I'm trying to improve a simple AS3 slingshot that is available at [URL] so that i can make it more realistic. I already changed it so that is possible to aim the ball in any direction, but now I'm trying to create a function that constraints the maximum pull of the slingshot to an elliptical area, preferably having the same two points of the slingshot as the ellipse two focus:
[Code]...
What is the most efficient way to text for a collision between an elliptical object, and an irregularly shaped object (closely related to a line) that rotates?
View 6 RepliesIm developing a full browser flash website for a photographer and I should make the pictures really big. Now my problem is that when you see the website in a smaller resolution than the one im using, images get too big. What i need is a function that resizes the image box according to the stage size, but I dont know how to constraint the image proportions. For instance I would make something that would do imageMc._width=Stage.width*0.8 so I could have the image with 80% of the screen size.... but how to make it proportional with height?url...
View 2 Repliesi placed a fullscreen background image in my website but when i scale my browser window it also scales unproportionaly (or distorted).
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"
Stage.align = "TL";
bgTest._width = Stage.width
bgTest._height = Stage.height
[code]....
i have an image that follows my cursor when i click an 'on' button. But the image follows my cursor around the entire stage. What i want to do is have the image only follow my cursor when it is passed over a specific MC. So when the mouse is outside of the MC, it is a regular cursor, when it passed over the MC, it turns into the image without the cursor being visible.
View 7 Repliesuse Flex which has a great constraint based layout system architecture by default, but in Flash CS3 there is no built in way to do this. To create intelligently resizing layouts, you have to manually resize each element on a stage resize event. This can create obscene amounts of code really fast, especially if you start to work in simple arithmetic to avoid hard coding in positions, such as "stageWidth-obj.x-obj.width" etc.
Is there any code library to do this for you built in AS3? I basically want something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var layout = new Layout();
layout.header_mc = 'left|right|top';
layout.left_mc = 'left|top|bottom';

I have an original flash site that has a preloader mc and it functions 100%.
[code]...
I take this preloader and dump it into a new site and it doesn't work... Now this new site is actually much larger than the original site and the swf for it is close to 2 MB.Is there a size constraint that makes using preloaders inefficient?I've tried making the preloader in another scene and still no go, maybe I should try the preloader and load the site with AS for loading an external swf? I've read a few post from the forum and I'm not sure I understand 'how' to get the preloader to match the % bytes of the externally loading swf...
I am getting the following two errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constraint: GetSet.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method GetSet.
I believe if 1046 is solved, 1180 will no longer be a problem. Here are the codes:

Code:
var myGetSet: GetSet = new GetSet();
myGetSet.publicAccess = "hello";
trace(myGetSet.publicAccess);

Both these files are in the same folder. I dont understand why I am getting this error as the class 'GetSet' already exists.

Flash is not in my toolset, but I am an old Director jock and have spent some hours dipping my head into the Flash manual. I suppose that makes me a promising beginner-level poster. I'm working in CS5.
I need to make a simple Flash-based sound player for a website for a newly-released novel (http://www.bearriverbooks.com/index.html). I want the user to click on what appears to be an icon (or image), which kicks open a simple controller and starts playing a sound file (a radio interview, which I will probably export using Flash's voice compression). Nothing fancy. Just want the visitor to hear the sound and be able to apply simple controls (stop/start/rewind/volume).
I can learn ActionScript, I suppose, since I used to dream in Lingo, but my life would be a lot simpler if I could just publish a controller without having to roll my own. I'd like to think there's a magic button somewhere that can do this, but I haven't found it yet.
I've finished my flash file. I created it with Flash CS3. I didn't use any scripting, dynamic stuff, etc.. It's a simple flash movie of vectors/tweening.I want to insert it in my homepage, but when I publish it, I get quite a lot of code. I've been looking around & I see some sites that have all this javascript & some that don't.Could someone help me identify the correct way to embed my .swf file? I'm not a fan of .js since it doesn't work if it's turned off in a user's browser. I want my .swf file to play as long as the visitor has Flash 8 or higher installed. And if they don't, I want to display a .png instead.[code]

I am having trouble getting a simple animation to play properly, on a site designed by someone else, in IE. It works fine in Mozilla and Safari. In IE, on some computers, it shows up but there is a prompt about downloading a Shockwave add-on. On other computers it doesnt show up at all. Going from Mac to PC is also presenting problems. I'm freelance, so it's not like I'm in the office with these other people, so I only know what's going on with the 3 pc's I have at my disposal; which is as described above.

Then, I add in the code of going to keyframe 4 when released (which works fine). But when I test it out and mouse over the button, I can still select the text which gives me like barely any space where I can click the button to go to keyframe 4. This is reeaaallly annoying me. How can I fix this?

I'm thinking about setting up a website (based on WordPress) to host video tutorials on interpreting CT scans.
In addition to simply letting the visitor view PowerPoint presentation videos, I'm keen on writing some sort of simple app that I can embed in the blog to allow the visitor to scroll through a series of images (i.e. a scan).
I usually code in REALbasic or Objective-C. What are my language options for making an interactive embeddable image viewer in a blog? The website needs to be able to be viewed on an iPad as well as normal desktop browsers.
