Flash :: Scripting Rotation ?

Could Someone Help Me With 3d Rotation Scripting?
Hi there, first time posting here...

I've been learning to use Flash MX for a couple of months and know that I now the basics I'd like to move into actionscript.

This might be a little advanced for me yet, but here it goes: could someone give me some advice on how to script a 360º view of a movie clip? Check the link below and the 360º view of the camera...

Scripting Rotation
Hi there! Please forgive me if I sound a bit like a newb, I'm still learning. I'm basically trying to create a combination lock that rotates around trying to find the shortest rotational route to the combinations <b>as</b> they're being punched in. I'm trying to setup the circular object to rotate between from -360 degrees to 360 degrees in order to find the shortest path possible between the numbers been punched in. However I'm trying to setup the circular symbol to be able to stop at certain degrees which has a numeral representation on the dial. I've included the file so you can see what I mean.

Scripting An Object's Complete 3d Rotation Around Point... Gurus?
I've been burning midnight oil for maybe three days now and im really no closer to cracking this thing. Everyone knows how to orbit an object around a point on a 2d path, right? (example at ftp://project732.ath.cx/orbit.html), using some triginometry (sin, cos) and a fake z coordinate that produces scale... Anyway, I want to create something that will allow the user to rotate the orbiting object to any point on the sphere defined by the radii in the given equation(ie, x=Math.cos(angle*Math.PI/180)*radius; //where radius defines the sphere's size). I've tried so many different ways and I've come to the conclusion that I may have to wait to actually take trig (im a sohpomore now... so lets see, thats a few years away), or teach myself (ack! without you guys? no way) the math i need to do it. Right now, im convinced I have to do something (mathamatically) that I haven't run into before and all my shinanigans in the meantime are a waste, until I run into the correct equation. What I'm looking for from you guys is a nudge in the right direction. In other words, HOW?? All I need to go on is a concept, I *think* I can figure the code out on my own, and id like to try anyway once I have an idea in my head of how to go about it. This is kind of a biggie (for me) so thanks a bunch to any out there that even try to tackle it. As always, suggestions/comments/opinions are welcome. Happy Flashing

Question About Scripting 3D In Flash... "Rotation Around A Common Center"
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the, "Rotation Around A Common Center" Tutorial Posted at the following link; http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...ion_center.htm

I was wondering if there was a way to load different movieClips at Different Points in the rotation, instead of having the same movieClip for all; and if so how?

Below is the AS.

Thanks in advance.

Rotation Script - Smooth Rotation
I have created a speedometer and on clicking a speed, I can get the needle to rotate around to the speed clicked, using _rotation.

However, the movement is very 'jumpy' and I would like to make it smoother, or better still accelerate/decelerate.

I have tried the following

Quote:

on (release) {
rotation_speed = 0.1;
if (speedo._rotation > -40)
{
do {
rotation_speed = rotation_speed * 1.1;
speedo._rotation = speedo._rotation - rotation_speed;
} while (speedo._rotation > -40);
}
else {
do {
rotation_speed = rotation_speed * 1.1;
speedo._rotation = speedo._rotation + rotation_speed;
} while (speedo._rotation < -40);
}
}

I want to get the needle round to -40, so whilst it is greater rotate is backwards, otherwise rotate forwards, starting with a small rotation and increasing (accelerate).

I found that this was still jumpy. Trying a negative causes Flash warning about script running for too long.
Rotating forwards (else) also overshoots the end position of -40

Any ideas on how to get the needle moving smoothly and finishing on the correct spot??

Flash 5 Scripting Vs MX Scripting
ok, I have this script on a movieclip called g_loader:

onClipEvent(load) {
loadMovie("contact.swf",this);
}

onClipEvent(data) {
trace(this.getBytesTotal())
}

this is how it would be written in flash 5, and it worked fine.

I tried to write the same thing using MX syntax:

g_loader.onLoad = function() {
loadMovie("contact.swf",g_loader);
}

g_loader.onData = function() {
trace(g_loader.getBytesTotal())
}

And it WILL NOT WORK!! Am I going insane? Why won't this work!!!????

Rotation At A Given Rotation Point In AS
Hey ya'll.
I was wondering on exactly how would you make an MC rotate with a given rotation center, using AS, obviously. I'd like to know the math behind it, please.
Using _rotation would make it rotate around the mc's center... i'd like to make it rotate around another center, one defined...

URL Scripting.
I've have a site made partly in flash.
And I have some buttons which are linked to other web pages.
My question is. Do i really need to specify the entire URL..the actual URL or can i just use it juts like that with the '/' or ''
all the pages are in e same folder including that of the page wit the flash component.
eg..the page name is ; Intro.htm
and therefore at the URL of go to ..do i have to type out the entire URL for eg. http://www.dunearnguides.scriptmania.com/Intro.htm
??

Thanks in advance..Cos i'm rather blurr on this..

