ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Boxes On Screen Dynamically
Apr 11, 2011
I am very new to flash, and don't fully understand the drawing system yet. I want the user to be able to draw boxes on the screen. This is the code I am using:
Code:
Select all//Declare boxes
var boxes:Array = new Array();
var num:Number = 0;
//Drawer
var drawer = new Sprite();
drawer.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x00ff00);
this.addChild(drawer);
[Code] .....
How can I have the user see the box as they are drawing it, moving with the mouse, rather than just drawn at the end? Are flash's drawings just one time, or can they be dynamically drawn and refreshed?

I'm making a program that draws a grid of boxes and the color of the box must be different to those adjacent to the box. My code compares the current box's color to those to the left and top. If any of them matches, it picks another random number (as the color). For the tiles on the first row/column, I make my grid's array indexes with negative numbers -1 so that it will not match.
What I have:
private function fillArray():void {
grid = new Array();
grid[-1] = new Array(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1); //paddles the grid[-1][0 to 4] with -1
for (var i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {

I have written up this code from a tutorial, however, I cannot get the boxes to be displayed on the screen.When i compile I get a 1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before colon.
I cannot figure out what it is complaining about, however it is complaining where I am trying to pull in the nodes from the XML file - any help and information shedding light into what I am doing wrong would be very helpful. I seem to have a recurring problem with objects not showing up on the stage that I have programmed - maybe I am not calling them correctly?

I have a order form ,that has a option to add text boxes dynamically.so the user can add boxes as they like and enter their details in these text boxes.there are some fixed text boxes are present on this form.I have no problem getting values/data from these text boxes.I set it up to send details from this form to my email address.I'm wondering how can I get data from dynamically text boxes that are add by user.

I was wondering how to create combo boxes dynamically using action script? I know you can use the component object but tyhat's not what I want to do. Is there another way? What libraries would I have to import to my project's main as file?

I need a function to hide a group of text boxes, I wrote the following to do so -
var allTxtBoxes:Array = ["title_txt","l1_txt","l2_txt","l3_txt","l4_txt","l5_txt"];
for(var i:Number = allTxtBoxes.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {

I have tried the above in various ways including creating a variable but I just get errors to say that I cant apply visible=false to a string, although I want it to act like an object.

I've figured out how to pull text from the database with ASP and populate it in an array that uses looping duplicating movie clips to display.
But.. If the text is longer than the movie clip that is duplicating it gets cut off and the next one in the loop is duplicated below it.

I am trying to make an application that will load XML data into a scrolling info bar and then continually scroll the information without a break (so there is no gap in the display). The textField and container movie clips are created dynamically and then animated once the XML has loaded. I am having problems though as when I choose to duplicate the MC that has the text loaded into it I can't see the text. I have tried two methods of duplicating the movie clip:

I am writing a program in AS3 that gradually draws a line following some points on a bitmap. Firstly I draw the bitmap on the screen ( load into a sprite, add the loader to the sprite and the sprite to the screen) Then I draw the line on it segment by segment.( add an empty Sprite to the screen and then do lots of lineTos)Sometimes my line drawing process goes wrong and I was hoping to see where this happens, but Flash Player 10 seems to have some clever optimisation, so that it waits to put the display on the screen until after it has calculated all of the sections of the lines. This means that if it goes wrong it never displays the picture, and I cannot see what is going on. This is very frustrating when I use the debugger in Flash as it does not even refresh the screen when it reaches a break point how to turn this optimisation off and force it to draw stuff onto the screen as it is calculated.

I'm trying to debug AS3 code on production. I have no access to trace(), can't write to disk or open a socket. What I want is to display something on screen.
With AS2 I could just access _root and create a text field with my trace data.
how I can pull this off with AS3? My class extends Object, it is not a sprite and is never added to a parent display object.

Basically, I have a BitmapData object which is acting as a virtual screen.
I have a MovieClip which I want to render to the bitmap using the same transformation as though the bitmap were the screen. However, the MovieClip is not attached directly to the root
The BitmapData.draw() method takes a Matrix as an optional parameter, which I think I need to set as the MovieClip's localToGlobal transformation matrix. However, I don't know how to obtain or construct this!

I am drawing a rectangle at 0,0 with a line-style-thickness of 4px. It has height 100% and width 50%. The right-hand edge has a border 4px wide, but all 3 other sides are only 2px, suggesting the mid-point of the edge is classed as the border. Why isn't the edge drawn 'inside' the rectangle?

