Flash :: Math Equations For Random Snow In A Snow Globe?
Oct 24, 2010
I've been experimenting with this and I haven't been able to come up with an adequate solution. Hoping one of you Mathletes can point me in the right direction. I'm building a Snow Globe in ActionScript 3 and I need to come up with a set of equations to control two level of snowflakes - one level random, and the other interactive where a user can click on them.For the random snow, I need to have it create certain number of random x/y positions at the bottom of the globe, which is a circle with a radius of around 300. Then when the shake action occurs, They should randomly float toward the top, then fall back to a random position at the bottom of the circle again.
For the interactive snow, I need it to randomly layout, but I don't want flakes to overlap so that its easier to interact with them.

I've made a particle system snow globe and right now I have snow blowing across the stage, but I want to have the snow blow around only within the snow globe which is placed in the middle of the stage. I made a movie clip (area_mc) that I want to use as the boundary for where the particles can float.

I created bubbles using the snow 3.0 tutorial from here at kirupa. I slightly altered the code so it would be for bubbles on a canvas of 800x500.The problem with the tutorial is that it is for snow moving downward on the y axis. for bubbles in the water, I need them going upward.which part of the code I need to alter so the bubbles will move up and not down? Also, I need the life of the bubble to last the length of the canvas.
Code:
init = function () {
width = 800;
// pixels[code]........

at the end of the scene I want the snow to stop falling. I can't work out how to end this script. I want to reuse the snow later, but I have a scene set inside next.How do I start/finish this script?

Got the particle snowfall going fine, but the wind factor - which changes the ._x according to the slider's value - pretty much ruins the initial random() effect of the snowfall. [When taken to a high or low wind factor, then back to 0%, the particles get stringy-looking and too regular.]Tried tweaking the wind variable with a bit of randomness [// in the code] - which solved the above problem, but now the harsher snowfall is a bit too 'wiggly'. How can I maintain the randomness of a soft snowfall without screwing up the wind effect?

This question relates to the Falling Snow tutorial on this site...
How can I get the snow fall to randomly change every time the person sees the animation so, for example, you'll see falling snow right now, yet the next time you visit the site you'll see falling cars, or falling mobile phones.

i am experiencing a strange and unpleasant situation.I am using CS3 and upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 last night, along downloading the latest Flash Player for browsers.
Problem is that now all of my text block arent displaying the same line height that before i updated?????
I compared the same exact SWF made under Tiger and those made under Snow Leopard and the two arent identical, lines are misaligned regarding line height!

I did the excellent tutorial on Falling Snow for Flash CS4/AS3 on this website.I now want to add further graphics and animations to the snow for an e-card I'm creating.I have tried to add to the timeline and animate a logo, but then the snow just flashes on and off in one piece. Is there a way I can make the snow fall, say, halfway through my animation so I can add other things to it?

I hate to start a new thread but I didn't see one pertaining to this issue. I hope I am not alone. I recently bought a new iMac and it came with Snow Leopard OS. I ported over my Web Premium Creative Suite and all of my applications work great except for Flash CS4. I open the app to the intro screen but as soon as I try to open an existing project file or even to create a new project file, the app crashes immediately. I tried calling Adobe Support but they only turn me away, saying I need to purchase a $175 Support Plan for help. I just want my Flash to open. The same app works fine on my Macbook Pro (running Leopard). It seems adobe should be willing to help seeing as how the specifications say it is supposed to be compatible with Snow Leopard.Anyway, I have tried installing all updates and Deactivating/Uninstalling and Reinstalling.

I am trying to figure out how to pause or stop the snow in Kirupa's Snow 3.0 tutorial. There is already a thread with the same question answered for the Snow 2.0 tutorial, but I can't seem to get that to work properly. How can I achieve this on Snow 3.0?

I've just switched over to Mac OS 10.6 and found that the line spacing has changed in my files. Basically it seems to have increased the line spacing so the static text fields take up more space. I've updated Flash and I'm now on 10.6.1 but the problem remains. It doesn't do this on 10.5.8 or in InDesign and SL (but it does do a similar thing in Quark 7.5). It doesn't seem to matter what font it is either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

We have noticed Fonts shift down in our layouts. Our files are very messed up. One particular font that is doing this is TheMix. Anyone else have this happening? The same file opens and displays just fine under Leopard.

I made a flash movie with snow falling from the sky in Flash 8 (actionscript 2.0). However, the snow I made differs from the original. The original is here: [URL]. I put mine here: [URL]. You will notice that my snow only falls downward: there is no randomness for the flakes to go left or right. There is no movement. Where in the script below can I change that so that there's more movement for the flakes?
I use the following script for the snow itself:
onClipEvent (load) {
//specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 300;
movieHeight = 200;
//variables that will modify the falling snow
[Code] .....
And on the first frame of my movie I put the following:
for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}

I have a couple of Flash projects that were originally built in CS3. Last year I upgraded them to CS5 without trouble. Recently I have upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, and when I open both of these FLA files in CS5 on Snow Leopard, some of the fonts are insanely distorted.

I'm trying to use the snow sample supplied in the tutorials. In addition to altering width and height, I need to be able to place it...Essentially what the final outcome is to put snow in a globe.Is there a way to change placement in x and y? I only see overall movie size. Also, is there a way to mask it? and the kicker to all this is that I have a deadline of today,

I'm using a new Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. We have Adobe MC CS5.I'm experiencing serious problems with Flash CS5. The program locks up at "Initializing Tools" for several minutes at start up. Once the program opens it will crash if I try to create a blank document. Other Adobe programs work fine.Flash CS4 worked fine on this computer.Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried uninstalling and deleting all adobe documents from the configuration folders. It just seems like this machine is cursed or something.

We have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: [URL]
We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.
