Hello Keith,

This is an astonishingly good post and fantastic working example…

Would you be willing to post a link to the source code for this, as it would be most appreciated?

Kind regards,

Comment on Find Intersection Point of two lines in AS3 by Calculating the Distance from a Point to a Line in AS3 | Bacon and Games

Calculating the Distance from a Point to a Line in AS3 | Bacon and Games — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 01:04:32 +0000

[...] again I’ve built on a handy function written by Keith Hair that finds the point of intersection between two lines. Using his lineIntersectLine() function and my getPerpDistanceFromLine() function you can calculate [...]

Thanks to Chris B-B for making it clear to me about a bug in the as_seg part, and preventing future headaches this might have caused me.

Michael,

I plan to release a swc. If there is any complicated/dynamic user interaction needed for a knob/dial I think it’s best to roll out a custom one specifically for a project. User interaction is one thing, then there is look-n-feel that can be just as complicated. Just for ticks itself, there are so many crazy ways a person could want there ticks markings arranged. I’ve only covered the functionality and look-n-feel I needed. Building a knob with overridable methods and being skinnable would help in some of those areas I think.

I did not use Degrafa but If a person was aiming to make a “knob of all knobs”, Degrafa is probably the best utility for making all the dynamic styling and drawing possible while keeping your script organized and clean.

Keith – I just rolled my own dials utilizing Degrapha, but it doesn’t even come close to your dials. Too bad the release date for the project was a couple of weeks ago. Are you releasing a swc?

Hey Keith,

you might want to check out as3-reflect which is part of the as3commons library, it provides a simple API for the XML reflection data:

Comment on Cylons vs Terminators by Joacim

The Cylons do have battle cruisers and stuff, so they could simply blow the Terminators to bits from orbit…
