ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Line And Animate In Wave?
Apr 1, 2011
I want to create a organically moving background for an application I'm building by creating a line that animates in a wave and changes in thickness. This is the background the designer made and that I want to animate

I don't have enough right to post a picture. I tried to use the Hype framework but couldn't get it working properly. I think I need to work with some Math functions but I don't know exactly how to tackle such a thing.
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.
i'm trying to animate the drawing of a picture with my wacom tablet, but the only way that i know how is to start with the full drawing and erase frame-by-frame backwards, which takes a lot of time and can look choppy.
I am developing a white board application which allows the user to draw line with arrow head (some like Microsoft Word line with arrow feature). I am using graphics property along with lineTo() method to draw a line. Now i have to draw a angular arrow on the last point of line. I am drawing the arrow by connecting the points around last points. As 360 line can pass through this point and each line can have a different angle of arrow.
My problem is to animate a line, a line starting from a point and progressively increasing in length over time. I cannot achieve this using the draw methods in flash. Because when using these methods to draw the line the results occur in a "Flash".
I have the following problema: I have an audio file that makes a line move using the computeSpectrum method in as3 like this:
Code: Select allprivate function moverSound(e:Event):void { /// SoundMixer.computeSpectrum(arrayMixer, false, 0);
[code]....
The thing is that I have 16 objects at the same time doing this, and it gets too slow. So I came up with an idea to solve this, and my idea is to instead of calculating the spectrum every frame that I would have a defined movement that looped, like the movement of a flag repeting.
I need to animate an electrical one-line drawing to illustrate "current flow". The path will take several 90-degree turns. I'd like this animation to mimic PhotoShop's selection marquee or "marching ants". Does anyone know where I can find a script to program this type of animation?
I want to draw then animate a line using Tweener. The problem with my code is it does not just tween the width it tweens the dot I create in the x and y directions. giving me big blobs rather than long thin lines.
I want to give a cool abstract art feel to my program so I am trying to animate a line waving... the only problem is that this is day 2 searching for a tutorial and I can't find one in AS3... they're all in flash.I can easily find how to draw a wavy line programmatically, but not animate.If you've ever seen the PS3 Intro, that's kind of what I'm going for, except lines instead of ribbons.
Im building a pretty simple drawing board in flash, i got this code from this forum and it works fine (there is more to it but this is the drawing part)[code]This works fine. But i want to be able to erase the drawings, step by step this is ths tricky part, ive looked everywhere(ok not everywhere) but in a whole lot of places but the only thing i found is how i could delete everything with removeChild and that in not what i want. Maybe i need to change the function abowe? Please help me to get in the right direction. What should i read about /look at?
How do i animate a drawing line? I mean like from point A to point B, the flash will show it is "drawn" itself.Can I do it simply without actionscript? Is it possible? Because I have many lines to draw, to make it into a diamond.
What I'd like is the ability to draw a line with the drawing tools in Flash, and have that line appear onscreen as if it were being drawn. I don't think there's a way to do that with the animation tools (I'd like to give it a go, but I have no idea, once I've drawn a line and converted it into a symbol, how I could access the anchor points and whatnot of said line to then do some funky stuff with curveTo, or whatever better solution is out there...
With several flashes I'm trying to create, I find that I need to know how to depict a line being drawn or a plant/vine growing (same concept right). Obviously frame-by-frame animation can be used, but that's quite tedious. There must be some other, more productive way to pull it off. Example of the vine: [URL] I've tried shape tweens with shape hints but it didn't render very well at all.
I'm having troubles with the width of a line using the lineTo and lineStyle function, I can put setting the thickness and noScale parameters, and it works fine for no longer lines than 32000 pixels, but when I try longer line, the thickness changes to a bigger width. if you want to try what I'm saying you can prove this by changing the num variable:to 33000 for example:
I'm trying to create a simple graph showing the stock trends for the past few days. In the x axis I have the dates and in the y axis I have the stock value. I have to do this dynamically and I think I can figure it out, but I need help with something else: I need to be able to (dynamically) draw the slope of the line as the user clicks on a point... something like in www_calculusapplets_com/twicediff.html except that instead of having the slider the user will click on the actual line.
I am having some trouble drawing a line between two movieclips. One of the movieclips is moved with the arrow keys. The line is created between them, but every time the movieclip moved another line is created. I would like only one line to connect the two movieclips. I am trying to create some sort of "AI." When the line hits a wall, then there isn't a clear line of sight. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code: stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveguard); function moveguard(event)
I was looking for tutorials on drawing in flash using actionscript and all of the tutorials I found showed how to create content instantly (with the click of a button etc).But I was wondering if it was possible to use actionscript to draw a line from coordinate A to B over, say 12 frames?
Drawing a simple line is easy - here's some sample code here from Kirupa:
[Code]....
My First Question is - how can you get it to show the drawing of the line - almost like an animation? This example instantly shows the line - I want the appearance that you're watching the line being drawn. Do you animate the lineTo variable and just keep refreshing? My Second Question is - can you do the same with a Bezier curve? In the end, I'm trying to draw random bezier lines from the left to the right in varying thicknesses and shapes (being able to see them being drawn from left to right).
I have a line drawing that I have to animate it has curved lines like the image attached.I have tried tweening however it looks terrible and not smooth in it drawing.this is the action script I already have so far.
createEmptyMovieClip ("curveLine", 1); with (curveLine) { lineStyle (2,0xffffff, 600);[code].....
right now i can create a straight line from mouse down to mouse up. what i cant quite get is a preview of that line. does anyone know of a simple way to show a preview of the line while the mouse is still down and the user is moving the mouse?what i have now:
Code: var clip:Shape = new Shape(); addChild(clip);[code]......
I've followed the drawing api tutorial off here for MX and have got that working perfectly. I would like to adapt this now if I can so that when a user clicks a straight line will follow their mouse until they click again and this releases the straight line.
I'm trying to make a short script in AS3 which will simply take some animated lines that are in a movieclip (pre-animated in library) and draw a 15px diameter circle around each vertex / point of the lines.
how to access the vertices of the lines in actionscript!
I started working with AS3 a month ago, I know the basics and stuff, but I can't do that much. The user would draw lines by clicking on the stage. The code works exactly as I wanted it to, but it is on AS2 . I tried, but I can't 'convert' it to AS3. I would like to know how this code would work on AS3! Here's the download link of the .fla, so you can see better what I mean: [URL].
