1. Distance Between Two Points
dx = x2 – x1; dy = y2 – y1; dist = Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
2. Inching Formulas
sprite.x += (targetX - sprite.x) * easing;//easing: inching coefficient sprite.y += (targetY - sprite.y) * easing;
3. Elastic Formulas
vx += (targetX - sprite.x) * spring; //spring: elastic coefficient vy += (targetY - sprite.y) * spring; sprite.x += (vx *= friction); //friction: friction force sprite.y += (vy *= friction);
4. Flexible Partial Shifts Formulas
var dx:Number = sprite.x - fixedX; var dy:Number = sprite.y - fixedY; var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy, dx); var targetX:Number = fixedX + Math.cos(angle) * springLength; var targetY:Number = fixedX + Math.sin(angle) * springLength;
5. Rotation With Mouse Formulas
dx = mouseX - sprite.x; dy = mouseY - sprite.y; sprite.rotation = Math.atan2(dy, dx) * 180 / Math.PI;
6. Waveform Formulas
public function onEnterFrame1(event:Event):void { ball.y=centerScale+Math.sin(angle)*range; angle+=speed; }
7. Heartthrob Formulas
public function onEnterFrame1(event:Event):void { ball.scaleX=centerScale+Math.sin(angle)*range; ball.scaleY=centerScale+Math.sin(angle)*range; angle+=speed; }
8. Circle Rotation Formulas
public function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void { ball.x=centerX+Math.cos(angle)*radius; ball.y=centerY+Math.sin(angle)*radius; angle+=speed; }
9. Get Circle Area
public function getArea():Number { // The formula is Pi times the radius squared. return Math.PI * Math.pow((width / 2), 2); }
10. Get Circumference Ratio
public function getCircumference():Number { // The formula is Pi times the diameter. return Math.PI * width; }
11. Elliptic Rotation Formulas
public function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void { ball.x=centerX+Math.cos(angle)*radiusX; ball.y=centerY+Math.sin(angle)*radiusY; angle+=speed; }
12. Color operations
var t:uint=0×77ff8877 var s:uint=0xff000000 var h:uint=t&s var m:uint=h>>>24 trace(m);
13. Hex to Decimal
trace(hexValue);
14. Decimal to Hex
decimalValue.toString(16);
15. Pick Up Color
red = color24 >> 16; green = color24 >> 8 & 0xFF; blue = color24 & 0xFF; alpha = color32 >> 24; red = color32 >> 16 & 0xFF; green = color32 >> 8 & 0xFF; blue = color232 & 0xFF;
16. Color Bit Arithmetic
color24 = red << 16 | green << 8 | blue; color32 = alpha << 24 | red << 16 | green << 8 | blue;
