ActionScript 3.0 :: Draw An Actual 1-inch Square?
Jul 9, 2010
I'm trying to draw a 1-inch square so that when I hold a ruler up to my monitor, the rendered square measures exactly 1 inch.But when I draw a screenDPI x screenDPI square, it does NOT measure 1 inch.In fact,screenDPI remains the same even when Capabilities . screenResolutionX (and Y) change.I'm guessing screenDPI is really max theoretical dots per inch for your monitor at it's max resolution,or something like that.So is there a way to draw an actual 1-inch square?

I found the following code within a tutorial on the Kirupa website showing how to draw a square using ActionScript but I was wondering if it would be possible to modify this so that each line is animated in turn to construct a square (similar to the mouseover effect on the URL...website (right column 'Showcase' graphic)):[code]

I am trying to work with this flash tutorial -[URL] So far it draws with a simple rounded line. I have been extending this application by making the drawing board bigger and other small things. I now want to be able to choose the line style. Currently it is rounded and I want to choose and draw with other shapes - square, forward slash (/), backward slash (). Is this possible? If so, could you explain how I could go about it?

I have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....

I am using the draw() method of the BitmapData to encode a jpeg of part of the image. Now this should be easy enough given the object I want to draw to the bitmap is on the stage at design time so I know its location and dimetions exactly! Heres the code I have in place.
Code:
var myBitmapSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( street.width, street.height, false, 0x333333);
myBitmapSource.draw(street, null, null, null, new Rectangle( 96, 5, 571, 450 ), true );
I know for a FACT that no part of the street clip I am drawing out is in negative space, and it's registration is (0,0). However, it cuts off A lot of the top of my image. y=5 in the above rectangle is where I need the top to be, but it cuts the top off of the image... even if I change it to 0, it has no effect.

I'm trying to do some lean blitting for an object that rotates by rotating it once at startup and capturing a BitmapData snapshot of each 5 degrees. The problem I'm having is that the draw() method of the BitmapData object is only picking up pixels in the MovieClip that are below and to the right of the registration point. If I change the MC so that the registration point is in the top left corner, I sometimes get what looks like most of the pixels, but the entire object rotates into and out of the frame, since it's rotating around the corner and not the center.

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 am having an issue with using BitmapData.draw(stage). I am getting the following error:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/bla...bla...bla.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access. Here is a portion of my code:
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2800, 2100); bd.draw(stage);//this is where the error happens All of the files referenced (.xml/.jpg/.swf) are located in the same local folder as the main .swf. How do I get around this error? The main objective is to print the stage using PrintJob(). I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 and publishing to Flash 10.0/10.1. Let me know if I need to supply any more info.

I am trying to get the stage width of the FLA in as3. Obviously, stage.stageWidth works well, the only issue is that when viewing the the SWF in an HTML page when you are zoomed in or out it gives you the relative width of your current view. For example, my stage width is 800x600 and when I trace out the stage.stageWidth it is showing up as 800 as long as I am viewing in my browser at 100 percecent, but once I zoom out in my browser the stageWidth gets traced out as a smaller number. Does anyone know how I can dynamically get the stageWidth of the FLA and have it not change regardless of how you are viewing the HTML page

I am trying to retrieve my SWF's referring document filename. For example, if index.html is calling mymovie.swf, I want to return index.html. I know this can be done through a combination of scripting and flashVars, but I would like to avoid that for security purposes. The flashVars variables can be seen by anyone who knows how to view source. Is there a way to accomplish this solely in Actionscript? or Flex?

I have converted my MPEG video recorded from my camcorder to FLV to use on "Flash CS4" using "Adobe Media Converter". But the FLV playback on the "Flash player 10" is alot smaller than the playback of the MPEG video on "VLC". Is there anyway to adjust any properties to get the FLV to the actual size of the MPEG video?

I like to know is "where, exactly, are you drawing that glyph?" The TextField class provides the methods getBounds and getCharBoundaries, but these methods return rectangles that extend far beyond the actual bounds of the whole text object or the individual character, respectively.
var b:Sprite = new Sprite();
b.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF0000);
var r:Rectangle = text.getCharBoundaries(4);
[Code].....
Is there any way to get more precise information about the actual visual bounds of text glyphs in ActionScript?

I'd like to get the actual height of a component after adding some children.
When inspecting the variables tab in debug mode, I see 2 different height variables:$height (which contains the correct value: 138) and height/_height (which contains a wrong value: 10).
I guess that the display is not updated and so I'm not getting the correct height using component.height, but how can I get the value in $height?

how you can pause an actionscript code? I've found posts which explain how to pause animations, but none on how to pause actual actionscript commands .A quick example would be to make a box increase in size (which was done through AS). But when it gets to 100 pixels wide, i want it to pause for 3 seconds before continuing again.

I've decided to take the jump to AS3 now but im having a lot of issues... Im trying to load an external swf into a movieclip.
In AS2 it would be:
PHP Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("mainLoader.swf","externalLoader_mc");
[Code].....
How can i load the URLRequest into an actual movieclip as i have done in AS2? As far as i know the load function only accepts one variable. ATM the external swf im loading is just going into thin air and i can't get anything to happen (i have the functions created to deal with the events btw).
Edit: Just fixed it by adding externalLoader_mc.addChild(myLoader);

I don't really use Flash, but was just trying to put up a little video demo online.
Just dragged the video onto the canvas, published it as an .swf, but when I upload it all and visit the web page, the video clip / swf isn't displaying.
Its fine in the preview though.
