Actionscript 3 :: Constrain MovieClip Drag To A Circle?
Jun 28, 2011
I have a draggable slider that looks like this:
The blue bar has the instance name track and the pink dot has the instance name puck.
I need the puck to be constrained within the blue area at all times, and this is where my maths failings work against me! So far I have the puck moving along the x axis only like this:
private function init():void
{
zeroPoint = track.x + (track.width/2);
puck.x = zeroPoint-(puck.width/2);
[Code]....

I have a movieclip that is locking to mouse center when dragging it. I know how to set up the boundary code, though the movieclip images are different sizes, so didn't want to have to create a custom code such as:t.startDrag(true, 290, 85, 910, 390);for each movieclip.does anyone know how to constrain the draggable item to within the left, top, right, bottom boundaries inside of a movieclip?

I have been trying to get this right for hours now it cant be as hard as I am finding it! but basically I have a circle and in that circle is a circle and all I want is for the inner circle to not be able to leave its parent. that's it but I just cant get it to work.

I have a MC called planPOPUP which is draggable and at the moment I am constraining where the MC can be dragged to by using the 4 co-ordinates method such as:
Code:
startDrag (_root.loadHERE.allImagesMC.planPOPUP, false, 116, 231, 913, 396);
Now would it be possible to, instead of using that method, place another MC around the edge of the stage, making a border, and then have some code so that whenever planPOPUP touches the border MC it cannot be dragged over it? Thus constraining it to within the borders of the stage?

I'm trying to create an interactive piece, where the veiwer can move sliders to effect to movement of other pieces. I understand how to contrain the movement of the sliders, and I've done so, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to constrain the movements of the mc's effected by the sliders. How do I do this without using the drag function?

I have this problem...no worries it is only about ActionScript! I have created two movieclips: one is called "sun_mc" (with a nice smile) and a ring of sunrays (short and long ones) called "ring_mc".the ring is situated around the sun.
The user clicks the sun and drags to rotate it.The user can click the ring to rotate that too.When the sun is rotating...the ring should not be...and vice versa.
I have three problems...
1) I can't get the two mc's to move independently 2) When rotating the mouse position always jumps to a certain point on the movieclip...not the point where you clicked it first 3) The ring is also rotating when the mouse is outside the ring...
What should I do?I tried to obscure a part of the ring_mc with some masking...That didn't work.Should I try hitTest? And how should I do that? That only works with squares doesn't it?

I have a function that states when movieclip1 is dragged and hits a line then it stops the drag, however it seems to stop the entire drag function in the swf on the other movieclips even though they arent called in the function.[code]

I am creating an flex Air project,so mxml file will run. I have circles in one Big circle at one side and will be same on other side.
Now how to drag any circle from any Big circle to other side. Or it could be like any two container having circles, then how to drag and drop circle?
For one circle i am able to do drag and drop.But I want one Big circle on left hand side and one big circle on right hand side .And small circles with class names will be in these big circles.Now i want to drag and drop those small circles in big circles.Big cicles should not move. Even i have tried this code in actionscript
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
But in this i want big circles should not move and small circles should only be dragged.

I'm developing a game atm, and I need some help on the mathematics/coding of colliding circles (and their change in x/y speed). What i need to know is how to calculate the direction and speed a circle has after colliding with a static (non-moving) circle. I know how to detect a collision between the two, but I'm not sure about the maths I need to give the circle the right speed and direction after the collision
If i do know how far away the two circle-points (in the middle of each) are to each other (in both x and y coords) would it be easy for me to find the new speed and direction of the large circle in the example above? I know that I somehow should use the angles to pretend the circle hits a flat "wall" (as it only hits one point), and then calculate the new speed/direction. My only problem is that I'm not sure how to decide the angle of this flat "wall" and how x and y speeds should change when colliding with a wall that is angled. Does anyone here have any insight, links or tips on how I can du this?

I want to create circle, and put 8 points on it. So, user can drag each point in order to change it's shape.
Is there any way to do this in flash?
I have some following code:
Ref. - How to draw a continuous curved line from 3 given points at a time
package{import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Point;
[Code].....
So, can anyone convert these three point curve line to 8 points circle?

Trying to do circle circle collisions via math which I'm really having trouble with. One circle (player) just moves from keyboard. The ball reacts to the player. All the code shown is in my players class and I passed in a reference to the ball.
On my enterframe I have:
Code:
var xmov1 = xSpeed;
var ymov1 = ySpeed;
var xmov2 = ballRef.xSpeed;
var ymov2 = ballRef.ySpeed;
[code]....
Perhaps I'll go with a box2d equivalent instead of trying out my own physics shenanigans.

It's the beginning of a Monkey Island / Grisworld The Goblin kind of ultra short and simple game. Actually this is the only think I have to figure out.
Actually it already works if you click the x where it's positioned on the screenshot, but it doesn't work other places. And yes I've tried everything, and I'm just nok smart enough to figure this out.
More precisely it's the alternative path, after the arrow collides with the circle, that's causing me problems - since it's going to find it's way to the point clicked on stage.

Is there a way to make part of a movieclip transparent? Using actionscript that is.I want to create 'holes' in a movieclip so I can see through it.If needed I guess I can change the movieclip into a sprite if that makes it easier, but I am unfamiliar with flash so I need to learn the proper way to do such a thing.

I know AS3 doesn't have a duplicateMovieClip method anymore so how is this done? I tried the following with little success. Circle is a movieClip on the stage with instance name of circle. myEmptyClip is a movieClip in the library with the linkage set to myEmptyClip.
Code:
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, makeNewCircle);
circle.buttonMode = true;
function makeNewCircle(event:MouseEvent):void {
var newCircle:myEmptyClip = new myEmptyClip();
newCircle.x = 300;
newCircle.y = 100;
addChild(newCircle);
}

I posted a while back looking for a function to make one movieClip circle around a fixed point. The solution I was given (which has worked perfectly up until now) is:[code]This function is called repeatedly by a Timer (loopTimer) with delay 10.The problem I have hit now though, is that if I want to modify or reverse the speed of rotation at any point it causes a jump in position (because I am setting the x and y values directly, rather than incrementing them e.g. "x = ..." rather than "x += ..."). Can anyone see a way to modify this function so that I can just increment the x/y positions?

I Have the drag and drop working where you drag a text movieclip onto a picture of an object movieclip but having some problems. I know its something to do with the hitTest function but when i drop the word "cow" onto the picture of a dog it actually says this is correct by displaying the word cow above the picture of the dog when instead it shouldnt allow me to drop the text onto the picture which doesnt match.
Basically i need to know how to seperate the drag hitTest function for the DogPic/DogText so that it has its own function to detect a hit. At the moment you can see in the below code I have 1 hittest fucntion detecting both collisions when they need seperate functions I tried making a seperate function for each but it didnt work

I have a simple three ring animation where the three rings fade in and out.On the stage the rings are a perfect circle, in the publish preview they look fine, but once I publish the SWF, all of the sudden the rings are not perfectly round anymore.
They are almost perfect but right at the top and bottom there is just a small portion which has sort of "flattened out"...

I bought a Flash video tutorial online for Animating and the FIRST step is to create a circle with the circle tool, and the guy does it online, and it fills itself in. I repeat his actions exactly and I cannot get the same result at all. I just get a circle.

I have two MC's, circular in shape. One of the circles is stationary and you can drag the other. I'm trying to get the moveable circle to be able to move around the circumference of the stationary circle, but not overlap. I'm able to detect when they overlap, not using hittest. I just can't figure out how to code it so that the draggable circle can't be moved over the stationary circle.
