[F8] How To Incorporate A EaseOut Tween Into This
I'm working on a slider menu and I have that working just fine. However now I want to figure out how to have it so that when I rollOut of the menu it doesn't just stop, but does an easeOut effect so it slows and stops. I've never used the tween class before and I'm not sure exactly how to incorporate it into my existing script. I've given it several tries but to not avail, I just get some crazy results. Can anyone take a look and help me out?

I've attached a very simplified version of what I have so far because the original was too big. Thanks for your time and any help you can give.

Cheers.

Modifying Elastic.easeOut
I want to modify the current Elastic.easeOut function to be less bouncy. This is the code:
Code:
/**
* The <code>easeOut()</code> method starts motion fast
* and then decelerates motion as it executes.
*
* @param t Specifies the current time, between 0 and duration inclusive.
*
* @param b Specifies the initial value of the animation property.
*
* @param c Specifies the total change in the animation property.
*
* @param d Specifies the duration of the motion.
*
* @param a Specifies the amplitude of the sine wave.
*
* @param p Specifies the period of the sine wave.
*
* @return The value of the interpolated property at the specified time.
* @playerversion Flash 9.0.28.0
* @langversion 3.0
* @keyword Ease, Copy Motion as ActionScript
* @see fl.motion.FunctionEase
*/
public static function easeOut(t:Number, b:Number,
c:Number, d:Number,
a:Number = 0, p:Number = 0):Number
{
if (t == 0)
return b;

if ((t /= d) == 1)
return b + c;

if (!p)
p = d * 0.3;

var s:Number;
if (!a || a < Math.abs(c))
{
a = c;
s = p / 4;
}
else
{
s = p / (2 * Math.PI) * Math.asin(c / a);
}

return a * Math.pow(2, -10 * t) *
Math.sin((t * d - s) * (2 * Math.PI) / p) + c + b;
}
I just don't know what I would have to do to modify this..

Regular.easeOut Issue
I'm using MX2004.

This is basically what I want to happen: When a button is clicked, a movieclip starts playing. When that movie clip hits a certain frame, I want another specified movieclip (_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc) to move left by 170px. I'm using the following code:

_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc = new mx.transitions.Tween(_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, (_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc._x), (_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc._x-170), .75, true);

This works fine ONCE but if you click the button again, nothing happens. I think maybe flash isn't updating the value of _root.viewer_mc.slides_mc._x or something. Any idea how I could get this working? It driving me crazy!

Back.easeOut Problem
I have this code to move my mc:

PHP Code:

var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(mc1, "y", Back.easeOut, 420, 0, GetRandomRange(13,18), true);

the movie plays fine and then after about EVERY 1 min everything just stops and stays that way forever. anyone have any idea why? or did it happen to anyone else before...

tnx for any input

Drop, Bounce, Collide, Bounce?
Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how to get 2 (or more) movie clips to bounce off each other and it's a bit frustrating since I'm just learning HitTest etc.

What I have:

- I have 2 movie clips, a circle and a square.
- each movie clip has actionscript for the "falling" gravity to work.
- each movie clip has a button in it with actionscript for the dragging and releasing etc.
- When the movie loads, the circle and square drop from the top of the stage and bounce (using gravity etc).
- You can drag and "toss" each object and it will bounce off the sides and bottom of the stage.

What I'm trying to do:

1) I'd like the circle and square to bounce off each other when they collide just like they bounce off the sides of the stage (right now they bounce behind or in front of eachother based on their layer depths).
2) Also, but less important, I'd like them to bounce off the top of the stage too instead of flying up and out.

Questions:

- How do I make this work? I've seen many examples using HitTest etc on instances of one movieclip, but my movie clips need to be different since they will be turned into separate objects/graphics later (if that makes sense). Is this still a HitTest solution? I don't think so since I'm not really using HitTest to begin with? I've tried incorporating code from some of those examples, but it just doesn't work.

I've attached 2 files - one in Flash 8 format, and another in Flash mx2004 format so hopefully someone can open one of them, take a look at the code and give me some help.

I appreciate it

Peace,

Easeout Using Mx Tween Class Method
hi,
i have text at runtime and i want to scroll it with a easeout effect using mx tween class.
the below link shows exactly what im looking for...the tut does have a fla example but method is not what im after.

http://www.actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=571

i want to achieve the same using a class method.
can some one guide me where and how to code and include the class code ?

just trying my hand at class methods

this is the code i have for the text at runtime(that's what its called ? )

code:
this.createTextField("mytext", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 200, 10, 300, 100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.selectable = false;
mytext.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipscing elit, sed diam nonnumy eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquam erat volupat.Et harumd dereud facilis est er expedit distinct. Nam liber a tempor cum soluta nobis eligend optio comque nihil quod a impedit anim id quod maxim placeat.";
var mystyle:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
mystyle.font= "georgia";
mystyle.size = 12;
mystyle.color = 0x990000
mytext.setTextFormat(mystyle);

[MX04] Regular.easeOut Issue - Please Help
This is basically what I want to happen: When a button is clicked, a movieclip starts playing. When that movie clip hits a certain frame, I want another specified movieclip (_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc) to move left by 170px. I'm using the following code:

_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc = new mx.transitions.Tween(_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, (_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc._x), (_root.viewer_mc.slides_mc._x-170), .75, true);

This works fine ONCE but if you click the button again, nothing happens. I think maybe flash isn't updating the value of _root.viewer_mc.slides_mc._x or something. Any idea how I could get this working? It driving me crazy!

