i have an circle shape, and what i would like to achieve is that it gets masked and thenon enter frame it zhould get unmasked like a clock, so you get to see from 0 to 1, then from 0 to 2, 0 to 3, etc, i know it has to be done with radiants etc but math isnt really my cup of tea.
View 1 RepliesI have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;
function clockHandler(e:Event)

I do know how to use the oval / rectangle and oval / rectangle primitive tools in the tool bar and find them quite useful, but one thing I find confusing is. A oval / rectangle primitive object can be edited later but the oval / rectangle can't. So the point is,how do we use them properly ? when to use ? Why does Adobe Flash still keep the oval / rectangle tool in their product instead of removing them with the oval / rectangle primitive tool ?
View 2 Repliescan you tell me if it is possible to detect if an object is rotating anti clockwise or not? at present i get x,y co-ords and use the code below to rotate it which is fine. now i could write an if statement to check if rotation is negative or positive but because rotation can be negative and positive when rotating clockwise and anti clockwise this wouldnt work.

Is there a way to tween the oval primitive from within flash? I would like to do a tween where I move the start angle, but I can't seem to be able to tween the oval. Is this possible?
View 1 RepliesI am looking at the Kirupa code for random movement (Random movement in Flash MX), and I am trying to figure out if I can limit the movement to the shape of an oval.
I want to do an overhead shot of a bunch of little people swiming in an oval swimming pool.
I'm using Flash CS5's common library to put some buttons on the stage. I've gone into the classic buttons folder and dragged and dropped a blue oval button onto the stage, and it appears in the library, but the button looks totally different to the one in the library. Where the one in the library has shading and a glow effect, the one on stage looks flat, with just a primary colour and no shading or glow. This occurs whether I drag straight from the common library tab to the stage, or from the library panel on the right to the stage.
View 2 RepliesJust a quick question today, is there any way to quickly and simply fit a string of text into a circular shape? Almost as if the text field was circular instead of rectangular. I have been working on a game where the text is presented in a series of speech bubble shapes, and previously I've had to manually insert " " around the text to get it to fit. This was a bit of a hassle but overall not too much extra work. Now, however, the game has been translated into 14 different languages and I sure as hell am not going through all that text to sort it out again haha
If there's no quick and easy way to do it (I don't really want to go down the route of using a loop to search for the last space in the first X characters and inserting a new line, etc) I'm just going to contact the artist and ask him to make the speech bubbles rectangular lol I did a google search to see if I could find anything but most of the stuff I found either wasn't relevant or said "there isn't an easy way to do it yet" but I just wanted to check here first.
How can i fit text inside Circular or Oval boundaries (not rectangular boundary)?
View 1 RepliesI have an array of items, and would like to position them from left to right, along the under part of an oval path, and space them evenly. (with actionscript).So, going from 180 degrees from the left, and ending up at 0 degrees on the right, while also increasing the y form 0 to 70, and then back to 0. The oval having a width of 1000px, and a height 0f 140px.
A) I have had a hard time getting the correct angle to start at (I figured it would be 180, because Flash's coordinate system is backwards).
B) How do I divide the space between the start angle and end angle evenly with the length of the arrray? It should be decreasing the angle to get back to 0, no?I have been using this structure:
Code: Select allvar angle:Number = 0;
var centerX:Number = 500;
var centerY:Number = 0;
var radiusX:Number = 500;

I've come to a sudden halt over the last few days with some basics.I will use a simply example to describe my query.3 movieclips, a square, circle and oval, drawn in Flash, dragged to the stage and given instance names of square, circle and oval! The square and circle sit on the main timeline, the oval movieclip sits within the circle movieclip. How can I alter the .alpha property of the square from within the oval?Each movieclip has its own class .as file (and linked to the instance on stage) but I have not been able to generate a path in the ovals AS3 class script to access outside it and up to the square on the main timeline to change the squares .alpha property.

For an upcoming project the client wants an animated "Sun Clock" that shows the areas of the world map that are currently day/night. The Sun Clock changes continuously throughout the day to match the movement of the sun. I've attached an image of a Sun Clock as reference.
I'm really not sure where to start with this. I've found an example of a functional Sun Clock using Yahoo Widgets, but that's a bit different because I need to embed the Sun Clock on a web page.

I am trying to create a dice that doubles up as a 60 second timer that counts from 60 to 0. I have managed to create the timer with some actionscript and a single frame swf, one layer for the AS 3 and one for the dynamic text box. I have also create a die from four 60*60 squares that animates 90 degree's so it looks as if it is rolling.
My issue is, how do I bring these together? As the clock/timer is dynamic textbox it can't be animated around 3D space, so it needs to be converted into a movie clip (to the best of my knowledge). when I do this, the actionscript no longer works as it's no longer having to update the text attribute of a textfield, but the contents of a movieclip.Next, I tried to import the timer.swf (clock) and dice.swf with the Loader class and loaded each of them into a movieclip, then layered them. This ALMOST works, however unlike the text in timer.swf, the text in this instance is not refreshed and simply writes the updated value over the previous value.Here is what I've ended up with:
AS 3 code:
<code>
var dice:Loader = new Loader();
