how to make a counter clockwise circle using Senocular's Path class?
For example, if I start a half-circle on the left (9 o'clock) it will go to 6 o'clock then 3 o'clock. Right now it goes for 9 o'clock to 12 then 3.
Works great clockwise... but I can't get it to draw in the other direction. I tried messing with the math inside the class and it exploded!
Here is a link to his source file: [URL]
I'm writing a class for an instrment and one of the knobs has "snapping" values at X degrees.I have the code to make the knob snap to the set degrees,but I'm having trouble getting it to determine whether it was rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise.Here is the function that makes it rotate and "snap" The majority of the problem is because of the 0/360 and negative values that Flash has when it rotates..
In the function:
the _baseMovieClip is the clip that contains a graphic to rotate and "snap" to the degrees.
the _clipToRotate is a movie clip that actually displays the rotation
the _startAngle is the angle the user clicked on the button that triggers rotation
the _rotateObj is a sprite that is drawn when they click that I make visible to show the actual rotation when I'm debugging
the _snapLock is the degrees the knob shold rotate to (10, 15, 30, etc)

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

View 7 RepliesI am sure this is simple, but cannot remember how it is done. I just need to rotate an item counter clockwise 1/2 a time. The rotate option only accepts integers and when I do a motion tween it goes clockwise.
View 1 RepliesOk, here is my problem, hard to explain tho, but i will do my best.I would like a circle picture to dissappear (or appear) with like a clockwise motion. So basically from twelve oclock i want the circle picture start going away clockwise until it comes to twelve again and the picture would be all gone by then.
View 5 RepliesI'm working with Senocular's Path.as file and I notice that the points that it outputs on curves are not very accurate. [URL] The code has a variable for curve accuracy in there and I have tried changing it but if I set it to 1 or to 500 it doesn't effect the placement of objects on the curve.
Basically what I am doing is putting beads on a necklace and pushing them through a curve. Kinda like in the game Zuma. However when I set the positions of the beads to go up incrementally there seems to be a slight burst of speed on the curves, that speeds up at the ends and slows in the middle a little. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on how to make the curves more accurate with this script? It is a hell of a good script by the way I'm sure I'm just stupid and not seeing something.
I have a movieclip called view_mc and a button btn_rotate.
I want when the user click and drag btn_rotate button, he can rotate the view_mc movieclip clockwise and anti-clockwise.
I have written a code, but it only rotates the movieclip in clockwise direction:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, on_stage_down);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, on_stage_up);
function on_stage_down(e:MouseEvent):void

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 1 RepliesI've been using Senocular's free transform tool: [URL] in tandem with an image upload (using the fileReference class) so that users can upload an image and the transform it.
The free transform class has a function that allows you to restrict the scaling of the movieClip that you apply the free transform to, but it works on a 'scale' rather than specific height and width properties. My problem is, that I don't know what he dimensions of each uploaded image will be, so if it's restricted to a scale, some images will be allowed to be bigger than others....

I want to place dynamic text, enteed by user, on an arc of a circle. I have written a code for it but not able to get exactly what i want.

View 1 RepliesI try to animate a Movieclip (box or circle) thru a half ellipse path. Circle or ellipse path will be random.
View 1 RepliesI have a circle: Width 530 and height 800. I want an object to follow this circle using a motion path, but you cant do that in pure actionscript, so I tried rotating the circle with the object attached, but warping the circle at the same time... so width becomes 530 and height becomes 800... but because the circle has rotated at the same time, it looks like it hasn't moved - except for the object attached.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var Tween1:Tween = new Tween(circle,"width",None.easeNone,800,530,2,true);
var Tween2:Tween = new Tween(circle,"height",None.easeNone,530,800,2,true);
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(circle,"rotation",None.easeNone,0,180,2,true);
This was the closest... but it still dances around the page before anything happens.... and it isn't reading the sizes properly? 530 isn't 530, but something bigger, and 800 is actually smaller?
got a question about this class.it says:
Usage:
* var key:KeyObject = new KeyObject(stage);
* if (key.isDown(key.LEFT)) { ... }

I'm aware this sounds quite involved, but would it be possible to make a Flash button counter that would store the number of clicks (that it displays) on a remote server; so even if the page was closed and re-opened it would still show "2" or "11" for example. In addition to that, would it be possible to only allow one click per IP address? So for example, one specific IP address (user) couldn't keep clicking it over and over and increasing the number.
The reason I wanted to use a Flash object as opposed to something like jQuery was because I want to embed it on a forum that isn't mine. Obviously I don't have access to the site's files/modules etc. Essentially it's almost like the Facebook "like button." It displays the number of likes, as well is storing the value on a remote server.

Is there a ready Component on the web.
I am trying to learn working with multiple classes in AS3. I came across a problem which I can not solve or look up. I have searched the documentation but I can not find a clear sollution or answer.I have flashfile with a document class (main class). Within this class I use another class (circle class) to get a instance of a movieclip on the stage.
Now my problem is that I can not place the eventlisteners to the circle class. normally I would write something like this. addEventListener() but this doesnt work. But I really need a way to get this to work, because I want to make a mouse click event which must be linked to the circle to respond to it.

I have attached a file with a senocular springy menu that i have been playing around with. One thing i would like to know how to do is - towards the bottom of the script on _root, a comment says: // for unique content in item clips, attach those / movie clips to the item clip here i have tried many ways to make different content in each menu item, but to no avail (my knowledge of actionscript is not that great). What i would most like to do is have different text on each item and a different onRelease action for each one.
View 6 RepliesI need to have a custom mouse cursor and also have dragable object on my page. im using flash 8. I came across this site called senocular which had a list of .as files [URL]
and some simple useage such as:
on(press){
this.beginDrag(true,0,0,300,300); // constrained to 300x300 square
}
on(release, releaseOutside){
this.endDrag();
}
I would love to get this to work, however I dont know how to import this into flash 8. I thought classes only worked for flash 9 and actionscript 2.
I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.
