How can I create funcionality like pen tool with actionscript 2 or 3, which I can then use in my flash app? Searched the web, but did not find any good source.
The main goal is to select a first point(moveTo), and then using lines creating a shape(for example a triangle). So when the first and the alst point are the same we are done "drawing"[code]...
I am on Page 80 of the Flash Professional CS5.5 Bible by Wiley Publishing. I am running Windows 7 and I want to find the "Tools" folder to add a the Grid tool to my Tools. I cannot find it. Is there a way to get the Grid tool functionality without the Tools folder?
View 1 RepliesI would like to recreate the flash selection tool's functionality. To clarify, I created a drawing program that uses the drawing api. Now if a user draws a circle, I would like them to have the ability to stretch and mold it like you can in flash by hovering close to the edge so the ) cursor shows up.

My on-staff architect can create photo-realistic renderings of our different models. The question is how would I go about substituting materials for different parts of the home. Would I start with a base model with no textures applied and then have each of the textures or colors applied? Would this be acheived using masks?

View 18 RepliesI have been following several tutorials on how to create a file upload tool, from: [URL] and best off all I have exhausted google and Adobe labs... and I magically have a tool [URL] (left button: browse, right button: upload). Maybe it's a security thing? but my images are just not uploading!? I have fed all information through the text box - which should give you an upload status when you click upload - at least it does on the computer, just not on line. How to check for security or how to interpret the results. Although most of the code I have used is from adobe labs, it has been copied and pasted but not in a lazy fashion, I have learned a lot about the upload tool as I've gone along... well I thought I did, but this is one heck of a brick wall!?

I'm trying to create tool tip rollovers for buttons, a little bubbled message that pops up and follows the cursor while the cursor is ontop of a button. Kinda like the tooltips in windows, instead it moves. Hope that makes sense. the problem i'm having is creating a loop within the rollOver event so that the x/y co-ords for my tooltip movieclip updates each time the mouse moves is there any other way of doing this? here's what i have so far
[Code]...
the problem with what i have now is that the tooltip movieclip doesnt continue to move along with the cursor while on rollOver

i'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.
The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.
Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this.
I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.

So why does the Adobe Alchemy Tool create so much faster running flash byte code than the flex compiler?
Also, when will the flex compiler be able to make similar performance gains? Will it require programmer specific use of special Array's or something of that nature to get the same performance?

I'm trying to convert an swf or fla to iether .flv, .mov, .avi.I have tried a lot of converters, but none retain the swf interactivity. In fact it seems to me that all they do is convert frames. Most of my movie is on one frame.
View 1 RepliesI do know how to use the oval / rectangle and oval / rectangle primitive tools in the tool bar and find them quite useful, but one thing I find confusing is. A oval / rectangle primitive object can be edited later but the oval / rectangle can't. So the point is,how do we use them properly ? when to use ? Why does Adobe Flash still keep the oval / rectangle tool in their product instead of removing them with the oval / rectangle primitive tool ?
View 2 RepliesI've struggled to get my animation working the way it is currently and now the functionality has been requested to change and quite frankly I just don't think I would be able to work it out as I'm not a Flash developer.[URL]It's a sliding image gallery. There are 13 images and when you roll your mouse over an image a set of filters are applied (to the movieclip wrapping the image) that gives it a glow/drop shadow effect.The images move based on the mouse position.
1. The animation still needs to move on the mouse position, but also the when the animation loads it should automatically move in one direction (images moving left across the stage) but when the user rolls their mouse over the animation then the mouse position takes control. Once the user rolls their mouse away from the animation then the images need to keep moving in the last direction (at a set speed)
2. When the user rolls their mouse over an image it needs to get bigger - but wont some of the images then overlap, so each movieclip would then have to dynamically move to the top of the stack to make sure they overlap the other images correctly
3. The animation needs to loop!?
What is the difference between set and get functionality?
View 1 Repliesis there any library for Action Script 3 that allows my AIR application to function like a version control (svn or cvs or something similar) client?
I just want to use the download functionality. my app relies on some folder and file structure that may change through updates and it'd be great if i could simply manage a subversion repository online and the application would automatically sync it's filestructure to this repository.
Is there a way besides pasting frames inside a layer to add an element into a timeline? I'd like to replicate the addChild functionality from actionScript into JSFL. So basically, I'd like to add a bunch of movieClips instances into another movie clip, does anyone know how to do this in JSFL?
View 1 RepliesI am not sure if this is even possible so this is why I am asking. So you know how we can access a nested movie clip by name with the following code:
mainMC.getChildByName("nameOfMC");
I was wondering if it is possible to do the same thing with XML data. So for exaple:
xmlData.house would be mainMC.getChildByName("house");
(obviously I know that getChildByName doesn't work for XML and am looking for an equivalent command)
