Curve Tracing (Cardioid)
Author: williama
Let's add the scripts.
1. Create a layer on top of the motion guide and name it actions.
2. Put the following:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("cardioid",1);
_root.cardioid.moveTo (225, 65.3);
//The first line creates an empty movie clip that where we will trace our cardioid curve.
//The second line initializes the starting position of our curve.
3.Right click on your moving circle and place the following script
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
point = new object();
point.x = this.point_to_trace._x;
point.y = this.point_to_trace._y;
localToGlobal(point);
_root.x=point.x
_root.y=point.y
//The above script changes the local coordinates of point_to_trace to the global (stage) coordinates
//and stores them to the variable x and y on _root.
