xml buttons for quiz

Having a dynamic textfield for the XML data interfered with the button below.


Solution 1: Creating a mask on top of the dynamic text field.
Problem: The button animation wouldn't play.


Solution 2: Insert the dynamic fields into the button and alter the code accordingly.
Problem: This method was giving errors and the XML data could not find the text fields.


Solution 3: disable the mouse option for the test fields
theText.mouseEnabled = false;

It works!

Working Code - Main.fla

What works:

stop();

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

Trigonometry for animation

Computers have a lot more affinity to radians

1 radian = 57.2958 degrees

6.2832 radians = 360 degrees

π = 3.1416

2π = 6.2832 radians = 360 degrees

360° = 2π

180° = π

90° = π/2

Rotation property of a sprite / movie clip is measured in degrees

Radians for angle

Degrees for rotation

Formula

radians = degrees*Math.PI/180

degrees = radians*180/Math.PI
