ActionScript 3.0 :: Completely Messed Up My LineTo And MoveTo Sequence?
Mar 21, 2010
I've built a drawing application. Because I've programmed the option to insert symbols (new movieclips), I needed to create a new movieclip each time I start drawing. The problem is that I now completely messed up my lineTo and moveTo sequence, and it just draws from coordinates which I don't understand where is gets them from.The code section is basically:
I have a main lineDrawing movieclip into which i'm creating a new shDrawing each time the mouse moves. The problem is, because it starts a new movieclip each time - it messes up the coordinates of the line drawing.(btw, I can solve this if I could only do some kind of "lineTo" function on a movieclip, so that it "lines-to" from mouse down to mouse up seamlessly, regardless of the speed of moving the mouse.
I'm making a shape (christmas tree) which i can't make with rectangles and circles exc, so i made it with moveTo/lineTo, the problem now is that i can't "call" for it to fill the area inside the shape... how would you do it? Also, i hope i did this the wrong way, because its a really tiresome way of making it. What I've got so far is:[code]
I was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:
transforms x,y,z coordinates into Flash x coordinate xFla = function (x, y, z) { // cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line style(1, "0xFF0000", 100); plot(0, 0, 0); draw(200, 0, 0);
I have four buttons on the stage which I want to move 20 pixels up (easing) and fade in from 0 to 100. But I want them to appear with a interval of 1 second. I came up with the following function:
Code: function showClips(yPos, alpha, speed) { var endY = yPos - this._y; this._y += eindY /speed;
. As far as I could see in the reference manuals, the beginFill() method of the flash.display.Graphics class ends any previous incomplete (i.e., not ending back at the start point) fills by automatically drawing a line to the latest MoveTo() location.But, it seems it also ends any previous incomplete drawing even without fills, by drawing that final line.
But that's ok. The weird part is, even when I draw just one line and begin a fill immediately after that, I guess it tries to complete that line by drawing one more line back to the starting point and the messes up the display with the fill color in the following beginFill() call.
public class MyContainer extends Container { public function MyContainer() {
[code]....
The output is as in the attachment.The first part creates a weird fill along the side of the line till the end of the container object.I even tried a endFill() at line 4, but same result. The only way to prevent this is to explicitly moving to some point as in line 11.
I am working on a simple eportfolio for one of my college classes. I am trying to made one movieclip (instance: main) move horizontally when you click on buttons. I have two buttons one of the left side of the the stage (Instance: show) that slides "main" to the right; and one of the right side of the stage (instace: hide) that slides "main" to the left.
Problem: According to my script now, I can only move the movie once to a defines x-value. How can I get it so when the button is clicked it continues to move "main" multiple times?
I have a "Dynamic Text" element called "output_txt". In my action script code, I have this line: output_txt.text = "I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100";
But what actually gets displayed in that element, after that line runs is: "thinin o ne etween n 00"
Some of the letters are randomly getting dropped. Any ideas on what could be going wrong?
(I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 version 11.5.0.325.)
This isn't actually related directly to the AS programming language, but to the AS editor in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. I think it happened after pressing a certain combination of keys by accident. I haven't been able to solve the issue since.
There seems to be lots of arrows (where tabs are) and the letter P facing the opposite direction at the end of each line.
I have created a neat little function that produces several buttons and inserts labels into each one from an array. It works great until I try to stick the sucker under a mask. When I do that, the labels disappear. I need this mask, but I also need the labels - can't have buttons without labels, now, right?Here's the code I am using:
Code: var mcPosY:Array = new Array(); for(var i = 0; i < 14; i++){
I am following the XML/Flash Photo Gallery with Thumbnails [URL] Everything works great except the thumbnails. The first few thumbnails (the ones originally visible) are fine, but then the rest are all smashed up on top of one another. Is this a problem with my code? The pictures aren't all exactly the same width, so that might be the problem.
My flash movie is made competely in actionscript. Now, when i pick "play" from right-click menu in a browser, everything gets just.. very wrong I suppose there needs to be additional code in the first frame to delete all scene objects?
It seems that the getters and setters for the height are all botched up when the DisplayObject has any rotation applied to it at all.The getter for the height returns the total height of all the bounds.The setter for the height sets the height regardless of rotation.If you set the same value for height several times in a row, you will get about 3 different results until it stays at the same result.If the heigt's getters and setters are different, imagine the ramaflacations involved, first and foremost setting properties via "+=".Just posted up a quick example: (ZIP with SWF is attached - FLA can be made available upon request)The properties "width", "height", and "rotation" are applied in that order as listed, but setting them in a different order will affect the result differently, but I don't have the time for that.
