I am trying to dynamically draw a circle and fill it up with some color. Drawing a circle is pretty easy job for me, but fill it up with some color seems not happening today.
PHP Code:
Circle function starts
function fnDrawArc(mc,x,y,r,angle){
mc.beginFill(0xFF0000); // this is not working....
mc.moveTo(x+r,y);
for(i=1;i<=angle;i++){
[Code] .....
How can I dynamically change the color of fill for something created like this:[code]I'd like to change the fill color onRollOver, onRollOut, onRelease, etc., but I don't know which property to refer to.[code]
View 8 RepliesI am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
I`m working on a app that you can draw lines.....like circles, rectangles... my problem is when a user draw a circle for example....i wanna be able to paint (change color) inside of this circle. I`ve tried working on Shapes with cacheAsBitmap = true and Bitmaps with BitmapData but it doesn`t seens to work.
View 4 RepliesI draw a shape with the pen tool in Flash CS4. I made sure the shape was closed. But, I cannot fill the shape no matter what. Paint bucket tool does not work. Whatever I do, I get the red diagonal line on the fill color. I can fill a shape with the rectangle or oval tools but not the pen tool.
View 7 RepliesLet's say i have a simple app where on mouse move user draws a shape. What i am trying to accomplish is to detect if drawn shape is circle so was wondering what would be the best or easier way to do that?
I believe i should do some math based on every drawn point X,Y coordinates but i need a push in right direction from more experienced people around.
I'm trying to draw a gradient in Flash using beginGradientFill and drawRect, but when the rect being drawn is partially outside the bounds of the parent, the gradient isn't drawn at all.
For example, consider the code below:
function testGradient():void {
var g:Graphics = container.graphics;
var width:Number = container.width;
var height:Number = container.height;
[Code] .....
When the rectangle being drawn lies within the bounds of container, everything works: However, if the rectangle lies outside of the bounds of the container, the gradient isn't drawn at all. For example, if the code is changed to:
...
var x:Number = 10;
var y:Number = 10;
...
Then the gradient disappears: Short of doing the math required to draw the box inside the bounds of the parent (and fixing up the gradient so it looks correct), is there any way to deal with this?
my current situation maybe akin to me painting myself into a corner. i have many vector shapes drawn with the Flash Professional CS5 IDE, which have been converted into sprite objects and exported to actionscript. for example, here are 3 shapes:
i want to programatically fill each shape with a bitmap from my library. i realize i can fill these shapes with library bitmaps in the IDE, but i need to scale the bitmaps at runtime as well as swap them out for others. how is it possible to programatically bitmap-fill shapes drawn within the IDE at runtime without having to also programatically redraw them?
I feel like I am not 'getting' something very simple here:I have a bit of AS3 which uses a loop to draw X number of circles which are placed as data points on a 2-dimensional line graph:
Code:
var circleSize:uint = 10;
var line:Shape = new Shape();

I'm working on a project for a client, they want a simple drawing api which requests the user to draw a circle, or a shape on screen. The circle is then analyzed and a Score/Percentage of correction is returned. The drawing I have covered, how to assess the drawn circle against a perfect circle?
My first idea was to put invisible trigger points around the circumference of the shape and check for hit tests when the user is drawing. Another would be to track the dimensions of the left, right, top and bottom most bounding box and then find the radius, or something to that effect.
I am trying to draw a line from x1, y1 to x2,y2 and i want it to be a line that repeats a pattern from an image. All I can see is that you can only draw lines and change their color or thickness but I would like it to repeat an image. Is that possible or do i have to use a really long and thin rectangle with a bitmap fill?The problem is I am making a game where the user will be able to actually draw the line so i have to make it be created dynamically. The game fantastic contraption [URL] has in the game a feature where you draw lines of any length and position that are filed with a picture.
View 13 RepliesHow can I make the color from a mc, a square with a flat fill, fade from one color to another (by using actionscript only) ?
View 4 RepliesHoping someone can point me in the right direction with this. Instead of creating a button and nesting movie clips for each state, I'm trying to script an animated button of a square (no fill) where on rollover the stroke color changes from one color to another (tweening the tint). I want to do this to the button symbol so it's the same for all instances. Is this possible or do I have to go the button > nested MC route? Sorry if this is lame...it's been awhile since I've used Flash and I've forgotten quite a bit.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to make a timer and I want a circle that is always shown.It starts out green.As time progress' a growing red pie slice begins to occupy more and more of the circle until the entire circle is red.The restrictions are that I can't use sprite, so it would have to be done with UIComponent or some other format. Additionally, I can't use degrafa. The SDK I am using does not support these methodsMy only hold back is that the SDK I am using does not support rotation, but I think I can make this all work.For others that can't use sprite, just substitute UIComponent where sprite is.I am pretty sure rotate is the only way, but is it possible to make it start at the 12 o'clock position without rotate?
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a way to change stroke color via AS3. The objects I would like to change are created with flash professional. They do have a fill.

