ActionScript 3.0 :: Access 'pencil Tool' With It?

Jul 8, 2009

I'd like to use the mouse to sketch a basic curve which will then be 'auto-smoothed' when the mouse is released. This is exactly how the Flash pencil tool already behaves.

My question is: Is it possible to access this functionality with actionscript without having to reinvent the wheel?

Professional :: Pencil Tool Draw Delay?

Oct 23, 2010

I'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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Paint App - Pencil Tool - Open Up A New As3 File?

Mar 29, 2010

if you open microsoft paint and use the pencil tool you'll tell its not like the brush tool in a vector based program. vector based tools keep drawing the object until you let go of the mouse. but the pencil tool on the other hand seems like the canvas is divided up into a grid and where ever the mouse clips it knows what grid it belongs to and it draws the pixel in that grid. thats what it feels like. my question is say i open up a new as3 file, how would i make something like that?

taking into account of course i'd be adding a zoom function were you'll be able to zoom in up to 8 times. but thats something i assume i'd worry about later, as i should be able to do that no problem.

Professional :: Using The Pencil/brush Tool In Drawing An Animation?

Feb 22, 2010

bit of a noob at flash, so I've been having a bit of a difficulty in using the pencil/brush tool in drawing an animation. I set a keyframe, and paint a yellow stroke.  Then i continue onto the next key. I then go back to the first keyframe, and want to paint a black stroke over part of the yellow stroke i made earlier.
 
after selecting this first frame (making the layer active), I go to change the stroke color of the brush to black but find that it now changes my yellow stroke (which I want to keep yellow) to black.  I see that in selecting the frame, by default whatever strokes were made on this frame are also selected (which I don't want). So I'd like to know how do I avoid altering my previous stroke and still put a different colored stroke overlapping it on the same frame?
 
also is it possible to append a brush/pencil stroke to an old brush/pencil stroke?

Professional :: Can't Get Pencil Tool Into Merge Drawing Mode?

Nov 29, 2010

I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Executive Suite CS5. In the Flash Professional CS5 program I am trying to do a drawing with the pencil tool.  In the old version of Flash that I have (4.0) if I draw two lines that overlap, I can delete the line past the point where they cross.  In this version I can't do that.It treats each line I draw as a separate item and won't combine them.  I notice the properties panel says I am in Object mode which would be the reason.  However I can't get it to go to merge mode, which is supposed to be the default.Is this because it's the trial version and not all features work in that version? My email address is[url].... and I can be phoned at 541 782-5904 (Oregon).

Professional :: Pencil Tool Line Not Displaying In Real Time - Windows 7: 64 Bit?

Feb 10, 2010

When using the Pencil Tool in Flash CS4 the line does not appear until after I've released the left mouse button or Wacom Pen nib. In other words you can write on a blank page the letter A but it only becomes visible after releasing the mouse button. It's invisible inkThe same problem occurs on my other machine with the only difference being an Intuos compared with Intuos 4 tablet - however it has same problem with a USB mouse, so it doest appear to be a Wacom issue.I've found a (kindof) fix.Open the Wacom Tablet properties panel either from the Start Menu or Control Menu - leave it open while using the Pencil Tool in Flash CS4 and it all works fine!I would be interested to know if anyone else has the same issue - might only be relevent to Windows 7 - 64 bit (i've not tested 32 bit). All was fine in Windows XP.Windows 7 - 64 bit (2009)Flash CS4 10.0.2Wacom Driver pro612-5_int - the new driver 613 made the pen go into Quick Point mode randomly so I'm using the older 612.5 drivers.

Tablet Is Moving Steadily When Draw With The Pencil Tool The Line Starts To Zigzag And Squirm

May 5, 2010

Flash 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.

How To Get A Thicker Pencil Line

May 30, 2009

The reason I don't like the brush tool is because the brush line is not consistent in its thickness. For example, if I draw a curve with the brush tool, some of the line will be thicker than other parts of the line. The pencil tool has the same thickness all around, but unfortunately it is very thin.

Pencil Draw Undesired Shapes?

Mar 17, 2009

Why is it that when I draw with the pencil tool, my lines get auto-reshaped? This is nice but it's not nice when I try to draw a stickfigure and it turns out completely wrong. Sometimes when I draw a circle with the pencil tool it becomes a square. But then again I don't use a drawing pad. I use a mouse.

Somebody told me: "Because Flash is really a vector drawing tool, not a bitmap drawing tool. It is *interpreting* your marks as pieces of a curve. That said I think there may be a setting to remove this smooth - in effect using more line parts for you drawing."

A oval / rectangle primitive object can be edited later but the oval / rectangle can't. So the point is,how do we use them properly ? when to use ? Why does Adobe Flash still keep the oval / rectangle tool in their product instead of removing them with the oval / rectangle primitive tool ?
