I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish a fairly simple task: I have a simple graphic and I'd like to apply an "orbiting" effect to it - so that the graphic moves in a circle around an arbitrary point (without rotating around its own center).[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a circular motion path using Senocular's tutorial here.What I want is a box to move around a circle motion path that is created in AS when the user presses a button. However I'm having trouble decifering all of Sencular's code because there is a lot of advanced stuff that he puts in that I don't want and I'm having trouble getting started.

View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to create a color wheel component in Flex 4 that will allow me to represent RGB and HSL data.I'm doing so with a circular color wheel representing the various hues available to me and a rectangular gradient in the center of that which will represent the lightness and saturation fields
Currently I have the objects represented but I cannot determine the best way to fill them in. I have no problem creating the gradient necessary in the center square, but I cannot get the outer ring to build a -circular- gradient. It seems the only two native gradients in flex are linear and radial, but I need the gradient to linearly follow the path around the ellipse. How would I make this possible?
Here's the attempt I've made thus far:
<s:Group>
<s:Ellipse x="7" y="7" width="136" height="136">
<s:stroke>
<s:LinearGradientStroke weight="14">

Im trying to make a ball move to the position of a crosshair (not the mouse, but another object on the stage) which stops after 15 seconds (if you can imagine a penalty shoot out game).
So the ball is still to begin, but on an onClipEvent(enterFrame)command it should move to the target (the crosshair)
Getting the ball to move along a line at a specified speed is no problem, but I want the ball to actually go to and stop wherever the crosshair is on the stage.
Okay, so i have a circle symbol and i want to have my text around the circle, do i have to adjust each letter seperately until i get them all in uniform or is there some way to "warp" the text as you can in photoshop?

View 2 Replieshow to make a simple ball follow an oval motion path? Think of a molecule spinning (and looping) around a nucleus. This was five seconds work in previous versions where you could draw the motion guide then simply attach an object to it and say "orient to path" but I can't seem to find how to do it in CS4.

Can I do that in Flex 3 ? If yes, how ?

View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to create an app using flash AIR.I would like to find some more information on how to make an object snap to another ojbect then follow its path, eg. a person object is already on the stage, then drag an arrow to the object which snaps to it, then on play button it follows the arrow path. all in pure actionscript, no guide layers.
View 1 RepliesI am designing an interface where a person will drag a circular measurement tool (called a goniometer) over part of an image, and then rotate two different arms on the tool to measure an angle.The entire tool itself needs to be draggable by its center. So far I have the arms rotating by means of pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard, but it would be more realistic to have the user drag the arms to rotate them. I can't think of how to accomplish that, though.

I am trying to place leaves in a circle to create a flower with code. I run into some problems.Is it possible to rotate the leaves so they all rotate in the direction of the center of the flower? And is it possible to calculate how many leaves can fit around a certain circle radius without to much overlapping?
View 1 RepliesI'm still new to AS3, and I was wondering how to make an object point in the direction of another object and move towards it if they are a certain distance from one another. I haven't been able to find out how to do this from the Adobe devnet, so I thought I'd ask here.

View 2 Repliesmake my hero go back to his shelter when he finds some food or when he approaches an enemy. It looks like this:
1. The hero is in the shelter.
2. The hero is hungry.
3. The hero leaves the base to hunt some animals down.
4. The hero is full and is headed back to the shelter.
5. He moves in the direction of where the base is.
So, once again, how do I make my hero go back to where he came from? How do I make my hero's x and y position to fit the way back home?
I have 10 objects in 10 layers to make a single logo. I have created them using flash drawing objects. Now I would like each object to come one by one on stage using motion tween. How can I go further? Do I need to make each object a movie clip before set it motion tween? Or do I need to make a single movie with all 10 objects as combined? Please note that I need each object to come on stage one by one (not a whole logo on once). Please provide help or any example tutorial link.
View 3 RepliesI'm about to implement
public function writeExternal( output:IDataOutput ):void {...}
public function readExternal( input:IDataInput ):void {...}
to make a set of object serializable.
Although I'm pretty sure, that I implemented all correctly, readExternal(..) at a certain point complains about too few data left to read:
RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.

I wonder, if I have a circular object network like
A = { left -> B, right -> B }
B = { father -> A }
And I call
writeObject( a )
Will Flex serialize the hole object network and each object once and only one?
I did this:
Declared type annotations like this: [RemoteClass(alias="model.MyClass")]
Implemented parameter-free constructors
Declared all classes using implements IExternalizable
SharedObject's send() method is guaranteed to send each object once and only once.
Additional infos:
Reading and writing a ByteArray
Using Remote Object Components
IExternalizable interface
I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
Code:
sharedObject.data.dataName=loader
because I assume it doesn't work that way.
Lets say I have a visual component (button) and a non-visual Object that receives a message and generates music in realtime (using an internal Sound object, etc). What's the best way to make the connection in OOP/AS3? In other languages, I've used to add the objects to a top level object (something like the Application object) and let them see each other. Example: Add button to App, add SndManager to App. Click on button, notify App, make App invoque the play() method on the SndManager.I'm asking you this because the above example looks odd to me. In fact, I'm not sure if I can add a non-visual object like my SndManager to the Application object.how can I bridge this?

I have an object that I want to smoothly move along the x axis when the user clicks on the screen. I first made a prototype that would make the ball end at a location I specified by doing x = 450; I then tried looping ball1.x += 1 with a for/do (I encapsulated it with a boolean so the if ball1.x got to 450 it would stop) statement and I couldn't see the ball transition, I just saw it stop at the 450 mark.
