James If you get hold of the brilliant animation package:
http://www.alex-uhlmann.de/flash/animationpackage/ You can use it to do stuff like this: [as] Stage.align = "TL"; Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; /* Note: you need to have all supplied folders, except the "docs" folder, located in the same folder like this .fla. The line APCore.initialize(); initializes AnimationPackage. See tutorial.htm. */ import de.alex_uhlmann.animationpackage.*; import de.alex_uhlmann.animationpackage.animation.*; import de.alex_uhlmann.animationpackage.drawing.*; import de.alex_uhlmann.animationpackage.utility.*; import com.robertpenner.easing.*; APCore.initialize(); // w = Stage.width; h = Stage.height; // points = new Array({x:10, y:10, rot:0}, {x:300, y:10, rot:90}, {x:300, y:300, rot:180}, {x:100, y:300, rot:90}, {x:100, y:400, rot:0}); path = new Array(); calcPath = function () { holder = this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", this.getNextHighestDepth()); holder.lineStyle(1); for (i=0; i<points.length; i++) { pt = points[i]; npt = points[i+1]; if (i == 0) { holder.moveTo(pt.x, pt.y); path.push({x:pt.x, y:pt.y}); } // if rot = 0 draw horizontally right if (pt.rot == 0) { // // is next point on same y axes? // // // is next point x greater than this x? if (pt.y == npt.y && npt.x>pt.x) { holder.lineTo(npt.x, npt.y); path.push({x:npt.x, y:npt.y}); } else { holder.lineTo(w, pt.y); path.push({x:w, y:pt.y}); //draw to edge return; } } // // if rot = 90 draw vertically down if (pt.rot == 90) { // // is next point on same x axes? // // // is next point y greater than this y? if (pt.x == npt.x && npt.y>pt.y) { holder.lineTo(npt.x, npt.y); path.push({x:npt.x, y:npt.y}); } else { //draw to edge holder.lineTo(pt.x, h); path.push({x:pt.x, y:h}); return; } } // // if rot= 180 draw horizontally left if (pt.rot == 180) { // // is next point on same y axes? // // // is next point x less than this x? if (pt.y == npt.y && npt.x<pt.x) { holder.lineTo(npt.x, npt.y); path.push({x:npt.x, y:npt.y}); } else { //draw to edge holder.lineTo(0, pt.y); path.push({x:0, y:pt.y}); return; } } // // if rot = 270 draw vertically up if (rot == 270) { // // is next point on same x axes? // // // is next point y less than this y? if (pt.x == npt.x && npt.y<pt.y) { holder.lineTo(npt.x, npt.y); path.push({x:npt.x, y:npt.y}); } else { //draw to edge holder.lineTo(pt.x, 0); path.push({x:pt.x, y:0}); return; } } } }; drawPath = function () { AnimationCore.duration_def = 500; AnimationCore.easing_def = Circ.easeInOut; var ln = path.length; var myDraw_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("draw_mc", 999); var myDrawer:Drawer = new Drawer(myDraw_mc); for (var i = 0; i<ln; i++) { var pt = path[i]; var npt = path[i+1]; var part:Line = new Line(pt.x, pt.y, npt.x, npt.y); part.lineThickness = 4; part.lineStyle(6, 0x0000ff, 100); myDrawer.addChild(part); } myDrawer.addEventListener("onEnd", this, "finishedPath"); myDrawer.animate(0, 100); }; function finishedPath(eventObject:Object) { trace("FINISHED"); } calcPath(); drawPath(); [/as] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of James Marsden > Sent: 07 March 2006 13:37 > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Bouncing laserbeam for game > > I haven't heard of that, but it sounds ace!
