ActionScript 3.0 :: Cutting Holes Out Of A Graphic With A Stroke?
Nov 15, 2011
How would I go about cutting a transparent hole into a Graphic and leaving a stroke around the hole I just made (similar to if I had used the Eraser tool on the Flash canvas, minus the stroke)? My first instinct tells me to draw a circle over the spot I want to "cut out" with a stroke of an arbitrary width and an alpha-less fill, but if I were to click-and-drag this hole - or simply make another overlapping hole for that matter (again, as if I were using the Eraser tool), the stroke would definitely not appear the way I want it to. If anyone is familiar with how the terrain is blown away in the 2D Worms series, that is more or less what I am going for.

If I have a rectangle which has a fill of blue and stroke of orange how can I change the stroke to black and the fill to red using actioncript.
When I use the following code it changes the entire rectangle to 0x008000 (green). Either the fill is covering the stroke or it is changing both the fill and stroke to 0x008000 (green).
var myColor:ColorTransform = myRectangle.transform.colorTransform;
savedColor = myRectangle.transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0x008000;

Code:
var myArrow:ArrowMovieClip = new ArrowMovieClip();
var vectorDisplayObject:DisplayObject = stage.addChild( myArrow );
I used the code above to create an instance of an arrow graphic that I made using the line tool (the graphic is embedded in a movie clip). I now want to add different colored fills and different stroke sizes and colors using code. Is it possible to do this with pre-drawn vector graphic objects, or is it only doable if I create the arrow with code using things like lineTo and curveTo?

I am trying to create a bullet hole effect when you click the mouse down.I want a bullet hole to appear where you click the mouse and to stay there, and then when you have > 10 bullet holes on the stage i want to earliest ones to start to fade out.
Here is my code so far:
[AS]
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
i++;
this.duplicateMovieClip("BulletHole"+i, i+1);
[code]...
However this just duplicates the movie clip and then when you click again it disapears straight away.

I use AS3's drawing api to draw filled shapes, but when they overlap, instead of filling the overlapped area, it becomes clear again, with no fill.
My question is, how can i get rid of this behavior, i need to just fill everything, is there a way to somehow "flatten" the shapes?

I need draw rectangle with two circle holes inside. The problem is in circles interception. I want them to join together and cut from background, but they seems to be XORed:
At first I tried drawRect and DrawCircle:
graphics.beginFill(0, 0.5);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, width, height);
graphics.drawCircle(width/2, height/2, 50);
[Code].....
here getCirclePath returns object with points to draw polygon which looks like circle. Also I tried different combinations of GraphicsPathWinding constants, but no luck.
how to draw two intersecting circle holes in graphics?

I've received a .fla file with a movie that I'm supposed to edit. I have managed to make little changes as entering the movieclips and updating pictures.I have to cut out from the movie from a certain point to the end. I have managed to selecting all frames in that certain point and pressing SHIFT + F5 .The second part that I must cut is between the frames 510 to 671. I have deleted the layers with the content that was supposed to appear in that part of the movie, but I'd like to make the movie shorter by cutting these frames as the only thing that is seen in that part is the background image.When I select all the frames between 510 to 671 and press SHIFT + F5 all the rest of the movie is modificated, pictures aren't shown and there are graphics appearing where they should not.

flash document is.. 1920 px by 1080 px, 1080p resolution for animation, standard stuff.When I go to export the stage as a PNG files, doesn't matter if I specify the resolution as 1920 by 1080 or click match movie, the exported png file is HUGE, the size to be exact is 8000 by 4500, why is this? I can't find a way to fix that.Secondly, it's not exporting the full stage, it seems to be cutting off most of the right side, see the image below.[URL]

I just created my first animation of a plant "growing up", following the tutorial here: http:[url]..... It worked wonders: I basically drew a few lines, transformed it to symbol, created a new mask and script layer, and just used a brush to cover a part of the image on every frame in order to give the illusion of appearance. However, I don't need a background, I just need to cut the animation and make it an independent SWF.

I made a post under actionscript 2.0, but I wasn't sure if it belonged there. So here goes.I made a text box and added a mask to it, it is really long so I made it scrollable. For some reason it keeps cutting off the bottom of the text, meaning it won't scroll all the way down, it truncates it. The text is dynamic and the fonts are embedded, heck I even tried breaking the fonts apart.

I have a scrollpane who's source is a movieclip filled with checkboxes.It works fine, except that some of the checkboxes names are cut off.The checkboxes are for science words.Biology is fine Astromony comes out Astronom with the y cut off. Adjusting the scrollpane width does not help Adjusting the movieclip width makes it look bizarre like it's stretched.

I've dynamically drawn a gradient background on a little widget I've built (pulls in EPA/National Allergy Bureau climate data from a vendor, if you're curious), and I have applied an AS 2.0 drop shadow filter to the background. Standard stuff...except...
...I embedded the SWF using SWFObject and matching the dimensions of the widget stage exactly. And the left/right edges are cutting off. Are there any guidelines for using a background AS 2.0 drop shadow filter and accommodating the filter with the embed? It's a 10px (5px depth, 5px blur) 90-degree filter, and I left room on the stage for the 10px below the background. But the "edge" I expect to see on the embed isn't showing up.
Here's the filter code, BTW:
Code:
outlineShadow = new DropShadowFilter(5,90,0x000000,0.33,5,5,1,2,false,false,false);

I have an array of say, food products. The array is full and fully visible at first. I have a filtering system, by which I can eliminate, one at a time, a certain category. So let's say that I disable the "fruits" category. The fruits disappear and I'm left with "holes" in the array. Up to this point it's all good, I can handle it. The problem is that now I want to close these "holes" by moving the remaining items around. And I have no idea how to calculate/formulate the logic of this movement.

I have two questions about drawing shapes in action script 3.0, using graphics class (flash.display.Graphics):Question 1.When I draw some more complicated shape consisted of a few simpler shapes (i.e. two circles), and the shapes overlaps, the overlapped region is inverted (is rendered as a "hole"). Is there any way to avoid that?This is simple example of this behaviour:
var oClip : MovieClip = new MovieClip();oClip.graphics.beginFill( 0x000000, 0.5 );oClip.graphics.drawCircle( 150, 200, 70 );oClip.graphics.drawCircle( 250, 200, 100 );oClip.graphics.endFill();this.addChild( oClip );
I know,I can do it using separate beginFill/endFill sections for each circle:
var oClip : MovieClip = new MovieClip();oClip.graphics.beginFill( 0x000000, 0.5 );oClip.graphics.drawCircle( 150, 200, 70 [code]....
but then when I use alpha blending, the shapes are blended separatelly. Unfortunatelly, this is not correct for that what I want to do.I need to draw one beginFill/endFill session but without "holes" in the final shape, is it possible?Question 2.Is there an action script counterpart of the Flash menu option: Modify->Break Apart ?

I am trying to implement htmlText for a text component as the returned string is in html format (with the html tags etc). If I put a text=.... i get the full text, but with the tags (which i want converted to html). So i use htmlText=.... and it formats it fine, but cuts half the text from the variable. The text im supposed to get back has tons of html tags, and maybe its cutting it somewhere because of the tag its not able to escape... How do i fix this?

I need to know how to add a stroke to an object after I have created it.
I guess the simple way of explaining is if I draw a circle without a stroke, how do I add one to the circle?

So I like the whole convert stroke to fill option in the Modify menu, but what if I want to apply a stroke to a fill?
In other words, if I created a circle, then delete the stroke, is there any way to the regenerate the stroke? I mean, if I press A I can see the contours of the fill - can I just turn that into a stroke? In the properties menu, if I click on stroke (which as its colour has the white box with a red diagonal line) it's all greyed out. Am I missing something obvious?

How do I add a stroke to text in Flex 4? Specifically I'd like to add it to a Label (the text will change in it).
The closest solution suggested has been to add a drop shadow filter as shown below. I've added a rectangle with a stroke for comparison. If the stroke weight is between 2 to 3 it's acceptable. If it's above or below that then it's too blurry or rough. In my case I need to support 2 to 6 weight.
A follow up question would be is it possible to create a stroke filter through Pixel Bender.
