[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!!

Spinning Wheel
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?

Spinning Wheel
i'm in need of help.
how do i create a spinning wheel in mx?
there is a button where the user will spin the wheel.

the colors should land in different location in the wheel in each instance.
thanks for this forum

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

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

Help With Spinning Wheel
good day to all!

i need help regarding spinning a wheel, similar to wheel of fortune. it's a drag and rotate script. i have to admit, i copied senocular's script with this. now the problem is when i drag the wheel from right to down, it rotates fine. but from right to up, the wheel does not rotate fine. i just need to drag the wheel from the right side. thanks!

Spinning Wheel Help
hi there, I'm after a spinning wheel with easing similar to the one seen on

http://www.laterooms.com/

theres quite a few source codes around but much simpler and less realistic than the one seen here, does anyone have a source file or code similar i may take a look at for some inspiration?

the only difference to the one seen here is i also need a button to spin it as well..

any help would be well appreciated!

cheers

Spinning Wheel For Quiz
I need to create a spinning wheel that contains numbers that spin & stop at a number where a question will appear to the side of the wheel and the user will be asked a multiple choice question. If the answer is correct he/she will recieve points and if the answer is wrong he/she will lose points.

I have experience in graphics and animation to create the interface. What I am in need of is the code to create the spinning wheel and the code to the adding and removing of the points.

I have an example of what I'm in search of at this URL:

http://www.quickcompliance.net/qcsam...io/course.html

Once there click on Conclusion to see the file. Also the wheel spins do not stop at any particular number in any particular order.

Spinning Wheel Problem - AS2
Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how to stop the onEnterFrame function on this spinning wheel script. I can have it rotate the wheel while arrow button is pressed, but when the wheel stops, the onEnterFrame function still performing the "slowDown" function. How do I stop it? Here's the script attached on the 1st frame

Thanks.

-------
function spinWheel(myTarget) {
whell_rotation = 0;
myRandom = 0;
//Optional allow press of wheel to spin.
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

};
function slowDown() {
myTarget.onEnterFrame = function() {

Pseudo-3D Spinning Image Wheel
I am trying to locate an open source script similar to the pseudo-3D spinning image wheel animation found on
http://flashkit.com/movies/3D/Pseudo...6077/index.php
But what I am looking for is continuous movement of the images and as one image rotates to the front it zooms out then in as it rotates around.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me the script or tutorial if possible.

Randomly Spinning Game Wheel?
Hello Everyone,

I am trying to create a game wheel that has properties similiar to the one made famous on "Wheel of Fortune". A wheel that randomly spins and once stopped, the selected region will output a multiple choice question. A simple little quiz game. Maybe not simple enough...I'm stuck!

I thought I had it, my graphics looked great; however, it turned out that it wasn't as random as I thought...Now I'm pulling my hair out and decided to get the help of some experts. Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Actionscript 3 Random Spinning Wheel
Hello everyone,

I am new here and i am looking froward to learning a lot of AC3 from you all,
however i need some help i am trying to make a wheel of fortune type of game where when clicked it will randomly spin and land on whatever number. my problem is i have the code but its AS2 and i am only 3weaks into AS3 here is the code below can anyone convert it or write some new code? thank you in advance

Code:
function spinIt() {
var mc = this;
if (!mc.spinning) {
mc.spinning = true;
var easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut;
var spinTime = Math.min(12.2, Math.max(2.12, ((getTimer() - mc.startTime) / 100)));
var endRot = Math.round((spinTime * 360) + (Math.random() * 360));
myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_rotation", easeType, mc._rotation, endRot, spinTime, true);
myTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
mc.spinning = false;
//trace("done");
};
}
}
wheel.spinning = false;
wheel.onPress = function() {
this.startTime = getTimer();
};
wheel.onRelease = spinIt;

Spinning Wheel / Hittest After The Spin...
Hi,

I'm stuck on a script. I've included the fla so you have a better understanding of the issue.
Basicly, what I'm trying to do:
When the point of the arrow ends on a certain color, I just want to load another swf.
So, when the wheel stops spinning it has to do a hittest (I've placed 4 square mc's above the colors as reference). However, not able to manage it .

