As in the figure i have three lines out of which line1 and line2 are fixed. line3 is derived from line1 based on some angle say 70.I try to rotate the line3 but it deviate from the point x1 and x2. I try the code like this

I have a project on the go which has a compass that I would like to have move randomly around a fixed central point (giving the idea of changing direction).Would anyone be able to help me out with the coding to get this to work?
View 1 RepliesOne of the strangest things I've EVER seen with any software. I teach Animation at a high school. I had my students do the following, using Flash CS4, on Windows XP SP3, with Flash 10 installed. All software latest as of April 2010.

i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )
Is it possible that I can have a fixed 3d rotation center for a movieclip.So if I have two movieclips spaced apart and I have rotated them, they rotate in their own axis rather than based on a single axis.
View 6 RepliesI am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.
View 1 RepliesHow can I move a point (or circle) slowly and the point let behind a line.When the point turn back the line will be erase.
View 8 RepliesI 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?
View 5 RepliesThis is one of the threads that was deleted. I've come up with the same problem: how do you go about dragging an object around a fixed point (rotation)?
I can do a normal drag & drop, but with this i don't even know where to start
i wanna do the shape tween or should i say tween a line...one end of the line should stay still while the other should expand and contract moving on a designated path..so its not just an shape tween where line will expand..i want the moving end to go along some path.
View 14 RepliesLets say I have two objects, and I want to use action script to draw a line connecting them, which will update automatically as they are moved/ dragged.Can anyone show me how to do that, and also how to control line's parameters like colour, weight etc?

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to have a line chart with a fixed y-axis. that is, I have values that are mostly between 30 and 70, but I'd like to have the chart y-axis as a constant between 0 and 100 so it wouldn't resize as new values are coming in (if they happen to be larger than previous values).
View 2 RepliesI am developing a white board application which allows the user to draw line with arrow head (some like Microsoft Word line with arrow feature). I am using graphics property along with lineTo() method to draw a line. Now i have to draw a angular arrow on the last point of line. I am drawing the arrow by connecting the points around last points. As 360 line can pass through this point and each line can have a different angle of arrow.

Im using mxmlc to compile as3 on ubuntu linux. I've donwloaded flex4_b2_100509, just to use the most recent stuff...so Im typing 'mxmlc file.as' but it just hangs on me... it doesnt return anything. I checked running processes ('ps -e') and its showing both mxmlc and java as running, which tells me the compiler started. after a while the shell reports a 'segmentation fault'l.

I'm creating an ActionScript-based flash file that only needs the screen to be updated in response to something happening behind the scenes. As such, I don't need it to run with a fixed frame-rate. Instead I just want to tell it to lay dormant until I explicitly tell it the screen needs to update.However, I don't see any way to do that. Can that be done? (i.e. set the framerate to zero and manually force an update based on some user-defined event?)For example's sake, if you can provide an example that just kicks off the update based on a simple timer,
View 2 RepliesFlash knows where the anchor point is in 3D space in order for the symbol to rotate around it, but I can't seem to figure out how to see the coordinates of the anchor point or type in new ones. Please tell me how to do this. I am already very annoyed that Lynda, a pay service, doesn't think this is vital information. Apparently they think we would never want to do anything more visually stimulating than one simple spinning logo! But I digress...
Just to be clear, I know how to move the anchor point visually on the stage, but I want accuracy. I want to be able to give two symbols the exact same coordinates to rotate around.

View 9 RepliesI have encountered a need to build what amount to classic boardgame spinner.
1. When you click on the spinner it spins clockwise
2. There are several places where it can stop.
When the user clicks the spinner I run a method to determine where (what target) it should stop on.
How can I make the spinner spin a few times, decrease in speed (ease) then stop at a certain angle?
i'm working on a flash game at the moment, and i would like to know if i am able to set the point that the movieclip rotates around using actionscript.
i don't want to do it by simply moving all of the contents of the movieclip closer or nearer. is there any other way of doing it? i couldn't find any simple functions for it. am i just going to have to use some complicated maths?
[edit] rotation point, aka, registration point.[/edit]
I am making a 'simple' template builder in flash which allows the user to add/remove text boxes and images to the stage.
I can rotate any of the movieClips fine but it rotates from the top left and i want it to rotate from midpoint. Is there a way to set the midpoint/rotation point using actionscript?
I have the following problem. I have an MovieClip in a holder MC. I would like to turn the inner MC X with 'rotation' parameter, and still keep it in the holder mc to the right and bottom of the holder MC reference point. So after turning it should look like thatanyone can tell me how to do that? Basically a function that takes any X rotated in any degrees through X.rotation = ... and puts it back in place in the holder MC.
View 3 RepliesHas anyone got a bit of code I can use to change the center point DisplayObjects rotate around in a 3D space? I need it to work with rotationX, rotationY and rotationZ. I know theres a workaround of wrapping every object in aother sprite and offsetting the x & y positions but I'd much prefer a math solution. As an example of the problem, this code should make a star shape:

I'm attempting to write a racing game. I've loaded in my image, I brought it to the stage and now, all I want to do is rotate it from its' center and not upper left corner.
The code:
racer.rotation += 5;
rotates from the upper left corner. How do I rotate from the center of the car/sprite? I've tried putting it into a container but I'm unsure on the coordinates of the container because I tried to set the x,y coordinates to half the sprite image but y'know, it's not doing what I expect it to.
ActionScript Code:
if (arrowLeft) {
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();

I will never sneer at another racing game! I didn't think it would be this hard to do a simple rotate of an image!
