ActionScript 3.0 :: Draw With Dashed And/or Dotted Line?
Apr 20, 2011
As i understand, flash cant assign dashed or dotted linestyles. Ive googled it for a while and found 2 classes which actually draw dashed and dotted lines, but i can't manage to implement it with my drawing tool.
I'm trying to produce a game that on mouse down a dotted line (or just a line) gets dragged out following the mouse until it is realized then it disappears.
After some search and reading the Graphics class document, I can't find a way to specify the line style of a line. I mean whether the line is a solid one or a dotted one.
Is there a way to apply styling to the line of a rectangle that is drawn using AS3? So instead of the solid stroke, can I apply a dotted or a dashed one?
I am using Flex 4 and AS3 and I am trying to make it so that the user can draw a freehand line with the cursor - I have this part done.However, I also need the line to be a dashed line instead of one solid line like it is now. below is my code I am using. I have found some examples on how to do this, but they are all for straight lines, not for a freehand line.
Here's my latest attempt at rendering a dynamic rectange (w/ width, height, border_width, border_color & background_color) I'm trying to render a dashed border, and can't seem to get the code right...
I've reworked my logic about five times, and can get the dashes to render right (almost) but the fill color disappears. It's rendered using actionscript. You can see the issues if you change the border width.[code]...

It seems like the moveTo function isn't behaving right when I get to the end of each line.
I've tried to incorporate Flash seamlessly into a website and the results are pretty clean, but when people actually click a button on the SWF, a grey dotted line appears around the sides of the Flash.This is in Firefox 3 only, but that's what the client uses.
How do I make a line dotted programatically? A line can be made dotted if drawn in the IDE, so it's got to be possible, but there doesn't seem to be anything in the Graphics (lineStyle) class to allow for this.
Im trying to dynamically make a dotted line box around some thing. Making the box is simple but and I make it dotted or do I have to make a lot of little lines. Im going for a selection box like look
How can I create a rounded rectangle with a dashed line? I've seen several routines that draw their own straight lines, but nothing for rounded rectangles.
[code]This code is drawing a colum chart with two columns and drawing a line across the top of both columns. I have two requirements: the line need to be dashed as of now the line starts from top right corner of the first column to the same corner of the second column. How can i shift the line to the left, so that it starts from center of first column to center of second column.
I 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.
I want to create a line tool exactly like flash line tool. But the code that I am using shows the line when we release the mouse button. How can I show the lines while it is drawing[code]...
I'm making a very simple game that lets you draw a curve by hand (using lineTo to the mouse position on mousemove) but now, I need to check wether the line intersects wiith another part of the same line (e.g. a loop)
I first used an onrollover command, and that worked, but not always because the mouse moved too fast (same with hittest with mouse). Then I pre-drawed the line in another mc, used hittest on it, and if it wasn't intersecting, draw it in the real mc. But that didn't work because it used the bounds to test. I guess the best way is to use some mathematical formula, but that would mean I have to save all my coordinates in an array..
how I draw a line through a path line? An example I have a movieClip that is a pencil and it is moving through a path line, now I want to draw the line that the pencil draw.

How do I draw a line across the USA starting in San Francisco in frame 1, moving through Kansas City in frame 5, and then extending to New York in frame 10. By frame 10 I'd like to see the whole line, representing the whole journey I took in my car over summer vacation.
I can make a "dot" do this in flash (ie without leaving a line trailing behind it) but I don't know how to make the line "grow" across the USA over time.
What is the simplest way to draw a 3d line? E.g. I want a vector from (0,0,0) to (50, 100, 50).Do I have to do it the old school way with maths or is there some new 3d drawing API? (I heard f10 had lots of new 3d stuff...)
I'm making a fishing flash game where you drop your hook off a boat and i want to draw a white line from the boat to the hook and the hook can move up and down so i want it to stay with the hook
make two movable buttons connected with a line. When changing position of any button you'll change look of the line of course I know how to draw a line but after MOUSE_DOWN, and I don't know how to remove an old one line, and how make this line t be shown all the time?
My code btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler3);btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
i need to draw a line at runtime, and i found this "myShape.graphics.moveTo(100, 100); myShape.graphics.lineTo(200, 200);" but don't know for sure how to declare myShape, i think it needs 2 lines to declare it properly, right?