Im writing an IOS game using AS3. Here's the problem- I have an image on the screen that moves around. When the image's y value goes negative (the image is partly off the screen), the frame rates bottom out. I've gone over my code pretty thoroughly, even threw together a few test projects just to experiment. In all the test I do, whenever there is an object that is off screen, even partially, the frame rates drop. It's making scrolling backgrounds impossible. BTW, I'm using Packager for iPhone and a 3G (not 3GS). Frame rates are normally 24 with no problems

In my Flex application, using a custom control, I am making a JSON request to grab some data from the server. My rendering depends on this data such as knowing how many boxes to draw. How can I either force the rendering to wait until I've got the data before drawing to screen or have the boxes draw once we receive the data? I have an event listener for Event.COMPLETE for my JSON request and in there, I call methods that add to the control. I've tried invalidateDisplayList but that doesn't seem to do anything for me?

I have 4 coordinates from which i created a rectangle(using lines). I also created buttons dynamically. It works great for straight line. But when the coordinates generate diagonal lines im having a problem in making it go below the lines or fitting it inside the figure.See my pic for better understanding. I have also figured out how to rotate the button. Here is my screenshot:Here is my code: To generate the lines:
Code:
var myLine:Shape = new Shape;
myLine.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000, 1);

I have a world map on which I display some data. I read long and lat coordinates for two countries from an XML file which is updated with different coordinates everytime. I then map the coordinates to X-Y axis using some projection method.
So, I have x-y coordinates for two countries. I wanna draw a curved line between those countries but curveTo method draws the curve in one shot. I want to animate the curve drawing part so it looks like it is being drawn real time.

I am drawing some circles with a bit of code like this:
Code:
for (var i = 0; i<=1; i++){
for(var j = 0; j<= 1; j++){
this.drawMyCircle(radius,i*a,j*b);
}}
//a and b being the gap between the columns and rows
What I would like to do is add some metadata to each point I create, containing the centre coordinates for that dot (e.g. i*q, j*b). I have no idea about this part. Then with an onRelease event on a given dot , I can get the location. I have never dynamically made an event firing object. My goal is to be able to draw lines between two clicked dots. Unfortunately I have to do this dynamically so I can introduce a bit of variety.

I have a Group on my View, and i'm trying to fill it with some collor and add an mouse event on it, all dynamicaly.the problem is, when i add the mouse event, the group simply turns invisible again. It still exists on the view and responds normally to the mouse event, but i cant see it.here's an code example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" >[code]......
without the mouse event, the group is visible, but it vanishes when i try to add it. i've tried with other events, like the ENTER_FRAME Event and it works normaly, but all the mouse events that i tried turn the Group invisible.i've actually solved my problem using the opaqueBackground property, the Group don't vanish when i add the event this whay. But now i'm curious about the reason of this behavior.

The following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

Screen class in actionscript provides the latest total screen bounds and available screen bound, but doesn't allow to attach listener to listen for changes on runtime.
is there any way of detecting screen resolution changes on runtime, it is required to size the application whenever screen resolution is changed. e.g. in case when machine display is connected to projector/high resolution monitor and then switched back to normal.

does anyone know the best way to go about creating a flash movie that lets you click a button to dynamically create a JPEG screen shot of the movie. i looked around and found a thread close to what i am looking for but it was done in AS3.

I have a several chart components that I have created in Flex. Basically I have set up a special UI that allows the user to select which of these charts they want to print. When they press the print button each of the selected charts is created dynamically then added to a container. Then I send this container off to FlexPrintJob.
i.e.
private function prePrint():void
{
var printSelection:Box = new Box();
[Code]....
I have seen some examples on the adobe site that add the container to the application but don't include it in the layout. This looks like the way to go.
i.e.
printSelection.includeInLayout = false;
addChild(printSelection);

I am using an external actionscript file, and I have dynamically loading images that stay on the screen for X amount of seconds (the user can set the value of x), then it loads the next image. However, this user would like for there to be a transition, For Example, have it fade out and have the next image in line fade in after the image has been displayed on the screen for X amount of seconds. This user would also like a loading bar, much like the one on the flash banner here: [URL] between each image transition.
I also have it so when someone hovers over a button, the flash banner stops, once they rollout X is reset to 1 and starts the counter again, and sets the movie to play at frame 1. Here is the actionscript file: [URL]

Basically I've got a reasonably complex drawing object in a fla and I want to reproduce it in a class definition using the drawing api. However obviously this is a tedious task, so is there some trick or automated method of doing this?
Last time I needed to do this it was a drawing of an arrow and I ended up writing down x,y,width,height values for everything but this one has curves in it which I don't have experience with drawing anyway.

I cannot get this to work. Without the "var drawing", "var drawing being true or false" and the "if statement", it works fine. But I need to add the "var drawing" so that you can only draw if you turn it on by pressing the "draw_btn" button. Note, I do not get an error, the script "apparently" contains no errors. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var drawing = false
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);