Scripting Help
I'm working on a digital cv that has a pixelized version
of my face on it. As you roll over a series of button's the
relevant section of the face stretches out and will ultimately reveal a part of my cv.

The problem i'm having seem's to be with the way i've ordered or positioned the script. The script works if you roll over the buttons seperatly, but if you roll over all the buttons at once you don't get the desired effect of growing and shrinking. The script seem's to get confused or conflict with itself.

If anyone has a minute to help and look at my fla I could e-mail it to you and would be very grateful as it's almost there and is doing my head in.

Thank you

Scripting Can't Get It?
Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble getting an certain effect to work. I want to have something similar to the old 2advanced site what I'm trying to achieve is when a button is clicked I want a external swf to load in to main movie clip but while its loading I want these two doors to come in over whats loading behind the doors and stay there until the external movie is done loading. When the movie is loaded I want the doors to then open again! This is my code on the button.
on (release) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndPlay("open");
loadMovie ("members.swf", "membersload");
_root.introclip.membersload._x = -325;
_root.introclip.membersload._y = -179;
_root.introclip.membersload._yscale = 86;
loaded = _root.introclip.membersload.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.introclip.membersload.getBytesTotal();
if (loaded == total) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndPlay("closed");
} else if (loaded < total) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndStop("closed");
}
}
if anyone could help it would be great!

Thanks

SCRIPTING HELP
Can anyone please advise where I might be able to learn basics regarding Actionscript - preferably with a tutor based in London, UK. I have tried self taught tutorials but I need to fully understand the basics of variables, arrays etc. Without this knowledge it is very difficult to begin to understand the capabilites of Flash and it also takes me forever when scanning back and forth through the pages of books. I would prefer to pay someone to help me understand basic programming functions. Thanks in advance for any advice.

stopDrag();
}

Hi guys,
What I'd like to do is autodecrement a number and put it into a variable so I don't need to specify the amount of levels I have. But I can't seem to get the variable (i) working in the script above. What this basically does is pauses any movie clips that are playing in particular levels but I would like to set the _level so that it is automatically updated rather than type each individual level number and repeat the script.

Thanks again

Scripting Help?
Hello Board_

I am loading an SWF into another using the following action script :
________________________________

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Tree.swf", 200);
}
________________________________

I guess that to most, I'm being rather redundant in saying that this script loads "Tree.swf" to level 200 of my main movie.
The SWF loads in the Upper Left corner of my main movie.
How can I make it load to a position 150 pixels down from there?
I am not planning on changing the X-axis coordinates.
Any help would be great.

Best Regards,
KQ

Scripting Help
Is anybody out there can help me to figure out the script below? the script below is to control a car by the arrow keys, but this script only works when I put the car movie clip and the boundary movie clip on the main stage which is the _root.

What I want is to put the boundary movie clip on the main stage (_root.boundary) and the car movie clip put inside another movie clip called land (_root.land.car), but once i put the car and the boudary in a different place, the car will not stop when it hits the boundary.

i will really appreciate it if someone can help me on this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
// this script is to attach to the car movie clip.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// make the car go forward
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
speed += 1;
}
// make the car go backwards
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
speed -= 1;
}
// tells the car to slow down after the speed of 20
if (Math.abs(speed)>20) {
speed *= .7;
}
// you can change the rotation of the car to your desire
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation -= 15;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation += 15;
}
// here is where the hittest is for the boundary
speed *= .98;
x = Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/180))*speed;
y = Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/180))*speed*-1;
if (!_root.boundary.hitTest(_x+x,_y+y, true)) {
_x += x;
_y += y;
} else {
speed *= -.6;

Scripting Help
Hey all,

I am not very familiar with actionscripting. I am learning thanks to all of you in this forum. I have used in my movie the "loadmovie action" and everything works fine. Now the problem I have is that I have pictures that I want to click on (like a button) and have each picture become larger and center in the same movie. I have done some reading with the available tutorials that I can find and it is apparent (i hope I am right) that i need to introduce some variables. I dont know how to assign or even begin to start with variables. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

BTW I am using FLASH 5....

Thanks

Greetings all. I'm a new Flasher and I'm going crazy. Ok, maybe i'm already crazy from trying to make something work that doesn't. Here goes. I downloaded a file from Flashkit and don't know what I'm suppose to do with it to make it work. (DUH) It's action scripting but I don't know where to input the script in order to make it work. Am I suppose to put this in something like Frontpage or HTML or should I be putting it straight into Flash. I have the MX version. Am I way off beat or what. Many thanks for any feedback.

Help With Mx Scripting
OK, heres my mx scenario.
4 buttons on an oval motion path.
They need to rotate counterclockwise
on rollover (except if rollover is on whichever one is front and center.)
Whichever button is rolled over should be the one to stop front and center and could then be chosen to open a corresponding mc.
I can do this with a lot of keyframing and stop actions in the timeline, but i would like a more efficient scripting approach.
Please Help!!I posted this in the action script forum and no one has replied.!! Thanks!
heres a pic if it helps!
