I'd like to draw a little web tool, which allows to draw freehand just like with a simple black felt-tip, with a button to save what has been drawn on a jpg file on my website. Do you know any examples? I looked for the code on the net, but none did function.

Just opened flash for the first time to find that the pen tool will only draw straight lines.It can still plot points and the lines will join up but curves are impossible.Is there some setting that disable drawing curves? I haven't found anything in the annoyingly-online files.
View 2 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash CS4, and I was wondering why on earth my pencil tool delays when I draw with it? I will click, draw my line (which will be invisible), then when I let go of my mouse/pen, the line appears. Is it supposed to do that? Is there a way to fix it? I hate it, because I can't see what I'm doing. I downloaded all of the updates, and I have more than enough memory on my computer and my processor is more than fast enough. My paintbrush works fine, it's just the pencil.

View 4 RepliesI recently installed the CS5 Master Collection on my MacPro for work. I need to use Flash CS5 in order to work on some projects in the office, however I'm encountering several issues that make it near impossible for me to use the software. First of all, when I start the program and select "New..." and select any type of new file, I'm greeted by nearly every button being greyed out, to where I cannot select them. I've found out that I can make these buttons usable by changing my workspace in Flash.
The issue that's causing me trouble is that whenever I select any sort of "Drawing" tool, Flash CS5 crashes immediately. Whenever I click on the line, pen, circle, rectangle, pencil, or brush tools, CS5 freezes briefly (about 2-3 seconds) and then immediately closes. I can still use tools such as the Pan tool, zoom, text, and selection tool. Also, whenever I select the Spray Can tool, I get the following error:
Unable to load the script. The file <filepath>/ProScripts/sprayBrush.jsx does not exist.
I have already tried updating my system, updating every Adobe product on this machine, reinstalling, and even using a seperate installation CD, but everything thus far has yielded the same results.
Info on my system:
MacPro running OS X V. 10.6
2 x 2.26 GHx quad-core proocessors

I need to make a circle with a brush tool so that it looks like a child draws it. If I make a dot with the brush tool on the first frame and a circle on the 15th frame and then create shape tween between those frames it looks stupid, like the circle grows itself. Is there any possibility of making such a thing except for drawing it per frame?

View 3 RepliesFlash 8, CS3 and CS4 on Windows XP. The issue is that seemingly randomly, when I draw with the pencil tool, the line starts to zigzag and squirm, even though my mouse/wacom tablet is moving steadily. It's little tiny squirms that go in all different random directions. It's pretty much impossible to draw anything when this is going on, and I usually have to do something else for a while and hope it's still not doing it when I come back.

View 5 Repliesi'm working on a class project that allows people to draw on a square, save it, display it for others to see, and then lets anyone to continue drawing on that square.how do i script that? i need to use flash and AS2.0, and i'm trying to do some research on how to do this whole thing, and i'm hearing a lot of things: some say xml, some with php and mysql? whatever it is, i believe this has to be a server-side thing? i don't mind learning light scripting of other languages, but the primary scripting should be AS, since it's a flash class.i'm not sure if this is true, but i think xml, php, and mysql are only text-based? for my project, i imagine that people would be saving an swf and then loading that swf and continue adding. is there a script in AS that generates an swf? maybe jpg is fine too. i just need to be able to save and load something that's image based and not text-based.
View 2 RepliesI have found many drawing pad solutions. Some good, some not as good. All of them, however, fail to show how to save the file as a pdf (would be happy with bmp right about now) from the drawing pad to a server side folder via php. Can someone show how to do that using as3?
On the advanced side, I also need to figure out how to make it recognize logged in users of the preexisting CMS in order to save out to specific user folders. The CMS is Joomla 1.5 latest build, with JomSocial and JSPT multi profile. It would save out to folders created by the JMarketPro system.
im new to this forum and kinda new to flash and php together...i have this project that would load a swf movie on a drawing board and user could draw something over then swf movie. It should be able to save the drawings to the database, so that the user could just load it for later use. for example if the user draws a zigzag line at frame 5 of swf movie and on frame 10 of the swf movie deletes the zigzag line and draw a circle and then saves it. then loads it later, from frame 1 to 4 of the swf movie the zigzag line should not show but on frame 5 to frame 9 it would show and on frame 10 shows only the circle. or just on the specific frame number of the swf movie it will show. like when user draw on frame 6 then on before or after frame 6 it wont show..the second one might be a bit easier to implement.
how do i save the user drawings over the swf movie? and how do i load it? do i have to save everthing (like x and y coordinates, movieclip names) in a textfile? and use that textfile to recreate the swf file drawn? what ways could i implemnt this? hopefully someone to could point me in the right direction.

View 2 RepliesI 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.
