How To Make A Circle Spin Smoothly?
I have Flash MX and I can't seem to get a circle to spin/rotate smoothly, it sort of jerks around. How do I get it to spin/rotate smoothly? Please explain step by step and in detail. Thanks. Greg
If you want to know what I mean I attached a zip file with the fla inside it. So you can see what I need help with.

Spin Circle By Mouse
Bit hard to explain, but il try if u give me abit of ur time.
Basically i want to be able to spin a circle around when the cursor moves.
Get me...prob not!
For example, if u move the cursor to a certain point, the arrow type object attached to the circle will turn and stop at the point where u stopped the cursor.
The following is the link to an Image of what I want.

In my example image, the blue dial thingy should point to wherever the cursor is.
Thanx

How To Spin A Circle On It's Axis?
I've seen this done before and I still can't figure out how to do it.
It's a circle standing still spinning on it's own center axis.
Preloaders sometimes show it.
I've seen the circular movement tutorial here on kirupa, and that isn't it.
Like this game does...
Sorry for the crappy example, and site! I'm sure there are much better ones out there.

How To Make A MC Move Smoothly ?
This is my problem...
I have a Movie Clip with instance name fullimage, containing 7 images.
I also have 7 buttons with the thumbnail of each image.
I managed to move the MC and see the desired image (when pressing a button), using the _x property.
I can't make the MC to move smoothly from one position to the other.
I've tried this._x = this._x + 1; or -1; within a loop, but every time i press a button
i get an error message that the script made the MC slowly etc.
Can anyone suggest a solution please?
How Do I Make My Animation Run Smoothly?
Hi guys,
I am making an animation where a movie clip moves from one side of the main movie to the other while scaling up. It flashes to different colours as it does this. But when i preview my movie in html or flash, the movie pauses alot during this sequence.
Is there any way to prevent this, and will this be how it will be when it is published proper?
How Do I Make Things Move Smoothly And Gracefully?
I want to do a slideshow kind of thing where images (and text) move in quickly, smoothly, and gracefully. A great example would be from this site:
http://www.oppenoffice.com/
That's exactly what I mean, with the way the images move in. Setting up keyframes and doing a usual motion tween (even at a high frame rate) just doesn't do it.
Thoughts? Help is much appreciated!

How Do You Make A Clip Move More Smoothly Without Increasing The Frame Rate Please?
Hello,
I have been developing this piece of code with the help of people in the forum and what I have so far is below. It makes a clip move around the screen in the opposite direction to the mouse.
It all works fine, but when the clip moves, it is jerky. Is there any way to make it move more smoothly without increasing the framerate? Increasing the framerate does not do anything on older computers with slower processers.
Can the code be altered at all to make the clip move more smoothly?
Many thanks
James
onClipEvent(Load){
//where 550 X 400 is your movie size
M_halfwidth= 550/2
M_halfheight= 400 /2
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//this will always move the peice relevant to the centre
//as it tracks every frame not just when mouse moves= no delay
_y = M_halfheight+(M_halfheight-_root._ymouse);
_x = M_halfwidth+(M_halfwidth-_root._xmouse);
//then you need to check if you have moved 2 far
//check _x at minimum and max
if (_x<=0){
_x=0;

How Do You Make A Boundry For A Circle?
I have a ball that gets duplicated when you press a button, the ball acts with gravity so it bounces and whatnot but when the balls hit they just go through eachother, I want them to have boundrys so when they touch sit on eachother or bounce off whatever my gravity allows it to do. I'm gonna do some experimenting but if you could help thatd be great.
I'm using Flash 8 as well

Make Text Scroll In A Circle
how do you do this? Anyone know of a thread i can check out that explains how to use a circle as a guide for text to follow.
Here's what i'm trying to accomplish. I'd like to create a simple looking interface over a jpg.
to better illustrate this here's a link of what the interface would look like:
http://ianleelucero.com/sampleflash/followthecup.jpg
so according to the picture the text would come out in a switch blade kind of fashion.
sound simple enough? i will keep trying on my part to make this work. and thanks for any responses.

Any Easy Way To Make A Circle Wipe?
I would like a round color field to form, in a clockwise motion starting from the top of the screen "noon".
I have a way with a half circle, covered by a rectangle - the rectangle rotates over time exposing a half circle - I'd then dup the movie and flip it.
I just upgraded to MX and am learning while earning!!! I'm a little brainshot right now.
But Figured there is got to be a quicker way?
Any help?

HELP :) Make A Grid Circle Formula?
hey all,
problem:
i have a grid from 11 x 11 movieclips = 121 movieclips, the first one at _x=0, _y=0 is number 1! etc
now i want to start from the center of the grid movieclips that is number 61 and want to calculate from that 61 a circle movement till i reach the last outside movieclip number 11?
assuming i start from rigth direction:
so i start with number 61,62,73,72,71,61,49,51,51 = a mini grid of 9x9 then i must start from 63,64 till i have a grid of 5x5 including the mini grid..
where can i find a formula calculation!? or help
i hope this makes sense? )

Frame Independent Circle To Circle Detection

Circle-circle Reactions, With A Twist..?
All right, I'm not as dumb as I sound -- no, really! But here's what's got me stumped:
I have a series of circles that gradually spin toward the center of the screen. The circles are randomly placed at the outer edge of the screen and randomly assigned a speed. Because the balls don't travel in a linear fashion, I'm having trouble figuring out how to adjust their movement. As the circles get closer to the center, they also get "spun" a certain amount -- they have a property called "theta" that gets appended with another property called "spin." Anyway...
I can detect when a collision is taking place: I'm just completely blank regarding how to make the circles react. I've searched a bunch of places, but nothing I've found is making any sense to me...and I'd like to think that I'm not brain-dead...
If anyone has any suggestions, I would LOVE to hear them! Thanks in advance!

Blake
Moveable Circle Around Another Circle - No Overlap
Hey all. I have two MC's, circular in shape. One of the circles is stationary and you can drag the other. I'm trying to get the moveable circle to be able to move around the circumference of the stationary circle, but not overlap. I'm able to detect when they overlap, not using hittest. I just can't figure out how to code it so that the draggable circle can't be moved over the stationary circle. Any suggestions, comments, or help is greatly appreciated. Thx.

Circle-Circle Detection
I need some serious circle to circle collision detection. I used one from jobe makar, but I don't think it works for circles that are'nt both moving. Some of the variables are 0, so when it divides by them, it returns NaN. Anybody know any collision detection scripts? <--Sorry, I just wanted to put that in there
Circle Vs. Circle Ricochet.
I'm working on a game that involves circle vs. circle collision detection (More specifically moving circle vs. static point). I am able to project the circle out of the point but I have no Idea how the change the velocity of the circle so that it is physically accurate.
I whipped up a quick thing to Isolate the circle vs. point collision here.
Here's the script:
Code:
var GRAV:Number = .22;
var RADIUS:Number = ball.width/2;
var vx:Number = 0;
var vy:Number = 0;
var dx:Number = 0;
var dy:Number = 0;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
function enterFrame(Evnt:Event):void {
ball.x += vx;
ball.y += vy;
vy += GRAV;
dx = ball.x - dot.x;
dy = ball.y - dot.y;
if (Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy)<RADIUS) {
ball.x = dot.x+dx*RADIUS/Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);
ball.y = dot.y+dy*RADIUS/Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);
// I have no Idea what to put here to simulate ricochet
}
}
If anybody could tell me how I would manipulate the vx and vy variables that would be grand.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//mouse location along the x axis
xpos=_parent._xmouse;
//x position of this movie clip
center=_x;
//the difference between the mouse and this movie clip along the x axis
xdiff=(center-xpos)/200;
//percentage of maxSpeed
speed=maxSpeed*xdiff;
//update rotation property
_rotation+=speed;
}
