I've got a bunch of text that I need drawn on a bitmapdata. I was wondering if there was a way to draw them at certain spots on that bitmapdata WITHOUT creating individual bitmapdatas for each of the pieces of text.

View 9 RepliesI am trying to make an animation where there are several locations(say A,B,C,D,......) made on a map. If a person clicks on one location A and then another location B, I wanted to draw a dotted line from point A (from destination of the plane) to point B (to destination of the plane) using AS3.

View 1 RepliesI have a motion tween right now with a moving point that is following a copied and pasted motion path. Is there a quick way to have the point draw a line behind it as it moves along the motion path??? I can't seem to find a good way to do it in AS3.
View 1 RepliesI wish to draw a (hair-)line, from one point to another. The drawing-api at [URL] gives a nice explanation, but flash is slightly off. The lineTo statement draws a line towards the specified point, not to. It's probably a matter of opinion, but I'm fairly confident that we all agree that drawing a line from (1,1) to (5,1) should result in a line 5 pixel long. That's how we've all learned it when we were young, that how other programming languages do it, etc. (One could state that 'going to school' doesn't mean you actually enter the building , but that's just avoiding the issue) But not Flash. Drawing this line results in a line of only 4 pixels long, the line stops at coordinates (4,1). I can see the benefits in this when drawing (transparent) connected lines and closed shapes, but it has it's drawback when creating single lines.
I'm probably not the first one to run into this problem. Maybe it's just a setting somewhere? How do I get flash to draw a line to the exact point I specify? Preferably without having to analyze the direction of the line and moving the destination coordinates one pixel further.
we have values generator that outputs someting like FF00FF5F. We have some coordinates like 50, 300, 10. We want to draw a point in 3d on stage. Not using PV3d or anething like that. thay say there is going to be no default z sorting but I can live with that...

This is the code that I have found from various web and paste it into one. I want to draw straight line & snap to that point at the same time. My problem is when I click at 2nd point, there is a 'extra' line at (0,0) joining towards my 2nd corrdinate point. I want to get rid of that 'extra' line.
I didn't know where this should go; I thought this was the best place. In Actionscript 2.0 I'm trying to draw the shelf of a closet (wall-to-wall) but I don't know how to.
View 1 RepliesI'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 want to make an editor like this site. [URL] If you browse this link you will find "Button. If you press this button you will navigate to a editor to design your layout. After draw a rectangle or circle or line you can resize that or can rotate that. When you finish if press the "you will back to the previous page where your desinged layout display. If you press the "" again then you will navigate the editor with the previously designed layout. I want to make a site like this. I want to use the flash cs4 to make the editor.

the problem may be a simple one but I can't figure it out. I have an image loaded into BitmapData. now I want to take text from a textinput and put it on the BitmapData. Basically it's drawing a text on the BitmapData and get the result as another BitmapData that will consist of the original BitmapData with the text drawn over it on a specified position
View 2 RepliesI need to do everything with AS3 since both the image and the text is loaded with an XML. Practically I have a picture and above it I'll put a white level with alpha 70%, but as you can see in the jpg the white level has a "hole" in it that is created by a text.I thought that a way could be to convert the text in a bitmap and then, if it is possible, to use the newly created bitmap to create the "hole" with the white level.

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.

how to draw a character like Sprite, so that I can do whatever I want with it.I've seen FIVe3D, which has an automated system which exports an AS file with a description about each of the characters (so that they are represented as motifs - it gets the edges of the glyph and parses it into a script with simple actions as lineTo and curveTo).But this example uses JSFL in order to parse the font (jsfl has functions like contours, interior, getHalfEdge, getControl).

View 2 RepliesI'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.

I'm trying to create the following component: Just for information, the blank space will contain a text control, and I'm creating a component that represents the black corner with the (i) icon and the "promotion" text. The part I'm having issues with is this component representing the black corner with the diagonal text. The text has to be able to hold 2 lines. And the black corner has to be able to adjust to the text's size. What's more, the text has a rotation... I'm having some doubts on how to do this:
Should I have different controls for each text line? Should I draw the text in the shape (after doing the rotation) or should I just overlap both components? [When I talk about drawing the text in the shape, I mean in the same way as asked in this question] Is there any way to get the proper size of the triangle shape without doing some extravagant calculations?

I'm drawing a textfield onto a bitmap which I use as texture for a 3D object. I'm listening for Event.change, and so whenever the user adds a character I redraw the texture. But to really give the 3D object a 'interactive textfield feeling', I want to draw text selections and draw the caret (the blinking text cursor), but by default these a not drawn when using bitmapData.draw(textField), nor can I find a Event to listen for 'textSelected'.
//is there any event that catches text selection / blinking of text-cursor?
textField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, redrawTexture);
//...
//is there any way to draw text selection / text-cursor in the bitmap?
bmpData.draw(textField);
