In this movie clip I have another called green2_mc. This animation is 120 frames long, with a stop(); on frame 59. On Layer 2 of the main timeline I have another movie clip called green_back. This is my button. I've put the following code on the clip.

Just opened flash for the first time to find that the pen tool will only draw straight lines.It can still plot points and the lines will join up but curves are impossible.Is there some setting that disable drawing curves? I haven't found anything in the annoyingly-online files.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to draw a little web tool, which allows to draw freehand just like with a simple black felt-tip, with a button to save what has been drawn on a jpg file on my website. Do you know any examples? I looked for the code on the net, but none did function.

View 1 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash CS4, and I was wondering why on earth my pencil tool delays when I draw with it? I will click, draw my line (which will be invisible), then when I let go of my mouse/pen, the line appears. Is it supposed to do that? Is there a way to fix it? I hate it, because I can't see what I'm doing. I downloaded all of the updates, and I have more than enough memory on my computer and my processor is more than fast enough. My paintbrush works fine, it's just the pencil.
View 1 Replieswhy do when I draw a triangle for instance with the pen tool, and then I rotate it with the free transform tool, so while I rotate the triangle, it is scaled and dissorted its shape, and it lengthen a little. And I don't know how to prevent it.
View 4 RepliesI recently installed the CS5 Master Collection on my MacPro for work. I need to use Flash CS5 in order to work on some projects in the office, however I'm encountering several issues that make it near impossible for me to use the software. First of all, when I start the program and select "New..." and select any type of new file, I'm greeted by nearly every button being greyed out, to where I cannot select them. I've found out that I can make these buttons usable by changing my workspace in Flash.
The issue that's causing me trouble is that whenever I select any sort of "Drawing" tool, Flash CS5 crashes immediately. Whenever I click on the line, pen, circle, rectangle, pencil, or brush tools, CS5 freezes briefly (about 2-3 seconds) and then immediately closes. I can still use tools such as the Pan tool, zoom, text, and selection tool. Also, whenever I select the Spray Can tool, I get the following error:
Unable to load the script. The file <filepath>/ProScripts/sprayBrush.jsx does not exist.
I have already tried updating my system, updating every Adobe product on this machine, reinstalling, and even using a seperate installation CD, but everything thus far has yielded the same results.
Info on my system:
MacPro running OS X V. 10.6
2 x 2.26 GHx quad-core proocessors

I need to make a circle with a brush tool so that it looks like a child draws it. If I make a dot with the brush tool on the first frame and a circle on the 15th frame and then create shape tween between those frames it looks stupid, like the circle grows itself. Is there any possibility of making such a thing except for drawing it per frame?
View 3 RepliesI am fiddling around with Senocular's Transformation Tool classes, which allow for a MovieClip to be transformed (rotated, resized, skewed, etc) upon click. Just one tiny problem. I need for the MovieClip registration point to always be centered, so that when I do begin transforming in any way, it transforms from that centered registration point. Here is a picture - I need this done in As3 rather than simply creating a new MovieClip symbol and selecting the center for its registration point, as these pictures are loaded dynamically.

View 3 RepliesFlash 8, CS3 and CS4 on Windows XP. The issue is that seemingly randomly, when I draw with the pencil tool, the line starts to zigzag and squirm, even though my mouse/wacom tablet is moving steadily. It's little tiny squirms that go in all different random directions. It's pretty much impossible to draw anything when this is going on, and I usually have to do something else for a while and hope it's still not doing it when I come back.

View 1 RepliesI have a motion tween right now with a moving point that is following a copied and pasted motion path. Is there a quick way to have the point draw a line behind it as it moves along the motion path??? I can't seem to find a good way to do it in AS3.
View 1 RepliesI wish to draw a (hair-)line, from one point to another. The drawing-api at [URL] gives a nice explanation, but flash is slightly off. The lineTo statement draws a line towards the specified point, not to. It's probably a matter of opinion, but I'm fairly confident that we all agree that drawing a line from (1,1) to (5,1) should result in a line 5 pixel long. That's how we've all learned it when we were young, that how other programming languages do it, etc. (One could state that 'going to school' doesn't mean you actually enter the building , but that's just avoiding the issue) But not Flash. Drawing this line results in a line of only 4 pixels long, the line stops at coordinates (4,1). I can see the benefits in this when drawing (transparent) connected lines and closed shapes, but it has it's drawback when creating single lines.
I'm probably not the first one to run into this problem. Maybe it's just a setting somewhere? How do I get flash to draw a line to the exact point I specify? Preferably without having to analyze the direction of the line and moving the destination coordinates one pixel further.
we have values generator that outputs someting like FF00FF5F. We have some coordinates like 50, 300, 10. We want to draw a point in 3d on stage. Not using PV3d or anething like that. thay say there is going to be no default z sorting but I can live with that...

I am very new to actionscript 3.0 & currently i have a project to do that required actionscript.
ActionScript Code:
package{ //package
import flash.display.Sprite;// for sprite, to prevent 1046 error code
import flash.events.MouseEvent; //for mouseEvent, to prevent 1046 error code
import flash.display.Shape; //for shape, to prevent 1046 error code
public class gridDrawLineTesting extends Sprite //for mouseX mouseY

This is the code that I have found from various web and paste it into one. I want to draw straight line & snap to that point at the same time. My problem is when I click at 2nd point, there is a 'extra' line at (0,0) joining towards my 2nd corrdinate point. I want to get rid of that 'extra' line.
I didn't know where this should go; I thought this was the best place. In Actionscript 2.0 I'm trying to draw the shelf of a closet (wall-to-wall) but I don't know how to.
View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to make a curve drawing tool a bit easier to use.Rather than drawing a basic curve and then clicking on the control point to change it, I would like the user to be able to click on the curve itself to change it, much as you do in the FlashIDE.So, given start and end points, and a point on the curve, how do you determine the control point for use with the MX API?(I googled this, but found mostly info on cubic rather than quadratic curves)

i.e. not moved over so that the top left corner of the rectangle is in the "middle" of where I want the rectangle to be...
