Way to take a piece of text and make it go around the edge of a line that is warped? (specifically, circular, but I'm sure once it's following the line, the shape is not relevant). I can't find a good resource for how to do this. I assume I'll need to create separate movie clips for each character and then rotate, and position, but I'm having a hard time finding a resource for how to do this.

View 12 RepliesI'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

I'm developing a game atm, and I need some help on the mathematics/coding of colliding circles (and their change in x/y speed). What i need to know is how to calculate the direction and speed a circle has after colliding with a static (non-moving) circle. I know how to detect a collision between the two, but I'm not sure about the maths I need to give the circle the right speed and direction after the collision
If i do know how far away the two circle-points (in the middle of each) are to each other (in both x and y coords) would it be easy for me to find the new speed and direction of the large circle in the example above? I know that I somehow should use the angles to pretend the circle hits a flat "wall" (as it only hits one point), and then calculate the new speed/direction. My only problem is that I'm not sure how to decide the angle of this flat "wall" and how x and y speeds should change when colliding with a wall that is angled. Does anyone here have any insight, links or tips on how I can du this?
i want to make one circle follow the mouse cursor, inside another circle. Similar to an eye looking at the cursor. Ive attached an example.

View 6 RepliesI`m working on a app that you can draw lines.....like circles, rectangles... my problem is when a user draw a circle for example....i wanna be able to paint (change color) inside of this circle. I`ve tried working on Shapes with cacheAsBitmap = true and Bitmaps with BitmapData but it doesn`t seens to work.

View 0 RepliesTrying to do circle circle collisions via math which I'm really having trouble with. One circle (player) just moves from keyboard. The ball reacts to the player. All the code shown is in my players class and I passed in a reference to the ball.
On my enterframe I have:
Code:
var xmov1 = xSpeed;
var ymov1 = ySpeed;
var xmov2 = ballRef.xSpeed;
var ymov2 = ballRef.ySpeed;

Perhaps I'll go with a box2d equivalent instead of trying out my own physics shenanigans.

View 3 RepliesI just got Flash CS4 yesterday. This is the first time I have ever used Flash. I watched some tutorials and now I'm trying to do something on my own. I want some text against a white background to start out white in the lower-left corner. During the animation I want the text to move to the upper-right corner and turn black gradually as it goes. What I did was this:
created an actionscript 3 file
Made some white text at the bottom-left
Right clicked at the 90th frame on the timeline and clickedInsert KeyFrame
Right clicked between the 1st and 90th frames and clicked Create Classic Tween.
At the 90th frame I moved the text to the upper right. Then I clicked on proprties and set the text effect to brightness and set the brightness to 0 so the text would be black.When I hit enter to go through the timeline it shows me exactly what I expected: The text moves from lower left to upper right and gets darker as it goes.
When I hit Ctrl+Enter to preview it as a published movie the text stays white the whole time until it gets to the upper right. There it turms black. So all I see is nothing for a few seconds and then a flash of the black text.Also, if I click at each frame in the timeline I can see the text is in a different place and getting brighter gradually.I'd like it to play once rather than looping. Under the effects I clicked on a thing that says play once but it still loops. Where do you control this?
i have a graffiti-looking font that is "outlined", that i need to somehow use actionscript to turn the text into fills, then fill in the middle of each character to make solid letters.
is it even possible to use AS to convert text to fills?
even if i need to use bitmapData somehow, is it possible to do what i'm trying to do?

View 7 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 2 RepliesI have a simple three ring animation where the three rings fade in and out.On the stage the rings are a perfect circle, in the publish preview they look fine, but once I publish the SWF, all of the sudden the rings are not perfectly round anymore.
They are almost perfect but right at the top and bottom there is just a small portion which has sort of "flattened out"...
I bought a Flash video tutorial online for Animating and the FIRST step is to create a circle with the circle tool, and the guy does it online, and it fills itself in. I repeat his actions exactly and I cannot get the same result at all. I just get a circle.
View 5 RepliesI have two MC's, circular in shape. One of the circles is stationary and you can drag the other. I'm trying to get the moveable circle to be able to move around the circumference of the stationary circle, but not overlap. I'm able to detect when they overlap, not using hittest. I just can't figure out how to code it so that the draggable circle can't be moved over the stationary circle.

View 1 RepliesI basically have this and what I need to do, is when the user clicks on one of those boxes on the right, it'll appear in the yellow box on the left.
Each of those right boxes will be unique with different graphics. It'll basically be different graphics to be displayed on a T-shirt, which will be represented by the big black square.
Now I know that each of those graphics should be a button symbol with mouse click event, but I'm not really sure how to handle the event.
Should I just create a clone of that item and move it to the target area? Or is it possible to create some kind of blank placeholder where I could just display it?
