .fla had different settings for the vanishing point for the stage. This means that after importing the various moveiclips into my library, none of the visual assets are aligned as they were in their source .flas.
The good news is that only one of these movieclips is displayed at a time, so I don't need to be able to have multiple vanishing points; all I need to do is change the global vanishing point programmatically at various points during runtime.
What should I do? I've tried accessing root.transform.perspectiveProjection.projectionCenter and dynamically assigning it new Point(x, y) values, but they don't seem to be having any effect on the 3D movieclips.

Is there any way, using Flash CS4, to change the vanishing point (ie projectionCenter) of a MovieClip? Or can Flash CS4 only adjust the stage's vanishing point? It seems that when I change it from inside a MovieClip it changes it on a global level, which is not what I want.
I've found I can use AS3 with PerspectiveProjection to change it at runtime, but I can't see the affect in Flash CS4 which makes doing the actual animation incredibly cumbersome.

I'm importing an external image, but by default the anchor point (coordinates 0,0) for the movieclip it loads into is the top left,this is obviously an issue if I want to rotate, as I need coordinates (0,0) to be the centre of the image, not the top left?

I'm using the new 3D tool in flash to let pictures rotate around there center. To not let it look distorted I will have to adjust the vanishing points for these images separately, however I can't find an option to control them separately. The seem linked for all my 3D movieclips. This will result in having only 1 moviclip animated right. So the question is: how do I control the vanishing points for each movieclip separately?

I am working with the web template located at the following URL: [URL] If you look you will see the "Contacts" page has a form with text (i.e. "Name", "Phone", "E-Mail", etc.) that vanishes when each text box is clicked. After editing the contact information above the form the effect was lost somehow.

I am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library... [URL] I've placed both picture close of each other and if you look closely, you'll notice that one of them is losing some resolution. Both picture come from the same file, a png. The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.

How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)
[Code]....
But these formulae give me strange result when z are less than zero(z<0) I need build line from A(100,100,100) to B (100,100;-100) As you can see these equations give really strange result when I try to convert B point in 2D dimension

i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )

I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.

I know some basic trig. but how do i find an angle from an anchor point and a moving point?
adjecent = _root.anchor._x-_root._xmouse;
opposite = _root.anchor._y-_root._ymouse;
hypotenuse = ((adjacent ^ 2)+(opposite ^ 2)) ^ 0.5;

I am trying to develop a Quadratic Bezier Curve using the graphics.curveTo() method. Initially when i drag mouse to draw the shape, i use start point and end point of mouse to draw the curve line. I assume control point at any position below or up to the line. An draw the curve using this control point. some what like:-
[Code]...
Now i add a tip on this curve segment. I have x and y position of tip. I want to change the curve segment by dragging tip. but now i don't have the exact control point according to tip position. If i use tip coordinate as control point it reduce the height of curve and now tip does not lie on the curve segment. What i have to do is calculate the exact control point on the basis of tip coordinate. But i failed to get this point.

I'm trying to figure out how to find a point relative to the center of an object, modified by its rotation. For example, in the attached swf, I've been messing around trying to draw trails to a bitmap, coming out of the thrusters. I didn't have a problem at first, but as the ship rotated, the lines that were being drawn wouldn't remain relative.
http:[url]....
I'm sure this is because I have no idea what I'm doing, and I've just been sort of idioting my way through it. That aside, is there an easy way to find the point I'm looking for? For instance, say I want a point at Y -14 of my ship, but I want that to remain relative to the ship as it rotates.

From the Robert Penner code given in this tutorial: [URL] i was wondering why controlx and controly has to be so complicated. I've tried changing it to just _root._xmouse but it messes up. I don't get this, shouldn't the curve point be the same point as the mouse?

Basically what I like to ask is how to move a object from one point to another point based on the point tat you have clicked on a graph. For example, If I click on this coordinate (2,3) on graph, the object (movie clip) will move to that point.
