I'm trying to calculate the time it will take a movieclip in Flash to decelerate to zero. The starting speed will vary, but for purpose of example lets say[code]...

This may be a big ask, and I am just a beginner in coding - but can someone tell me what is wrong with this code? (it is fairly short. The intentions of this code is to make the predefined object hero to move with acceleration and to slowly decelerate over time.

I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying. Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play? This is the AS3 script I used...
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void { myPoster.visible = true;}
function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void { myPoster.visible = false;}
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void { myVideo.play();}

Is there any Tweening Library (like Tweener, gTween, TweenLite , ...) available that supports setting an inital speed for position tweening?
E.g. havin a Moviclip postion x=0, speed_x=10, target_x=-200, duration=2sec
it would 1st move to positive x direction, get slower, turn and move to position x=-200.
I have some code that works out a target speed based on how far right of the screen ur mouse is as follows:
Code:
if(this._xmouse > value1 && this._xmouse < value2){
//set targetSpeed depending on how much greater than value1 it is
targetSpeed = this._xmouse-value1;
}
Is there an elegant mathematical way to calculate the targetSpeed value so that - it increases as xmouse gets greater, until xmouse is at the value that is the midpoint of value1 and value2, from when on, targetSpeed decreases as _xmouse gets closer to value2. So if value1 = 500, and value2 = 600, then as xmouse goes over 500, targetSpeed will increase 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 - up to 50. then as xmouse goes over 550 targetSpeed will decrease until xmouse is at 600, by then targetSpeed will be back to 0.

How would you calculate or determine the mouse speed on the stage? What i am trying to do is this:
You have a custom cursor which shows a plus sign when you very suddenly and fast change the direction of the mouse to the right. When you do the same to the left, the cursor changes to the minus sign.
However, if you steadily move the mouse from left to right while the mouse cursor is showing the minus sign, the mouse cursor stays the same, only on very fast change of direction the cursor changes?

View 1 RepliesI'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?

View 2 RepliesI am reading midi files in as3 (flash cs5) with the help of the helpful library that is called midas [URL]- the midi-as3 library. I am trying to figure out a simple way to calculate the whole duration of the midi file (for example - total time of 4 minutes or 6 minutes...). I assume I could calculate the last note of each track + check the tempo and figure it out, but I was wondering if: Is the duration of the midi file is written somewhere in the data that I could just pull out and use?

I'm writing a card game in ActionScript 3. Each card is represented by an instance of a class extending movieclip exported from Flash CS4 that contains the card graphics and a flip animation. When I want to flip a card I call gotoAndPlay on this movieclip.When the frame rate slows down all animations take longer to finish. It seems Flash will by default animate movieclips in a way that makes sure all frames in the clip will be drawn. Therefor, when the program frame rate goes below the frame rate of the clip, the animation will be played at a slower pace.I would like to have an animation always play at the same speed and as a consequence always be shown on the screen for the same amount of time. If the frame rate is too slow to show all frames, frames are dropped. Is is possible to tell Flash to animate in this way?
View 3 RepliesI have an icon of a railway train which pulls into a station. At the moment it is a motion tween, and I have had to edit every few frames, modifying the train's position, so that it slows down as it enters the station.
This is messy, and time consuming. Is it possible for someone to give me guidance on how to slowly decelerate an object? The train is almost isometric, so doesn't actually move horizontally; but "south-westerly" across the landscape:

View 2 RepliesI have a progress bar as a healthbar in a game. The healthbar regenerates 10 pr millisecond for now because i like the smoothness. But if the delay increases it would take a lot longer to regenerate.
Aren't there any formular to calculate some kind of factor for this? so the lifebar would regenerate within a constant time no matter what. If the delay is 2 seconds it would just make the regen more choppy and if delay is 1 millisecond it would just update more.

I can't seem to find a way to get more than the initial set of 4 stage3Ds provided by flash. I have tried instantiating a new one using it's constructor and then adding it to the stage by simply pushing it to the list stage.stage3Ds.push(new Stage3D());
but this doesn't seem to be working as my eventListener for the Event.CONTEXT3D_CREATE is never called (it is if I use one of the default Stage3Ds. workaround or a way to accomplish this?
I want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.
