Professional :: Creating A 3D Dice/clock?
Jul 28, 2010
I am trying to create a dice that doubles up as a 60 second timer that counts from 60 to 0. I have managed to create the timer with some actionscript and a single frame swf, one layer for the AS 3 and one for the dynamic text box. I have also create a die from four 60*60 squares that animates 90 degree's so it looks as if it is rolling.
My issue is, how do I bring these together? As the clock/timer is dynamic textbox it can't be animated around 3D space, so it needs to be converted into a movie clip (to the best of my knowledge). when I do this, the actionscript no longer works as it's no longer having to update the text attribute of a textfield, but the contents of a movieclip.Next, I tried to import the timer.swf (clock) and dice.swf with the Loader class and loaded each of them into a movieclip, then layered them. This ALMOST works, however unlike the text in timer.swf, the text in this instance is not refreshed and simply writes the updated value over the previous value.Here is what I've ended up with:
AS 3 code:
<code>
var dice:Loader = new Loader();

I have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;
function clockHandler(e:Event)

I want to create a clock that goes backwards really quickly. Something that would be used to represent going back in time. I found a clock that uses the following AS...

I worked out that adding a minus to all '360' elements would run the clock backwards but I can't work out how to run the clock really fast....Can anyone shed a bit of light?

I've just created a draft animation demonstration of a unique analogue clock [URL]. What I would like to achieve is to also have a digital clock just below it. So when you roll over the analogue clock, the animation starts for both clocks. When you roll off the animation stops leaving the time displayed exactly the same on both clocks. So basically both the clocks run simultaneously (speeded up). How I might achieve this?

I am programming an instrument that has a feature for the user to offset the clock by the timezone that they are in. I have your basic clock functioning and give the users the ability to select their clock offset and store both the offset Hours and the Minutes in separate variables... My question is how to i take these variables and have them calculate/ update this standard clock function that i am using below:

I need to create a clock with hour and minute hands that can be repositioned when the mouse is down and stop when the mouse is up. I have the drag and drop working but I am not sure how to make the hands not move from the center. Below is what I have so far but it does not allow the longHands registration point to remain constant.
longHand_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragLong);
function dragLong(event:MouseEvent):void
{
longHand_mc.startDrag();

can you tell me if it is possible to detect if an object is rotating anti clockwise or not? at present i get x,y co-ords and use the code below to rotate it which is fine. now i could write an if statement to check if rotation is negative or positive but because rotation can be negative and positive when rotating clockwise and anti clockwise this wouldnt work.

Ok, i am creating a snakes and ladders game and have so far produced the board, the counter and the dice.Once the dice is rolled it returns a value called 'rollValue'The counter is a movie clip with the instance name 'counter' and is set up on the timeline with position 1 on the timeline being the first place on the board, position 2 on the timeline being the second place, 3 on the timeline being 3rd position on board etc etc.What i need to do is move the counter to the position on the timeline (hence moving it on the board) that is returned by the dice value.I was thinking something like this:
counter.gotoAndStop(rollValue);
or maybe this on the actual counter which would move it the amount of places determined by rollValue:

I need to create a small dice game in Flash. The random number generator is external and I have to create a 3D realistic dice animation with that outcome. I'm using Away3D engine and JigLib for physics. So far the best idea I've had is to do many simulations and create a list of outcomes and their corresponding input parameters (initial position, initial orientation and the forces added to the RigidBody). This is not working so well. Sometimes for the same parameters the outcome is different. What is the best way to do this?

1. I would like to make an animation where a dice roles from the left of screen towards the middle. Bit like this: I am thinking an animation, then put it on a path (not sure how to do this, but I know it can be done.) I have heard that swift3d could help me here, if so, give me a heads up. I could also make it an animation and make it bounce on the spot and use the inflash camera and draw back the distance to seem as if it is moving forward. Basically the main problem is how do I make the animation of the cube?

I'm trying to create a board game with a dice. I have a pawn which is supposed to move through the fields on the board according to the number on the dice, after it was rolled. The board has rectangle shape.I've created a function rollDice() which is controlling dice rolling and the movement of the pawn. The dice itself is event handlerThe board itself is within movie clip "map_mc" in which I've created a separated mc, called "node" + the number of the field, for each board field. So, there are "node0" to "node37" inside "map_mc", as there are 37 fields on the board. The pawn "tiger_mc" is also inside the parent "map_mc".
The problem is next:I somehow can't achieve that the pawn move from the current field to the next (according to the dice number) step by step. The movement is too quick and the pawn "is cutting" the corner of the board.Explanation of the code:The whole code for dice rolling and pawn movement is inside rollDice() function which is called by pressing the dice itself. It tracks both current position of the pawn (var curr_position) and it's next position (var next_position). It also push index of all fields in between into array fields_arr. I've created a counter inside that function which goes through fields_arr elements and changes the pawn's _x and _y accordingly, up to the last field - the new position. But the pawn is moving as directly from the current to the new position (not gradually over the fields in between). So the effect of such movement is that the pawn "is cutting the corner of the board". For instance, if the current position is "node7" (which is on the one side of the rectangle/board) and the next position is "node12" (which is on the next side of the rectangle/board), the pawn is not moving gradually node8-node9-...-node12 but as directly from node7 to node12,

I am creating a board game and I am using Object Oriented Programming with AS3. I created a movie clip with a circle that moves across the game board. There are 18 squares and 18 frames. I have a button that gives you a value with a dice with the random number function:
public function rollDie():void
{_dieValue = Math.ceil(Math.random()*6)
this.gotoAndStop(_dieValue);}
I have a class for the dice button, die, gameboard, and the main board. I am trying to make the circle move across the board(or go to the frame in the mc) depending on what the value I get with the dice. Here is my code so far:
[Code]....
The mc instance for the gameboard is gameBoard. Also, if anyone knows how to trigger a labeled frame depending on which square the circle lands on that would be a plus.

Trying to create a DVD from a swf animation. The DVD needs to be able to work on any standard TV connected (non pc) DVD player. I need to export to a video format (.AVI or .MOV) the next bit is what do I need to do to make this file play automatically when the DVD is loaded? Something like you do for CD-ROM an autorun.inf? My animation is 646 px X 346 what is the resolution of a standard LCD tv? Will I need to redesign the animation with more pixels to get it to be optimised on the TV?

I'm a designer who uses ID to create eBrochures. I can of course export SWF files and associated resources from ID to upload for web usage, but what I'm trying to do is create Full Screen projectors (amac and PC of these files). I have Flash Cs5, but know nothing about it. I can of course use the Flash PLayer Debugger to openthe ID created SWF and use the 'Create Projector Command' to make a self contained Projector, which is *almost* what I need.
Only problem is the SWF is not / cannot be set from ID to open in Full Screen mode, so the projector inherits that characteristic. Is there some easy way to add some script to the ID file so it open full screen? Or is there some kind of shell FLA I can get that would simply say something like "open content.swf and play full screen" then I can use that standardised name for my SWFs and make a projector of that ?
