ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Altering A Shape's Vectors?
Jul 26, 2009
I don't know if i'm in the right category here.I have a line in the center of the screen, and i want it to bend. i guess i have to use vector operations? (I mean, what Illustrator uses. visuals, with vectors instead of pixels). I want to be able to set points, so that the line bends towards that point. And the color under the line should be different than the color above the line. Does anyone know how to get started on something like this?

The bug is where when I shrink a simple circle, it appears to have somehow been altered to the point where the curves are no longer completely circular. Object becomes jagged, then when I bring the the object back to its original shape using the scale tool there the shape is no long a perfect circle.

I have two vector graphics I imported to my stage and want to do a shape tween between them. But shape tween is grayed out. The images are imported Illustrator EPS's. I attached two screenshots.

drawing out line that will serve as a mask im tryin to animate a drawing out of a line, but the line wont be an animation itself, itll be used as a mask that will reveal outline of a rectangle i'm starting right now and im on this stage so far, the problem is i dont understand why this line is not drawing out horizontally, while it should variables xpos and ypos are coordinates of the position i want to start drawing it from, xcor and ycor are the cooridnates that will be used to stop drawing once it reaches this point, then jump is how fast i want the line to draw(amount of pixels) ps:the type is there because i will also make another case for vertical line.
Code:
lineDraw = function(type, xpos, ypos, xcor, ycor, jump){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.temp.lineStyle(5, 0x003300,100);
if(type=="horizontal"){

Imagine you have a chessboard type setup, made of separate squares. Each square is clickable, therefore, it can change colour, something can happen etc.... what I need is to be able to create a new sprite / movieclip / shape, that will appear over the square I have just clicked. If you click the next sqaure, this new movieclip / shape will change colour and cover the two sqaures I just clicked.
To summarise, this new shape is created whenever a square is clicked. The shape gets bigger and covers which ever square is clicked. Think of something like a slime-monster getting bigger and covering the squares which are clicked.

i have a class that creates circles randomly placed at stage, i want then to move those circles and make them bounce off the stage, i know how to do that, the problem is that when i add a new shape into my stage, that shape, has an "x" value of 0, no matter where it appears, how can i check the real "x" value of that shape within the stage, so i can continue with the bouncing check...
ActionScript Code:

I want to do something which is probably pretty simple but I've got absolutely no idea how to do it!What I want is for the Alpha value of an object (movie clip) to change depending on the x position of the mouse. So when the mouse is at 0 the alpha of the object will be 0%, and when it's at 100 the alpha will be 100%

I am using a listbox and have worked out how to alter the format of the text. However, how do i:make the black lines between each item a different colouralter the height of each item - I thought that by making the font bigger, and the leading this would force the list item deeper - but it didn't work

I've copyed the same source code to several scenes, hence I've had to change the variables on each scene, "var spawn" to "var spawn1"I don't get any errors, it's just that in the scenes where I've changed the variables the collision detection does not work.I've checked and rechecked the code and I just cannot figure out this issue.Bottomline, what could have caused functions to malfunction after altering variables and what's an effective way to find the error?

So I have recently created a Tshirt design application where a user can draw on a tshirt / add text / upload images. Though I am having a few problems. Problem #1: Using the pen tool I can only allow users to draw and reset the drawing using the graphics class, no idea how to create an eraser tool
Q1 - Is there any way to create the eraser? Problem #2: Once a user saves the shirt it is later encoded into a JPG or PNG With no way of editing the shirt in the future.
Q2 - I thought of saving the locations of the shapes / items they uploaded onto the shirt and colors and later re-creating the shirt once loaded. But ran into one problem that is I cannot save the drawing they did using the pen tool, only the location of the objects (MC's) is there any better way to creating this?

I've toyed with this script for some time now and I am having issues removing lines of code and still getting my script to work. Basically I want to keep how this code loads and centers the parts of that code that refer to "mc" but I want to take out anything that refers to "bkg". I have gone through the code step by step to comment out areas but when I get to the very bottom, if I comment out this line:

I very often use animated text (rather for menu titles than paragraphs) in my flash works and the render of fonts is usually quite irregular. What I now do is convert the alphabet + figures of the font I am using to vectors (Ctrl + B) on the scene and then make movieclips with each letter, which I store in the library ready for AS to call them. The rendering quality is comparably better. The truth is I've never had to make more than, say 50 clips "by hand", but it would still make my life easier and save me dull time/work if there was a way with AS to transform a text field to vectors...

How would you define/create generative typography ? I thought also of some sort of "intelligent" adaption. For example a font that uses serifs in certain condition or not... Are there some findings in how you could access the vectors of a font in actionscript ?

Is there a way to use getters and setters for Vectors?Say, in my Main class, I would like to write
myVector.push(item);
and in another class, I have written:
public function get myVector():Vector.<int> {
return _opponentCardList;
}
public function set myVector(myVector:Vector.<int>):void {
_myVector = myVector;
}
This doesn't really work as you have to set _myVector to a Vector. But what if you just want to push(), pop() or splice?

I'm currently developing a Flash website that incorporates an flv player. The controls on the player's skin are all vectors. I've set it up so that when you hit fullscreen on the player controls a fullScreenSourceRect is created which is working great. However when the the player is full screen, the once crisp vectors are now pixelated as if they were a bitmap.

Is there any way to modify the vectors of a DisplayObject at runtime? I import a Sprite or MovieClip on my application, and I want to be able to modify the vectors that composes it. A close approach is to use Graphic class, but it always renders below the Sprite, it can't clear the original graphic, and it can't modify the vectors, only draw new things. And if this is totally impossible, I would like to know how I can call Sprite.graphics.drawXXX, so that the graphics are rendered above the Sprite.
