Flash :: Drag And Drop In As3 On Specific Path (ex Bezier Curve)?
Mar 23, 2010
I need to implement a drag and drop functionality, where I can define and constraint the route of the draggable object.[URL].. only that i have the paths designed and not calculated by a math function. So, in fact, as mouse moves I need to tell the object to follow the custom path/movieclip.
i have a bezier curve that is generated dynamically now i want to mask an image with it to produce a cut of face functionality just like in elfyourself.com or in jibjab.
First i want to say its my first post and i've been diging straight up gold from this site and i love it and everyone out there smart enough to give out solutions.So basically am writing a game and i have bezier curve that controls where an actor moves. Am using only 3 points (start, control1, end) and everything is fine.Now i want to create a bezier curve that passes through a certain point (r1) at t = 0.5 . The problem being that i have my start point, my end point and my point (r1) at t=0.5, and i need to find the control point.
I have series of Bezier curves that I want to revolve about an axis to form a solid model in Papervision3D.How would I do this? Has someone created a class for Papervision that can revolve a curve to form a solid?
Does anyone know a decent algorithm for drawing a anti-aliased (smooth) quadratic bezier curves in a raster? I could simply draw them as vectors and then copy the image to a raster..
Is there any clever yet freely available algorithm to draw the curve directly to the pixels? I am currently using the algorithm implemented here:[URL].. I am doing this for learning purposes and because I am hoping it would be faster than using the copy pixels from a Shape option. Here is an example showing the none-smooth bezier is faster than the regular bezier:[URL]..
Basically I need to have text from a dynamic/input textfield to appear in a wavy line pattern automatically. Now I'm pretty sure it can be done fairly easily with the right knowledge but I unfortunately lack that knowledge.
The idea I had was that a string is broken into individual letters and each is placed along a sine curve of a set length/width - the string/characters are repeated if necessary in order that the full width of the curve is covered. Also note that the text need not be rotated to match the lines, only _x and _y values need to be adjusted.
I have to produce a design with dynamic text similar to this (my ascii art skills are crap so please imaging that these are wavy lines rather than zig zags):
I was hoping someone could help me working out some advanced data reformatting. What I'm hoping for is a function where I can input a value along with an array of key positions like so:
function remap(percentage:Number, keypoints:Array) { ...
The array would start with the minimum and end with the maximum point, with nested key points along the way. For example, I would input something like remap(0.25, [0:0,80:50,100:100] ) and the function would 'imagine' a spline curve graph from (0,0)-(100,100) with a key point of (80,50), then return the y value that is 25% along that graph.
I am currently looking to see what the bounding are for the start drag method. And by the looks of it the bounding is set by passing the rect() object to the dragUpdater/ constructor. My question then is can you pass a custom drawn shape like a curve or what ever? By the looks of it you can not as specified by the adobe reference doc. startDrag()method public function startDrag(lockCenter:Boolean = false, bounds:Rectangle = null):void So from this I would conclude that to have a custom drag path one would have to create a custom class.
I'm trying to make a simulation where a person can drag 2 different objects to any 4 predefined targets on the stage. Based on the position of the 2 objects there will be a different output text. I hope I described that clearly. I would also like the 2 objects to snap to the 4 targets. Im very new to AS. Im starting to be able to read it a bit but still can not wright it.
I want to have an image and when I click on the image ,one can hold down the mouse and drag a copy to where ever on the stage and when one lets go, one can drag another and another with each copy still being able to be dragged after released.this is what i have but its pretty simple and doesn't work....
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,makeA Box); var i:Number = 1; //i will be the total number of boxes var newBox:myMC = new myMC();[code]....
Im trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:
I want to curve a dynamic text from a straight line to circular curve (using a slider). I have placed the characters of the string in each textfield created at runtime.
I have added drag and drop to some of my custom components.The drag event is fired on mouse down.If you mouse down and move the component around then drop it repeatedly its fine.But if you mousedown and drag the component around drop it and THEN just click on the component it inits the drag but doesn't fire the drop event.Its almost like you have to move the component for it to fire the drag drop event.This is very annoying as i'm removing the component on drag init and adding it again on drop, so just clicking on it makes it disappear.
im working on a website at the moment (just for fun) and are done with the layout and almost everything. Now I want to make one of the pictures so you can drag and drop it around on the site. The problem is that it does'nt work, i've tried out many different tutorials and codes without success. Sometimes i get the 1120 error and when not, nothing happens.
I want to imitate the iPhone scroll behavior in a Flash app I am developing. The idea is to enable drag-drop with a certain amount of inertia/deceleration (you know, when you drop something while your cursor is still moving and the thing would continue moving for a moment and then stop).
I need to be able to have a user drag multiple images from the locate file system onto the flash/flex/html5 app which will then taker the file name details and contact the server.Upon server response then upload the file ( assuming server validation passed ).I know this can be done in Java but that is not an option.Please do not suggest the FileReference.browse function as the retouchers are to stupid(no joke here) to use this and it has to be drag and drop.This has to work with all current versions of the popular browsers( hrome,FireFox,IE,Safari)What it comes down to is I want to put an image up on the web page stating drop here and allow them to upload the file(s) by dropping on it.
The users have to drag-n-drop the right answer onto the question.The question data is pulled out of a SQL db trough an .NET form (fscommand ("getquestions", "1") for question 1, etc.I can get 1 question to work on 1 keyframe, but when I want to reset the question & fill it with another one (for example question 2) I cannot seem to find anyway to reset the whole frame & dump new data into the variables.
Can We set drag & drop area in flash?for example, i want to drag a movie clip in the sample_mc, and i want to move only sample_mc's area, it doenst move out of sample mc.[code]
Is it possible to drag a file (on the desktop) onto a flash swf or exe file and have Flash open and know what that file is and possibly perform some action on that?Or hints as to where to begin to look for the actionscript functions for that if it might be possible?
Here's the code I'm using to drag an object and I wonder how could I make the movement to be "eased" when I release the mouse (MOUSE_UP) I've been thinking of using Caurina Tweener or Grant's Tweener?
