ActionScript 2.0 :: Mouse Not Drawing Over Or Under The Ruler
Nov 30, 2004
I was wondering if I can draw a straight line along the edge of a ruler that I make that students can manipulate (drag,rotate, etc.) Let's say that I ask students to draw a line on a grid that has a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -2. In a Flash file, they would manipulate the ruler to where the line would be drawn. Let's say the ruler is where it should be. They then press a button to initiate the drawing function. Can the edge of the ruler be used to help them draw a nice, straight line ... the mouse not drawing over or under the ruler???

I'm making a drawing application, everythings looks and works ok, except for one thing...My mouse cursor is hidden and a paintbrush like cursor follows it. This cursor is a movieclip, because the user chooses a color, and the tip of this paintbrush changes to the selected color.But there's one problem... when I draw to the left the line is drawed with no problem, but when I draw to the right, the line is interrupted, and I don't understand why.I made one experiment, and with no movieclip "attached" to the mouse cursor, the line is drawed with no problem, both to the right and left.

how can I change my rulers' zero points on the stage? In Photoshop I just drag new points from the top left corner, but that doesn't seem to work in Flash. This is very useful for me, e.g., setting "0" at the center of the stage, or quickly measuring some space.
P.S. Where's the email alert button on this Forum's posts?

Since Flash doesn't allow you to specify exact coordinates to place guides, I wanted to create a command to "fit guides to stage". When manually dragging and watching the "Info" panel, you always end up skipping pixels, causing you to zoom way in for precise coordinates.
I can't seem to find (and it's possible it doesn't exist) a way to place guides on the stage using JSFL.

I'm trying to find a FLASH 5 tutorial that shows how to draw with the mouse. By that I mean the end user could draw pretty pictures in my movie. I found one at [url]...., but it seems to be a FlashMX tute.

I have two artworks on stage which have a common shape within the artwork. I need to make the one I have just added to stage fit the prior one by getting that common shape the same size for both. In Freehand I would drag the junction of the two rulers out onto stage to the left edge of the item, to create a zero point from which to take a measurement. I would drag a guide out to the right edge and read from the info panel an x value, thats my width, or double click the guide to get a reading from the guides palette. Repeat that for the other artwork then get a calculator and divide one measurement by the other to work out the scaling factor I need.
How in CS5 Flash does one place a ruler zero point on stage ? I can drag guides out, but how do I make the left hand guide to be zero ?

what i'm trying to create is a map system with pan and zoom functions similar to google maps. that part is easy. what i'm having trouble with is figuring out how to scale the coordinates at the top and left of the map.so if at 100% my map is viewable from mile 0 to mile 99 (numbers are only for the sake of example) then when i zoom in on the center to 150% i would need to show coordinates from mile 25 to mile 75 ... i think if that example is not clear just look at flash or photoshop. when you zoom in just look how the ruler around the stage changes with the zoom level.

I'm trying to draw a rectangle with my mouse using actionscript. I found a script online for elispes. I used that and it worked just fine. But when I change it to a rectangle, it doesn't work.
Code:
var color:Number;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);

What I'm trying to build is what you could call a scrolling drawing board - just like a drawing board but when the mouse comes close to the edge of the window, it scrolls and lets you continue your drawing. I have no problem creating a drawing board with API, but i can't make it scroll. Usually when i want to scroll a background image i make it move along with the mouse when the cursor is near the edge of the window (for example, if the mouse's coordinates are above a certain number, the background image starts moving in one direction so it "scrolls" in the other direction). So i wanted to do this with the movieclip of the drawing in a drawing board (make it move according to mouse's coordinates near the edge of the window), but when i scroll i have to stop the mouse at the edge of the window because i cant go any further :p so the drawing moves but it stops drawing. Or maybe what i need is some way to draw even when the mouse is not moving.

I wanna draw lines, without using the mousse at all. Straight lines or Sinusoids, it doesn't really matter. I've found a relevant tutorial here: [URL] but I didn't manage to make it work. Basically didn't fully understand it.

I want to set a point to start my line from and have the other end of the line follow my mouse. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
var clip:Shape = new Shape()
addChild(clip);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drawLine);
function drawLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
clip.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
clip.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xff9933);
}
But it's constantly drawing the line due to my mouse_move listener. I only want one line on stage - know what I mean?

I have a Group on my View, and i'm trying to fill it with some collor and add an mouse event on it, all dynamicaly.the problem is, when i add the mouse event, the group simply turns invisible again. It still exists on the view and responds normally to the mouse event, but i cant see it.here's an code example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" >[code]......
without the mouse event, the group is visible, but it vanishes when i try to add it. i've tried with other events, like the ENTER_FRAME Event and it works normaly, but all the mouse events that i tried turn the Group invisible.i've actually solved my problem using the opaqueBackground property, the Group don't vanish when i add the event this whay. But now i'm curious about the reason of this behavior.

I need to to incorporate a functionality where the user can use his mouse to draw a rectangle by dragging his mouse over the canvas - much like the Rectangle Drawing Tool in the Flash Authoring environment. The requirement is something like a rubberband tool where the user can define a portion of a map by drawing a rectangle over it. The coordinates needs to be captured.

The specifications where as follows: there should be a black square in which there is a faint picture of a sign. The user must be able to draw in the square and when he repeats the contours of the sign correctly - a popup appears.I made myself familiar with the ways you can allow a user to draw. However I have no idea how would you know if the two shapes/signs match and whether the user at least approximately drew the correct contour/sign

i am trying to make a drawing board(like colouring book) where when i click and MOVE THE MOUSE it colours the object(more like a brush and not as a paint bucket)i would like to know how to colour objects individually(without coloring background) and the most IMPORTANT is there any way to detect what percentage of object had been colored(like if 100% of object coloured something happens!)

From the Robert Penner code given in this tutorial: [URL] i was wondering why controlx and controly has to be so complicated. I've tried changing it to just _root._xmouse but it messes up. I don't get this, shouldn't the curve point be the same point as the mouse?

Basically 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.

I 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 Code:
var drawing = false
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);

I'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:
