ActionScript 3.0 :: Function - Drawing The Polygon Based On The Number Of Sides
Dec 29, 2011
I'm trying to create a function that draws a polygon with two parameters that are: number of sides and length of sides. You would input a number for side length and a number for the number of sides. Then it would draw the side length, then turn at a angle based on the number of sides, then draw side length again... until it has finished drawing the polygon based on the number of sides that were put in.

I'm trying to find a way to calculate the area of a polygon using lat long coordinates in a Flex 3 site. Hong007 on Google Maps for Flash group was cool enough to post the following function:
[Code]...
I was also playing around with the area calculator at [URL]. These functions produce slightly different results. I'm trying to figure out which one is more accurate. It seems that hong007's function produces results that are on average slightly larger than freemaptools' function. However, I don't know which one is more accurate.

I want to create an app for drawing polygons with a variable number of vertices, with the following requirements (very similar to a vector drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator):
-each click of the mouse on the stage sets a vertice (e.g. draws a small square or circle to mark the spot), which draws a line to (e.g. LineTo) the prior vertice, and so on, until the final click, if close enough to the first vertice, will complete and close the polygon
-each of the vertices of the completed polygon should be draggable with the mouse, so that that completed (or partially completed) polygon maintains its integrity while changing shape, that is, so the user can modify the polygon shape without having to redraw it. it's the second step I'm having the most difficulty with...in general terms, how would I implement this? Perhaps each vertice should be a draggable Sprite containing a small square or circle graphic?

I'm completely useless at maths due to paying no attention whatsoever to it in school when I was a kid so forgive my lack of knowledge of basic terminology.I need a mathematical function that will return a number based on a graph that starts at 0, curves to (eg.) 100 and then curves back down to 0. I have a feeling it has something to do with Math.sin or somesuch wizardry but am not sure.Basically, I want to feed it a number between (eg.) 0 - 60 and for it to return a number on aforementioned curve. The purpose of this is to be applied as a lateral force on some basic ball physics. The idea of the 'curve' is that (depending on timing of the shot) there will be a 'sweetspot' in the timing.

I am using a SildeShowPro for my project. I am trying to write an event listener to the onImageData event and create a conditional that will listen to the final image based on it's number id. Basicly I neet my movie to go to frame 60 after my gallery loads in its last image (number 10). Now, since I am not really familiar with the subject here is what I put together and it does not work...:

I am in the process of learning AS 3 and Flash on my own and currently using the Actionscript 3.0 Adobe Classroom in a book CS4 version. Having a problem with the Lesson Adendum if anyone has done it. This lession requires you to create two buttons. They both draw shapes on the stage. When one is clicked, it draws Rectangles on the stage following the mouse movement. When the other is clicked, it draws Ellipses instead. The problem I am having is that it just draws rectangles and not ellipses when the 2nd button is clicked. Would be greatful if someone could tell me what i am doirng wrong. Here is the code that I have so far. Apologize for the commented out code, I left it in to show what I have tried:

I'm trying to draw a curve based on 24 data points. I want to draw a curved line based on the average of these 24 points. I can draw a line from point to point no problem, but would like a smooth curve. The white dashed line is what I'm trying to achieve:

i made an animation following a motion guide and i drew a line from animated movie clip's previous position to its current position. The problem is that with curves this method is very unprecise... the edges are much too jagged even with the event firing every milisecond.
[URL]
So basically my question is if it's possible to create a nice curved animation using my method or do I have to draw it manually using lineTo and curveTo and snychronise it to the MovieClip's movements or maybe creating some sort of mask to reveal the already drawn symbol?
Code:
var shape:Shape = new Shape();
this.addChild(shape);
shape.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);

I want to create an static drawing (say any animals like giraffe) using some points, lines, drawing etc. Now i want to update the drawing by passing the parameters say height of his legs, its width or its color.The parameters are supplied from the web page. The image will be a 2D image.I am searching on which technology should i implement this for more than 10 hours but cannot find any perfect solution.Right now i am thinking i can use Adobe flash in which i can do some programming to create an drawing and change the drawing by passing the parameters to a Flash file, i think we can pass it when we embed an flv.