Bounce Down...?
I want to have an object drop down to like 200px from the top, not hit anything, but then realistically bounce up and down slower and slower, like you know... it doesn't just come down and thats it. Kind of hard to explain, but I hope you get it and can help! Thanks!

Bounce, C'mon Bounce
Hiya,

Pretty new to all this, but can somebody point me in the direction of anywhere that'll explain how to get objects of different dimensions to float around in a square/circle bouncing of each other and the walls. The bouncing bits need to be buttons, incidentally.

Thank you!

Bounce
Flash MX

ok, I want to do the simple task of, when an object moves, whenever it hits any other object, it bounces at the angle opposite frome whence it came. I also want to make the object move to begin with.

so, if there is a circle in the frame, and it hits the side at a 30 degree angle, it goes off at a thirty degree angle. Physics.

I really need help but I can't explain myself very well, so I will just send you to the swf file and maybe you can help me. here is the link: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/174139 The problem is when you run into the planet, I want the ship to bounce off rather than stick in it like it is mud. I am simply implementing the use of two movement vars. (xv and yv) so currently, I just set them to zero. I have tried stuff like xv = -xv and I even tried the long way 'round if xv > 0 .....
If you have any suggestions please post them
thanks!

Bounce
Hello again, I had been making a simple game to practice my actionscripting,
It's a ball that moves with the direction keys,
What I did was make 4 separate Mc's as walls; top bottom left and right,
I was able to make the ball bounce from these Mc's by using hitTest and x / yspeed - x / yspeed*2,
that worked by making the ball "bounce" in the opposite direction at the same speed as when it hit,

I've now changed the walls into one wall, I've changed the code to x / y *= -1,
That inverts the direction BUT...
When it hits it goes literally opposite direction so x and y is inverted not creating the "bounce" effect.
Is there another way that this could be achieved?
Thank you in advance!

Attach Code

onClipEvent(load) {
speed = 3;
friction = 0.96;
yspeed = 0;
xspeed = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
//calculationssss
_y += yspeed;
_x += xspeed;
yspeed *= friction;
xspeed *= friction;
_rotation += xspeed;
//movement
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
yspeed += speed;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
yspeed -= speed;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
xspeed += speed;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
xspeed -= speed;
}
if(_root.wall.hitTest(_x,_y, true)) {
yspeed *= -1;
xspeed *= -1;
}
}

How Do I Get An Elastic Bounce?
This might be a silly question: but, how do I get an elastic bounce?

I've seen it on many sites: you click on something, say for example, the object will bounce to and forth and come to rest. This all happening in half a second.

I could attempt to achieve a bounce with some tweening.
But, all the examples I've seen, seem to have a 'natural' elastic bounce. It's something that I can't create with a simple teen.

Does ANYONE know what I'm taking about?

Any help/pointers would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

The Bounce Of The Ball
Ok, it's me again. Hope no one minds me asking all these questions. I know how to make the ball move on a motion guide. But, I don't know how to make it look like a real ball. I fill it with a radial granet to simulate shadow. But as it moves the shadow should follow the light, and I don't know how to do that. Also, when it hits the ground it should smush a little before it bounces back up right? How do I make it smush and then unsmush? Please help.

Bounce In Boxes
How do you make bounce in Boxes? I've seen them used on TONS of web sites and they look neat

Incase you're wondering wtf I'm talking about, its like the box comes in, expands then shrinks to a normal rectangle like. I'll try to find an example

Adding 'bounce'
Right i have a movieclip (a plain square called 'box') a button (called button), and a script which enlarges the movie smoothly. But I want to add a 'bounce' effect so that when the move reaches its destination size it streches out a bit (gets bigger) then springs back to destination size. Kinda an elastic effect.

Here is the code:

Button code:

Code:
on (press) {
_root.box.change = true;
_root.box.goaly = 300;
_root.box.change = true;
_root.box.goalx = 500;
}
Movie code:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (change == true) {
_xscale += (goalx-_xscale)/3;
_yscale += (goaly-_yscale)/3;
}
}
If anyone can help it would be most appreciated

Bounce When Click
Hello.
I am trying to animate an MC instance named myName, Specifically, I am trying to make it bounce on a y point. I can't figure out why it is not working. Here is my code:

-- first frame action

g = 150;
elastic = .7;
BallRadius = getProperty("myName", _height)/2;
nameBounce = false;

-- button action

on (release) {
nameBounce = true;
}

-- MC action

onClipEvent (load) {
if (nameBounce) {
y = getProperty("_root.myName", _y);
vert = Number(vert)+Number((g/10));
y = Number(y)+Number((vert/10));
if (Number(y)>Number((200-BallRadius))) {
y = 200-BallRadius;
vx = (vx*elastic);
vert = -(vert*elastic);
}
setProperty("_root.myName", _y, y);
if (_root.myName_y==200) {
nameBounce = false;
}
}
}

Is the error in the logic or the syntax?
Thanks for any help you offer.

