[Flashcoders] Keep pane facing camera in 3D (Five3D specifically)
Hi all, I am at the tail end of a project done in Five3D after doing a few different ones in Papervision and I am stuck on a fundamental feature that I hope someone who payed attention in math class (which I didn't) could help me out on. I am doing something that has movement similar to WP-Cumulus, i.e. items placed around a virtual globe, with each item always facing front when that globe is rotated. I know papervision had something pre-built for this type of thing, but Five3D doesn't, so I suspect I may have to get tricky with some maths to keep all panes facing front. Anyone know where to start on this?, currently, if I spin the globe on it's Y axis, and turn each item on that globe but the inverse of its rotation, and works fine around that axis alone. Throw in both x and y rotation at the same time though and things go a little skewy. Any help would be most appreciated and will earn me a couple of hours extra sleep :) Cheers Adam ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Keep pane facing camera in 3D (Five3D specifically)
Eeek, I tried this / ran into the problem. In PV3D, you generally move the camera around the world / objects. In Five3D you move the world or the objects around, which behaves completely differently. I tried unsuccessfully to integrate a 3D camera - borrowing some of the ideas from the PV3D one. I think you apply a transform to the entire world based on your camera distance from 0,0 and 2 of your angles - I lost all my bookmarks for it, but I remember Ralph Hauwert - UnitZero one did some maths to make 3D rotations work avoiding gimbal lock, e.g. when you rotate one axis upside down, the direction of rotation for the 2nd axis relative to your mouse movements flip. This does not happen with a camera. I will have a look later when I get home to see if I can find some more stuff if you are still stuck.

Why would the planes rotate if they are not children of the globe?

Hi John, Each plane is attached to the globe, so if I rotate the globe alone, the children move with it hence I see the back of the planes etc. ... what I want is to be able to keep the front of the planes facing the user at their correct perspectives, very similiar to this (although not related in nature at all): http://www.logicnest.com/archives/132 Cheers Adam John McCormack wrote: Why would the planes rotate if they are not children of the globe?

Re: [Flashcoders] Keep pane facing camera in 3D (Five3D specifically)
As this is a FP9 project, I suspect it may require Five3D, however if there is a reasonable solution with z-depth it might be something that could be considered, just not to sure on where to start for the maths on this aspect of it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Keep pane facing camera in 3D (Five3D specifically)
Looks interesting: http://www.logicnest.com/archives/132 In PV3D there is a function to lookAt() an object. As the objects rotate with the globe you can tell them to look at the centre of the globe. I couldn't find the right maths on the five3D site.

Re: [Flashcoders] Keep pane facing camera in 3D (Five3D specifically)
Yep John that's pretty much the effect we are after, lookAt() is the method I was trying to think of in PV3D, thanks for the reminder, but like you, finding an five3D equivelant considering it doesn't have cameras as does PV is proving impossible for a typical API end user like myself, I will have a poke around the lookAt function of PV though to see if it gives me any hints.

Re: [Flashcoders] arranging
The display list is managed as a stack. New items go on top when you add them by default. So the first item you added will have index 0. If you addChild() again, the new child will be at index 1. If you want to get the topmost child, you can do: container.getChildAt(container.numChildren - 1); Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2010/4/28 Lehr, Theodore ted_l...@federal.dell.com ok - so I am trying this: var curChild=getChildByName(e.currentTarget.namehttp://e.currenttarget.name/ ); var curIndex:int=getChildIndex(curChild); trace(curIndex); and it seems as though it is counting from the back up... so if I have 12 mcs, then the one no top will trace 12...

they're being stacked, first one is zero, second is 1, so the top one has the highest depth. addChild (getChildAt(0)); brings bottom one to top, just tried it in the IDE, works like a charm.

New items go on top when you add them by default. So the first item you added will have index 0. If you addChild() again, the new child will be at index 1. If you want to get the topmost child, you can do: container.getChildAt(container.numChildren - 1); Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2010/4/28 Lehr, Theodore ted_l...@federal.dell.com ok - so I am trying this: var curChild=getChildByName(e.currentTarget.namehttp://e.currenttarget.name/ ); var curIndex:int=getChildIndex(curChild); trace(curIndex); and it seems as though it is counting from the back up... so if I have 12 mcs, then the one no top will trace 12... I would think the one on top would be 1 I would love to just set it to 1 to make it come to the top and then reset it back to it's original number to put it back any thoughts From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [ flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Nathan Mynarcik [ nat...@mynarcik.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 1:51 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] arranging Will getChildIndex and setChildIndex not work either for static objects? -Original Message- From: Lehr, Theodore ted_l...@federal.dell.com Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:38:39 To: Flash Coders Listflashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] arranging the issue is that these are mcs that are NOT put there in as but in the IDE I tried getChildIndex and it says that this is for display objects - not static objects... any way to change order with static objects?

This is also the part of the program where we discourage explicit references to root, as it will break if the swf is ever loaded by another swf, etc. etc. On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 3:52 PM, Henrik Andersson he...@henke37.cjb.netwrote: Nathan Mynarcik wrote: stage stage!=root as I always say.

Root is always the main timeline of the swf file the code comes from. It is not always the first swf file. AS 3 acts like as 2 did with lockroot enabled. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] gapless looping of external mp3's
I'm new to the list. Does anyone have experience with gapless looping of external mp3's in Flash? I'm having probs with it. I read http://www.compuphase.com/mp3/mp3loops.htm . There's even a section in there about gapless looping in Flash. But I'm not sure how old that page is and if there are better methods now than what's described there. I have done some previous work with gapless looping, but it was all in Director, such as at http://vispo.com/nio and http://vispo.com/jig/arteroids . I'm just learning ActionScript now. ja ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