I have extensive experience with MS Visio Solution development, and have a need to provide similar functionality in a web interface in the context of a heavily visual product-builder or "configurator". Visio functionality that I hope to reproduce:Visual shapes stored in a sidebar, from which the user drags and drops onto a drawing area Shape creation on the user's end is probably not necessary... just arrangement, sizing, changing parameters etc.A back-end for extracting the parts the user has dropped onto the drawing area, including the parameters they've changed, dimensions, relations between components etc.In the most general sense, I just need an interactive interface.Given the above parameters, is Flash a good option? Is there a development environment that might be better?

I'm trying to come up with a function that can give me an array of unique random numbers based on a range. If they don't fit within that range then it keeps check until it return the correct array of numbers.
Unfortunately I just keep getting an constant loop that crashes flash.
ActionScript Code:
var positions:Array = [];
function uniqueRandomNumber(max:Number, min:Number, len:int, range:int = 100):void
{
[Code].....
uniqueRandomNumber( 200, 0, 6, 40 );
I want to make sure that all numbers are 40 apart from each other

In a nutshell, the swf contains four ads (which link to portions of the site) and each ad uses the Timer element, displaying it for 5 seconds before moving on to the next one. Everything has come together nicely (although I'd like to clean up the code and use classes at a later date - I'm currently taking AS training from Lynda.com).
What's giving me trouble right now is the navigation bar. What I want to do is create four numerical buttons that a) change color during a mouse roll over b) change color for a corresponding ad (for example, when the third ad displays, the number "3" changes from white to gray to show that it is active and goes back to white when the fourth ad comes up).
Right now, I'm at a loss as to what to do. I've tried making the numbers buttons, but I can't control color changes unless I create two sets of buttons: one with white numbers, one with gray numbers.This also makes for some really bizarre Actionscript coding ideas (ex: after I code the function for the gray nav buttons, I have to code functions that make the white buttons work - but this ends up screwing with the ad cycles). I tried making them as movie clips, but I lose the ability to assign a large hit area like I can with buttons.

I have an object which I want to rotate between -45 and 45 degrees, but I want that to be based on the mouse position. If the mouse position is at zero, I want the object to be at -45 degrees. If the mouse position is at the stageWidth, I want the object to be at 45 degrees. How would I accomplish this?

i have a problem with functions, i'm creating a painting app in flash as3. i want to draw two different style a pen and rectangle.
When i draw pen style in first frame there is no problem, but when i click rectangle style in second frame it is drawing with both style. How can i stop or kill other function?
How do I make both of the not drawing. And How can i undo my last action in drawing?
Fla is in the attachement (CS4 version)
in first frame drawing pen;
Code:
var clip : Shape = new Shape();
addChild (clip);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, _handleMouseEvent);

I need to create a specific drawing sequence that uses multple clicks to arrive at a certain shape.
Basically, I need the user to be able to draw a pie wedge over a bitmap image. The actual drawiing is not the problem right now, what I am struggling with is how to control the action based on how many times the person has clicked.
On the very first click, a temporary line is drawn from the center of the image, and the user can move the mouse around to get the first line where they want.
They click again and the temp line is cleared and the final line is put in place. Then, as they move the mouse off that last end point, I need a new temporary line to automatically generate (this is the second straight side of the wedge). They click a final time and that line locks in place and the wedge completes.
Now, the problem I have is that I am using a switch statement to test the clicks. When the routine starts I've got the var _root.c = 0. Here's the switch:
[AS]switch (_root.c) {
case 0 :
_root.canvasArc.onMouseUp = drawFirstLine;
break;
[Code]....
As you can see I am incrementing _root.c at the end of this. This part works fine (I verified that it is making _root.c = 1), but it seems that by breaking out of the switch statement, it doesn't go back and check anything again, so my case 1 never gets read and the rest of the process can't happen. I tried an if statement and even looped through that with setInterval but that doesn't seem to work either. Is there just a smarter way to do this?

I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:

I'm using a game physics library (Box2D) which only supports convex polygon shapes. However, I'd like the level builder to be able to just specify concave polygons without having to worry about that. So, how can I automatically break apart a concave polygon into convex ones (or even all triangles). Speed would be cool, but ease of implementation is more important. The breaking apart will only be done on game initialization.
