Flash :: Rotating Object To Face Another Object?
Jun 28, 2011
currently i have a function in which my object fish will move to a food i am having trouble getting it to rotate nicely to the food currently my function is as below.if the food is above the fish my fish rotation is 0 which is facing up, if the food is below my fish i will give it a rotation of 180 which will make it face down , however the rotation is too sudden it does not give a nice and realistic effect of rotating to the food.how can i make it when rotating to move some distance and at the same time rotate? because it cant rotate to the food in the same spot as it would not be realistic.
public function moveToFood():void
{
var foodTarget:Food = fishArray[fishArray.length - 1];

i am currently having trouble with my object rotating to face another object.currently it works fine as in this picture, my object at the origin will be able to rotate and move to the object in the 3 quadrants except the quadrant with positive 90degrees to 180 degrees, my object will rotate a few full rotation for some time while moving to the object does anyone know why? the sentence that i use to rotate is rotation += (foodLocationDegrees - (rotation - 90)) * .2; whereby food is calculated using

How to stretch the dynamic picture so it can fit the mapping ? Match the eyes with the eyes, the nose with the (UV map) nose,... and draw the new bitmap

I've created 4 cubes, which turn on Rollover and Rollout, and on Click they should move to new x y coordinates.The Rollover and out on the faces (workfront,workback) work fine, but i don't get it right to put the Click on the whole cube.if tried to address it with workcube.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, workclick); but that doesn't work.if i address it with this or without workcube all my cubes react to the click
Code: Select allvar workcube:Cube = new Cube(new MaterialsList({front:mat2, back:mat3, top:mat0, bottom:mat0, left:mat1, right:mat1}), 60,60,60,10,10,10);
scene.addChild(workcube);

I have one sprite that I can rotate freely, and a second one that rotates based on the first. So, for example, Sprite A is rotated from 0 degrees to 70 degrees. I want Sprite B to gradually adjust its rotation to match A's using the shortest path. (Rotate clockwise 70 degrees, rather than rotating CCW 290 degrees.) I'm intending for it to re-calculate the shortest direction on the fly, so using the previous example, if Sprite A was 70 degrees, and B was rotating toward 70 and currently at 50 degrees, and I suddenly rotated A to -20 degrees, B would switch directions rather than take "the long way." (This part I should be able to figure out on my own once I understand the basic method, I'm just including it to make sure my intentions are clear.)

is it possible to rotate an object so that it always faces another object that is able to move around the screen? as in track it on the y and x axis?

Im in my final year of year 12 and need to have a car rotate in flash by either mouse movement or dragging by the user. Ive tried googling and being lower then noob level on adobe flash I have no idea about anything. I have created a car model in 3ds max. It is of high detail and I wanted to keep it that way. An example of what I wanted to create would be [URL]

All I need to do is rotate an object (which could spawn at any point along each of the four edges of the screen) so that it faces towards the centre of the screen. Obviously this will be done using the .rotationZ property. I will know the starting point of the object, and the centre point of the screen (400, 300). The object begins facing directly 'up' (e.g. if it spawned directly below the centre of the screen it would already be at the correct angle).

I am working in AS2 and I have a flash project that is almost complete but I would like 1 thing modified.I have a fish image following my mouse.
(script below)
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.yChange = Math.round(_root._ymouse-this._y);[code]...........
The problem is that I would like the fish image to "turn" and face the direction of the mouse. Currently, as is, the fish follows the mouse fine when the mouse is moving to the right, but when it goes to the left the fish swims backwards rather than turns and swims the correct way following the mouse to the left.How would I modify the script to get the fish to turn and always swim forward when going left and right?

I'm a beginner at this, so this may sound like a dumb question, but I don't have the time to figure it out on my own.I'm trying to get a group of symbols to remain in the configuration that they are in, but rotate around a fixed point, and actually make them move in this circular path instead of a straight line.

im having trouble getting this rotation function down pat. i have a turret that should be rotating towards another moving object. it should find the shortest direction to rotate. basically what ive done is converted action script rotation from using -1 -> -179 to 180 -> 359. but now im having issues when the object it is tracking passes over the zero degree point. the turrent then rotates around the other way. here is the code. my mind is getting a little boggled. it is being passed the x difference between the objects, and the y difference

Ok so I'm a noob when it comes to Flash so this may be really simple but then again it could be extremely difficult I don't know. I need to create a Flash document that contains an object that can be rotated 360 degrees using a scroller using pictures of the object probably in jpeg format.

