Mirrored Circular Motion in AS3

Mike T. Henderson — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:33:39 +0000

This experiment illustrates the angles of circular movement in Flash, while mirroring those angles on the opposite side of the circle. I have two mirrored movements here. The first movement being a Sprite that mirrors the mouse’s position on the opposite side of the circle, while snapping to the boundaries of that circle. Then a [...]

Random Bubbles in AS2

Using the Sine Wave formula from the previous post, I created this random fizz. import flash.filters.BlurFilter; // init vars var SW = Stage.width; var SH = Stage.height; var clips = 35; var minScale = 10; var maxScale = 100; /* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INIT ANIMATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- */ initAnim [...]

Sin Wave Floating Motion in AS2

Mike T. Henderson — Wed, 23 May 2007 13:37:01 +0000

This is an example I made playing with Sin Waves to create a random floating motion. The formula I used breaks down like this: this._x = MiddlePosition + Math.sin(angle) * RangeAmount; angle += speed; What this does is it gives me a range of motion that continually loops. For example, if my MiddlePosition(Starting Point) is [...]
