my footer

[saint cleve]

i think my footer is stoopid...this is here so i can check up on it as i update!!!

if you see the robot come back...consider yourself lucky...i would stare at it for hours and it wouldn't come back:*( ...oh well...

enjoy

[kh3mical]

It doesnt come back because if ur doing random movement u have to specify the dimensions of ur movie, aka Hight and Length
If dont specify them its never gonna come back!;)

[kh3mical]

take a look at my footer for example, i have specified the hight and length for mine, so they never go off the footer!;)

[replode]

saint cleve, for some reason i liked your first footer better, i guess its just me. the new ones cool though.

[saint cleve]

do you meant the one with the robot holding the soda???

[saint cleve]

ok...chemical...will you tell me how to make it so my robot comes back!!!

[kh3mical]

actually its kh3mical not chemical and yes i can!

but b4 i can tell u, is ur footer based on random movement?????

[saint cleve]

yeah...it is...sorry about the name mess up...wont happen again

[kh3mical]

lol, i was just joking ;) call me what ever u want!:)

ok.

i use this code for random movement,

all u gotta do is just copy and paste the code into your ur actions box on the 1st frame

function getdistance(x, y, x1, y1) {
var run, rise;
run = x1-x;
rise = y1-y;
return (_root.hyp(run, rise));
}
function hyp(a, b) {
return (Math.sqrt(a*a+b*b));
}
MovieClip.prototype.reset = function() {
//specify the width and height of the movie
width = 300;
height = 200;
//-------------------
var dist, norm;
this.x = this._x;
this.y = this._y;
this.speed = Math.random()*4+2;
this.targx = Math.random()*width;
this.targy = Math.random()*height;
dist = _root.getdistance(this.x, this.y, this.targx, this.targy);
norm = this.speed/dist;
this.diffx = (this.targx-this.x)*norm;
this.diffy = (this.targy-this.y)*norm;
};
MovieClip.prototype.move = function() {
if (_root.getdistance(this.x, this.y, this.targx, this.targy)>this.speed) {
this.x += this.diffx;
this.y += this.diffy;
} else {
this.x = this.targx;
this.y = this.targy;
if (!this.t) {
this.t = getTimer();
}
if (getTimer()-this.t>1000) {
this.reset();
this.t = 0;
}
}
this._x = this.x;
this._y = this.y;
};

THEN

copy and paste this code on the robot's actions box (right click on it and go to actions)

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
move();
}

in the big code ive put in a section which wont affect the code but it tells u where to specify the lenght and hight of the movie!

so there it is!;)

[kh3mical]

lol ive been spelling height wrong!! ive been spelling it hight, instead of height. LOL ;)

[saint cleve]

sweet...thhanks this much
<[-------------------------------]> times infinity!!!

[kh3mical]

lol, no problems ;)

Can u show me when ur done???

[saint cleve]

yeah...let me upload it to my server...and then check it out

[saint cleve]

i made the bounderaies larger than my footer...so the bot can go off...just now it has a better chance of comming back

[kh3mical]

sweet ;)

U look pretty good at drawing!

Possible if u could draw me an avatar, Check out my Povo home made 1!!!! ive already made a post asking some1 have a look if ur interested! www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=250810#post250810

[kh3mical]

uuuuuummmmm, its not showing up, is it supposed to yet?

[saint cleve]

ummm...i just now re-uploaded it...

[saint cleve]

maybe i should put another bot on it!!!

[kh3mical]

lol, wats with the password stuff?

[saint cleve]

oh...that just leads to another part of my footer...if you guess the password correctly...you go to it...no big deal...if you wanna mess with it..the pasword is "grewn stefani" without the quotes

[kh3mical]

"invalid password"

[saint cleve]

oh sorry...gwen...not grewn

[saint cleve]

its stoopid...i dont know what to put in it

[kh3mical]

lol, u could really teach me some stuff!!

Im pretty much a n00b at everything that involves interactivity,
im only good at making poor animations, eg like my footer, how gay is it?!!! me=n00b at interactivity!

[saint cleve]

meh...i do what i can...thanks tho...so...do you think i should add another bot???

[saint cleve]

maybe i should make two robots fight...that would be sweet

[kh3mical]

yeah, but it would be pretty complicated, are u sure ur up to it?

[kh3mical]

btw ur footer would have to have maximum size, 300 wide and 60 high

[saint cleve]

why would i hafta change my size of the footer...and hells yes im up for it!!!

[kh3mical]

well to have 2 robots fighting, it would probably need more room!;) considering especially if these robots are as big as buildings! :)

[saint cleve]

nah..i will just make em small and have em run towards eachother and one will knok the others head of...then i will have a replaybtn...

[kh3mical]

lol. get rid of the password box as well. it blocks the view! :);)

[saint cleve]

oh..ok...but yeah...i just drew the bots....check it out

[kh3mical]

uuuummm cant see them!;)

[saint cleve]

well...maybe try to reload the site or something...cause that worked for me

[kh3mical]

lol it works now, nice job!, u candraw really good really quickly nice job!

[saint cleve]

[saint cleve]

[kh3mical]

lol, omfg thats awesome buddy!;):) nice job!!!

PS im doing a magic 8 ball and i wondered if u could tell me how to do buttons, eg, enter, but intsead of enter, one saying "shake"???

[saint cleve]

hmm...im not exactly sure...maybe you could have something go as a random...you know what i mean...when your viewer shakes it...you can have teh action go to and get random something...i dont know...somewehre in the lines of taht...ask the actionscript people...im not all that good with that kind of stuff...sorry

[kh3mical]

lol, no all im saying is when u press, shake, it goes to a certain point in my movie where the i have allready made the shake animation, then it has a premade msg that comes up!

[kh3mical]

wat program did u use to make that pixel man, its awesome
;):)

[saint cleve]

i made the pixel dude with photosshopr 7.0...and i dig the new footet...also...just have it for your buttons actions:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(put your frame number here);
}

[kh3mical]