View 1 RepliesI have a graphic symbol of a circle that has a radial gradient fill of yellow to red. All I want to do is have it change from yellow to red to red to yellow. I tried the advanced color settings but that doesnt quite do what I want. With the color settings.. it changes the complete tint of the object. I want it to look like it is tweening the gradient not the object. So if the object had a yellow center with a red outer edge I want it to chenge to a red center with a yellow outer edge. How do I accomplish this?
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to build a circle using lines. each line starts in the centre of the circle and is as long as the circle's radius. using a loop along with sine and cosign waves, i can build the circle using the sine and cosign to mark the coordinates of the lineTo parameter.
my problem is with the line thickness parameter of lineStyle. i would like the ends of the lines to match up perfectly, no matter how big the circumference of the circle, but i can't figure out a proper method for the line thickness.
//this is what makes sense to me, but it still creates some gaps
lineThickness = 1 + (((nRadius * 2) * Math.PI) - 360) / 359;
for(var i:int = 0; i < 360; i++)
[code]....
to make the ends of the lines meet up at the circles circumference, without any gaps, i need to widen the lines to fill in the space that's remaining. what makes sense to me, but doesn't work, is to subtract the 360 from the circumference, then divide that number by the amount of empty slots between the lines (which is 359) and adding that number the the thickness of 1.
what's concerning me is that the lineStyle thickness parameter is a Number, but seems to take only values between 0 and 255, so i'm not sure if a floating point number like 1.354 is a valid thickness.
In a flashfile I have a cirkel and the user shal fill the circle with different parts.
Code:
var t = attachMovie("fifth", "fifth1"+counter5_1, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
cirk1Array.push(t);

View 4 RepliesI've created a colour palette and given each colour a unique number and name (E.g. V123 Plum, V456 Ruby). Also the colour names is being loaded from a mysql database.
When the name of the colour is loaded in to a dynamic box , I want to fill an object in that colour.
var mycol1 = V123 Plum;V123 Plum = "0xFF6600"colorchange.setRGB(mycol1);
var mycol2 = V456 Ruby;

I was just conducting a little experiment, basically trying to come up with a stage resizing handler that would position everything on the stage with its x and y proportionate to its original position. That's when I discovered a very interesting thing.
Shapes that you draw using flash's drawing tools are treated completely differently than dynamically drawn shapes. Basically shapes you draw on the stage in the authoring tool would seem to have no x and y of their own, and also no matter how many different shapes you draw, to the compiler it's all one "child" object because it's all just one big shape.
To illustrate this difference, I created two separate files, but they both (seemingly) do essentially the same thing. In the first file, I drew a red circle shape dynamically with code, and set its x and y with code:
ActionScript Code:
var circle:Shape = new Shape();
var g:Graphics = circle.graphics;
g.beginFill(0xFF0000);
[code]...
In a second file, I manually drew a similar red circle shape, made it 100 pixels wide and tall, and positioned it at 100, 100 using the properties panel. This time, I took away the code that creates the circle dynamically and just kept the for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) {
var item:DisplayObject = this.getChildAt(i) as DisplayObject;
trace(item); //[object Shape]
trace(item.x); //0
trace(item.y); //0
}
In this second example, no matter how many and what kinds of shapes you draw, there will only ever be one display child and the x and y is always 0,0.
I for one kind of wish there were more of a one-to-one correspondence between the Flash IDE and the code window. Like, if we can create Shapes and name them dynamically, why can't we create Shapes and name them at authoring time? Or why isn't this now the role of the good ol' Graphics symbol? It's kind of like Flash and Actionscript have outgrown the authoring environment.
This would seem to have the effect of further widening the gap between design and development. Just thought I'd throw all this out there and see what kind of comments I get.
I am currently learning to use flash and i am following the ebook guide. On lesson 2 at the end, it requests you to select a complex shape, go to the bucket option and change the fill colour to dark brown. I tried that but the fill option has a red line across it and it cannot be selected. I need to complete this step if i want to finish lesson 2. I tried different things but it seems like the shape cannot be edited. I looked and it is not locked.[url]...
View 2 RepliesI've been working in flash for an independent studies course and I've come across an issue that is halting my class's progression. My Fill Color swatch is stuck as a transparent color and when i attempt to change it by clicking a color or typing in the color's code it doesn't change. Update:
-The issue is still there, but I've found that if I click the "black and white" option it enables the ability to change the fill color again, but only after that.-
-Another issue is that the color of text is also stuck on transparent unless I go into the color window, the box that allows you to select custom colors, and select a color from there.
I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:
import com.Polygon;
import mx.core.UIComponent;

without the mouse event, the group is visible, but it vanishes when i try to add it. i've tried with other events, like the ENTER_FRAME Event and it works normaly, but all the mouse events that i tried turn the Group invisible.i've actually solved my problem using the opaqueBackground property, the Group don't vanish when i add the event this whay. But now i'm curious about the reason of this behavior.
