Flex :: Manipulate Shapes In Adobe?

Sep 18, 2009

I'm working on an application where I'm drawing some rectangles on the screen, and then will need to manipulate the shapes (change their size, location). I tried to do something with .drawRect and clearing the shape each time I was manipulating it, but the RAM usage was spiking and then falling (presumeably because i keep reinitializing a new component and then removing it, and garbage collection was cleaning it out). This seems like its probably not the most efficient way to do it.

Is there a way for me to just create a shape once, and then move it around on a canvas (and change its width and height without all this RAM usage?

Professional :: Bug When Deleting Anchor Points

Oct 10, 2011

I think I discovered a bug. Say this is a line with anchor points:
 
x---x---x---x---x---x---x
 
And this is what I want to achieve using the Delete Anchor Point Tool:
 
x-----------x-----------x
 
Then this is as far as I'm actually able to get:
 
x-------x---x-----------x
 
Because for some reason, if I delete the 2nd anchor point, the 3rd will be deleted too. I can, however, delete the 3rd without deleting the 2nd.
 
It is only after I've moved the 3rd further away that I'm able to delete the 2nd, but this gets tiring after a while.

Flash 9 :: Anchor Points In Canvas Resize?

Oct 13, 2008

I've got a flash animation of an extruding box drawn frame-by-frame for a "hand drawn" effect. The problem is that I now need to make twice as many frames to allow the box to extrude twice as far, and the canvas is too small to support this; the box would end up outside of bounds. I've tried resizing the canvas, but the extended space is at the opposite end of the canvas from where I need it. In photoshop you could chose where the added space "grew from" but I don't see that option here. Anyone knw a work around It'd be a pain in the tail to have to move very object in every frame for every layer.

CS4 :: Select Multiple Anchor Points Across Separate Layers?

Jan 21, 2010

I can can select the anchor points as "white" quickly, but I can't get them to be "black" without doing it layer by layer, which is tedious. What I want is way to select lines that are in different layers and get the points I selected in a way similar to the regular selection tool or free transform tool.

Professional :: Can't Nudge Anchor Points Using Subselect Tool?

Aug 20, 2010

I've been experiencing an intermittent issue in Flash CS5 where sometimes I can't nudge anything using the subselect tool. Sometimes I can, but most of the time I can't, and I don't know why.I can still click-and-drag points (or multiple points/paths), but I can't nudge them using the keyboard.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MC - Position Of The Anchor Points Refreshes Every Frame?

Aug 5, 2003

I always see these bezier curve things where you can like choose how to make the line bend and everything and today i started expirimenting with the drawing API and found out that it's incredibly easy to do. My question is how do you make it so that the position of the anchor points refreshes every frame? I have the basic idea I just can't quite figure it out.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Import Bezier Pen Anchor And Control Points

Apr 20, 2011

How can I translate bezier pen anchor and control Points into drawing API code? I would like to design my shapes by hand in flash or illustrator, but have the final application draw them on the fly via the drawing api. The only way I can think of is to create a pen tool/drawing application in flash first, and record as you draw.

Flash CS4 :: Select Multiple Anchor Points Across Separate Layers?

Jan 24, 2010

I am talking about anchor points on a line, not a keyframe. They are also called "handles". I can select the anchor points as "white" quickly, but I can't get them to be "solid"without doing it layer by layer, which is tedious. What I want is way to select lines that are in different layers and get the points I selected in a way similar to the regular selection tool or free transform tool. Here is an image of what I'm trying to do, but more easily. The lines are on separate layers, but when I select them with the subselection tool I have to go layer by layer selecting the points. I'm trying to look for a very quick way of doing it. When I do select all with the subselection tool on, the anchor points are only "white" and not "solid" as shown below.

Flash - How To Give Edit Points On Pre-Created Shapes Or MovieClip

Aug 8, 2011

Say User uploads a front facing photo. I give co-ordinates. I want to give user facility to move the points to match eyes and lips on their uploaded photo. So I want to get the editable shape. I think we will need to use bezier curves for this. How can I modify my code to line through the bezier control points?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Import Shapes Directly From The Library As Shapes And Not As Sprites / MovieClips?

Feb 17, 2009

I have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.

Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?

Draw A Continuous Curved Line From 3 Given Points At A Time?

May 10, 2011

I am trying to draw a continuous curved line in flash. There are many methods but none of the ones I have found so far quite fit my requirements. First of all, I want to use the flash graphic api's curveTo() method. I DO NOT want to simulate a curve with hundreds of calls to lineTo() per curved line segment. It is my experience and understanding that line segments are processor heavy. Flash's quadratic bezier curve should take less CPU power. [code]...

Actionscript 3 :: Calculating Evenly Distributed Points On A Line Of Points

Oct 3, 2011

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:

The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Manipulate Instances

Feb 3, 2009

I am having trouble manipulating instances of xml loaded pictures. I want to change their x and y position and tween them etc. I have loaded them onto the stage from an xml file, and given them all individual names but the most I can do now is either move them all together, spread them evenly on an x or y axis, or remove one of them using getChildByName. What I can't do is what I want to do, which is place 20 or so images in an exact place, ie. a square.My main difficulty seems to be that I don't know how to reference an individual xml node and move it.

Manipulate A Specific Object's Timeline?

May 7, 2009

I'm using AS 3.0, and I'm trying to change the frames inside a specific object's timeline.The change will be triggered by keyboard events, but I don't know whether to add the eventlistener to the stage or to this. Also, it doesn't seem to be responding to anytime I use a gotoAndStart() or gotoAndStop() it just ignores it completely. Is it calling the stage's timeline when I call this? It also doesn't help when i add this.gotoAndStart() or this.gotoAndStop(), so how do you change the frames outside of the main timeline?

What I want to know: is it possible to manipulate the flash so that if the [url]...then london remains highlighted on the flash map. I presume I will have to use some AS which is fine as long as it is AS3.

Flash :: Manipulate UI Elements Via DispatchEvent()?

May 13, 2010

I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect.

I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon:

package sandbox {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;

[Code].....

As we can see, the events are being captured and replayed successfully. However, no change occurs in tf2 - the mouse cursor does not appear in tf2 as we would expect. In fact, the cursor remains in tf even after the tf2 events are dispatched.