How Do I Get An Elastic Bounce?
How do I get an elastic bounce at the end of an object coming onto screen?

Bounce Off Walls
hey guys, i've attached a file for you to look at. when you open it go to the "menu" scene (there's nothing in gameplay yet, but i will need your help there too probably in the future). in menu, see that little black ball on the right (frame 38)? can you show me what action to add to that ball to make it start from that point... pick a random direction to go in... and whenever it hits any of the walls to bounce back... i want it to just continue to bounce around the screen in the background. (of course though, i want it to bounce back continueing on at the angle it hit the wall from.... do you follow me? did i phrase that right? do you get why i'm TRYING to say?)

Bounce Animation
Hey all,

I am trying to achieve a good animation that makes it look as if the object is bouncing a little bit right before it locks into place. just a small bounce and i need it to be smooth. this is part of a menu that pops up is supposed to bounce a little and then stop in its place. what i have tried to do is create a motion tween of it going into place then moving backwars a little bit and then going back. i dont know if it matters but im doing this with a bitmap not a vector graphic. the way i have it going it looks very awkward and it moves very sporadicly sort of. is there a better way to achieve this effect. i hope you know what i am talking about at least maybe a little. thanks

MC Follows The Cursor With Bounce?
I know how to make a movieclip follow the mouse cursor around a movie, but what I need to do is more similar to the www.sobebev.com navigation bar. That is, the item following the cursor should be limited to one axis, have a bit of bounce or sassyness to it, and disappear once the cursor leaves.

Any ideas on what the actionscript/math for this would look like?

Slide In And Bounce?
I'm trying to create a simple effect where a MC slides in from outsid the stage and kind of bounces to a stop. It's the same idea as a bouncing ball but along the x axis instead of the y axis.

I've read through a ton of tutorials and samples but I'm just not getting it. So many of them have drag and throw or follow the mouse and I can't seem to take out what I don't need and keep the script working.

sorry. I'm guessing that elastic effects are THE most asked question on here.

EDIT:

Ok I found this and it works pretty good

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// MOVING SCIPT PART
var speed = 8;
var viscosity = 1.5;
// Where to go-----------------------------
xpos = 294;
// Move to xpos script-------------------
difference = xpos-this._x;
xvelocity = (xvelocity+(difference)/speed)/viscosity;
this._x += xvelocity;
}

I need to have another clip come in from the right though, how do I reverse the direction of movment? Also what do I change to make it zippier? I want it to realy go "SPROING!!!"

Adding Bounce
I am using this code to move MCs on the stage but I would like to add a nice bounce effect to it so that they actually go passed the set xy then spring back a few times until it reaches the correct position. Can anyone give me some ideas on how to add that to my code?

function moveMe() {
this.const = .3;
// difference of position
this.d_difx = (this.targX-this._x);
this.d_dify = (this.targY-this._y);
// set position
this._x += this.d_difx*this.const;
this._y += this.d_dify*this.const;
// shut this off
if ((Math.abs(this.d_difx)<=1) && (Math.abs(this.d_dify)<=1)) {
delete (this.onEnterFrame);
}
}

And here is how I tell the MC to move
mcName.targX = 0;
macName.targY = 499.75;
mcName.onEnterFrame = _root.moveMe;

Thanks,

Bounce Effect
I'm trying to get a "bounce" effect on a movieclip when it scales. Right now I have it scaling smoothly but I would like it to "bounce" or scale a bit past it's intended point and back to the intended point. I hope this makes sense. Here's what the clipEvent on my clip looks like now and the button actions as well.

code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_xscale += (newScale - _xscale) / 3;
_yscale += (newScale - _yscale) / 3;
}

my_btn.onRollOver = function() {
myclip.newScale = 110;
}
my_btn.onRollOut = function() {
myclip.newScale = 100;
}

Thanks for any help

Bounce Off At Angle...
Hi guys...

I figure this one shouldnt be too hard.

What would be an ideal algorithm for having a ball bounce off a wall, when the rotation of the ball is given, and the direction that the wall is facing is given...

all i need is a script that takes the given direction of a ball, the given direction of the wall it has bounced off, and turns it into a new resulting direction for the ball...

looking at the directions i drew on the attached image, heres another example of some input and output.

ball_rotation = -25, wall_rotation = -180,
resulting_rotation = -155

ball_rotation = +45, wall_rotation = -135,
resulting_rotation = -135
(ie: ball simply reverses direction in this case)

ball_rotation = +135, wall_rotation = -90,
resulting_rotation = -135

does anyone know where I can get some good resources for this? or even make up a quick script demonstration?

also, if you're finding my explaination hard to follow, ill post an example in flash as soon as i can...

thanks guys