I bought this template see it here http:[url]......everything works great until I want to customize it and open it up in CS3. Once thats done it doesn't work right.it will open but when you have it fill the full screen it doesn't go all the way to the left. and cuts off the last quarter of the site.If I have it where the screen is only half or collapsed, it will fill the page as necessary.So here is the errors I am getting in Adobe flash.Error opening URL 'file:///C|/Users/April/Documents/300109930/html/data.php?main_page=1' 705 1676
I don't know what I did while working in a CS3 Flash document, but I cannot view the frames up in my timline bar. All I can see is the layers there - they take up the whole area and when I try to grab and drag the timeline to shorten the layers nothing happens. I must have hit something by accident
If I run the page locally on my machine, the banner looks fine no matter the browser. however, on the free hosting service server, size and position of certain movie clips are messed up in IE, safari and opera. they overlap in places, and u can see the corner of something that's supposed to be off the stage. why? note: the hosting service put some junk after my </body> tag...

So i've been toying around with the built in bitmap collision detection, seeing as it was pixel-perfect collision testing. I've tried so many times to get it to work, but it hasn't prevailed yet. All the tutorials i've found look like timeline code, but i'm using OOP, however, this should not effect it in any way. I eventually broke down an downloaded a pre written class, but even then, i could not get it to work. Basically, when the two objects are supposed to be colliding, the ground has a red glow, but after making it draw points while colliding i saw that the actual collision shape is some messed up thing.
so im almost finished my first site! very excited. its for my dads business, hes a screening contractor. actually i doubt he will get any business out of it, even once we get our real domain name and everything because i don't even know how to get Google to like it. its OK though, its mainly just a practice site for me anyways before i make a resume site for myself. anyways, it consists of 3 divs, an html content area, and a flash banner and a flash menu, which stretch depending on the window size to keep their aspect ratio. everything works exactly as planned in Firefox, chrome, and pure flash player. but in IE, safari and opera, the size and position of things are way messed up! (only really care about IE). the edges of dynamic text are slightly to the left or right and hanging behind things because of it, same with some movie clips. and when i didn't want things to appear on the stage i set their x position to be the length of the stage, BUT IN IE U CAN SEE THE EDGE!
Download the attached file and test it. Wait a few seconds, maybe 10-20 sec, and then se the a bug appear. It looks nice, but why? I was just playing around with lineTo and then i saw this... What do you think ?
I am making a demo where an object is moved around the screen with a line tracing its movement. The speed of this noticeably slows down over time. I tried it both with an enterFrame and by setting an interval. I imagine it has something to do with the graphics class vector drawing and garbage collection. Here is a simplified version for demo/testing. If you run it you will see the line drawing slow down over time. Is there a way to achieve it without the slow down?
I read somewhere of a technique where you use the bitmap data class to draw on a stage-sized bitmap.(I've never programmed the bitmap data class before).
Here is the code:
code: var lineX:Number = 100; var lineY:Number = 100; var deltaX:Number = 10; var deltaY:Number = 10; var lineDrawing:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); this.addChild(lineDrawing);
I have this file http:[url].... Basically lines gets drawn where ever I tween the animation.arrow MovieClip. What I'm wanting to do is be able to rewind the MovieClip and have the line erase its self step by step.
I'm looking to work out the most efficient way to maintain the joining of two points with a line in AS3. Basically, I have a whole bunch of circles that move around, and have a property subNode which will act as an end point for the line. At the moment, the way I'm doing it is extremely intensive:
I have been working on a drawing "game" in my spare time (which is limited). This is probably a common question, if so I appologize. By the way, I do not have the code here, it is on my other computer. Anyway, I was using the lineTo method and a timer listener to fire the addition of each new line segment, if that makes sense. The problem is that when you try to draw an arc quickly, it looks terrible. It draws straight lines. I tried adjusting the timer, which helps a bit but still not great. I looked at the curveTo but could not figure out a logical way to get the achor coordinates. I did some research online and found some that use addChild with bitmaps. I would rather use lines. Has anyone tackled this before?
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:
I would like to draw a shape with LineTo (following a motion guide) and having this drawing synchronize to the duration of a sound : if the sound lasts 2 minuts, the drawing should take 2 minuts to be drawn.
