Feb 23, 2009I'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]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Generate Drawing API Data From Drawing Object?
Jul 22, 2009Basically I've got a reasonably complex drawing object in a fla and I want to reproduce it in a class definition using the drawing api. However obviously this is a tedious task, so is there some trick or automated method of doing this?
Last time I needed to do this it was a drawing of an arrow and I ended up writing down x,y,width,height values for everything but this one has curves in it which I don't have experience with drawing anyway.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Enabling Drawing Only When Drawing = True
Sep 28, 2009I cannot get this to work. Without the "var drawing", "var drawing being true or false" and the "if statement", it works fine. But I need to add the "var drawing" so that you can only draw if you turn it on by pressing the "draw_btn" button. Note, I do not get an error, the script "apparently" contains no errors. Here is the code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Over A Movieclip In A Custom Drawing App?
Jan 13, 2012I've created a drawing tool which allows the user to draw on the canvas, the problem is that if I try to draw over a movieclip nothing happens. Is there a way I can allow for the user to draw over movieclips? For example if I had a background of paper?
Here's the code I'm using for it:
// This code is for drawing the lines on the page
//1.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Api Drawing 40,000 Objects
Feb 18, 2009I need to draw on stage about 40,000 4x4 squares each a different color. The color is determined by an xml file. I have this working in as2 and have converted it to as3 the problem is the amount of time it takes to draw is causing cs4 to time out. I have extended the script time out to 60 seconds. In cs3 as2 it would draw the squares in about 15 seconds. I was hoping as3 cs4 would improve performance but seems to be the opposite. I have tried several methods such as adding children and various drawing variations. the bellow seems to work the best, but is still causing flash to crash.

Mar 1, 2007I'm in the process in making a little drawing board using flash Drawing API. Right now i have the lines drawn by using lineTo() but i was wondering if there is a way to erase portions of the line. I know i could just write over it with white but was thinking of a better way. maybe by change the alpha or using a mask something like that. Just wanted to know if anyone came across this before or have a theory that can give me some insight to solve this problem..

ActionScript 1/2 :: Drawing Program In Flash?
Feb 11, 2010I have a small flash that I'd like to expand upon, and basically I'm wondering if it's possible to Make a button that lets you erase things on click, rather than clearing the screen.Draw lines of different colours/thicknessHave the Flash output a code for the drawing (similar to Punk-o-Matic 1/2) and be able to put it into the Flash in a text form to have it output the picture. (Thus allowing sharing of pictures).Here's the code.
// 1. SETTING THINGS_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
// 2. EVENTS IN _ROOT:_root.onMouseDown = function(){ line.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse); line.lineStyle(2,0x000000,100); this.onMouseMove = function(){ line.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse); updateAfterEvent(); }}_root.onMouseUp = function(){ this.onMouseMove = null;}
Also see included .fla. It's very small as all it features is a default stage that you can draw on, with an Erase button that clears the screen.

Flash :: Way To Skip Drawing Frames?
Feb 7, 2011I'm creating a flash game which uses time intervals with setInterval and sometimes does heavy calculations. The problem is that on slower machines these calculations can't keep up with the framerate and the movie slows down BUT the timers are unaffected what makes them asynchronous to the movie. Looking back, it was a bad idea to use timers but I can't change it back now. So...is there a way to skip drawing frames?

Oct 22, 2011The issue I am having is how to tackle forming a logo using circles. I have done one letter manually, however it would take forever to do this with every single letter, and so I am asking here if anyone knew of a faster method. Requirements:
- Has to fill non-circular letters(i.e. does not have to be precise, but look like it has edges)
- Circles have to animate in, therefore they need to have drop shadow and seem like they are landing in place

ActionScript 2.0 :: Drawing Lines In Flash?
Apr 17, 2009I'm trying to design an application where you can draw lines. This is my code.
Code:
onMouseDown = function (){
original_x = _root._xmouse
original_y = _root._ymouse
[Code].....
value_obtained is true when you click the mouse, and is made false when the mouse is released. original_x and original_y are the coordinates for the point of the first click.
How can I make it so that each created line stays on the screen and is not remade?

View 3 RepliesFlash :: Saving Dynamic Drawing, Then Re-loading?
Jan 30, 2010the short version of what i need to do - via AS3 and PHP - is a user can come to this project and draw something. drawing's no problem, that's done. my issue is figuring out how to take that drawing data, converting it into something i can save to my database ... then reload said data and recreate it on the stage when the user "loads" it.
i guess i'm just searching for a way to take drawn data (just using typical as3 drawing methods) and breaking it down to a string, then bringing that string back in and recreating it. i'm not super versed in ByteArrays - which i suspect is where my answer lies.
user doesn't need to adjust any of this after it's loaded, fwiw. i'd just like to send this drawing data out - then bring it back in and place it back on the stage.
Flash :: Drawing Outlines Around Organic Shapes
Mar 21, 2010One thing that seems particularly easy to do in the Flash IDE but difficult to do with code is to outline an organic shape. In the IDE you can just use the inkbucket tool to draw a stroke around something. Using nothing but code it seems much trickier. One method I've seen is to add a glow filter to the shape in question and just mess with the strength. But what if i want to only show the outline?What I'd like to do is to collect all of the points that make up the edge of the shape and then just connect the dots. I've actually gotten so far as to collect all of the points with a quick and dirty edge detection script that I wrote. So now I have a Vector of all the points that makeup my shape. How do I connect them in the proper sequence so it actually looks like the original object?[code]
View 1 RepliesFlash :: Moving Symbol Around Drawing Objects?
Jul 3, 2010I have imported a lot of paths from an Adobe Illustrator document right into a flash file. The paths exists as Drawing Objects inside the scene. Using pure actionscript, how can I move a symbol following each of the lines, without using predefined Motion Guides.
EDIT: I've attached the Flash file, full of drawing objects.

The question is: Are these drawing objects accessible through AS3 or I should convert them to symbols / whatever format necessary.
Flash - Possible To Improve Performance Of Drawing Technique?
Oct 22, 2010Am currently working on a tool created by a colleague of mine and would like to improve performance. Basically, it's a tool for drawing on screen and uses a combination of Sprites and the Graphics class to draw a line segment every time the mouse is moved when the mouse button is down. Here is the drawing bit:
// on MouseMove
protected function drawLine(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (currentTool.thickness > 0){
//pen
var line:Sprite = new Sprite();
line.graphics.lineStyle(currentTool.thickness, currentColour);
[Code] .....
As you can see, it checks if the line 'thickness' property and draws if it is and erases if it isn't. I did think of using a technique similar to blotting here where it'd draw to a bitmap but I'm not sure this'd give the performance boost I want or if, indeed, there would be any way to have an eraser function. The drawing itself works nicely - this isn't the problem, it's the performance of the subsequent 'drawn' sprites.
