ActionScript 3.0 :: Toggle Line Drawn With Graphics.DrawPath?

Mar 7, 2011

I 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Texture (image Fill) To A Line Drawn With Graphics.lineTo()?

May 15, 2009

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Line Games - Transform A Line Drawn By The Player Into A Hit Detectable Sprite ?

Feb 13, 2009

I'm trying to work out how to create a simple demo that works as follows: A ball falls from the top of the stage.Player is able to draw a line anywhere on the stage. The ball will bounce/roll along the line such that the player can guide it at will. I don't think the coordinate rotation will be a problem for me but I can't figure out how to transform a line drawn by the player into a hit detectable sprite -- or realkly any way that I can get those line coordinates into my coordinate rotation routine. To keep it simple, I'm just working on the first part of the problem, getting the line to where I can hit test or know its position.Here is my code so far:

package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code]........

It always traces 0,0 instead of my current line coordinates - and even those I don't think would be sufficient.

Actionscript 3 :: Positioning Flash Graphic Drawn With Graphics Class?

Mar 3, 2010

I'm using Flash CS3 to build a simple drawing application. When the user clicks a button, they select a particular movieclip. After clicking elsewhere on the stage, the clip is instantiated and added to the stage at the position of the cursor. I've also added the option of being able to click on the added clip and drag it around on the screen. And this all works fine.

The problem is that I also want to be able to dynamically draw and add objects to the stage via the Graphics class. Whenever I add objects in this manner, their x and y coordinates are always 0,0 no matter where I place them on the stage. This makes positioning these graphics very very problematic. I created a modified positioning function specifically for these dynamically drawn graphics and while it does "work", it feels less responsive than the positioning for movieclip objects. I'm still trying to optimize this function, but it seems to me that the ideal solution is for the graphics to have non-zero coordinates when placed in the middle of the stage like movieclip objects. Is there some "workaround" to achieve this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Mclips Over Drawn Line?

Nov 2, 2010

On mouse move i have a line drawn using lineTo method. This works like in Paint or most drawing programs: the mouse drawing like a pencil. What i need now, and dont know how to accomplish, is to add a number of mclips over that line. And this mclips should be over the line but separated to each other (different x and y of the drawn line). So in the end when moving the mouse the user should get a line and, every certain distance, a number of mclips over it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Detect Angle Of A Line Drawn With API?

Jun 26, 2011

I'm drawing a simple line with API and I would like to know how to detect what angle the line has and where a ball hits it.Scenario: the player draws a random line in a random angle, a ball comes in from random points and hits the line, the ball then bounces off the line depending on where it hit the line (and of course depends on the line's angle).I draw the red line with this: (on a 400x400 stage)Actionscript Code:graphics.lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000, 100);graphics.moveTo(150, 150);graphics.lineTo(250, 250);The grey, green and purple lines are just demonstation of the ball movement, comming in from outside the screen, hitting the line and bouncing off in different directions. I just made a guess on the angle they will bounce off in.

I just can't figure out how to detect the line's angle and where the ball hits it. So all I have is a ball flying in from random positions and hitTests the line (not coded yet, but no problem to do ball movement and hitTesting with line), I don't know where to go from there until I know how to detect where it hits the line.I know this is a double post (from the Games section), but I realized this place seems to have more activity and not many seem to visit the Games place anymore.

Flex :: Objects Drawn By Flash Graphics Class Exist As Objects?

Jan 16, 2011

Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?

Actionscript 3 :: Get Ending Point Of A Line Drawn With LineTo In Flash?

May 10, 2011

I have drawn a series of lines using flash's graphics.lineTo command, and placed them in an array to be referenced later. Based on certain user interactions, the clips that hold these lines can be shifted to the right, causing the lines to move with them, no longer connecting to the point they originally connected to. So I need to extend the lines by the amount their parent clip was shifted (I've called this incVal). So what I need to do is find the point at which each of these lines ended at, and draw from that point to the left by incVal. How do I get that ending point of the line?

This is my code:

To draw line and add it both to the clip and to an array for future reference:

line.graphics.lineTo(localPoint.x,localPoint.y-10);
membersRef.addChild(line);
parallelArr.push(line);

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetMask - Make Rectangle Clip Visible Through Drawn Line?

Jun 17, 2010

I've got a movieclip of a rectangle in my library which I place on stage to attachMovie. Then I create an empty movieclip which I want to use as a mask on that rectangle clip through setMask. Users kan draw into that empty movieclip. My intention is that only those areas of the rectangle clip become visible where the user is drawing a line. So I used this:

Actionscript Code:
_root.attachMovie("clip", "clip", 0);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
clip.setMask(line);_root.onMouseDown = function() {
line.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
line.lineStyle(10, 0x00FF00, 100);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
line.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
updateAfterEvent();};};
_root.onMouseUp = function() {
this.onMouseMove = null;};

But that doesn't work: both the line drawn and the rectangle clip become invisible. I know it works because without the setMask part the line is drawn. The other way around does work (line.setMask(clip)): the rectangle clip is now masking the drawn line so only the line becomes visible within the rectangle region. But I want it the other way around: the rectangle should become visible through the lines that are drawn!

Actionscript 3 :: Aligning Graphics Line Style Stroke?

Jun 13, 2010

is 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).
