  Basic as3 IK puppet skeleton 

  This is a basic “humanoid” puppet using the IKMember from this post.

  Even thou it works more or less for what i want, a lot of limitations are evident: setting different distances betweens different neighbor anchor points or making some of them static

  Inverse Kinetimatics for as3 

  I’ve trying to create an animated puppet with a skeleton that i can “pose” in flash. After some research i found out that to accomplish my goal i had to use something called Inverse Kinematics.

  I don’t really understand the math behind it that well, but i used this tutorial made for as2 to create my own IKMember class, pretty much just copying it but translated to as3. This is my first attempt at the simplest of skeleton puppets : a Snake

  Here’s the source code (IKSnake.zip)

  PWButton as3 class 

  I often use MovieClips as interface buttons. I’ve put together a class to save myself some time on this task.

  The PWButton class takes a MovieClip and turns it into a fully functional button with some time-saving features:

  • you can use the ‘data’ property to store and retrieve information, such as a parameter for later use on a function
  • enable() and disable() methods, easily turn the PWButton on and off much like the SimpleButton.enabled property.
  • you can set the roll over, down, and disabled states using frames within the target movieclip.

  example swf:
