I've made a functions which creates rectangles:
function makeSquare(sgu:String,clo:uint):void {
var squ:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(squ);
[code]....
Now my problem is; that i'm from another function would like to make a call, that deletes a specific rectangle previously generated by the above function.
I have this big JSFL project I'm working on that involves deleting a raw shape (ungrouped) and then replacing it with another one. The problem is that the original shape doesn't always actually get erased (I haven't figured out the precise circumstances where this happens yet though). Even if it does get deleted, though, when I draw the new shape on the stage (using Path.makeShape), the new shape has extra vertices where its edges cross those of the original shape. So even if I end up with the correct-looking shape on the stage without the one that was there before, my shape I just created is likely to have extraneous vertices (and I need the vertices to be unchanged).
View 2 RepliesI am working in a complicated shape manuplation project. In that user can join 2 shapes , he can duplicate, he can delete a particular part of a shape ect;
In the following code copies a shape and adds to stage.
import flash.display.Shape;
var sh1:Shape = new Shape();
sh1.graphics.lineStyle(2,0x000000);sh1.graphics.drawRect(45,45,100,100);addChild(sh1);trace(sh1.x);trace(sh1.y);sh1.rotation = 45;
[Code]...
In this all the properties of sh1 copied except the rotation value. But i dont want to assign it directly like sh2.rotation = sh1.rotation;
I have a line that is being drawn following a route when a play button is pushed. At the end of the movieclip the whole route is shown with the beginning and end. How do I clear that line if the user hits play again? Right now it connects the beginning and ending points and creates another line on top of the old one.
Actionscript Code:
var shape : Shape = new Shape();shape.graphics.lineStyle( 4, 0x9C1E26);shape.graphics.moveTo( arrow.x, arrow.y );addChild( shape );addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop );function loop( event : Event ) : void{ shape.graphics.lineTo( arrow.x, arrow.y );}
I am creating a game in which bubbles with simple math equations are falling from the top of the screen, and you have to enter in the answer to make the specific bubble disappear. The only problem is that I need a system that can delete the bubble(s) corresponding to the answer. I'm using an Actions-Frame code and a mathBubble AS class. I will show the frame code first.
stop();
var cooldown:int = 200;
var cooldownMax:int = 200;
inputAnswer.restrict = "^A-Za-z";
[Code].....
Reading the code is not completely necessary, I was just wondering if anybody could explain how I could use arrays to remove every child with the same answer as the randomized answer each child contains through variables "mathAnswer" and "mathAnswerString"
i have an XML like
var test:XML = new XML( <record id="5" name="AccountTransactions"
<field id="34" type="Nuber"/>
</record>);
i want to remove all the attributes other than id and type in all nodes of XML. by this code i am unable to do this. can you suggest better solution, other than loops.
var atts:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(test.descendants().attributes().((localName() != "id") && (localName() != "type")));
atts.removeAll(); trace(test)
it still show all attributes.
I'm looking for a jsfl function that can select all items on a frame and delete all strokes that match a specific color such as #0000ff
Basically I make a lot of notes with the pencil tool using red pencil strokes. But when Im done I just want to tell flash to delete all my red stokes from the screen and leave everything else intact. Any solutions to this?

I'm currently using a script I picked up from these forums to attach movieclips from the library based on how many child's there are in an XML document.I was wondering if it was possible though, to have each movieclip placed in a random location on the stage; but restrict that random location to a SHAPE I draw? For example if I drew a giant star, and wanted the movieclips to randomly attach anywhere within the boundaries of the star?
I know there are methods of restricting the random placement by using x and y values to keep it below or above a certain line, but is it possible to restrict placement within custom drawn shapes?
Here is the script I'm using atm:
Code:
function loadXML(true) {
if (true) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
title = [];

Array of color id-s represents a 3D Array of values. I've represented each value with a color(Blue is 1, Red is 2 and Green is 3). So for the example the array for the image would be:
ActionScript Code:
var myColorArray:Array = [];
myColorArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[code]....
Now, I have an array of predefined shapes/objects. I'd like to replace the grouped colors with the shapes that I have. I'd like this to follow the rule of finding the largest shape first and then down to the smallest one.Now let's assume that the L shape is A, the Z shape is B, the third one is C and the last one is D. Now our new Object array would look like:
ActionScript Code:
var myObjectArray:Array = [];
myObjectArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[code]...
I've never used the drawing function on Flash and I followed the fairly simple tute on it just recently. Is there any way to confine the drawing area to a specific shape. Mine's a rectangluar shape that's rotated. You can download my FLA with the background image here > [URL]. I'd like to try and keep it confined to the notepad area. I think it might be a hitTest thing with if/else. My other thing would be to just rotate the notepad so that it's straight. Even still I'd like it confined to the area beginning with the corner of the notepad, not the corner of my movie.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash ecard that I am working on and had one of those "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments!
I would like find out if it is possible to:
1) load in an xml file that contains several names
2) Load each one of those names into a predefined movie clip which would display the name
3) randomize the placement of each name in a given shape area so that the Movie clips with names would randomly fill in to make a specific shape.
How can I crop letteraly crop a part of an imported image into a specific irregular shape that already exists on the stage as a MovieClip... a jigsaw puzzle piece for example ? (it would be prefered not to use masks).

I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Base extends MovieClip {
public var baseHP:int = 50;
var newRect:Shape = new Shape();
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Shape. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Shape. What does it mean by "undefined method"? I am somewhat of a newby, so sorry if there are any stupid errors
Whenever I add shape hints to a shape tween the shape disappears in the between frames. I am using CS5 on Vista. I using files from [URL]to practice.
