Actionscript 3 :: Moving Randomly-generated Object Based On Its Rotation
Oct 26, 2011
Making a ship game because I am incredibly original.. With that aside, I have a problem. I have a function to fire bullets from my ship based on its rotation which works.. it uses this code on creation: ember ho jis ny mmujhe block kia hai
[Code]...
The above code is in my Ship class so I can easily make the bullets achieve the correct rotation. And to continually update its position, in the bullet's class:
x += Math.cos(rotation / 180 * Math.PI) * speed;
y += Math.sin(rotation / 180 * Math.PI) * speed;
So that all works well. But I have another class, EnemyBullet, which randomly generates and uses similar code to set its direction and movement. In my ship class:
[Code]...
I gather that the rotation is therefore always horizontal, but can't for the life of me see why? Can anyone give me an answer? Assuming it's simple enough because the code I used to setup the rotation is the same working code I have used to turn a movieclip towards the mouse..

I have a movieclip moving on a path by means of a tween. At the starting point a (virtual) line on the movieclip is tangent to the path. Is there an easy way to automagically rotate the movieclip such that this line remains tangent to the path throughout the tween?

I am trying to move an object across the stage while my preloader is going. (i want two fists to meet when the preloader hits 100%). i am not very good with AS but i have tried things such as this.fist1_mc._x = percent + 100; but i am just taking shots in the dark at this point.

I'm trying to make an interactive graphic that is randomly generated at the press of an other button. To put this in context, I will have a button to roll dice. the dice numbers with then appear in 6 places on a board. you will then be able to select the dice.

In a game in which a player must pass through one of three different colored doors , each of the doors on the stage is a different instance of the same symbol. The symbol contains three frames labeled "door1", "door2" and "door3". I am attempting to get the doors to be randomly generated. The following code seems to work correctly when I trace it:
function getNewDoor(min:Number, max:number):Number
{
var getNewDoor:Number = Math.round(Math.random() [code].........

I want to have a few movie clips moving randomly over my flashsite. They will look bugs. And I want them to move in the direction the head is pointing.I have tried the random movement tutorial here on Kirupa but can't get the mc to rotate in the direction it's moving.

I use Flash 5
I went to this (click HERE) site. After a moment, it takes you to the main site.
The top banner is moving randomly over 3 or 4 pictures.

Basically, what I'm trying to accomplish is moving a movieclip towards the direction it's facing.I've been scoping around the net for different ideas on how to do it, but I've only found AS2 tuts.What I've done already is making the movieclip rotate around it's own center when the user presses either the left or the right arrow-key.What I'm now trying to accomplish is to make the movieclip move forward to the direction it is currently facing when the user presses up and vice versa for pressing down.

The player rotates to the mouse when you click somewhere and moves there. The problem is sometimes when you click on a corner the player rotates towards where you clicked but sometimes starts moving sideways.

I have tried modifying the " width = 300; height = 180;" line, but it does not seem to be changing much, if anything. I am trying to bound the random movement to the bottom 180 pixels of the composition.

As most of you probably don't know, I have started making a bow-man type of game..... There's just one problem: The code Here is what I have so far:
[Code]..
The major problem is having the arrow's angle be final when I click the mouse, and to shoot out correctly at that angle, and not be still rotating based off the bow's rotation.

I am trying to make the movieClip named "fish" go to a randomly generated spot. I tried using the tutorial, but I didn't understand the math, so I tried it with my own code. I'm not as much interested in getting this to work as I am knowing why it doesn't work.

I wasn't quite sure how to describe my problem in the subject. I have a plane MC and a crate MC. The plane only flies along the y axis from the bottom of the screen to top. Along the way I want it to randomly drop the crate MC. My code is below. The problem is that the crates spontaneously keep spawning and not near the plane.
function movePlane():void
{
var tempY:Number;

I'm working on my first game engine with AS3 and I'm hitting my first real setback. The idea is that the player controls a centered "turret" on the screen and can't move. Enemies come from all 4 sides and move towards the player. I have all the enemies spawning, randomly, on the edges of the screen. However their movement is silly, because I've coded it like this:
Code:
if (x > 300)

I want the final result to be a stage with a certain number of circle MC's moving around. I have made the circle MC, and added the AS so that it will start at a random point with a random color, then start moving around randomly. I want to make it so that In the beginning the document will duplicate the movie clip x amount of times, using a for loop. I want to then have all the new circles move around, and when two circles hit each other, they will dissappear, using the removeclip function. You can only use this on duplicated movieclips though, so how would i make all the circles duplicated? Is there a way to duplicate the original movieclip x amount of times then delete it? Or is there a way to remove the original after it is in a collision? Also I don't know how to do the collision detection. I am thinking of using a hittest, but would I just do it with a for loop? Is there a way so that if an MC hits any other MC?

Ive 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.

Quick Question, I just started learning the psuedo 3D methods in FP10, and as a sample I am creating a virtual rolodex. It is dynamically generated with a user inputted number of cards. The cards are then added to the stage and are rotated around a central axis using the function below.
[Code]....
After this is created I have an Enter Frame listener that rotates the cards around that axis based on mouse position. Problem is that they get depth sorted based on the order that they are created, cardArray[0] in back all the way up to whatever the number of cards is. I have tried a few of the simple Z sorting classes and noticed that my cards dont actually change there Z property, only their rotationX. I was just wondering if anyone might know of an easy way to depth sort these. Otherwise the best idea I can come up with is to check the rotation based on 360 degrees and assign a depth. That seems like a lot of ugly math though if you want to see what the swf looks like check here.

I have created a globe that rotates with no problem, but what I am trying to do is to control the direction of the rotation based on the mouse position. For example, if the mouse is to the right of the globe, it rotates towards the right and if the mouse in on the left, the globe rotates left. When the mouse is over the globe, it should stop.

I need to move a movieclip dynamically over a path. The movieclip has a front which should remain pointing to front when moving along the path. So I need an angle at which the movieclip should be rotated regularly. This is something similar to the motion guide we have in Flash.

I have gone through the tutorial on this site regarding random movement. But I need it to be kept in a frame. This is the code(from this site)
Code:
function getdistance(x, y, x1, y1) {
var run, rise;
run = x1-x;
rise = y1-y;
return (_root.hyp(run, rise));
} function hyp(a, b) {
[Code] .....
Lets say I make an physical border for the element. A "box" 200x100 and this box is centered. How do I keep my random moved element inside this "box" or frame you may call it.

I have a bunch of dots moving randomly on the screen. They are all copied and pasted versions of one MC with some script attached.Over the top of them is a giant invisible button. When I click the button (anywhere on thescreen) a VISIBLE button appears. When I click again (anywhere onthe screen) I want all the randomly moving dots to move towards the VISIBLE button.
