Re: [Flashcoders] seeking :: Oscillating SineWaves via Drawing API -let's get some some fun
Here is a slight modification: What will be next steps? If you want smoother curves and fewer points, and can wait a bit (I'm pretty busy today), I've written some code a while back that will convert a sequence of points into a smooth cubic bezier curve. IIRC, curveTo uses quadratic beziers, but the same principle should apply pretty well. If you can't wait, then check out the matrix form of Catmull-Rom splines.

Re: [Flashcoders] seeking :: Oscillating SineWaves via Drawing API - let's get some some fun
Here is a slight modification:
What will be next steps?
var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip( mc, 11);
onEnterFrame = function ()
/*
t - time
(x,y)
*/
{
var t = getTimer()/1000; //100
var x0=0, x1 = Math.PI*10;
var imax = 100;
var xy = getData( this, myFunction, x0, x1, t, imax);//
drawLine (mc, xy);
}
// --
function myFunction ( x, t)
{
return x*Math.sin(x*t)
}
// --
function getData ( this_o:Object, func:Function, x0 :Number, x1 :Number,
t:Number, imax :Number) :Array
{
var x, dx = (x1-x0)/(imax-1);
var xy = new Array ();
for (var i=0; iimax; i++) {
x = x0 + i*dx;
xy[i] = {x:x, y: func.call( this_o, x, t)}
}
return xy;
}
// --
function drawLine ( mc:MovieClip, xy :Array)
{
mc.clear();
mc.lineStyle(0, 0, 100);
mc.moveTo( xy[0].x, xy[0].y);
var imax = xy.length;
for (var i=1; iimax; i++)
{
mc.lineTo( xy[i].x, xy[i].y);
}
}

its quick and its dirty but it should give you something to work with :
for(var n=0;n3;n++)
{
var sinewave:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(sinewave + n,n+1);
sinewave._y = 100;
sinewave.phase = n * 10;
sinewave.frequency = ((n + 1) * 5) / 50;
sinewave.amplitude = 60 - (n * 10);
sinewave.speed = (n + 1) / 5;
sinewave.heightDeviation = Math.random() * 30;
sinewave.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this.phase+=this.speed;
_root.drawSineWave(this,this.phase,this.amplitude + (Math.sin(this.phase)
* this.heightDeviation),this.frequency);
}
}
function drawSineWave(mc:MovieClip, phase:Number, amplitude:Number,
frequency:Number)
{
var numPoints:Number = 80;
var width = 550;
mc.clear();
mc.lineStyle(2,0,100);
var y:Number = Math.sin(phase * frequency) * amplitude;
mc.moveTo(0,y);
var dx:Number = width / numPoints;
for(var x=0;xnumPoints;x++)
{
y = Math.sin((phase + x) * frequency) * amplitude;
mc.lineTo(x * dx,y);
}
}
you can just stick this into the first frame of an .fla
let me know if you need some explanations.
thanks,
Martin

[Flashcoders] seeking :: Oscillating SineWaves via Drawing API
sorry for the repost but.. im a bit under the gun...and i looked EVERYWHERE! i need a drawing api function or fla that can produce multiple flowing sinewaves. the waves should be random in oscillating and appear to be flowing organically. please help! thanks artur ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] seeking :: Oscillating SineWaves via Drawing API
Could could just draw a few sinewaves, duplicate them at different yscale, etc. and then have them loop? Is it supposed to fake something in particular or just some random sinewaves? Multiple non-changing but differnet waves? Or is it 1 wave that needs to change a lot?
