I am looking to draw a curve through N points. The control points will be constantly moving so ill need to keep updating the line ON_ENTER_FRAME.I have looked on Google, and i found some dedicated libraries,URL...But i dont have a clue how to use it.Does anyone have any advice for me on how to draw the curve?
View 2 RepliesI have an array of points and I need square planes to be drawn between these points and distorted if points change their coordinates (see what I mean in the attached file).So what is the best practice I should use to create such set of planes knowing just coordinates of the points (planes vertices)?

View 2 RepliesI'm projecting some vectors using the Utils3D.projectVectors() method. This gives me the (x,y) screen points. Then I'm using graphics.drawGraphicsData(); to draw a GraphicsTrianglePath containing these points.
The points are drawn at the top left (0,0) of the stage, but I want them to be at the middle (275,200). I know there are several ways of doing this, like for instance, adding 275 to all the screen points x values, and adding 200 to the y values, but I think that would be a massive operation.I can also set the sprite containers x and y, but I want its position to stay in the top left.
Simple way of drawing it in the middle?
I am trying to draw a continuous curved line in flash. There are many methods but none of the ones I have found so far quite fit my requirements. First of all, I want to use the flash graphic api's curveTo() method. I DO NOT want to simulate a curve with hundreds of calls to lineTo() per curved line segment. It is my experience and understanding that line segments are processor heavy. Flash's quadratic bezier curve should take less CPU power. [code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm having issues with drawing a circle. The code seems to work for drawing all the required segments except one, but tracing the points of the drawing looks correct.This is the class that generates the segments:
package views
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.Point;

I am struggling with an issue where I want to create a function that draws an outline of any object and I want to use this outline as curve path so I can animate objects on this path using Tweener. Like that:
Code: Select allvar path = new Array();

path.push({x:200, y:400});

I'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 am facing a real nightmare. I have many Assets which use strange origin points. I need to essentially draw these assets to a BitmapData, but the origin point causes all kinds of problems. StackOVerflow does not let me attach an image so I will try to describe. Imagine you have the shape of a digit "8". You have 3 of these shapes.... Each shape has a different origin:
1) The middle of the "8" shape
2) The centre of the top "o" part of the "8" shape
3) The centre of the bottom "o" part of the "8" shape
How, with a single drawing routine, can I correctly draw each of these instances to a BitmapData? Ideally I want to find the top left part of any Sprite bounding box, and bitmapdata.draw() from there. But after 2 days, all of my attempts either get clipped.... or using matrices, they do not work for every origin point and different drawings get clipped in different locations.
I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
I am using the draw() method of the BitmapData to encode a jpeg of part of the image. Now this should be easy enough given the object I want to draw to the bitmap is on the stage at design time so I know its location and dimetions exactly! Heres the code I have in place.
Code:
var myBitmapSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( street.width, street.height, false, 0x333333);
myBitmapSource.draw(street, null, null, null, new Rectangle( 96, 5, 571, 450 ), true );
I know for a FACT that no part of the street clip I am drawing out is in negative space, and it's registration is (0,0). However, it cuts off A lot of the top of my image. y=5 in the above rectangle is where I need the top to be, but it cuts the top off of the image... even if I change it to 0, it has no effect.

I'm trying to do some lean blitting for an object that rotates by rotating it once at startup and capturing a BitmapData snapshot of each 5 degrees. The problem I'm having is that the draw() method of the BitmapData object is only picking up pixels in the MovieClip that are below and to the right of the registration point. If I change the MC so that the registration point is in the top left corner, I sometimes get what looks like most of the pixels, but the entire object rotates into and out of the frame, since it's rotating around the corner and not the center.
View 5 RepliesI need to be able to draw a thick patterend line between 2 points in AS3, I can't use the draw API because it doesn't all me to actually put detail (pattern etc) into the thickness of the line, I thought about perhaps using the line to create a bitmap version and then using that as a mask, but I remember many years ago seeing some examples that use a movieclip as a source for a line.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

I am having an issue with using BitmapData.draw(stage). I am getting the following error:

I am following a good tutorial here:URl...And it uses the following example file to display an embedded FLV movie:URL...I am having a problem editing the cue points. If I open the compenent inspector for the FLVPlayback, and then open the cuePoints dialog, I should be able to add, remove, or modify cue points. However, I can't edit anything in the dialog at all. It seems locked.The tutorial clearly states you should be able to edit the points.

View 6 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 and AS2 on a PC. I am making a CD in Flash, for a client. The CD has videos, images and text. What I need is be able to go to the next scene once an FLV has finished playing. Also if a new FLV can be loaded once the curent ends. The FLV is in the FLVPlayback component. I need to add Cue Points which I can use to navigate with. The client would prefer a minimum of buttons, and thus auto navigation once a point is reached.I would prefer to avoid the need for me to use third party software or add-ons unless absolutely necessary.
