ActionScript 3.0 :: Force Drawing Onto Screen?
Jul 18, 2010I 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.

Oct 5, 2010I'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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing A MovieClip To A Bitmap As Though It Was The Screen?
Jun 23, 2009Basically, 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!
ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Boxes On Screen Dynamically
Apr 11, 2011I 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?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Animation On Path Out Of String
Aug 19, 2010We need to make kind of a path animation out of a string (curved lines) drawing. The designer provided me with this: [URL]. We need a revealing (growing) type of animation that generates from the right, follows every corner and ends up in the left with that giant piece of "mop". Is there a way to do this professionally? Tried the old frame by frame masking, but it looks odd. Shouldn't be some AS3 libraries that just work with paths or that draw paths?

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?
View 1 RepliesIOS :: Drawing Images Off-Screen Results In Performance Drop
Sep 19, 2011Im 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
View 2 RepliesFlex :: Force Delay Render Until Receive Data Before Drawing To Screen
Mar 13, 2010In 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Generate Drawing API Data From Drawing Object?
Jul 22, 2009Basically 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Api Drawing 40,000 Objects
Feb 18, 2009I need to draw on stage about 40,000 4x4 squares each a different color. The color is determined by an xml file. I have this working in as2 and have converted it to as3 the problem is the amount of time it takes to draw is causing cs4 to time out. I have extended the script time out to 60 seconds. In cs3 as2 it would draw the squares in about 15 seconds. I was hoping as3 cs4 would improve performance but seems to be the opposite. I have tried several methods such as adding children and various drawing variations. the bellow seems to work the best, but is still causing flash to crash.

ActionScript 3.0 :: BitmapData Alpha Scrolling - Without Leaving Streaks Of The Side Of The Screen And Without Repainting The Entire Screen
Mar 6, 2012I'm making a side-scrolling game, with a (theoretically) infinite background. I have a block engine that places the blocks on the bitmap canvas. Now here's the catch. I'm using the bitmapData.scroll() function. Now unless I clear the screen each time the character moves, it's going to leave ghost images of the border of the screen, like this picture: zanzlanz. tumblr. com/post/18857712784 If I clear the screen each time, then it generates a lot of lag (because it has to repaint the objects again). I'm a bit lost on how I can scroll without leaving streaks of the side of the screen and without repainting the entire screen.

I need the left side of the stage to be shown in moniter 1 and right side of the stage to be shown in moniter 2.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Making Movie Full Screen, Not Just Flash Screen
Oct 27, 2009Is a command for AS2 to make my movie file play fullscreen (stretch, fit to screen, anything).
goFullScreen(); is great but it leaves white bars left and right. What's odd is that I'm using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder and it seems to display a perfect widescreen that I want as an input and output but once compiled in flash, it's more square leaving me with white bars left and right. The frame for the video in flash is also widescreen looking.
edit: I ended up stretching the width of the frame but if there is a better way through a command that would make my life easier so I don't have to adjust to every monitor that I run this on.
