I was goofing around with more a/s and was trying to grow a bar using _height and a random value. However, it seems to grow from the center, and I'd like it's x or y value to be fixed.It is basically a vertical bar. I want the bottom to stay fixed, so the bar will grow up.While we're at it.. I'd also like to figure how to show it "growing" progressively.. I tried a while(condition

View 13 RepliesI am designing an animated flash webpage, and would like some advice on the best way to animate the growing stalk of some 'flowers'. I have watched an online tutorial on drawing curved lines, and in this tutorial the line was drawn using a mask manually, i.e. the mask was transformed manually for each frame, which is OK for a few frames, but I would rather do this automatically if possible, as there will be 8 lines and quite a lot of frames. The trouble with say creating a motion tween for the mask layer is that this doesn't give enough control with curvy lines.
So I was wondering if there is another way, either in Flash CS4 or After Effects CS4. For instance, is there such a thing as a fill/stroke tween, which would fill a predefined line with a particular colour at a variable rate? Here is a rough draft of the kind of page I am wanting to design: So each of the stems would grow from the edges of the screen, then divide and continue to grow. The 'flowers' will grow and follow the end of the lines/stems as they grow larger.
Recently i wanted to make a custom coordinate system which user gives his number and after calculating, a number between 0 to 27 will come out, the app shows us with growing line where exactlly that point located. I mean that I have a vertical line the highest point is 0 and the lowerst is 27 and i want to put a growing line which grows to the number we want. forexample if that number is 6, we will have a line growed from 0 to 6 and shows us where 6 located.
View 3 RepliesI want a ball to roll along, and as it does, grass and flowers spring up behind it, in it's wake. I have worked out how to get the rolling ball effect, but don't know how to do the grass springing up. I found some grass and flower symbols in Illustrator which will suit the purpose. I thought of loading them into the deco tool as one possible way, but there might other ways.
View 6 Repliesstarting a new AS 3 website and (dont hit me) i must admit this is the first AS 3 site i am doing - it's going rather well but i do have a question. I woudl like to create a class that will draw a simple box outline based on dimensions i pass it. But i want the actual drawing of the box to be tweened. So the lines would start out as 1px lines and then tween to be say 100 px wide by 100px high. I have played around with several tweens on both boxes and lines and nothing has worked to my satisfaction. Problem is the lines get fatter as the width scales out. I am thinking that perhaps the only way to do this is to actually draw lines with line to in some loop on onEnterFrame but have not succeeded. So if anyone has an example of this please do share it.

View 5 RepliesMy Problem: I simply want to load a swf in a swf and then unload it. When I do this it works and cleans out "some" memory but after I unload the swf the memory usage grows a little each time. Shouldn't I be able to have this so the memory hits a limit and doesn't keep growing forever?
What I tried: I put in System.gc() for debugging to force garbage clean up, and I am testing it in the debugger in the browser.There are 2 static images in the swf that is loaded and unloaded. I feel like those images are staying in memory maybe? I am assuming that the "unloadAndStop()" should handle that though.I put an enterframe listener which I remove along with the unload button.
My Code: The code is below, my files are larger than the upload limit here, but you can download all the files from this link: http:[url]....

I'm working with SWFObject 2.2 using the expressInstall.swf that comes with the package.I understand that the swf is loading in another swf from an adobe server which is the actual express install.My problem is that when it loads, it loads at a larger dimension than I can handle and causes my flash to wrap onto another line and makes the site terribly ugly.how to prevent the dimensions from growing once the express install is loaded?(btw, no matter what dimension I change the expressInstall.swf to, it always becomes something bigger than I can have on the screen)

View 3 RepliesI made a 3d box using flash cs4 (ive made one using imported images as the sides and another one using vector siding made in flash) Both times, when ive finished the box and rotate it, sides will dissapear then reappear, depending on where the box was in its rotation. For instance, when you look at it dead on, the front side seems opaque, but when i start rotating it, the fron side, at certain angles, becomes transparent and you can actually see INSIDE the box thru the wall, then as it moves it becomes solid again. I am trying to make a presentation for work of a package, rotating 360 degrees on its y axis, but keep getting these odd disapearing sides.

How can I achieve the 3 Lines around the button?
I got goal to achieve, 3d cube manipulated with mouse with gradient filling on each wall.
I found some source codes coresponding to gradients and 3d rotating cube but here is the problem:
When i put these two things together the effect looks like the cube was a wireframe with transparency to some gradient background hidden behind the first plane solid black background. Gradient always stays still.
Method which rotates/displays cube got at input three parameters rotx .roty, rotz i'd like to make use of it and apply it to gradients displayed on each side. gradient got own matrix but i don't have a clue how and when manipulate this gradient to get desired effect - i mean transform/rotate gradient in way ro look like it is painted on side of cube and tranform along to it 3d position.
here is source for gradient [URL]

View 1 RepliesIf you have an image whose sides are even for example 48 x 24 you may do this and you are just fine:
matrix.translate(-24, -12);
matrix.rotate(Math.PI);

But if you have an image of size something like 49 x 25, then there is a problem with those odd pixels, how to compute when and where to add or remove those odd pixels so image gets allways perfectly rotated?

I have two rectangles and I want to draw a Line between them.The problem is as follows: I need to select which sides to draw between.What I remember of the algorithm is that you start by drawing a imagined line between the centres of the two rectangles. From that it is possible to calculate which sides are intersected by this line. Chose these sides as start and end for the actual line.