Edit:Updated & cleaned up the fla. The script is located on the spinner2_mc. So far I've managed to get a hittest but not after the wheel stops.

Is somebody able to help me out here?

Thanks in advance!

Need To Update A 'Spinning Wheel' Script From AS 2.0 To AS 3.0.
Hey guys!

I need some help in transforming a script from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0. I'm busy for school making some small game in which I use a spinning wheel. I really like this script, only it's written in AS 2.0. Can anyone help me transform this into AS 3.0? I'd really appreciate it!

Spinning Wheel In Actionscript And Stopping It Randomly
Hello everyone,

We are working on a project that involves a "wheel of fortune" type turning wheel. We got the wheel running off of a button, but you have to click the button to stop it. I would like to remove the button and have the wheel slow to a stop after maybe 8 seconds.

This script has been driving me crazy, and I would so appreciate somehelp. The script is below, and you can see an example of the flash here:

http://fscproductions.net/wheel/tester.htm

Thanks for the help in advance.

***The CODE***

stopFactor = .9;
startFactor = 1.1;
minSpeed = .1;
maxSpeed = 20;
speed = maxSpeed;
stopping = false;
//
function spin(){
this._rotation += speed;
}
function stopSpinning (){
stopping = true;
speed *= stopFactor;
this._rotation += speed;
if(speed < minSpeed){
speed = minSpeed;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
trace("stopped spinning");
}
}
function startSpinning (){
stopping = false;
speed *= startFactor;
this._rotation += speed;
if(speed > maxSpeed){
speed = maxSpeed;
this.onEnterFrame = spin;
trace("spinning at full speed");
}
}
//
// You need 2 clips on stage
// Spinner and MyButton
Spinner.onEnterFrame = spin;
MyButton.onRelease = function(){
if(stopping == false){
Spinner.onEnterFrame = stopSpinning;
}else{
if(speed<1) speed = 1;
Spinner.onEnterFrame = startSpinning;
}
}

Syncing Repeated Sound With Spinning Wheel..
Hey guys,

I have a wheel of fortune style game with a wheel spinning and an arrow which should make a sound everytime is passes a slice of the wheel. Im using the Fuse & ZigoEngine to do the tweening. I currently have the sound being made and it works well reguardless of how fast the wheel is spinning (the sound speeds up and slows down with the wheel).

The problem with the approach that I am using is that the actual rebert penner easing equation function is doing the checking for when a condition is true to make the sound. I have tired capturing an onTweenUpdate event from the ZigoEngine but it seems as though its never accurate when the wheel starts spinning fast because the code in the event listener cant keep up with the wheel speed. Also when I use the event listener all i can access is the _rotation property and then I run into having to deal with the rotation going into negative space as opposed to the easing function which just puts out the current total rotation at that current point in the tween.

Basically what I am looking for isnt a specific answer of how to do something but maybe some thoughts and oppinions on how I could do this without having to invade the actual easing equations, It just isnt very OOP or organized in my oppinion to have to do that.

So with that... what experiences if any has anyone had with spinning a wheel and sending out events when the wheel is at certain points in its rotation? Has anyone done this before or does anyone know of any examples of something similar. Any suggestions of how I could do this differently?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi there, i want to make a menu thats horizontaly spinning in 3D but i dont know how to achieve this. I want the objects to spin around a centerpoint (centerx)

I've rendered out all of the necessary frames view an object a full 360 degrees. What I'm struggling with is code to make my movieclip spin. When I say 'spin', I actually mean make the playhead move to make it look like my object is spinning. I would like to use the cursor movement that Canon
(http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/con...4&modelid=7512) uses in there product section which is basically if you move your mouse to the right, the object spins to the right. If you move your mouse to the left it spins the object left. I have seen this effect done on numerous sites, but the code is eluding me. I have been able to make my object spin by pressing a button, but that is only one way....

Thanks in advance....

Hey everyone im new here and I hope you can help me

Im working on something where I need to make an object spin by using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard. Something like the spinning in this:

I think it was answered in this thead

http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7586

..but I cant seem to find the attachment link.

So to summerise basicly an action script to make an object spin left or right depending on the keys you press. As you hold it down the faster it will go.

If anyone could help that would brilliant!

Thanks in advance.
