how to make a simple ball follow an oval motion path? Think of a molecule spinning (and looping) around a nucleus. This was five seconds work in previous versions where you could draw the motion guide then simply attach an object to it and say "orient to path" but I can't seem to find how to do it in CS4.

View 5 Repliesmake my hero go back to his shelter when he finds some food or when he approaches an enemy. It looks like this:
1. The hero is in the shelter.
2. The hero is hungry.
3. The hero leaves the base to hunt some animals down.
4. The hero is full and is headed back to the shelter.
5. He moves in the direction of where the base is.
So, once again, how do I make my hero go back to where he came from? How do I make my hero's x and y position to fit the way back home?
As the topic indicates, i'm trying to create a curved path and make a movieclip follow that path up and down with a bit of rotation.
This could easily be done animating the timeline, however I need this to be done through pure AS - as when I mouseOver the MC, the MC need to stop and go to the top. [url]...
So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].....
I'm trying to make a circular motion path using Senocular's tutorial here.What I want is a box to move around a circle motion path that is created in AS when the user presses a button. However I'm having trouble decifering all of Sencular's code because there is a lot of advanced stuff that he puts in that I don't want and I'm having trouble getting started.
View 14 RepliesI have an array of items, and would like to position them from left to right, along the under part of an oval path, and space them evenly. (with actionscript).So, going from 180 degrees from the left, and ending up at 0 degrees on the right, while also increasing the y form 0 to 70, and then back to 0. The oval having a width of 1000px, and a height 0f 140px.
A) I have had a hard time getting the correct angle to start at (I figured it would be 180, because Flash's coordinate system is backwards).
B) How do I divide the space between the start angle and end angle evenly with the length of the arrray? It should be decreasing the angle to get back to 0, no?I have been using this structure:
Code: Select allvar angle:Number = 0;
var centerX:Number = 500;
var centerY:Number = 0;
var radiusX:Number = 500;

I am fresher to as2, I'm doing a game, in that i need to rotate the movieclip in a oval path(not in circular path)
View 2 RepliesI can't seem to figure out how to accomplish a fairly simple task: I have a simple graphic and I'd like to apply an "orbiting" effect to it - so that the graphic moves in a circle around an arbitrary point (without rotating around its own center).[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to create an app using flash AIR.I would like to find some more information on how to make an object snap to another ojbect then follow its path, eg. a person object is already on the stage, then drag an arrow to the object which snaps to it, then on play button it follows the arrow path. all in pure actionscript, no guide layers.
View 1 RepliesI have a line that is 800 pixels long. The line is a gradual curve, that gets kinda steep at the end. I want this ball to go along the line. How do I make the ball move to the right, and stay on top of the line. All I have now is...
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x +=35;
}
Now I need to add something to make it follow the line. The instance name of the line is.... "line" without the quotes of course.
i wanna ask how do i make a ball bounce off something like a ball bouncing off a bumper in a pinball game? i've tried a lot of times but everytime the ball get stucked to the box and it doesn't move anymore...will be grateful if anyone noes the actionscript of it..
View 3 RepliesWhat I need is a ball to be bouncing. It needs it needs to slow down when it reaches its peak and increase speed as it falls. It needs to bounce forever at the same height. And last ... I need a button to make the ball look like its moving in slow motion (while still bouncing at the same height).
This is the closest I have come to getting it right. if you click the button when the ball is at its peak it works. but if you click any other time the ball will fly up to far (it needs to bounce the same height when in slow motion and in regular motion).
movieclips - "ball", "ground"
button - "btn"
[Code].....
I have a ball bouncing that works great. What I want is a button that will make the ball look like its in slow motion (while still bouncing at the same height) and another button to put it back in regular motion. After hours of experimenting I still couldn't get it perfect. The following code is on the ball movieclip.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var acceleration = 0.005;
var termVelocity = 20;
[Code]......
how to click one point, then click another and have movieclips attach themselves along the path in AS2.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a circular gallery 6 images/movie clips and two buttons. I would like to have these images move around a circular path, clockwise when the right button is hit and counter clockwise when the left one is hit. I am just learning action script so my understanding of it is extremely basic. I don't necessarily need all the code just conceptualize how this would be done. I don't want to use the time line (if that's not possible just let me know).The only things I can think of would be to have the images move on a path or painfully swap out the buttons for new ones that look exactly the same but move different clips for each scenario.
View 1 RepliesWondering if any of you have any experience with the title. I just want a dot or an object to follow the path drawn by my mouse at a predetermined length.
View 0 RepliesI have a blank flash movie which has a circle drawn in the middle I then have a movie clip symbol called "star", it is basically a line drawing of a star Within the main movie, I have the "star" snapped to the circle so that I can make a "motion tween" to rotate the star around the circle. What I want to do, is make the "star" rotate around the circle but only doing it when the mouse cursor is being moved around the circle. So the "star" is following the mouse cursor, but the star should remain clipped to the curcle.

View 1 RepliesAfter read a lot about ball physics, watch some examples and few days of trying making pinball with bitmaps, I use simple (easy to work with) and fast performance Physics AS3 engine for bitmaps [URL] but still cant fix problem: if ball is moving too fast and object on path is too small, there will be no collision detection (code works perfect only with bigger objects or if ball is moving slower). I am not good at physics and maths. Here is function code which make physics for ball on every frame rate (but maybe its better to change it to setTimeout):
function showFrame(e:Event) // onEnterFrame{
var collisions:Array = collisionlist.checkCollisions();
if(collisions.length) // if collision{
var collision:Object = collisions[0]; // get collision information
var angle:Number = collision.angle; // get collision angle
[Code] .....
is there a way using AS3 to get objects to follow a path (a drawn line) or will i have to set waypoints?
View 3 RepliesAny way which allow me to draw an arbitrary line with the pencil tool for instance, and then tell to flash to use this path as a motion path for an object on the stage by creating a motion tween. I know that this can be achieved by classic tween, but I look for a way to achieve the same effect but by using the new animation model of motion tween.
View 5 Replieshow do I do the drawing motion on the following greeting, is it just a motion path on top of other layers in the background?
View 1 Repliesafter I create a motion tween, why is it that I don't always see the path of that tween? It seems that I've got to shuffle stuff around a bit before I actually see the colored path. Is there some trick to this?
View 5 RepliesPlayed Zuma? How the motion path was set. I would assume that it was not timeline animation but I could be wrong. My thoughts are that pretty much any simplistic shape can be represented mathematically so it shouldn't be too hard to set up some formula to represent XY over time. My other thought was that the XY coords for the path are setup in a XML or database that the balls basically move through coordinates linearly speaking.

View 2 RepliesI have a custom motion path and a symbol. I want to use attachmovie to put the symbol on the page and go on that patch.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to trace the path a symbol takes and create a shape(or shapes that appear as a tracing)? Very Simple example: The letter C, without serifs. Basically an arc. I would like the C to be "drawn" in the animation. I hope to simply motion tween along the C and trace it's path. I did a shape tween, and wasn't happy with the results. Plus complex paths would be very hard to shape tween.
View 4 RepliesIm trying to make a ball move to the position of a crosshair (not the mouse, but another object on the stage) which stops after 15 seconds (if you can imagine a penalty shoot out game).
So the ball is still to begin, but on an onClipEvent(enterFrame)command it should move to the target (the crosshair)
Getting the ball to move along a line at a specified speed is no problem, but I want the ball to actually go to and stop wherever the crosshair is on the stage.
