ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip Sprite Versus Drawing With Graphics
Jan 26, 2012I 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?

Feb 21, 2012I'm working on a Flash project in which the user can choose to draw on the stage. To indicate to the user that it's possible to draw, I'm changing the default cursor to a pen image. I'm doing this by attaching a movieclip to the cursor, then hiding the cursor:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
penOn = true;
[Code].....
All this works great, with one problem. The line users draw appears on top of the custom cursor, so if they go back over something they've already drawn, they can't see the cursor anymore. I've tried a bunch of fixes, but nothing has worked. FYI, that first block of code I pasted is attached to the button that turns the pen on, while the second block of code is in the bottommost layer of the movie.
ActionScript 1/2 :: MovieClip Control - Drawing Line By Connecting Dots
Oct 7, 2009I've almost got a bit of flash finished, The .swf so-far is here: [URL]. For some reason the file won't attach but the important bit of code I have so-far is below.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Line Drawing Script On Stage Doesn't Work In MovieClip?
Jul 28, 2011I have a little snippet of code that allows the user to create a line with the mouse, and clears the line if they end up touching the hitbox with the mouse, while they're drawing the line. It works fine when it's just thrown onto the main timeline. However, when I try to encapsulate it within a movie clip, it suddenly doesn't work. At all. Are there any suggestions as to why this is happening? Here's the code.

Flash - When Drawing A Freehand Line With The Cursor, How To Make It A Dashed Line

Actionscript 3 :: Drawing An Arrow At The End Point Of The Line Using Line Slope?
Jan 9, 2012I 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 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.
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Using BitmapData For Drawing Graphics?
Jun 23, 2010I've seen the BitmapData object used for graphics a fair bit, especially in games. Many of these cases have done things in somewhat fundamentally different ways, and I was wondering what the best way generally is.
Method 1: Each animation frame is kept in a separate BitmapData object using an array.
Method 2: The animation is kept in a strip using a single BitmapData object and using the "sourceRect" parameter of copyPixels.
The draw and hitTest methods appear not to provide any "sourceRect" parameter. Most of the code I have seen using method 2 has worked around this by copying the bitmap frame into a temporary bitmap for these methods. This seems like quite a large processing overhead to me. Using method 1 this is generally not a problem, unless hitTest needs to be used with scaling and/or rotation, in which case a temporary transformed copy is still needed it seems as hitTest doesn't except a transformation.
I'm thinking method 1 is the better choice since it avoids having to make temporary copies for the most part, and I don't think it would waste much memory (just the duplicated width, height, etc values?). Is this generally true or is there a reason lots of people seem to do things the second way?
Also is there a better way to use hitTest for bitmaps that have been scaled, rotated, etc?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Improve Graphics Drawing Angle?
Dec 28, 2009I have a code, that draws a horizontal line, then it turns into a slope, and at the end of the slope it draws a circle. Here's a code:
Code:
var xspeed:Number = 1; // defines increments for x of slope
var yspeed:Number = 2; // defines increments for y of slope
var hspeed:Number = 5; // horizontal line increments
[code]....
Create document 800x700 and put this code into main timeline. Now test movie As you can see, everything works great. But there is a problem. The circle is being drawn at 0 degree angle. But I want the circle to match the angle of the slope, so it looks like the slope and the circle are both at the same angle.

View 3 RepliesProfessional :: Flash Self Generates Tween Graphics
Oct 11, 2010I noticed this thing that Flash self generated graphic symbols and names it Tween1, Tween2, etc. I am not sure why it happens. Usually it happens when I tween something and then this accompanying graphic symbol appears in the library. Do I really need them, is it a flash mulfunction and I can safely delete them? why they are happening, am I making all the wrong steps in tweening and thus they appear?

Actionscript 3 :: Aligning Graphics Line Style Stroke?
Jun 13, 2010is it possible to align the stroke of a graphic with actionscript? for example, the following code creates a black rounded rect with a grey stroke that is automatically centre aligned.
var t:Sprite = new Sprite();
t.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0x555555);
t.graphics.beginFill(0, 1);
t.graphics.drawRoundRect(25, 25, 200, 75, 25, 25);
t.graphics.endFill();
the lineStyle function doesn't seem to offer any built-in functionality for aligning the stroke. in Adobe Illustrator, you can align a stroke to be either centre (half in/half out of the fill), inside (bordering within the fill) or outside. (bordering outside the fill).
ActionScript 3.0 :: Toggle Line Drawn With Graphics.DrawPath?
Mar 7, 2011I have an application that creates a chart dynamically. This chart has a lot of information plotted on it (4-6 stock trends). I want to be able to toggle some of those lines with a button. Each trend is drawn with something like this:
Code:
// establish a new Vector object for the commands parameter
var line_commands:Vector.<int> = new Vector.<int>();
line_commands.push(1,2,2,2);
// establish a new Vector object for the data parameter
var line_coord:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>();
// use the Vector array push() method to add a set of coordinate pairs
line_coord.push(0,0, 75,50, 100,0, 125,50);
graphics.drawPath(line_commands, line_coord);
How would I toggle the line I just drew? My first idea would be to put some of this code inside a function and redraw the line with the same color of the movie's background color. I don't know if this is the best option, I was wondering if I could draw this line inside a Sprite or Movie Clip and just toggle its visibility?

May 15, 2009I 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.
