I looked up a new elastic code for flash 8 however it folows the mouse and that is not what i am after, I have tried to fiddle with the code a bit but to no avail. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to make a movieclip use the elastic function and make it dragable. I want the movieclip to stay where you release the mouse and bounce accordingly.
I tried to find my last post to follow up on the help i recieved regarding the calculating distance within a moving movie clip, but i could not find it. I wish kirupa had a search for the forums.
Here is the code for the elastics i am using:
// ELASTICITY PROTOTYPE
// Created on the 20th Nov 2006 by DV81
//
// This can be extended further but made it for people who don’t want
// to use the tween classes and want raw math for more control.
// Note also I know there are 1 million ways to skinning a cat, but I spent almost all
// day trying to figure this out to work with Flash 8 who knows might come
// in handy for someone. Enjoy!
MovieClip.prototype.elastic = function(accel, friction) {
this.dX = 0;
this.dY = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.dX = (this.dX * friction)+((_xmouse - this._x) * accel);
this.dY = (this.dY * friction)+((_ymouse - this._y) * accel);
this._x += this.dX;
this._y += this.dY;
// This is added to save resources you can delete or comment out if you
// need continuous movement.
if(Math.abs(this.dX) < 0.01 || Math.abs(this.dY) < 0.01){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
//
}
}
// USAGE
// Simply create a movieclip dynamically or manually then call ‘elastic’ function
mc.elastic(0.1,0.9);
I use a basic “this.onPress and onRelease” type of approach when calling the object but it does not seem to be cooperating no matter what i replace the xmouse and ymouse with.
Help a n00b out?:drool:
