ActionScript 3.0 :: Draw A Line That Goes Around An Irregular Shape?
Apr 21, 2011
I am trying to draw a line that goes from point A to Point B. Along the way there are objects (of any shape) that force the line to go around them in order to reach point B. It cant go through them. This is like directing someone using a map. You can only draw a line between the blocks / along the streets.
I tried that using collision tests. Fine, I can now find the coordinates at that instance, but I still cant get the line to go around the object before proceeding to point B.

This should be a bit of simple geometry: How do I calculate the points to draw the lines in the code below so that it makes a 2D cone or wedge shape?
import flash.geom.Point;
//draw circle
var mc=new Sprite()[code]...........
UPDATE:I should have mentioned my aim is not to draw a wedge shape, but to draw a line from a random point to the edge of an existing circle.If you're more comfortable with algebra than actionscript,

How can I attachBitmap to an irregular shape?I load a pattern into my movie (pattern.jpg), it is a square image 500x500. I want to draw that image onto an irregular shape. If I do the following it simply shows the large square overtop of my shape. The pattern isn't actually applied to my shape.
Code:
var bitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500, 500, true, 0x00000000);
myShape.attachBitmap(bitmap,1,"auto",true);
bitmap.draw(pattern);

I'm wondering, is it possible to access shape data with actionscript. I want to draw simple lines with "line tool"somewhere in my movieclip and then to access information about my lines with actionscript to get startX, startY and endX endY of every line.

In my app, a user must drag and release a rectangular mc object (rectx) over an irregular shape within another mc object (irregx). There are 13 rect/irreg pairs. Each obj shares an AS2 file that checks whether rectx is over irregx, and proceeds _only_ if the check is true. The script uses hitTest, on mouse release, to grab the number (x) of the rectx being dragged and checks whether it's over irregx. Right now, the check comes back true when rectx is _anywhere_ inside irregx's bounding box whether it's over the actual image or not.
I've noticed that, when the (unpressed) mouse rolls over any irregx, it's oblivious to irregx's rectangular bounding box. It only reacts when it reaches the edge of the irregular shape inside, toggling from arrow to hand at the image edges. Since the mouse knows where the irregx image boundary is, is there a simple way to tap the mouse's 'eyesight' to verify whether rectx is over the correct irregx shape (meaning not just within the bounding box, within the shape inside it)? This can't be that hard.

I'm using actionscript to place a bitmap into an empty movieclip like so:
var bitmap_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
addChild( bitmap_mc );
bitmap_mc.addChild( bitmapPNG );
bitmapPNG is an irregular shaped png of a person, but when I use the movieclip as a button, the hit area is the square shape of the movieclip, not the silo. How do I make the irregular shape of the silo the hit area, and not the surrounding square of the moviclip?

I'm a novice to Flash and I've been trying unsuccessfully to display video with defined irregular dimensions (practically a quadrilateral with various edge size). Would that be possible? I see that there are only several customization options:
1. Positioning in a plane defined by (x,y) that corresponds to the position of the top left corner of the video.
2. Width and height.
If it's not possible in flash, are there any other options with programmable features like that of flash?

In my design I've got a button which is styled in a unique shape. It ties in directly with another button. The simplest way to describe the button is a regular square split into two diagonal shapes (except the hypotenuse is curved).Well, I said Button, I've actually created the button as a MovieClip.Inside the movieclip I use code resembling the following:
ActionScript Code:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myFunction);
function myFunction(event:MouseEvent) {

I need to be able to draw a thick patterend line between 2 points in AS3, I can't use the draw API because it doesn't all me to actually put detail (pattern etc) into the thickness of the line, I thought about perhaps using the line to create a bitmap version and then using that as a mask, but I remember many years ago seeing some examples that use a movieclip as a source for a line.

I'm making a very simple game that lets you draw a curve by hand (using lineTo to the mouse position on mousemove) but now, I need to check wether the line intersects wiith another part of the same line (e.g. a loop)
I first used an onrollover command, and that worked, but not always because the mouse moved too fast (same with hittest with mouse). Then I pre-drawed the line in another mc, used hittest on it, and if it wasn't intersecting, draw it in the real mc. But that didn't work because it used the bounds to test. I guess the best way is to use some mathematical formula, but that would mean I have to save all my coordinates in an array..

Is there any way to draw text in a DisplayObject or Shape using only ActionScript? The only way I can find on the web is by creating a TextField, but I can't add a TF to a DisplayObject or Shape.
DisplayObject implements IBitmapDrawable which can be passed as an argument to the draw function of a BitmapData object, which then can be drawn using graphics.beginBitmapFill.[code]...

drawing out line that will serve as a mask im tryin to animate a drawing out of a line, but the line wont be an animation itself, itll be used as a mask that will reveal outline of a rectangle i'm starting right now and im on this stage so far, the problem is i dont understand why this line is not drawing out horizontally, while it should variables xpos and ypos are coordinates of the position i want to start drawing it from, xcor and ycor are the cooridnates that will be used to stop drawing once it reaches this point, then jump is how fast i want the line to draw(amount of pixels) ps:the type is there because i will also make another case for vertical line.
Code:
lineDraw = function(type, xpos, ypos, xcor, ycor, jump){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.temp.lineStyle(5, 0x003300,100);

I'm using Flash Builder 4 and am in the process of learning. The short and simple explanation is, I want a tab navigator that has tabs that look like this: I know I could do this using an image-based skin, but I figured (and could be wrong) that programmatically drawing the shape would be better in terms of scalability. As long as I get the result I'm looking for, I guess I don't really care if it's mx or spark. I tried doing this:
