I'm trying to make the red ball(ball_mc) stay in that line between a1 & a2
and I want is position to be relative to the mouseX,MouseY in a perpendicular way(90 degrees).
please help!
here you go.
Can you give me some code example.
a and b are the 2 endpoints of the line segment, point is the center of your circle. you'll have to import flash.geom.Point.PHP Code:public static function getClosestPointOnLineSegment( a:Point, b:Point, point:Point ) : Point
{
//vector pointing from a to b
//all valid points on the given line segment satisfy a + diff * t for 0 <= t <= 1
var diff:Point = b.subtract( a );
//vector pointing from a to point
var pa:Point = point.subtract( a );
//project the point onto diff- divide by the squared magnitude of diff to solve for t
var t:Number = ( diff.x * pa.x + diff.y * pa.y ) / ( diff.x * diff.x + diff.y * diff.y );
//working with a line segment, ensure t doesn't exceed legal limits
t = Math.max( Math.min( 1, t ), 0 );
return new Point( a.x + diff.x * t, a.y + diff.y * t );
}
the link realMakc posted should be sufficient to understand the algorithm.
thanks, sorry, I'm new with the package thing.
I saved your code in ".as" file as linear.as

any help.
if you're just writing the function in Flash, lose public and static (just keep function)
newblack of course you do realize that by giving code you do not help... /unsub
I learn better in actionscript.
that's pretty insulting considering i tried my best to comment the code such that it explains why and how it works...Quote:

THANKS NEWBLACK!
you want the ball to change as the mouse's x position changes.
ball_mc.x=mouse.x;
but you want it in-between a1 and a2 which are have pixel locations, that you can find.
a1.x=pixel location#
a1.y=pixel location#
a2.x=pixel location#
a2.y= pixel location#
Your code may have somethig like this.
if(mouse.x<=a2.x){...}
else if(mouse.x>=a1.x){...}
else{}
Also, you may want to look at slope intercep form of a line:
y=mx+b
Google it
You can work out the bugs of this. I did it quickly:
var p=element ("dot");
var p1=element ("point1");
var p2=element ("point2");
//y=mx+b (equation of a line)
//slope = rise/run
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, move)
function move(evt:Event):void
{
var slope:Number = ((p2.y)-(p1.y))/((p2.x)-(p1.x))
p.x=mouseX
p.y = slope * p.x +400
}
the "+400" part should vary
