3 Questions

Question nr 1.

Hope the picture helps to understand. I'm not much of AS so....I got 5 rings attached to a line by their pivots. The line's two ends are attached to cursor and the red point. The line should move and change its length according to the posistion of the cursor. I now want the 5 rings to move on top of each other or move away from each other as the line changes its length. How to do that?

Q nr 2

My sounds keep going out of sync. How to prevent that.

Last but not the least, Q nr 3

I got a 1 sec sound loop and I wasnt it to keep looping for about 10 seconds. Do I need 10 keyframes, or is there a different way???

Q#1: You'll need AS if you want it to follow your mouse. What kind of AS code? Not sure, you may have to find that out on your own.

Q#2: Change the sound properties of your song/sound from Event to Stream.

Q#3: Click on the sound in the timeline, and open up the properties menu. You'll see an item in the bottom right that says Repeat. Just put in the desired number and it will repeat that many times.

Like....doh....I could really use the code

[xWELSHxDRAGONx]

a huge clue with regardes to the code

ball1._x=origin._x-((origin._x-_xmouse)*0.
2)
ball2._x=origin._x-((origin._x-_xmouse)*0.
4)
ball3._x=origin._x-((origin._x-_xmouse)*0.
6)
ball4._x=origin._x-((origin._x-_xmouse)*0.
8)

ummm...but how do I use that code? After taking a look at that I was still clueless how does this code make the rings to attach to the line and the line attach to cursor and the point

Here's my take on #1 assuming you're already using trig (ie: you know the angle of the right triangle being created by drawing a line straight down from the mouse and then over to the origin of the line), I'll give you the concept you figure out the actual code:

Pythagoras taught us that the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the square root of the sum of each side squared...(if you're not following me at this point, don't bother completing your project because you won't be able to)

So, you should know the length of the two sides based on the mouse's x and y distance from the point the line is originating. So, figure out the length of the hypotenuse of your triangle using the Pythagorean theorem mentioned above.

Then divide that length by the number of circles you have. So let's say the hypotenuse is 100 px and you have 10 circles, then there should be a circle every 10 px along the hypotenuse.

Since you know the angle (in radians), you can then calculate what the circle's x and y values should be for every 10 units along the hypotenuse (ie: a hypotenuse with length 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100) using Math.cos() and Math.sin().

Voila.

Ya know, I'm a n00b at AS....I didn't understand a damn thing you said except the part about his theorem

[Shinki]

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1000);
line.onMouseMove = function(){
with(line){
lineStyle(3, 0);
moveTo(30, Stage.height-30);
lineTo(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse);
}
}

There's your line.
