ActionScript 3.0 :: DrawRoundRect - Corners Of A Rectangle Are Not Very Consistent When The Curve/ellipse Values Are Very Low?
Jun 1, 2009
The corners of a rectangle drawn with drawRoundRect are not very consistent when the curve/ellipse values are very low (2-5px or so), most visibly when there's a border added.Even with hinting turned on, there's still a pretty ugly difference. When set to 3px (horizontal and vertical), the right-side corners look pretty close at around 3px, but the left-side corners are very off, and both look to be maybe 1px curved.

I'm trying to create a custom button with ActionScript 3.0. I'm suing a round rect as background, but I have a problem with it size. This is my custom button class:

I don't know why when I use a size of (40, 20) I get a smaller rectangle than that size.

I'm trying to get plain straight corners on a rectangel. I have been drawing a rectangle or even before drawing one, selecting the little tool in the lower left and I put in a value of 0, but as soon as I draw anything it rounds up again. How do I get rid of this problem??

i'm in the middle of attempting to write my own collision detection algorithm because the built in 'hitTestObject' function seems to be incredibly inaccurate (it's registering 'hits' when the objects are still a considerable distance from each other).I need to be able to calculate the position of each of the 4 corners of a rectangle, based on its rotation. Obviously one of the corners will simply be the rectangle's x and y coordinates. I have made a little test program to make sure I am calculating the positions of the corners accurately - it works when the rectangle is rotated to 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees, but produces strange results for any other angles.[code]

is it possible to draw a rectangle specifying which corners should be rounded and which not in a simple manner?

My idea was to create a method for drawing rectangle with rounded corners, but while being able to specify which of the four corners (any, all, none,etc.) you wanted to round. The method below does the trick, but for some reason my corners don't match the same curves that I get using the same radius with drawRoundRect(). In other words, if I call my method (and set all four corners to be rounded) and compare that with the same call to drawRoundRect() the actual curves of the corners are slightly different.
HTML Code:
public function drawComplexRoundedRect(startX:int,startY:int,rectWidth:int,rectHeight:int,radius:int,canvas:Sprite,roundTopLeft:Boolean=false,roundTopRight:Boolean=false,roundBottomLeft:Boolean=false,roundBottomRight:Boolean=false):void{
if(roundTopLeft){
canvas.graphics.moveTo(startX,(startY+radius));
[Code] .....
Then compare
HTML Code:
var canvas:Sprite = new Sprite;
drawComplexRoundedRect(0,0,200,200,25,canvas,true,true,true,true);
with
HTML Code:
var canvas:Sprite = new Sprite;
canvas.drawRoundRect(0,0,200,200,25);
and you will see the two rectangles are not identical.

With the select tool, I placed my mouse over the edge & it changed to the little curve sign, but when I dragged it, it just moved the rectangle. Same thing when using the transform tool.

I was hoping someone could help me working out some advanced data reformatting. What I'm hoping for is a function where I can input a value along with an array of key positions like so:
function remap(percentage:Number, keypoints:Array) { ...
The array would start with the minimum and end with the maximum point, with nested key points along the way. For example, I would input something like remap(0.25, [0:0,80:50,100:100] ) and the function would 'imagine' a spline curve graph from (0,0)-(100,100) with a key point of (80,50), then return the y value that is 25% along that graph.

I have a curveTo an anchor point and a control point.Then I have a function that will return the x and y of a point along that curve if I give it a number as a percentage of the curve (0 to 1).It looks like this, and works perfectly..
Code:
function drawOnCurve( interval:Number, x0,y0,x1,y1,x2,y2)
{
interval = Math.max( Math.min( 1, interval ), 0 );[code]....
x0,y0 are the start point, x1,y1 the control point and x2,y2 the final anchor point.But... I want to give it a _y value instead of a percentage (interval) and it return where on the curve that would intersect.

I'm having a little difficulty getting to grips with the getBounds() Movie Clip function. I assumed the getbounds() method simply got the boundary coordinates for the movie Clip, that one could use to draw a rectangle. This is what I'm trying to do;I'm trying to get a movie clips coordinate bounds, and use the min and max values of x and y to draw rectangle around the object. Simple right? But in my case, I'm getting some unexpected results. I wonder does ther registration point of the object determine the coordinate values? Also are the coordinate values local to the clip instance or global to the stage?

In drawing a rounded rectangle using the drawRoundRect method is there anyway to smooth out the corner. In my example the corners look like crap.
Code:
var rect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var color:Number = Number("0x"+listColor);
rect.graphics.beginFill(color);
rect.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
rect.graphics.drawRoundRect(0,0,w,h,5);
rect.graphics.endFill();

I'd like to write a draw graphic that is a tweak of drawRoundRect. I can work with curveTo, the problem is I end up drawing all sorts of wierd shapes since I don't understand well the metrics. If I could look at the code for drawRoundRect, I could easily tweak it to my needs.

