I am creating the line trough "lineStyle" method but I need that instead of color on the fill I want to use an image.something like the beginBitmapFill well I tried everything and could not fin a solution for that.even the " lineGradientStyle" does not supprt the bitmap fill...

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.
Anyone knows if it's possible to fill a rectangle with a bitmap with action script?
View 12 RepliesI must say I'm a little puzzled by the mipmap functionality in the newer flash players.URL...Tinic describes the way that mipmaps work in flash player if the images are specific sizes (e.g. powers of 2 like 256x256 etc). The demo here URL... shows this working quite clearly and I have myself demonstrated that when using a simple bitmap object with smoothing set to true then scaling has a much better result when the images are the correct dimensions for mipmap capabilities.However I have not seen mipmaps work in 3D when using bitmapFill and drawTriangles. The bitmap quality seems to look crappy regardless of the bitmap size. Do mipmaps ever work in 3D with bitmap fill etc? This topic direct from Adobe seems to imply that it does URL...with the comment "Use bitmap sizes that are divisible by 4 or 8 for two-dimensional images (such as 640 x 128, which can be reduced as follows: 320 x 64 > 160 x 32 > 80 x 16 > 40 x 8 > 20 x 4 > 10 x 2 > 5 x 1) and 2^n for three-dimensional textures".However a few other sources such as this one implies that it doesnthttp:URL...with the comment "Mipmapping was introduced in Flash Player 9 but it doesn't work with 3D drawing and requires textures to be even in resolution.

View 1 RepliesWhat I want to do is draw the outline of an object using the IDE to create my movieclip symbol...this object will be an enclosed region e.g a cloud. I then want to be able to fill the internal area of the object with a bitmap using actionscript.
I had assumed that I would be able to do this via graphics.beginBitmapFill but there doesn't seem to be a way to specify to draw the outline within the MC or to do a floodfill with a bitmap using a point of origin within an enclosed region.
I'm trying to use a bitmap fill, but I can't seem to get it to work.I'm using FlashDevelop with assets imported from CS4 - this isn't the problem, I can instantiate the asset I'm targeting perfectly fine, so I suspect that it's a problem with what I'm trying to do. Here's my code:
Code:
//get the bitmap data from a grass symbol
//grass symbol IS present - can be added to stage fine
var grassBMD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(155, 80);[code]....
Nothing gets displayed in the box, so I'm suspicious that I'm not allowed to use bitmap fill in non-primitive shapes.
I am trying to create small flash application which would allow me to fill movieclip with different texures/bitmaps using actionscript. It should work something like this:Click herebut instead of fill with different colors movieclip should be filled with different bitmaps/textures. I have find tutorial for changing colors but not sure how to realize this to change textures.Perhaps there is some other solution beside using actionscript for which
View 2 RepliesOn my stage I created a rectangle with a bitmap fill, such that there is exactly one repeat of the bitmap (the default). I then converted the rectangle to a Movieclip symbol, so that I could access it via actionscript. The problem: when I change the height of the rectanble via actionscript, the bitmap stretches to match. What I want is for the bitmap to maintain its repeat, such that if I double the height of the rectangle, I would see two vertical repeats of the bitmap (the way it would happen in html/CSS with background-repeat set to "repeat").

Instead of using the RGB mode, I'd like to use Bitmap fills.
The subject pretty much sums it up; I have a bunch of movieclips on the stage, that are already filled with a bitmap pattern in the IDE. Now I need to fill them with another pattern once they are clicked, and I can�t seem to figure out how to do it.This is the closest yet, but i just get a recangle with the new pattern behind my selected mc.

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 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.
All i am looking for is to draw a line from point 1 x, y z, to point2 x y z Since this was CS 4 and z properties are enabled, i wonder how i could do this for a line.

View 2 RepliesI have a box lined out by AS.
How can I change its lineStyle when rollOver, making it draker for example?
I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).
Is there a way to draw a line with graphics.lineTo() that is thinner than 1point? According to the documentation the thinnest lineStyle possible should be 0 but I cannot see any difference between a 0 stroke and a 1 stroke?
View 4 RepliesThe sprite which contains all element in my game world uses the real-world meter as distance unit, it doesn't know what pixels are. I then apply a scale to this sprite to make it appear correct on screen. Currently I use 1 meter = 100 pixels, so scale = 100.
If I try to draw a line inside this sprite it appears lineStyle(thinkness) rounds the thickness parameter. If I specify 0.5 (50 cm) it always gets drawn with 1 pixel (1 cm). If I specify 0.6, the line becomes 100 pixels, or 1 meter, thick. So basically I can only draw lines of 1, 100, 200 etc pixels thinkness.
Anything I can do about this? Otherwise I'll have to use a smaller unit like millimeters for my world.
im drawing a line from 0,0 to 100,100 im using this to modify the linestyle:
draw_line.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);
That line is now of 1 thickness.Is there anyway i can change the thickness of the line to say 10, but without redrawing the line?
I'm attempting to make a very simple drawing programme. There will be maybe 4/5 buttons. Three of them when you click on the change the color of the line the user draws. the other two will change the line thickness. I've tried setting up a variable to set to how thick the line should be depending on the button the user has pressed.But it has no effect - i'm guessing that's because the variable only exists within the confines of the function that I have it in.[code]
