FOSS: string from mouse

[reelbigcheese]

FOSS: main

i was bored so i decided to make an AS topic about somthing, but then i couldnt be bothered to explain the code so i decided to make a foss XD.
this is a toally api string that will follow the mouse its pretty cool try it out =P

var hyp:Number = 20;
// change this number to change the length of the string
var speed:Number = 15;
/* change this number to set the "gravity" put it to 0 and you can make somthing like string avoider!*/
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("point1", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
point1.moveTo(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("point2", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
point2.moveTo(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("point3", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
point3.moveTo(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("point4", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

you can find a sample on the experiments page of my site its called "kinematics examle" (click my sig)

doesn't work, and it isn't very optimized

[reelbigcheese]

i forgot to mention this, put the whole code on the frame

it does work ?! i just copy and pasted the code from here into a new document and it worked fine. try again.

you really should have done that with point objects, not movieclips.
it works, which is a plus, but not very well. nice try though...

i dont know how to do point objects lol, i only started learning kinematics like 3 days ago

yep !

but not very well.

no commment

nice try though...

thanks XD

USE A FOR LOOP FFS >: (

Seriously, didn't I teach you for loops?

And AB, I think objects for this would be a waste of time =\

lol yeah i thought about doing it that way, but its too late now meh!

i misworded that. a multidimensional array would be best.
you arent going to sit here and tell me that a bunch of MCs is the way to go...

an array is an object

AS2

var hyp:Number = 5;
var speed:Number = 15;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 0);
var points:Array = [];
for (var a = 0; a<50; a++) {
points.push([_xmouse, _ymouse]);
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
points[0][0]=_root._xmouse, points[0][1]=_root._ymouse;
line.clear();
line.lineStyle(3, 0, 100);
line.moveTo(points[0][0], points[0][1]);
for (var a = 1; a<50; a++) {
points[a][1] += speed;
angle = Math.atan2(points[a][1]-points[a-1][1], points[a][0]-points[a-1][0]);
points[a][0] = points[a-1][0]+(Math.cos(angle)*hyp);
points[a][1] = points[a-1][1]+(Math.sin(angle)*hyp);
line.lineTo(points[a][0], points[a][1]);
}
};

AS3

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.events.*;
public class Kinematic extends Sprite {
public var hyp:int = 5;
public var speed:int = 15;
public var line:Shape = new Shape();
public var points:Array = [];
public function Kinematic() {
for (var a:int = 0; a<50; a++) {
points.push([mouseX, mouseY]);
}
addChild(line);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
}
public function enterFrame(event:Event):void {
points[0][0]=mouseX, points[0][1]=mouseY;
line.graphics.clear();
line.graphics.lineStyle(3, 0x000000, 100);
line.graphics.moveTo(points[0][0], points[0][1]);
for (var a:int = 1; a<50; a++) {
points[a][1] += speed;
var angle:int = Math.atan2(points[a][1]-points[a-1][1], points[a][0]-points[a-1][0]);
points[a][0] = points[a-1][0]+(Math.cos(angle)*hyp);
points[a][1] = points[a-1][1]+(Math.sin(angle)*hyp);
line.graphics.lineTo(points[a][0], points[a][1]);
}
}
}
}

The AS3 one has a bug but I can't figure it out, anyone care to help an idiot out?

A single dimensional array would be even better speed-wise but not structure-wise, seeing as an array is a complex data type.

Btw, that level 9 icon looks very sexy on you, almost makes me want one too. I barely have time for voting/depositing these days anyway.