I'm trying to draw a shape with quite precise rounded corners, I'd settle for anything around 3px. Unfortunately Flash has other ideas, and is creating a rounded rectangle with four seemingly different radii. My code is below:
var sq:Shape = new Shape();
sq.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,1);
sq.graphics.drawRoundRect(20,20,20,20,4,4);[code]....
The corners are noticeably different. If I were using a bigger radius it might not be so much of a problem, but because of the small radius of the corners the square just looks odd. Have I missed the drawRoundRectEvenly functio

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

I am creating a minesweeper copy, and i've bumbed into a problem, which I and a fellow programmer finds quite strange.
My code is set up like this: Initializer.as (Just a temp. initializer.(duh)). This creates a new gameGrid, and passes x and y number of blocks, as well as the size.
GameGrid.as (movieclip) This is the board. This controls the whole game, which are filled with:
Block.as (movieclip) Represents a block. Has a size parameter in its contructor, which are the exact same size as the one in GamGrids contructor. For non-mines, a textfield is added as a child. When a flag is set, the block adds a child:
Flag.as (movieclip) Same size in its contstructor.
In the library (in Flash CS5), every movieclip has the same width (60px).
Now, the problem is that the text, bombs and flags are only in the same size as the blocks when i set the size to '57'. If it's lower than 57, the bombs etc. are even lower. At ~30, they're half the size. At 130, its almost the double.
Here's the classes (with some comments):
Initializer
Code:
package {
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
public class Initializer {
private var stg:DisplayObjectContainer;

This may be a weird question to ask. Below I have a simple php/mysql query which pulls some simple data.I've figured out how to display it all in Flash. f someone updates the database, adding a few new rows in the table, can Flash refresh on it's own so the new records show in the flash movie?

Or does flash have more than one way to reload all the data again?

I'm building a class that reads data from an xml file. The constructor takes the xml path and opens the file. It adds an event listener for the loading completion. But if constructor looks like
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("..."));
it will (probably) end-up when xml is not loaded yet. Are there any ways to stop the constructor execution until the xmlLoaded function has finished?

Im having trouble getting my flash movie to playback at a consistent/good rate in Internet Explorer. Its not terrible out of IE but it looks much better out of Firefox and Safari. Im publishing my swf at Auto Low out of Flash and setting the swf to Auto Low on my html page out of Dreamweaver, my .flv is about 8 Megs, runs 1:25 with a kbps of 700 and the audio is set to 128. Is there something glaringly wrong with my settings, something I can trim in order to get it to playback correctly in IE? Someone suggested upping my buffer time but I can't seem to locate the panel in Flash CS4, anyone know where this tab lives?

I am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.

I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

How to get my audio scrubber to work, make the volume consistent whether you stop the song and restart or move to the previous of next song. Also, I just finally figured out how to add columns to my XML playlist by using a Datagrid but I do not know how to hook the playlist up to the XML in order to call the particular song that is clicked on.
I started this project working as a tutorial, but the tutorial only gave the basic XML audio jukebox set up, since then, I've been scouring forums, google, tutorials on youtube, etc. But I find that the code is so "method" specific, meaning that everything hinges on your particular way you decide to get to the end result.
1)Volume slider works, but the volume keeps reverting back to the default volume everytime the song is stopped and re-started or a new song is advanced to with the Previous or Next button - The volume needs to stay consistent at whatever volume level that the slider is left on.
2)PlayList needs to be functional. Right now, you can advance through the play list by using the jukebox previous and next buttons, but the playlist should have the ability to highlight whatever song is playing from the list as well as play songs independently when any song in the list is clicked. (I was able to do this successfully with the tutorial version which used a list component, but the only problem with that is that List components only allow 1 column - so I had to change to a datagrid to allot for my 3 columns)
3)Scrubber - I would like the scrubber to do what a scrubber does for each song when the song is being played.

How can I get a consistent value from the top margin/padding of a TextField to the top of the actual text.According to the docs (link below), the text field has a 2px gutter on all sides. But there seems to be another gutter that seems to increase / decrease with the size of the text.Using times new roman for a default font size, I can get the baseline of some random text using what we know: I know that there is a 2px gutter all the way around the text field and we can get the ascent through textfield.getLineMetrics(0).ascent. If I draw a line at that position I'll get a line about 2 px below the actual text. Works fine.Now if I want to draw another line at the TOP of the text it's a guessing game. At 36pt text it's 8px from the top of the textfield. At 72pt text it's more like 12px from the top, and at 144pt text it's more like 20px from the top.URL...
