Using Flash CS3 If I draw two overlapping rectangles with two different fill colors, I get the expected results.If I draw two overlapping rectangles with the same fill color, the overlapping region appears white, almost as if there were an exclusion blend applied.
View 9 RepliesNormally when we draw a rectangle with linewidth 1 no problem.But if we apply a linewidth more than 10, the corners of rectangle seems rounded shape.[code]
View 2 RepliesI normally use flash, so this normally wouldn't be an issue, but now I'm using Flex (I'm not a different computer). I wrote a very simple program to draw a rectangle. Here is it:

View 3 RepliesIs there a neat minimal way of doing this? (this produces an error):
var freeSpace = shape.freeSpace() // returns Rectangle
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s.graphics.drawRect(freeSpace);
Just looking for a more cleaner way other than something like .drawRect(freeSpace.x, freeSpace.y, freeSpace.w, freeSpace.h) I know you can do it with bitmapData.fillRect(rectangle), but need sprites in this case.
I'm trying to draw a shape but am having a weird issue. I'm not getting any errors, but no shape will show up. I get a blank white canvas when I run the .swf with the following class:

I am trying to write a flash app that will allow a user to select various regions of an image, similar to that of the selection tool in photoshop where a square region can be stretched and selected.
Would anyone have any ideas or tips for me that could get me going in the right direction? I have been researching for tools to help me write this but haven't been able to find anything useful..
when we are running movieclips in flash for a few minutes, white regions or white artefacts will start to appear on the screen, and it will slowly grow in size.we have cleared the objects from memory, but these white regions are still coming.
View 3 RepliesI have a project where i'm drawing to a stageSized bitmap by using BitmapData.drawusing the 'show update regions' feature of the debug player, i can see that the player always updates the whole stage although i changed only a small part of the bitmapdata.Can I somehow make the player only update that part of the screen where there were changes made to the bitmap data?

I have a .png image of all 44 US presidents, I'm trying to figure out how I could break it apart so that each president can be clicked on. I'm a fairly experienced actionscript programmer, have done some game development work in the developer role but never in the design/UI role, thus I'm not great (or even good!) at some of the beginner stuff regarding UI. I was thinking I could use the lasso tool to select an area, then somehow make that selection into a grapic or movie clip symbol, but I can't seem to get that to work and I'm wasting a lot of time experimenting!

View 2 RepliesI've got a small action-script chart, that's meant to be live updating, and also be able to support more than 10000 points of data. The way it's currently set up it doesn't need to redraw the whole chart if the new line we wish to add doesn't extend that chart's boundaries. Yet it does, the redraw regions show the whole chart as being redrawn as opposed to the single line i need to add. When the chart gets a new piece of data from the javascript it does the following.(some stuff has been stripped for clarity.[code] Is there any better way to do that, that won't redraw the whole screen? Is my coding pattern wrong for this type of update?

View 0 RepliesI've been making a flash animation for a client - the dimensions of the stage are 2,000px wide, 800px tall. They want a graphic in the background and a snow effect in the foreground.
The code I have written uses TweenMax to move a snowflake that has been dynamically loaded from the library on to the stage using attachMovie. When the clip leaves the stage, it is deleted and a new clip is created at the top of the stage.
I expect flash to redraw the background that the flakes pass over, but flash seems to also be redrawing space between the flakes - as if they were one movieclip - even though they are separate instances.
I have an array name region it has a couple of properties. "code", "name", "value"
I want to store this array in an indexed object called regions.
I would then like to access the object by referring to its sub property name
regions[1].code
regions[1].name
regions[1].value
I can set an array region.code, region.name and region.value but I can not set the regions values
regions[1].code = "abc"
regions[1].name ="alphabet"
regions[1].value =26
note: region is singular and regions is plural(many)
Can someone outline the variable definition and construct so I can access this information. Happy to replace the index field with the code value.
Is there a way in flex (Flash Builder 4) to make regions like in c#, to group a part of the code allowing us to collapse it and see through our project more easily?
In c# it's like:
#region exammple
// my funtions I want to group
#endregion

I have a number of transpaente PNG's that are loaded into MovieClips they are various different shapes on a transparent background. The problem is, when I add rollover actions to them, the active area is the entire Mc, alpha and all. I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to make it only active in the area where the png is not transparent. I tried, duplicating it and using it to mask it's self, but the active area is still the same.

I have a mutli-swf project where it makes a lot of sense to exclude the core set of classes from SWFs that will be loaded later in the program flow.I do this using the "excludeXml" option of the mxmlc compiler.It "appears" to work like a charm, BUT
on IE6/IE7 on Windows, I consistently get VerifyError #1014 when loading the SWFs that were compiled with this option. Oddly, not when cache has been cleared, but otherwise every time.
how can i get an objects "main" width, the width whe object whould have widthout all the added children?

Of course the AsDoc compiler complains that those classes are not defined anywhere. Does anyone know how to make it ignore these class types?
