Hello
This is a tutorial from Newgrounds i found. I thought somebody might find this useful. What happens is that it loads pixels and they swarm around your mouse. It is realistic and really cool. I didn't write this code and do not take any credit of this. I have purely copied the code of a Newgrounds swarm tutorial and it works fine except the person who made the tutorial didn't mention that you have to change the identifier to "bugs" for it to work as you call on importing the bugs to the stage in the code.
This is the link if you want to watch it
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/325278 the code is
fly = function () {
this.animate = function() {
// Capture mouse positions and distance from mouse
this.targetX = _root._xmouse;
this.targetY = _root._ymouse;
this.distX = this.targetX-this.meX+this.flockX;
this.distY = this.targetY-this.meY+this.flockY;
//
if ((this.targetX == this.oldTargetX) && Math.random()>0.9) {
// add small scale random darting if mouse is still
this.flockX = (Math.random()*100)-50;
this.flockY = (Math.random()*100)-50;
} else if ((this.targetX<>this.oldTargetX) && Math.random()>0.8) {
// add large scale random darting if mouse is moving
this.flockX = (Math.random()*400)-200;
this.flockY = (Math.random()*400)-200;
}
// Apply inertia equation
this.meX = Math.round(this.meX+(this.distX)/20);
this.meY = Math.round(this.meY+(this.distY)/20);
// perform animation
this._x = this.meX;
this._y = this.meY;
// remember the current mouse pos so we can tell if
// it has moved next time around
this.oldTargetX = this.targetX;
};
this.initialize = function() {
this.targetX = 0;
this.targetY = 0;
this.distX = 0;
this.distY = 0;
this.meX = this._x;
this.meY = this._y;
this.oldTargetX = 0;
this.flockX = (Math.random()*200)-100;
this.flockY = (Math.random()*200)-100;
};
// set up onEnterFrame script to animate _parent...
this.initialize();
this.onEnterFrame = this.animate;
};
//
//
var i:Number = 0;
var bugClip:MovieClip;
for (i=0; i<30; i++) {
bugClip = this.attachMovie("bug", "bug"+i, i);
fly.apply(bugClip);
}
As i have said before this is not my work and don't take credit for it.
Enjoy.
