Rotating Stars

[icio]

Just a quick little thing that I was playing with it. It's very short indeed.

Mouse controls rotation speed along x-axis and alpha on y-axis.


Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

var cols:Array = [0xC2F44D, 0xB0E84B, 0x9FDC49, 0x8DD047, 0x7BC445, 0x6AB843, 0x58AC41, 0x47A03F, 0x35943D, 0x23883B, 0x127C39, 0x007037];

var stars:Array = [_root.createEmptyMovieClip("star_1", _root.getNextHighestDepth())];
star_1.i = 0;
star_1._x = 275;
star_1._y = 200;
star_1.lineStyle(0, 0, 0);
star_1.beginFill(cols[0], 100);
star_1.moveTo(0, 15);

for (a=0, r=15; a<=Math.PI*2; a+=Math.PI*0.2, r = 12+(12-r)) {
star_1.lineTo(Math.cos(a)*r, Math.sin(a)*r);
}

for (i=1; i<10; i++) {
stars.push(_root.star_1.duplicateMovieClip("star_"+i, -i));
new Color(_root["star_"+i]).setRGB(cols[i%cols.length]);
_root["star_"+i].i = i;
_root["star_"+i]._xscale =_root["star_"+i]._yscale = (i+1)*100;
}

function onEnterFrame() {
for (i in stars) {
stars[i]._rotation += (stars[i].i+1)*(_xmouse-275)*0.005;
stars[i]._alpha = 250 - Math.abs(_ymouse-200)*stars[i].i*0.5;
}
}

wicked man !!

PS - Finally I found my password... back to Kirupa after 1 year break :P

[DDD]

man this is just damn awesome.......i love it.

[icio]

Thank you very much, 3D.

Cool :)

sweet! green stars...

[Sinister Shadow]

Funky!

[McGiver]

I should be learning, instead I'm rotating your Brussels sprouts! lol
looks cool: Thums up :thumb2:

[FlashTECHY]

dat's really Cool!
wht can u ask more in 25 lines Code!!!:D

thanks for sharing!!

[icio]

Thanks, guys.

So simple, yet so clever, you got my vote. I love the little touches that allow the mouse to manipulate it, instead of just having a random (or not so) sequence.

[icio]

:D Thanks

i wish i could learn this stuff an easy way, i cannot seem to grasp te whole actionscript thing :upset:

[NiñoScript]

there's no easy way, sorry... just read tuts and ask here in the kirupaforums ;)

[McGiver]

if you prefer you can learn BF first, I heard there's even a compiler availible in flash ;) just kidding

[icio]

LOL

[fabiopb]

:shifty: lol

This is my favorite submission so far. The colors are very, very, well balanced. It also looks very organized and spurratic at the same time. Allowing for user control was also a very nice touch.
A simple idea. Excellent execution.Two thumbs up. :thumb: :thumb:
No wait, those are too small. :thumb2: :thumb2:

[icio]

lol. Thanks very much. That means a lot to me, I really like your work too :thumb2:

[Seb Hughes]

Wow that pwns :D

i wish i could learn this stuff an easy way, i cannot seem to grasp te whole actionscript thing :upset:
Buy a book, read the forums and experiment :)

[pom]

I like the colors and the way it moves :)

[SimplyArun]

I love it and as pom said the colors are awesome

[mlk]

very nice !

Thanks to all of those who participated, reading all these code is a great way to understand AS!

[logikal2]

amazing.

[Qued]

awesome...

[vega]

Awesome and inspiring..

I love the smooth transformations..very cool indeed. I have waayy long to go before coming up with anything even close but stuff like these will keep me wanting to learn more and more.:thumb2:

Nice!:kommie::thumb2::party:
