I'm needing to find out what the angle is between perpendicular and the line described by (x,y) to Q. What angle is a? The reason is, I want to adjust the _rotation of a movieclip loaded so that _x = x and _y = y, to act as the following page mask. Cheers Jack 01:12, 27 Feb 2007 (NZST)
I realize this is still a work in progress, but are you planning on expanding the work to the other 3 corners? other languages such as hebrew and arabic, and chineese are read right to left, which would necessitate the page turning to be on the opposite corner(s)/edge. I typically turn pages from the bottom right, not the top right, so P would reside on line W in that case. if Y < .25(H), P resides on AB What about turning the page based on an entire edges as opposed to a corner? if Y is >.25 and < .75 then P = Q or something along those lines. --Phalseid 15:38, 23 Dec 2006 (NZST)
- and a cousin to this, a flipchart.... ?--Phalseid 15:42, 23 Dec 2006 (NZST)
Excellent! now you gotta merge them all down to a single function with x,y params ;-) --Nad 18:21, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)
- Not yet. The onMouseMove function needs to stay doing that particular fold until it is past a certain point, rather than switching to the opposite side folding function. - Jack 18:32, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)
- It would be best to reduce to the single fold first because the functionality you're talking about implementing controls the folding --Nad 21:31, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)
I've tested the html text in macromedia and they can rotate properly as long as the fonts are embedded - I haven't set font embedding up in our ming environment yet though, I'll have another look soon --Nad 15:37, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)
Looking good! --Rob 13:12, 23 Nov 2006 (NZDT)
That does the folding action all right :) (as you said) ... ta - Jack 19:44, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)
Actionscript looks pretty simple, strange way of typing variables, looks like they explicitly inherit from the type. Jack 15:38, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)
- I found actionscript quite hard. You can have a look at some of my experiments here: User interface concepts --Rob 15:43, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)
- Ouch! OK ... Ta ... I'm not going to be trying anything creative though, I'm just wanting to transition from one page to another at the mo, if I can do that I will be happy. Jack 15:49, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)
- It looks worse than it is. The moveable panels are drawn by hand using a simple function. Perhaps you can use that as the base of the page turn type animation.
