I have a movieclip that I am using greensocks transformManager with so the user can rotate, skew, and scale the clip. This works fine, but I am trying to add a crop tool. If the image is rotated, when I send the image to the crop tool it measures the height of the image by the bounds of the rotated image, not the actual height of the image if it were square (re: not rotated).
So, what I tried to do what, after sending it to the crop tool, rotate it back to 0 before getting the bounds using this code:

I don't understand the math here. Shouldn't it just rotate 3rads in the positive direction to equal it out? How would I return it to 0;
I'm trying to animate some leaves that rotate back and forth to simulate leaves blowing in the wind. I got to animate the leaves one way, but i couldn't figure out how to make it loop (go back and forth).Here's the code: on the movie clip named "leaf" witht the following code attached to it:
I am still quite new to AS. I'd like to rotate a circle (compass_mc) around its centerpoint slowly forth/back with +/- 45 degree...or better with random degree. As file size is important, I can not solve it with MotionTween. Up to this time I applied this code to the MC, which endlessly rotates it: iranytu_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){ this._rotation+=1; } How to apply that sort of random slow forth/back rotation to the circle with AS?
I have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....
I am messing around to learn more about actionscript and I am trying to have a square movieclip resize itself so both sides are equal to 50 here is my code on the movieclip it does the resize and all but it keeps on going. I am not sure how to stop it.
I am trying to draw a triangle and square using a movieclip that follows the pen of a line.It works, both triangle and square draw together. But I keep getting a flicker of a movieclip in the top left corner.
I'm stuck with trying to target a movieclip dynamically from a loop. I'm using the square brackket syntax but I can't figure out why it's not working. Here's what I'm trying to do: Code: this.t1.t1._alpha=20; And here's how I'm trying to do it: Code: this["t"+1+".t"+1]._alpha= 20;
hey guys, so, im going through colin moock's book, "the definitive guide", and im learning about global variables. so in his lesson he says to do this:
1. create a movieclip called square, with a square inside of it.
2. in the square mc's timeline, on frame 1, place this code :
_global.day = "tuesday";
3. go back to the main timeline and on frame one put this code:
trace(day); no according to moock, when i run the movie, it should output "tuesday", but all i keep getting is "undefined".i'm running mx 2004, so im wondering if that has anything to do with it.
I have a circle_mc on the stage. Then I create randomly placed 20 squares (square_mc) on the stage. I can move my circle on that stage, and all I want is to check hitTestObject(or any *yet unknow for me* method that gives a result) if circle touches any of squares. Then I need to remove that touched movieClip (square) from the stage. hitTestObject checks if 2 specific objects are touched. My question is how to know which square is which, and then if it touches with circle_mc to remove it from the stage.
I have a square movieclip named squarepad. What I want is when I click on it to do [some stuff] according to where the square is clicked. It should be something like this: if ([mouseclickedx] > 1) and ([mmouseclickedx] < 10) then [do this] end if
Inside movieClip container, there are colored buttons on layer1 and on layer2 there is movieClip square which covers the buttons. I want to use the color efffects and blending options of movieClip square to make layer 1 alpha. There are some blending options called alpha, difference, lighten and substract but Im not getting the right combinations. I want to make layer1 alpha only by using layer2.
I have a circular diagram with approximately 8 icons around the outter part of the circle. These points are all buttons. When Clicked, I want the diagram and icons to animate round to the top point (360 or 0 degrees). Then, when another icon is clicked they will all move round so that one is at the top.It would be a great bonus to have a slick easing in motion too but not essential - just a 'nice to have'.I have looked over forums and responses and there is quite a bit of info on this but I'm finding it difficult to apply it to this particular project.
how do you rotate the position of one MC to another. for example a triangle, i have one mc that rotates to face the mouse position but i want another mc to rotate towards the player
I'm trying to rotate a movieClip from it's original position, to a random anglehere's what I have:
function getRandomNumber(min:Number, max:Number):uint{ var randomNumber:Number=Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min)+min); return randomNumber;} particles.rotate(angle:getRandomNumber(0,180));
I have been trying to convert this effect into AS3 but have been having majour issues : rotate clip
I have an object (class) with a handle, when dragged I would like the clip to rotate with the mouse (much like rotating an object in photoshop). I have put my code into an ENTER_FRAME event, and have been using a matrix object to do my rotation (is there an easier way?)
Code: private function rotateClip(e:Event) { myMatrix.rotate((Math.floor(180*Math.atan2(mouseX,mouseY)/Math.PI)+90));
[Code].....
was my attempt at converting the code from the example link. I've also tried various other methods using trig to no avail.
how can I make the green movieclip rotate in the point that the claw has catch it. To give an impression of physics. Here´s the image, to give you an idea:
The point (x,y) that the claw catches the colored movieclips below is not unique it can be any number. As long as the claw catches the colored movieclip.
How do I make an mc constantly rotate? I know this must be simple but i dont know how to do it. I just want it to rotate around its middle. How would i do this?
I've created some code that rotates an arrow up or down when the user clicks on it, depending on whether the timeline is on frame 1 or 5. The problem I am encountering is that rather than rotating visually, it just flips to the correct degree (in this case, 0 or 180).
Code: function turndown():Void{ for(i=0; i<16; i++){ this.upDownMC._rotation += 11.25; }} function turnup():Void{ [Code] ......
How can I rotate a movieclip so that when I move it, it will rotate slightly depending on the angle of the ground. The only thing I can relate this too is the old school sonic games. How would I find the curve of the ground and apply it the moving character?
a movieClip that contains a polygon and some circles at the angles of the polygon. I want to use the circles as rotation handles.Now the code below works but it terribly, terribly slow.I've seen a couple of other examples of rotation using the mouse position, but I want the polygon to rotate via the handle; I think that means the angle of rotation needs to be updated each time the mouse moves.Is there a cleaner/more efficient way to do this?Also, this works only for one direction right now no matter the x/y direction you move the mouse.
public function mouseDownRotate(event:MouseEvent):void { // get the global x and y of the dragged piece (offset so it looks like it's rotating around the polygon's center
I have a MovieClip, that is representing a character in my game. Id like to "create bullets" shooting out from the tip of my characters gun. Problem is that when my character turns around, also the point rotates around the MovieClips pivot.
Is it possible to anyhow easily track this point, so that I could dynamically create new objects at the same location.
I tried to add a new MC as a child to my character, with the initial position at the guntip. In some systems child-objects "follow" their parents around, but it didnt seem to work here.
Is there any other "native" way of doing this, or do I just have to have a Polar-coordinates representation of the point relative to character-MovieClips origin, and add the MC rotation to theta, so that I can calculate the X and Y coordinates?
I am working on a snowboarding game, And have two points of collision detection on the board: x-----xOne at the Front of the riders boardOne at the Back of the riders boardThese two points of collision are placed within the rider.movieClip, and not on the _root timeline, as the rider movieclip can rotate etc as it rides through different gradients of slopes. I have used a largely basic method to obtain the X,Y positions of each collision point, using the following method:
Code: var backX:Number = _root.rider._x+_root.rider.backDetection._x; var backY:Number = _root.rider._y+_root.rider.backDetection._y; (The same for the frontX and frontY) As you can see, it simply adds the offset of the detection points positions from the riders x, y therefore when the rider movieclip is rotated during gameplay, the rotation is not accounted for and it still searches for collision in exactly the same positions.
I am using this for collision checking: Code: this.hitTest(backX, backY, true) Which is placed on the ground movieclip (what the snowboarder is riding on). Any better way of doing such collision checking, or how to account for rotation? is localToGlobal() the answer?
I am trying to make a line point to wherever the cursor is when I stumbled upon the Math.atan2(); function. It appeared that i would put line.rotation = Math.atan2(1,1); to get 45 degrees or pi/4, but I was wrong. It barely moved the movieclip at all. So what I'm trying to do is to get this movie clip to rotate along with the mouse so the line is always pointing at the cursor. Also, how would you get movieclip to move along the line created by the line of these two points?
I have made a Car Game using Box2D [in Flash] and I have one remaining bug, which I cannot fix. I added graphics and put them on top of the Box2D body. Everything went as good as expected, but after X rotations the movie clips for the car-wheels, stop spinning. I do something like this wheelSprite.rotation = wheelBody.GetAngle() * 180 / Math.PI. I ran a separate program and I saw that, if you do X.rotation += variable and you increase the variable every frame, after ~30 000 (value of variable) the MovieClip stops rotating, so I reset it to 0 after ~28 000. What do I do? The wheelBody.GetAngle()
I want to make a drag and drop movie clip with rotating control in 360 degrees.I made a movie clip with 30 frames with a button in centre which can rotate the object in 360 degrees.At this stage it is functioning.when i tried to add the drag and drop action to the movie,the button for rotation is not working.
My client has a simple shape that they want the user to be able to animate, i.e. it looks like a single square on the stage, but when you grab it and drag, a load of squares appear and fan out from the corner of the first. I was thinking, I can easily achieve the first part of this by attaching, say 20 movieclips of my square to the stage, but I'm not sure how to approach the back/forth draggable aspect of this.
