Flash :: Move A Displayobject Based On Another Objects Rotation?
Jan 17, 2010Ive probably ran into some code like this before. just cant remember where. I have 2 display objects on my stage. One is rotating and the other is positioned 90 degrees from the rotating object. As the object rotates, the other object adjusts its x and y positioning from the rotating object..
If this doesnt make sense, then let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a spaceship in my flash game. this ship has 2 torrets siting on the left and right wing. as the ship turns, the torrets need to remain on the wings.
Flash :: DisplayObject.rotation Not Matching Trig Functions
Mar 19, 2010I'm trying to label an animated pie chart, and I've been having a great deal of trouble getting rotated objects to line up with trigonometrically-positioned objects. So, for example, if I have a pie piece that's middle is angle theta and has been rotated n degrees in a tween, and then I try to position a label with code like this:
label.x = center.x + Math.cos((theta + n)/180 * Math.PI) * radius;
label.y = center.y + Math.sin((theta + n)/180 * Math.PI) * radius;
the label is often not aligned with the center of the pie slice. Since I am also zooming in to the pie chart a great deal, the error becomes significant enough that it occasionally causes the label to miss the pie slice altogether. The error seems relatively unpredictable, and it looks a great deal like a rounding error, but I don't see any obvious rounding going on (the trig functions evaluate to ten or so decimal places, which should be more than enough here).
How can I get these labels to position correctly?
Flash :: Check If DisplayObject A Is A Descendant Of DisplayObject B?
Oct 26, 2010I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: 3D Rotation Of Nested Movieclips, Separate Of Parent Rotation?
Aug 11, 2010Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the rotation properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the child element it's own axis?I've customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin on the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I've also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of code to hide the left portion of the carousel. The entire carousel is contained within the 'container' movieclip, and inside of that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger item being the item in focus.
On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the viewer (as seen below),basically removing the 45 degree rotation applied to the container.The problem i'm running into is when you rotate the container (changing the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so when i rollover the next item 'in focus', the following happens..(in the example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a rotationX of 0, so it works fine)

Dec 2, 2008I am trying to do a simple "pseudo 3D" rotation of a movie clip. The clip would "flip" on to the screen. I have created the effect using PaperVision3D, however, the final SWF is about 64k and my project requires a smaller file size. I tried to create the flip effect manually by creating skewed versions of the clip and tweening between them, except this doesn't work because the shape is not tweaked along the vanishing point as it should be. It looks like perhaps I could accomplish what I want to do using the MatrixTransformer but I've not had much luck so far.

ActionScript 3.0 :: A DisplayObject Becomes NaN?
Apr 8, 2010I've come across a pretty bizarre bug in my code when working with level generation in a side-scrolling platformer I'm trying to make... I've been desperately trying to debug it for the past 2 days! I have a movieclip (exported for AS) called Section1, that contains the first section for a level. It's basically a huge movieclip containing other movieclips; this Section1 movieclip contains the graphics for the level, as well as collision detection (the graphics are .pngs converted into movieclips, the collision detection is transparent rectangles converted to movieclips). FYI, it's a BIG movieclip... roughly 3400 pixels wide.
So, since it is the 1st section of a level, I have it spawn at the beginning of the game. However, I need to access all the platforms, walls, and graphics inside section1 from inside AS. So, here's the code I am using to do this:
public var s1:Section1;
public var platforms:Array, walls:Array, levelGraphics:Array;
...
// in Main's constructor now:
s1 = new Section1(2236, 8);
[code]....
Initially, it works... I've traced the data in the arrays in my update method (run every frame), and I can see that the arrays contain displayobjects... for a split second, that is. Seemingly out of nowhere, the values for all the elements in the arrays become NaN! I think to myself... of course these DisplayObjects are "not a number"... they're displayobjects! Of course, this renders my arrays useless, since I can no longer access the data I need to do collision detections!

2) if I write var clip=evt.target it's works too but if I write var clip:MovieClip=evt.target it doesn't work. Why? It's a movieClip that should go in the variable var.

ActionScript 3.0 :: DisplayObject Being Orphaned From Parent?
Feb 25, 2009Firstly, I've created a global variable called mc to store a movieclip instance:[code]Later on inside a function, I've created a new instance of my movieclip and added it to the stage.[code]Now, this is working fine most of the time. But at one particular point in my program, after many other things have happened, when trying to remove this movieclip it throws the 'display object must be a child of the caller' error.So, I'm thinking if mc isn't a child of the stage, what is it a child of? Tracing mc.parent returns null - so it seems to be telling me that the parent (which was definitely the stage when it was created) has wandered of somewhere and abandoned my movieclip!I have no idea how this has happened, and as the whole program is several thousand lines long I can't post it here. So, does anyone have any idea what might cause a display object which is added to the stage to become orphaned like this?
