Box2D Forums

i am using flash pro cs5.5, and WCK latest from github... and i can't get setTransform to work as expected...

So i am working on a simple catapult game where i am launching a ball via a box(the catapult arm) thats on a spring joint.. i can launch the ball fine, i have skinned the ball, etc...

when the ball stops moving, i am checking if it's awake like so :
wrld.ball.bdy.IsAwake() /// btw i have setup bdy like so , public var bdy:b2Body = b2body in the Box class i am extending...

so when the ball stops rolling around, i want to put it back to the starting point so it can be relaunched...
i am doing this :
wrld.bl.bdy.SetTransform(new V2(ballX, ballY+10), 0);

i had set the ballX ballY vars earlier in the script like so :
var ballX = wrld.bl.bdy.GetPosition().x; /// returns -0.6666666865348816
var ballY = wrld.bl.bdy.GetPosition().y; /// returns : 9.945833206176758

my problem is this,
after i call the SetTransform method, the ball moves to where i want it to go, BUT the ball is FROZEN,.
i cannot drag it, nor does it fall and react to gravity anymore.
Please can anyone assist me here, or know of a better way to do this?
i am not the greatest at physics for game development, but i am very well versed in oop, and as3.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
thanks.

well thanks to some more searching, gojohnnygo's post further up in the forums, i have figured it out like this...

wrld.bl.bdy.SetType(0);//make static
wrld.bl.x = -40;
wrld.bl.y = 590
wrld.bl.syncTransform();
wrld.bl.bdy.SetType(2);//make dynamic

and all is well. ball gets teleported back to where i want it, and drops right back in place.
my apologies for the "duplicate" question, when the answer was already around.... and i had even read that post earlier, but i hadn't understood it, due to the fact that originally i was not working with the body, but the shape instead....

Cheers.
