ActionScript 2.0 :: MX04 - Drawing Dynamic Line On Top Layer
Jan 31, 2009
I'm trying to have the user draw a line on the top layer of my scene. I've been able to get my line, but it always shows up behind everything else. Here's the code I'm using:
Code:
mouseOld = mouseNew;
clear();
if (isMouseDown) { mouseNew = true;
if (mouseNew != mouseOld){
drawStartx = _xmouse; drawStarty = _ymouse}
[Code] .....
The code works fine, but how would I get my line to show up in front of everything else?

I'm creating a flash based dynamic electrical circuit board and have come across a problem. I have a function that is a fired from ENTER_FRAME event that loops though an array where each element contains the following:
'#parentObject1#ChildObject1#parentObject2#ChildOb ject2#Colour'
To Clarify - A line should be drawn from ChildObject1 to ChildObject2 in the saved colour. The above is a string. I slice at each '#', which is working. Each object gets added through my created toolbox so added dynamically.I can get the DisplayOBject of the parents by using - var obj1:displayObject = getChildByName(sliced[1]);
But cannot do the same for the Child object by - var subobj1:displayObject = obj1.getChildByName(sliced[2]);The reason for this is that each parent can be dragged so I would like the drawn line to move with the children.how to find the child objects

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.
Class File (DrawingArea):
package
{
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

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.

this is the END of the code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("pos", total);
pos.moveTo(radius.b, 0);
pos.beginGradientFill("radial", [0xCCCCCC, 0x999999], [100, 100], [0, 255], {matrixType:"box", x:-radius.b-radius.b/2, y:-radius.b-radius.b/2, w:radius.b*2, h:radius.b*2, r:0});
for (var radians = 0; radians
I get a error for the last line. The error is this:

How can I make sure I draw over (not under) mc's that are on the same layer as I'm drawing to?
I have attached several movieclips to "layer1", and now I'm using layer1.lineTo to draw several lines, but they all appear under the mc's. I need to draw over them, is there any way to do this without creating another layer on op of it?

and I want some movie clips to appear infront as well as behind it, but right now it always appears on the bottom layer. Is there a way to attach the drawing to a movie clip or something so I can change it's depth?

I have a button that when clicked is supposed to draw a rectangle behind my mask layer but when I try to run it I get this error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData.
Here is the related ActionScript Code:
fabric_mc.phoenixFab.addEvenetListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeFabric);
function changeFabric(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(phoenixFabric);
this.graphics.drawRect(181, 46, 319, 319);
this.graphics.endFill

Im building a pretty simple drawing board in flash, i got this code from this forum and it works fine (there is more to it but this is the drawing part)[code]This works fine. But i want to be able to erase the drawings, step by step this is ths tricky part, ive looked everywhere(ok not everywhere) but in a whole lot of places but the only thing i found is how i could delete everything with removeChild and that in not what i want. Maybe i need to change the function abowe? Please help me to get in the right direction. What should i read about /look at?

I'm making a simple program in Flash MX 2004 and I can't figure out if what I'm trying to do is possible.I have an animation of a card flipping over. It's a movie clip with a dynamic text field placed on it.It animates fine, but the text only shows up when the animation stops, not while it's moving.Is it possible to have a dynamic text field actually move with the animation? (rotate, resize, etc...)

I have the following AS code attached to a movieclip:
[Code]...
With the var daylight set to '0' or '1', a couple of mc's ('sky','lights') are told to jump to frame 1 or 5, but it seems that my if-loop doesn't work well. I placed a dynamic textfield in this same mc which displays the var directly from the PHP-script to see if the var is imported correctly and that works fine. I hope I made myself clear

How do i animate a drawing line? I mean like from point A to point B, the flash will show it is "drawn" itself.Can I do it simply without actionscript? Is it possible? Because I have many lines to draw, to make it into a diamond.

I'd like to be able to draw in a specific layer. I've tried using a mock MoviceClip (empty) that lies in it's specific layer like such:
Code:
mock_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", depth);
line_mc.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
line_mc.moveTo(150,200);
line_mc.lineTo(300,200);
But it just does not work! Gaaaah, im getting crazy over this. Aren't we supposed to be able to draw into any MovieClip?

What I'd like is the ability to draw a line with the drawing tools in Flash, and have that line appear onscreen as if it were being drawn. I don't think there's a way to do that with the animation tools (I'd like to give it a go, but I have no idea, once I've drawn a line and converted it into a symbol, how I could access the anchor points and whatnot of said line to then do some funky stuff with curveTo, or whatever better solution is out there...

With several flashes I'm trying to create, I find that I need to know how to depict a line being drawn or a plant/vine growing (same concept right). Obviously frame-by-frame animation can be used, but that's quite tedious. There must be some other, more productive way to pull it off. Example of the vine: [URL] I've tried shape tweens with shape hints but it didn't render very well at all.

I'm having troubles with the width of a line using the lineTo and lineStyle function, I can put setting the thickness and noScale parameters, and it works fine for no longer lines than 32000 pixels, but when I try longer line, the thickness changes to a bigger width. if you want to try what I'm saying you can prove this by changing the num variable:to 33000 for example:
num = 32000
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("Envolvente", 100);
this.Envolvente.lineStyle(0,0x00CC00,100, false, "none",
"round", "miter", 0.8);

i'm developing a game for mobile devices where I need to draw many objects and some lines(1~3 just occasionally).
my problem in short is: Line drawing is too slow for iPhone4
objects are drawn with bitmap, so it's pretty fast with GPU support. drawing lines are slow.
a end point of a line follows mouse cursor, so it changes every frame.
here's how i did it
initialization step:
var img:Shape = new Shape();
addChild( img );
[Code]....
that gives me 47~48 FPS on my iPhone. +2 FPS but still way too slow for a simple line.
without the line, i can maintain my whole game around 30 FPS. with the line, it goes below 20.

I was told that by using actionscript to animate, it will make the flash file smaller and animations smoother... is this a correct assumption?
with this in mind, I have the code:
ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 10);
myLine.lineStyle(2, 0x000000, 100);
myLine.moveTo(10, 10);

I'm trying to create a simple graph showing the stock trends for the past few days. In the x axis I have the dates and in the y axis I have the stock value. I have to do this dynamically and I think I can figure it out, but I need help with something else: I need to be able to (dynamically) draw the slope of the line as the user clicks on a point... something like in www_calculusapplets_com/twicediff.html except that instead of having the slider the user will click on the actual line.

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)

I was looking for tutorials on drawing in flash using actionscript and all of the tutorials I found showed how to create content instantly (with the click of a button etc).But I was wondering if it was possible to use actionscript to draw a line from coordinate A to B over, say 12 frames?

Drawing a simple line is easy - here's some sample code here from Kirupa:
[Code]....
My First Question is - how can you get it to show the drawing of the line - almost like an animation? This example instantly shows the line - I want the appearance that you're watching the line being drawn. Do you animate the lineTo variable and just keep refreshing? My Second Question is - can you do the same with a Bezier curve? In the end, I'm trying to draw random bezier lines from the left to the right in varying thicknesses and shapes (being able to see them being drawn from left to right).
