ActionScript 1/2 :: Make A Custom Eraser Tool Using Flash?
Sep 26, 2010
I did make a eraser tool. But once I begin to erase a layer, the background layer is visible. I want the layer just below the topmost layer to be visible.
For eg consider 2 layers. Layer2 is above Layer1. When I perform erase on Layer2, I see the stage background. I want to actually see Layer1 when I erase from Layer2.
Here is the code I used: The comment entry shows that, I have tried that possiblity.
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var linkageId:String = "myimage";
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(linkageId);
[Code]...

I am developing an application similar to MS Paint. I am building a Flash Paint application. The basic structure is this. I have two layers namely topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. The actual vector drawing is drawn on the top layer and onmouseUp of the tool, a bitmap copy of the vector graphics on the top layer is taken and added as a bitmap to the bottom layer. The top layer is cleared subsequently. It is working for the pencil tool.
Now I need to create an eraser tool. This is where things get tricky. In the application there is an option to save the image as png, so alpha has top be preserved. So the coventional method of draw a brush using the vector and using the draw method of bitmap will not work. Of course, on a visual level it would work if the brush drawn using the vector is to have the same color as that of the background. The eraser's are rectangular in shape.
The technique I am tring to use is to use the copyChannel method of BitmapData class. Specify a channels (say GREEN channel )hex value as 00 and make it as the source. Then make the destination channel ALPHA. I got it working without using movieclips as shown below.

Mac OS 10.4.11; Flash CS3.I cannot change the tool any more. It's stuck on the eraser. It doesn't erase anything, but I can't change it to another tool.I uninstalled Flash, preferences and all, and re-installed it, but the problem persists. Interesting is, my customized workspace is still there, even though I had all preferences and anything else that has the name "Flash" deleted.At the same time the computer opens both CD trays when booting up. Never did that before. So I re-installed the OS, but that didn't help either.

I have a requirement to create a drawing tool. I have completed till where on mouse down i can draw and on mouse up i stop the drawing. Now i want a eraser in place; something very similar to what is there in paint. So on mouse down of the eraser and moving over the line segment should erase the portion of the lines.

In the previous version, the eraser tool only erase things on the single current active layer, but then in CS4 (maybe it's just my problem), the eraser tool simply erase everything on the stage, no matter which layer they are in, except in locked layer.
Is it a bug for cs4 or hv I set something wrong or what?

I've made most of my application now, which allows the user to draw on a canvas, I'm just not sure on how I would go about creating a button which allows the user to switch to an eraser, or what code I would even use?

get the zip file which will be very helpfull. I made some screenshots in photoshop for help.
1). map jpg: That's the map
2). the map is covered with a black layer
3).the user changes (somehow) the _alpha property (before starting revealing the image) to -let's say- 60% and reveals with the eraser the path of the map up to some point.
4).the user sets the _alpha of the cover back to 100% in order to get the picture shown in the example.

In photoshop, you can create a path with the pen tool and then make that path a selection as if you'd used the lasso tool. How do you turn a pen path into a lasso selection in Flash (CS4)?

Open a video file embedded in the application.open some pdf files, preferably embedded in the application, but if it will have to open externally, it's no problem.Work in fullscreen on the user computer, with a minimum resolution of 1024x768. I'm thinking about a resolution of 1024x768, centered on a black background.
I was thinking of using Flash, but I don't have much experience, so if there is another easier IDE that creates a Flash application, I would prefer that.

1. How can I change the size of the brush tool? It's all greyed out on every project I start, stuck at the very smallest size (0.10). I'm trying to trace over a photo at the moment, and it's taking FOREVER with the tiny little brush. It only un-greys itself after I draw a line, but I can only change the size of the line I've just drawn. As soon as I go to draw a new line, it goes straight back to size 0.10.I'd use the pencil tool, because I can change that, but...
2. How do you make the eyedropper tool put your chosen colour into the pencil colour box as opposed to the brush box? Every time I use it, it forces me to use the brush. Which, because of the above problem, is ridiculously inconvenient to draw with in just about every situation.

Is there a way to make a bulleted list in flash with custom bullets? If so, can this be used from within a TextArea in Flex (mx.controls.TextArea) when setting htmlText?
For example:
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
The list above will render fine when set into a TextArea using htmlText (versus just setting the text property). The rendered text will have standard vanilla bullets. Is there a way to style these bullets with custom images, like you can in standard HTML/CSS?

I know how to make a webpage pop up out of flash that links to a certain site or whatever...
But can you put the HTML inside flash itself, so all the source is contained in the flash, and when you open the webpage, it will be generated as stored in flash?

So we have a component we have written ourselves that deals with text display and translation between languages, reading translations from a file. Ideally what we would like to do is have this component be compatible with any font we can embed in the main .swf's library. What's the best way to do that?
Currently we are going down the route of having our component have an attribute for the font name, lets say 'Font1'. We drag the component into the .FLA file we want and then add a new font to the library called 'Font1' and set it to the typeface we want. This is proving to be inconsistent and problematic which implies it's not really an ideal way of doing it.
Is there anyway to achieve the feature we want? The key is flexibility, we want to easily support languages (hence the component) but we don't want design to be limited in their font selection. Its not practical to embed a range of fonts in the component for example, as it adds to file size and is restrictive.
