I normally use flash, so this normally wouldn't be an issue, but now I'm using Flex (I'm not a different computer). I wrote a very simple program to draw a rectangle. Here is it:

I'm a bit new to the ActionScript world, and I'm trying to get a custom class drawing a button correctly.I have a .png of a planet that I want to use for the image, this is how I load it:
imageRequest = new URLRequest(bmpName);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);

Normally when we draw a rectangle with linewidth 1 no problem.But if we apply a linewidth more than 10, the corners of rectangle seems rounded shape.[code]

View 3 RepliesUsing Flash CS3 If I draw two overlapping rectangles with two different fill colors, I get the expected results.If I draw two overlapping rectangles with the same fill color, the overlapping region appears white, almost as if there were an exclusion blend applied.
View 9 RepliesIs there a neat minimal way of doing this? (this produces an error):
var freeSpace = shape.freeSpace() // returns Rectangle
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s.graphics.drawRect(freeSpace);
Just looking for a more cleaner way other than something like .drawRect(freeSpace.x, freeSpace.y, freeSpace.w, freeSpace.h) I know you can do it with bitmapData.fillRect(rectangle), but need sprites in this case.
I'm trying to draw a shape but am having a weird issue. I'm not getting any errors, but no shape will show up. I get a blank white canvas when I run the .swf with the following class:

i've tried to simulate a pencil tool, for drawing above a imagem, but the drawing is below the picture. How fix it?

Basically I've got a reasonably complex drawing object in a fla and I want to reproduce it in a class definition using the drawing api. However obviously this is a tedious task, so is there some trick or automated method of doing this?
Last time I needed to do this it was a drawing of an arrow and I ended up writing down x,y,width,height values for everything but this one has curves in it which I don't have experience with drawing anyway.
I cannot get this to work. Without the "var drawing", "var drawing being true or false" and the "if statement", it works fine. But I need to add the "var drawing" so that you can only draw if you turn it on by pressing the "draw_btn" button. Note, I do not get an error, the script "apparently" contains no errors. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var drawing = false
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);

I've created a drawing tool which allows the user to draw on the canvas, the problem is that if I try to draw over a movieclip nothing happens. Is there a way I can allow for the user to draw over movieclips? For example if I had a background of paper?
Here's the code I'm using for it:
// This code is for drawing the lines on the page
//1.
var drawingLine:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChildAt(drawingLine,0);

I need to draw on stage about 40,000 4x4 squares each a different color. The color is determined by an xml file. I have this working in as2 and have converted it to as3 the problem is the amount of time it takes to draw is causing cs4 to time out. I have extended the script time out to 60 seconds. In cs3 as2 it would draw the squares in about 15 seconds. I was hoping as3 cs4 would improve performance but seems to be the opposite. I have tried several methods such as adding children and various drawing variations. the bellow seems to work the best, but is still causing flash to crash.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.display.Shape;

So i've created an interface for a lobby display. It's running on a 52" LCD (1280x768). I have the computer hard wired to the display (HP Laptop with standalone flash player) and have the same resolution settings set on it. Now, I built the interface on my Mac desktop and have the stage set to 1280x768.
The kicker: When i run it on the display, there's a lot of extra vertical space at the bottom. When i change the resolution to 1280x1024, it fills the screen vertically properly, but then shortens it horizontally.
This was created with frames in dreamweaver and the nav bar and index page movie are swf files. When you click on the pages in the nav bar it redirects to the index page. It does this the majority of the time and every now and again when you click it will go to the actual page.The way it is set up in dreamweaver, it has the nav movie in the top frame and the content in the bottom. All I did was change the old i.p address to the domain name because our host changed. I did nothing else and then this started not working correctly.I have checked and double checked all links in flash and they work from the swf but when it is loaded in the browser it does that weird linking to the index again. This is the code in flash to link to the pages:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.fostersfreeze.com/Food.html","_top");
}

View 6 RepliesThe movie will not play the same after I embed it in a pdf. pretty sure all the right selections were made when exporting.
I have a stop in the first frame of the movie and a button to start the movie. But when the movie is opened in the pdf it has skipped that frame and it starts to play automatically.
I created a flash file (I will refer to this a swf.1) that plays correct when published as swf.However when I place it into another flash file the nested animation inside the swf.1 does not run.The nested animation in swf1. that does not run has a mask. Would this have anything to do with it?

ok, i have been working on this for a week or so, and yes it has been a week. I don't have the internet where i am from so I resorted to ebooks that I had downloaded. The problem is, is that I have made a very simple math program. You decide which operand you want to use and a randomly generated questions pops up. You answer the question and you are told whether you are right or wrong. This continues 5 times where you are graded based on percentage correct. I am not worried about taht part yet, I want to get my if else statement working correctly first.
The first frame is the frame where you choose your operand. The second frame is where you solve the problem, and the last frame is where you are told whether you are correct and what your percent so far is.I have an ebook teaching me but I have had some success in prior programming. When my program didn't work, I debugged and eventually ripped the program straight from the book. It still isnt working correctly.

I can not generate a working .swf file from my old files. It is either that I have not saved the correct file from 2005 or my cs3 is not compiling it
correctly.
I'm trying to build a slideshow, I don't have issue with parsing. But the main problem is I can't make it load correctly to next photo. I go that error message:

The script pulls in data relating to the video file (title, artist etc). but I think I may have written it wrong, but I can't see it.
The error is that it's pulling in the final line in the xml list and when I click the buttons it states that it is not defined.[code]...
Just want to be sure I am broadcasting my p2p stream correctly. I cannot play the stream so I want to make sure I am broadcasting correctly first then I will move on to worrying about playing it.
I created a netconnection. nc.connect("rtmfp://blah/multicast"); onNetStatus I check for connection success. On connection success get my webcam and audio and attach it to my stage for local viewing.
When I click Publish it makes a netgroup with the nc. On netgroup success I create a netstream with the nc.I attach the camera and audio to the netstream. On netstream success I publish. I get publish success.
Does that mean I am publishing correctly? I have no way of conveniently viewing the stream. When I try to make a new netconnection, netstream, and try play it doesn't work. I don't know if it is because it refuses to play my own stream or if I am not publishing correctly. It does say I am publishing.
I have used a scrollpane on my new site, it scrolls but only if you click the arrows or click in the scroll bar, if you actuall try and scroll by dragging (which people would because it's long) it vanishes![URL]
