ActionScript 2.0 :: Connect Two MovieClips With Line When Selected
Aug 14, 2006
Ive made a movie in MX where so far I have a group of movie clips that are loaded to random locations on the stage.
What Im trying to do now its make it so that when 1 of the movie clips is clicked, and then a 2nd is clicked a line will be draw between them (to connect them).
Here's what i'm working with:
[AS]
for (var i = 0; i<5; i++) {
this.attachMovie("test", "test"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mc:MovieClip = this["test"+i];
[Code].....

So, I have a simple connect the dots game working by drawing lines. The line is drawn when clicking the right dot.However I want to be able to let the user be able to see the line and the line moves to any dot but only draws if clicking the right one.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
line.lineStyle(2,0x000000,100);
dot_array = ["d1", "d2", "d3", "d4", "d5", "d6", "d7", "d8", "d9", "d10","d11","d12","d13","d14"];

I have various instances of a movieclip spread across 3D space. The user is able to navigate across the 3D space using the mouse or the arrow keys - I've used a style similar to the old school first person shooter games. Some of the objects on the stage are related so I want to connect them with a line to show their relationship. As all my objects are dynamically created through AS at runtime the relationships also need to be dynamically generated. As the user navigates around the 3D space the line between the objects needs to get redrawn.
In a 2D world I'd use the drawpath or moveTo/LineTo methods to join the movieclips and have a function on the onEnterFrame command of the 3D space to keep redrawing the line.However since this is a 3D world I need to take into account the z location of the movieclips as well as the x and y locations.how I could do this or even point me in the right direction to get started?

I have 4 movieclips and I want to be able to track which one is selected or not, something like this:
I start with 4 unselected MC
I click on mc1 and a trace message says MC1 selected I click on mc1 again and a message says MC1 unselected I click on mc1 and a message says MC1 selected I click on mc2 and a message says MC1 and MC2 selected
I click on mc2 again and a message says MC1 selected and MC2 unselected
etc etc
I was looking at some arrays but I don't think I got the picture yet

I am having some trouble drawing a line between two movieclips. One of the movieclips is moved with the arrow keys. The line is created between them, but every time the movieclip moved another line is created. I would like only one line to connect the two movieclips. I am trying to create some sort of "AI." When the line hits a wall, then there isn't a clear line of sight. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveguard);
function moveguard(event)

UPDATE: Now I've moved the AMFConnection var declaration to outside the functions in Main, and commented out some trace() commands, and now it gives new errors:
Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.BadVersion
at AMFConnection/init()[/Users/Jan/Downloads/amfphp1/AMFConnection.as:32]
at AMFConnection()[/Users/Jan/Downloads/amfphp1/AMFConnection.as:23]
[code]...
I'm trying to connect to AMFPHP on a server (with Flash AS3), and the swf borks when it reaches the .connect() stage. To make things easier (?) and more reusable (?), I've put all the NetConnection mechanics into a separate class, AMFConnection, which I call from the Main document class like this (details changed):
public function testConnection(e:*=null):void {
var conn:AMFConnection = new AMFConnection();
conn.table = "some_table";
[code]...
AMFConnection actually starts the connection and calls the AMFPHP service with the function gogogo(), and here's where the connect() NetConnection function just won't work. Here's the main section of the AMFConncection class
private var _netConnection:NetConnection;
private var _responder:Responder;
function AMFConnection()
[code]...
It also fails to display the stage, instead showing the loading dots. Now, eventually I'm going to move this application to the same server as the AMFPHP service, but even when I try it there with a relative url, instead of an absolute one, it still breaks down at connect(). I've tried changing the publish settings from local only to network only, to no avail.

I want to be able to position a series of movieClips along a curve of a cicrcle, well part of it. Basically I need a curved wall.
This is where I am at the moment, ...not very close.
_root.rot = -30
for (var i:Number = 1; i < 6; i++) {
var block = attachMovie("block", "block_" + i, _root.getNextHighestDepth())
block._y = 30

Is there any way to disable a few columns for a particular row in flex datagrid?
I have a datagrid with about 10 or more columns, say for example a few column names are: Item Id, Item Name, Item Status and VerifiedState. Initially I want the column Verified State to be disabled.
Now When the value of the column, Item Status is Review Passed for a particular row, I want the column VerifiedState to be enabled and editable. Is that possible in Flex datagrid.

I've a movieClip called "picChange" and inside that movieClip, there is another movieClip called "picFrame" and inside that movieClip there are three movieClips called "HolderL1", "HolderL2", "HolderL3". I use these 3 movieClips to attach movieClips(questions for game) from library. I put movieClip inside movieClip to add some animation while it loads. I used following code:
for(var i:int = 0; i<3; i++) {
var pic_mc:String = "picLeft" + ranque[i];
var que_mc_class:Class = getDefinitionByName(pic_mc) as Class;

I'm trying to work out how to create a simple demo that works as follows: A ball falls from the top of the stage.Player is able to draw a line anywhere on the stage. The ball will bounce/roll along the line such that the player can guide it at will. I don't think the coordinate rotation will be a problem for me but I can't figure out how to transform a line drawn by the player into a hit detectable sprite -- or realkly any way that I can get those line coordinates into my coordinate rotation routine. To keep it simple, I'm just working on the first part of the problem, getting the line to where I can hit test or know its position.Here is my code so far:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code]........
It always traces 0,0 instead of my current line coordinates - and even those I don't think would be sufficient.

in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.

I'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.

I am trying to dispatch an event but not sure when I should do it to get the right results. The first event "submitClicked" is in the right spot and works great. However, the second event "dataReady" seems like it might be a problem. I need it to be dispatched after this.compiledFormData is set.Does AS3 wait for each line of code in a function to be executed before moving on to the next line?

I am using Flex 4 and AS3 and I am trying to make it so that the user can draw a freehand line with the cursor - I have this part done.However, I also need the line to be a dashed line instead of one solid line like it is now. below is my code I am using. I have found some examples on how to do this, but they are all for straight lines, not for a freehand line.

When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?

I need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.
I am using flex 4.5.

I am developing a white board application which allows the user to draw line with arrow head (some like Microsoft Word line with arrow feature). I am using graphics property along with lineTo() method to draw a line. Now i have to draw a angular arrow on the last point of line. I am drawing the arrow by connecting the points around last points. As 360 line can pass through this point and each line can have a different angle of arrow.

I need to read a large CSV file (8-15 MB) and generate a LineChart in Flex AIR. Since Chart need data in structurd format like XML. When I read CSV and convert it to XML object 8 MB file size become 24 MB XML object and not able to graph.
Best solution is to read Line by line and read only part of data. How can I acheive this in Flex AIR ? Is it possible to read line by line in Flex.
Otherwise what are the best ways to draw a graph in FLEX using large data.
