I have one simple app, loads an image and then via class that extends shape the user is able to draw. Now I want to create an eraser tool so the user could erase something that he dislikes. As far as I know the easiest way is to make:
Code:
lineStyle(size, 0xffffff,1);
moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);

I have this file http:[url].... Basically lines gets drawn where ever I tween the animation.arrow MovieClip. What I'm wanting to do is be able to rewind the MovieClip and have the line erase its self step by step.

If I skin a button and use the AS3 graphice.clear() and graphics.lineTo and beginFill to create a shape, the button overlaps other items in the container.
When I use the and mxml to create the same shape, the button is neatly positioned inside the container.
using pencil tool inside flash i can create stippled line style, well, im using graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY) to create a drawing API but i need use some in this line a style like stippled stroke, or if is possible use stroke ( and how ) to make the same line using stippled style?
How to custom this line?
If I have a sprite, with which I have drawn some stuff, how do I erase part of what I have drawn? Preferably I could use drawRect with some "alpha=0" paint. However, I don't believe beginFill lets you set an rgba color (like you can in bitmapdata). Setting alpha = 0 in beginFill doesn't really do anything -- it just draws nothing. In my particular use case, masking isn't an option. Also, calling clear() isn't a good solution since it clears away everything.
View 3 Repliesis it possible to erase vector graphics run time...
e.g. you have some dirt in one layer (a vector shape), the layer below containing an image, and then "wash" the dirt away with the mouse cursor...
In the previous version, the eraser tool only erase things on the single current active layer, but then in CS4 (maybe it's just my problem), the eraser tool simply erase everything on the stage, no matter which layer they are in, except in locked layer.
Is it a bug for cs4 or hv I set something wrong or what?
I am trying to draw a line from x1, y1 to x2,y2 and i want it to be a line that repeats a pattern from an image. All I can see is that you can only draw lines and change their color or thickness but I would like it to repeat an image. Is that possible or do i have to use a really long and thin rectangle with a bitmap fill?The problem is I am making a game where the user will be able to actually draw the line so i have to make it be created dynamically. The game fantastic contraption [URL] has in the game a feature where you draw lines of any length and position that are filed with a picture.

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?

View 5 RepliesI'm working on a SmartVersioning ad using MediaMind using ActionScript 2 (the publisher doesn't allow AS3).
Skipping over how it's implemented - basically what I have is a collection of MovieClips on the main timeline that contain a swappable image (through the Smart Versioning service). You can only define objects as Smart Versioning objects if they are on the main timeline.
What I'm doing with this is using BitmapData to use the assets on the main timeline as a source for the graphics throughout the animation.
Should be as easy as:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(143, 230, true, 0);
bmd.draw(_root.person1);
attachBitmap(bmd, getNextHighestDepth());

I am trying to display photos as a slideshow with some transitions effect. I am having error when using TransitionManager, the error code is
"1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Loader to an unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."
To me it seems like TransitionManager can only be used in MovieClip and the XML file is link to .jpg.
Is there a code to convert the Graphics into MovieClip and make the code work. Or is there a better way to do the slide show using XML data.[code]...
I was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

I have a program that dynamically draws a polygon wherever the user clicks on the screen. (using lineto, moveto) However this polygon is always behind the other symbol objects on the screen even though its added last in the childlist. Is there an issue with depth when drawing symbols vs. drawing with lines? How can I ensure my dynamic object will display in front?

View 0 RepliesI'm coding games that come with the graphics done. Unfortunately the designer has some bad practices, such as not using Sprite symbols - never. And the files have dozens (even hundreds) of symbols in the library, very few of them with any animation. I would like to re-brand such symbols as Sprite to save some CPU (and maybe even kB), but my graphics-related skills are very low. Where should I start? Check and convert the symbols at authoring time or it's possible to do this at runtime? Can I effectively convert a MovieClip to Sprite (I'm guessing casting to sprite won't help much) or another light image type?
View 3 RepliesI'm still in the process of completely moving from AS2 to AS3 and I felt confident how to do this in AS2 but AS3 is much slower to work with. I'm generally ok with all the syntax changes but I'd continued to put all the code into my FLA and not multiple classes. The primary reason for this has been because I still need to visually design how parts work and use that repeatedly in different pages and sections (and for web projects the big files are all images and data which I load externally anyway). Yet as projects get bigger and we have multiple team members we need to break it all up.
So I'm taking a simple use case of a button. I want to reuse one button style with a number of different states and functions contained within it. It has some methods I can use to pass it a new title or set properties like whether it is Active or Inactive, Selectable or Visitable and all of those properties define different responses when events occur. All that code lives in a class, but that's linked to graphics within a movieClip that are designed through the Authoring tool (visually not code). Thus I have a final button.swfHow then do I reuse that Button across other pages (in different FLAs) that are designed in the Authoring tool and where I can update the button without updating all of the finally composed SWFs of those pages. Using a shared library asset slightly makes sense but that still requires recompiling the project each time and does that bring through it's linked classes too?
It doesn't seem right to need to load in the button.swf repeatedly, shouldn't I be able to load it in once and then it's available to the whole application to just initiate it as I want it, eg. button1:myButton=new MyButton() , and set it's properties each time.Also I can envisage that since I'm doing this in AS3 I'll get errors because I want to instantiate something that a parent SWF is loading in. Then the issue I struggle to understand how to deal for AS3 is how to tell the buttons to target a _root function with individual parameters that I set in it upon creation
i am trying to receive in my function as a parameter either a shape or a sprite and then access their graphics property, but this gives me an error:

View 1 RepliesFlash 8 - AS 2.0
Ok kiddies. I've been toying with AS and trig. and have a little wiggly worm that half-heartedly responds to the mouse just as I want. It's created by looping 30 times through a for loop and using attachmovie() like this.
for(i=0; i<30; i++){
attachMovie("mcCircle", "mcCircle" + i, i, {_x:mx[i], _y:my[i]});
}
As you can see for their depths I have used the increment of the for loop. So I have 30 clips with depths from 0 to 29. On the other hand, the graphics which have been statically placed on the stage have these depths.
instance7:-16352
mcThought:-16355
instance6:-16357
mcCode:-16360
[Code]....
What I need is to place the mcCircle clips underneath some of the objects on the stage. Imparticularly, the menu bar at the top of the stage and the logo at the bottom while staying on top of the background. I just want it to look like it's going behind these two graphics. I've tried a number of things and have ran out of ideas. By the way - the bottom of frame 27 of the actions layer has the code that is outputting the depths in the Output panel in Flash.

View 5 RepliesI am making a demo where an object is moved around the screen with a line tracing its movement. The speed of this noticeably slows down over time. I tried it both with an enterFrame and by setting an interval. I imagine it has something to do with the graphics class vector drawing and garbage collection. Here is a simplified version for demo/testing. If you run it you will see the line drawing slow down over time. Is there a way to achieve it without the slow down?
I read somewhere of a technique where you use the bitmap data class to draw on a stage-sized bitmap.(I've never programmed the bitmap data class before).
Here is the code:
code: var lineX:Number = 100; var lineY:Number = 100;
var deltaX:Number = 10; var deltaY:Number = 10;
var lineDrawing:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
this.addChild(lineDrawing);
