[F8] 3D Wheel Menu (may Be)

Rotating 'wheel' Menu
Hi flashkit peeps,

I'm after an open source interface, I'm sure I've seen something like it on here somewhere, but I can't find it.

I'm after something like this:



where when you mouse left or right the items rotate round in a circular direction (this screen grab is from http://www.red2design.co.uk/ )

Can anyone help?

Rotating Wheel Menu
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a rotating wheel menu? I'm making a website for a bike courrier service and I was envisioning the menu to be an actual bicycle wheel. When you click on a menu choice, the menu would rotate to the point where the menu choice would be in a designated spot for the active window. While the wheel was rotating, the sound of a rotating bike wheel would be playing. Anyone have any idea how to do something like this? Please let me know.

Thanks.

Help With Making Virtual Sttering Wheel Menu
It's hard to explain this without visual aids, but basically I'm building an interactive steering wheel menu. Well. I got the wheel to rotate. Now I just need the links to pop up at the
appropriate degrees when the wheel is turned. I want the URL links to pop up
in the windshield, and at the same time, have an audio announcement as
though emitted from the radio. I need the links to pop up like this:
URL #1 = 45 degrees
URL #2 = 90 degrees
URL #3 = 135 degrees
URL #4 = 180 degrees
URL #5 = 225 degrees
URL #6 = 270 degrees
The links will have to remain in place until the wheel is turned again, to
give the viewer the chance to click the link if so desired. I would be very
grateful if someone could help me out with this... I know nothing about the
programming involved in this.
I hope it isn't too complicated!

James.

[F8] Help With Spinning Game Wheel... Wheel Of Fortune-style
Hi everyone,

I'm working on a game with a Wheel of Fortune-style wheel... spin it and it lands on a category.

I have a spinning wheel which works when you drag it with the mouse to "flick it" around... but I actually need it to work with a single keypress. I've attached the files to show where I am. I got the keypress working at the most basic level, but it's buggy and has some weird stuff going on...

- It always lands on almost the same 2-3 spots (alternating)
- It changes direction mid-spin and goes a little wacky, though once it slows down it's okay
- I have nothing in place to recognize which category it landed on

Any help resolving these ANY of these issues would be great. Thanks!!

Wheel Of Fortune
Hello!

I'm making "Wheel of Fortune". Making the wheel spin was no problem (of course) and make it stop random. But how (!) do i find out where it stops? I have different pictures on the wheel and want something special to happen when it stops on a dog... i can make the same thing happen every time, but want different tings to happen on different pictures. HOW?

How do you make a disc symbol spin smoothly without stopping, like a car wheel or a record for example? If you just do a motion tween and make it rotate any number of times it will briefly pause when it reaches the end of the loop. Any ideas?

Wheel Of Fortune
Hi,

I am trying to produce a 'Wheel of fortune' type graphic in Flash. The basic idea is that you click the centre arrow and it spins around and lands randomly on one of the seven sections of the wheel. The problem I have is that I'm not sure how to make the arrow land randomly. If anyone has any idea how to do this I would appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

thanks. fu-meng.

Wheel Of Fortune
I need to create some kind of wheel, that you can grab with your mouse and actually spin it, it has to be able to stop on its own at random,once the wheel stops a new movieclip will pop up on the right of the wheel displaying new content,(the wheel is split into 4 sections, each section will contain a hidden location somone can win!!) the purpose of this wheel is to give away free trips to people that visit the site and spin the wheel. I have no clue how to go about doing this. here is a link with a sample wheel im working on, if someone could possibly take wjat i have and bring it to life, or possibly create a generic wheel in which i can try and follow how they did it it will be muuuuuuuch appreciated,

thnx in advance

Scroll Wheel
Hey guys I know you can select a button to whether or not to use scrolling with scroll wheel on mouse.

Is there a selection button (or something) than enables a viewer to use/not use the scroll wheel on the mouse.

The reason I wonder is because I have a few sites and all of them scroll with the scroll wheel.

The last site I made, I can't get the scroll wheel to scroll down the site if I click in the flash area. The text in the flash area scrolls but the interface doesn't unless I click outside of the flash area and on the HTML page.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Spinning Wheel
Hi again to everyone on this forum.

I have another tricky question (although it might sound very simple to some). Anyway I am using this code as you caan see below to spin a wheel I have created in Flash.

function spinWheel(myTarget) {
rotation = 0;
myRandom = 0;

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
myTarget._rotation += rotation;
};
slowdown = function () {
myTarget.onEnterFrame = function() {
rotation -= _root.myRandom;
trace(_root.myRandom);
if (rotation<=0) {
rotation = 0;
_root.clicker.gotoAndStop(1);
}
};
};
speedup = function () {
myTimer = getTimer();
myTarget.onEnterFrame = function() {
rotation++;
_root.clicker.gotoAndPlay(2);
if (rotation>10) {
rotation =-1;
pauseTimer = getTimer();
timeTrace = pauseTimer-myTimer;
trace(timeTrace);
if (timeTrace>100) {
slowdown();
}
}
};
};
}
spinWheel(_root.box);
myButton1.onRelease = function() {
myRandom = Math.random()*.30;
if (myRandom<=.10) {
myRandom = .10;
}
trace(myRandom);
speedup();
};


ANYWAY, this works fine. What I want to do next is instead of having to press a button for the wheel to begin spinning, I would like to have the wheel spin on its own once the timeline reaches a certain frame.

Does anyone have a clue what I need to change in this piece of code for it work?

Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks

Scroll Wheel
Hi

I'm currently making a game and I want the player to be able to use the scroll wheel to switch between 5 weapons. I used this code:

(First Frame)

ActionScript Code:
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();

(Main Code for the Game)

ActionScript Code:
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
    nofiring = true;
    divideDelta = delta/9;
    weapon = weapon + divideDelta;
    if (weapon>5) {
        weapon = 5;
    }
    if (weapon<1) {
        weapon = 1;
    }
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

I found the 'divideDelta = delta/9' part by trial and error. This code worked fine on my PC. But when I tried it on another PC, the scroll wheel jumped between weapons 1,3 and 5. All I can presume is that the wheel is more sensitve on the other PC. Could anyone please tell me a way of using the scroll wheel to consistently change a variable?

Spinning Wheel
Hi, i need help on this project. Details :

The wheel will be spinning slowly upon loading of the page. Once viewer mouse over, the wheel starts spinning faster with sound. Upon clicking anywhere on the spinning wheel the viewer will be brought to any one of the ten weblinks at random after a 2 sec delay. During the 2 sec delay there will be winning lights flashing and sounds of victory streamed.

( Its like wheel of fortune )

Any ideas ? Thanks in advance

Wheel Acceleration
Hi Wizards! I have a simple problem with the Fla im working on.
I tried to imitate a car wheel in flash. but I am experiencing weird behaviour with my fla.

When i hit the left key, it must run clockwise and should accelerate first before reaching the top speed. Same goes to the right key, the wheel will go counterclockwise. But the weird thing is, it doesnt run smoothly as expected. it will tick first once to the left or right before accelerating to full speed. I need to remove this tick. I need to run it smoothly.

please download my fla with this link...

Scroll Wheel
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem or not but say I have a multi line textfield in a flash file loaded in the browser, with a scroll bar—the scroll wheel on the mouse only works when used on a pc and not on a mac.

the scroll button on the mouse will scroll through the textField in the flash file only when viewed on a PC. I'm on two separate Macs and it doesn't work when viewing through the browser on the mac. Same browser (Firefox) on both platforms.

Strange too, becuase the files are all created on the mac. I just use the PC to test the projects. Anyone else know of this?

Knob/wheel...Help?
Hey!
I'm new to the boards, so Hi I got a little Problem! I would like to create a knob or wheel with which I can scale/zoom in on a map. Somehow I can't figure out how to make the knob look and feel the way I want it to (see jpeg). And on the other hand it behaves weird. I want it to start to left, and because it will be for a touchscreen, I would like to just have to drag the little dot. Now you have to click twice! I know, it's a lot I'm asking, but I really need your help to get it done for my Thesis. So hopefully you'll have some suggestions...

I attached the fla in the zip folder and the pictures show how the wheel should look like...It's a clock, where you "mark" time, and I don't really know how to accomplish that!!!

Clapper Wheel
Hi All

This is a bit of a shot in the dark but here goes anyway.

I am coding a game. The game has a thing called a clapper wheel. It's basicaly a wheel that turns with a clapper that gets pushed up by the pegs on the wheel. When the wheel slows down to a certain point (dependant on the strength of the spring in the clapper) the clapper remains inbetween the pegs and stops the wheel and that's your winning number.

Now, I need to write the code for the physics of this clapper wheel so it acts realistically and being no physics genius I need some help. Does anyone know if there is some code available somewhere, have some code you well sell me or knows enough physics to write it for me (I will pay, just tell me how much)

Cheers

Rotating Wheel
Is there a way of rotating a wheel through 360 degrees without manipulating each frame to create the animation. When I use Transform and Rotate 90 degrees (4 times to make 360) the image rotates 180 degrees in one direction and then 180 degrees back. I have achieved a simular effect but I did it by creating a lot of different images and playing them one after the other. I'm hoping there's a more effecient way. Thanks for any help.

Image Wheel
hi there,
i have to do a image whell menu for a web site.
now the following code works good so far (you have to have a mc with an image called "prod" in the library), but i have one problem:

since i want the the pictures of the wheel to be scaled according to their position, i used the code

r._yscale = r._xscale = Math.round ((ybit + 1) * 50);

this makes the image scale to 100 % when it is in the front
unfortunately it is at 0% when it's in the back...
how can i tweak the code to scale the image to a minimum of say 30% ?
also, how can i make the wheel spin in an oval instead of a circle.

thanks for help


Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("all", 1);
var products = 4;
var center_x = Stage.width / 2;
var center_y = Stage.height / 2;
for (var i = 0; i < products; i++)
{
var r = all.attachMovie ("prod", "r" + i, i + 10);
r._x = r.center_x = center_x;
r._y = r.center_y = center_y;
r.theta = i * 360 / products;
r.radius = 250;
}
this.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
if ((_ymouse < 40) || (_ymouse > Stage.width-40))
{
speed = speed * .95;
}
else
{
speed = (center_x - _xmouse) / 100;
}
moveAll (speed);
};
stop ();
moveAll = function (spd)
{
for (var n = 0; n < products; n++)
{
var r = all["r" + n];
r.theta += spd;
var xbit = Math.sin (Math.PI / 180 * r.theta);
var ybit = Math.cos (Math.PI / 180 * r.theta);
r._x = xbit * r.radius + r.center_x;
r._y = ybit / 20 * r.radius + r.center_y;
r._yscale = r._xscale = Math.round ((ybit + 1) * 50);
r.stack = Math.round ((ybit + 1) * r.radius * 2);
if (r.stack == 100)
{
r.stack = 101;
}
r.swapDepths (r.stack);
}
};