I need to get a certain object to rotate by set degrees (my navigation for this project is organized on a wheel--6 sections on the wheel), and I would like to have buttons that tell this object to smoothly rotate by set degrees (intervals of 60 degrees in this case).
What I have in mind are 5 buttons that control the rotation:
1. 120 deg. ClockWise
2. 60 CW
3. 60 CCW
4. 120 CCW
5. 180 CCW

I wrote some code for the thing I was working on, yet the problem is that when you grab the wheel and spin it again, I want it to stay in the same position and rotate instead of reseting.
(The holes are markers)
I don't mind if you just want to upload it. But if you do, follow my method (I don't know, say for example using masks or something), and just add new variables if needed.

On the web there's a bunch of tutorial on how to rotate an object around a point ,or a stage axis..But how do we rotate this object around its own axis?

I want to rotate an object using the arrows on the keyboard when the mouse is over the object and it should not be possible to rotate the object when the mouse is not on the object. I know how to rotate the object, when the mouse is over the object, but when I put the mouse outside the object I can still rotate the object. How do I make the rotation stop?

I am trying to make an object smoothly rotate towards the mouse.
ActionScript Code:
var rot:Number = 0;
var smoothing:int = 5;
stage.addEventListener("enterFrame", step);
function step(e:Event):void {
// point_direction is a function I have created that finds the angle between 2 points. I know this functions works as it is supposed to
rot = point_direction(obj.x, obj.y, mouseX, mouseY);
obj.rotation += (rot - obj.rotation) / smoothing;
}
This code works, except when I pass the mouse over the center of the object on the left side it seems to spin the long way around. So if I move the mouse down the center of the object on it's left side, it will spin a long way counter-clockwise to reach the mouse instead of the tiny length if it had spun clockwise.

scale = (random(100)+50);
this._alpha = random(50)+20;

I'm using the mc_tween2.as tween class and the slideTo method for moving objects around on the screen.
What I'm trying to do is to have the objects rotate "x" degrees when clicked. Right now, they move, let's say, 20px across the x-axis. But I want it to move 20px while rotating 15 degress clockwise. Is that possible using this method?
I know there's a way to rotate objects using the _rotation feature, but that doesn't move it using any tweens; it just "snaps" it into place. I'm looking to rotate the object using a tween, while sliding sliding around using the slideTo method.

Given up on the other thread, others tell me its gonna be quite a bit of hassle!What I want to do is as follows; I want a vinyl record on the stage to begin slowly rotating, until it hits full speed, on a mouse click. All automatic.I imagine this will involve adding a speed number to a basic rotation script. When it hits a certain speed, I want an event to be triggered.

I'm trying to project "collision" points on a car for a racing game I'm making, similar to this image:
The car's registration point is the bottom center, so the bottom point is easy to place. It's also easy to get the top point using simple trigonometry. However, I can't seem to figure out how to project the two side points. I've tried drawing a bunch of different triangles to figure out how to project the points, but I can't get it to work

I have a question concerning the use of the matrix objecThe following code works well to rotate the sprite from its center if its x and y properties don't change.However, if I drag and drop the clip somewhere else after having rotated it, and then add a new rotation, it keeps rotating from the previous rotation point. Even if I add point =new oint(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2); in a function that is called at the end of the drag and drop, the rotation point remains the same.So,how to update the position of the matrix rotation point if the x and the y of the clip change on the scene after a rotation?
Code:
var myspr=new Sprite();myspr.x=100;myspr.y=100;addChild (myspr);var point:Point=new Point(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2);rotateAroundCenter(myspr,45);

I have multiple angle images of an object and I want the result to be the same as the link here. [URL] I don't know flash at all but it seems like there would be a simple program (even if I have to pay) that allows me to import the images, set the rotation speed and other settings and then hit export to .flv file or something. Does anyone know of a program to do this, or a simple method?
