Springs: Elasticity, Physics, and Flash MX - PROBLEM!!!!!

[flatline damnation]

Kirupa,
I read that tutorial and it all phat!
Except one thing:
How the hell do I attach the button to a stroke???
So when I drag it, it remains attached to the stroke and "streches" it...

Without that the whole effect is lost! Please advise!

[ilyaslamasse]

WTH is a stroke ?

i think he means the line that the ball would be connected to. in which case all you need to do is use scale.

[ilyaslamasse]

Yep.
I think there's a post somewhere where Sinf gives some good advice.
Btw, you impress me, Jubby. You're a better flasher by the hour. :D

yeah i'm finally getting into it more. Its very hard to balance school, flash, and women, cuz I love the last two, but I need to concentrate on the first one...:lol: So i do my schoolwork and then try to balance the remaining time with FLash and my g/f...and thanks pom.

[I am not Jubba]

[ilyaslamasse]

Yes, I did mean the line that connects to the ball.

Why can't Kirupa add it in his tutorial? Like I said, without it the whole point is lost!

[ilyaslamasse]

Well, as a matter of fact, I wrote that tutorial, thank you very much, but it wasn't supposed to deal with strokes, or lines or whatever you call it. Give me your mail and I'll send you a stroked version.

[ilyaslamasse]

****ed ! Mine said private, so I never even thought about checking. Ok, Jubby, I let you get away with this for this time, because of all the bad things I've said about you for the last few days.

[flatline damnation]

It looks weird... I ment that the ball is like placed on the middle of a line, and when the ball is dragged, then entire line is streched with it... I saw this effect somewhere... I'll post the link when I find it...

[ilyaslamasse]

Oh... that's not what I had understood... But it's not difficult to do when you have this.
Btw, I think that what you're refering to it a fla by Sinf that I still haven't understood, something called magnetic branches.

Beats me. I think the site that uses it is called something like "Flash University" but I don't remember correctly... Couldn't find it either...

[ilyaslamasse]

Could you explain exactly what you want to achieve?

[flatline damnation]

The ball sits on the middle of a line. When the ball is dragged, it remains attached to the middle of the line and the line streches with it, but the edges of the line remain in the same place.

This is the line with the ball:
|
|
0
|
|

This is when streched:
\
_\
__0
_/
/

(don't mind the underscores _ EZboard doesn't support unused spaces)

[ilyaslamasse]

I just sent it to you. But the lines are a little bit late, I don't know why...
