I'm trying to draw a rectangle with my mouse using actionscript. I found a script online for elispes. I used that and it worked just fine. But when I change it to a rectangle, it doesn't work.
Code:
var color:Number;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);

I need to to incorporate a functionality where the user can use his mouse to draw a rectangle by dragging his mouse over the canvas - much like the Rectangle Drawing Tool in the Flash Authoring environment. The requirement is something like a rubberband tool where the user can define a portion of a map by drawing a rectangle over it. The coordinates needs to be captured.

View 1 RepliesI would like to have an invisible drop target so I can dropand item and have it go to another part of the training. However,if I create a rectangle as a sprite and don't fill it in, itdoesn't recognize it as an area apparently because nothing happenswithout a fill color. I tried just a regular rectangle, shape, etc.

I'm trying to create a rectangular mask - located at x:0, y:173 (1 pixel high ) - that will be stretched (_yscale) to the bottom of the image using the Flash Tween Class. Trouble is, the entire rectangle moves as if if were using "_y" instead of "_yscale". Tweening "_height" doesn't work any better. Can someone spot the problem with this file? If you comment out this line
var mask_tween:Object = new Tween(maskClip, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);
then you will see the correct placement of the mask rectangle. It just doesn't tween/scale properly.
public function onMouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent) {
//trace("mouse down clicked!");

I am drawing a rectangle with the above code in as3 inside a area. Problem is that, when i try to acees the drawn rectangle x and y position it is showing 0,0. if i drag the drawn rectangle and try to access the x and y position then also it is calculating from the 0,0 position. first time when i draw the rectangle it is drawing well by dragging the mouse but why the x and y axis is 0,0; if i try to set the x and y position manually then when i try to draw by dragging , it is not drawing relative with the mouse.
I have two options and I want to know whats faster. I have a pool of 1000 sprites objects in as3 on screen. When its needed each sprite has to resize itself. I can
1- Make each sprite a simple container to use graphics to draw a rectangle, that is, call a 'spriteInstance.graphics.' ,draw the rectangle and on each 'refresh', I do graphics.clear and redraw the rectangle but with the new size, this for each sprite.
or
2- Create each sprite with a border and on each refresh, resize it
Whats better?
I have a button that when clicked is supposed to draw a rectangle behind my mask layer but when I try to run it I get this error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:BitmapData.
Here is the related ActionScript Code:
fabric_mc.phoenixFab.addEvenetListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeFabric);
function changeFabric(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(phoenixFabric);
this.graphics.drawRect(181, 46, 319, 319);
this.graphics.endFill
}
I've seen a few tutorials on this site that discuss the Drawing API, What I'm wanting to do is draw a rounded rectangle at runtime to a particular size.I initially tried resizing an already-created rectangle, but as the movie clip resized, the radius on the corners got distorted.

View 1 RepliesI am drawing a rectangle at 0,0 with a line-style-thickness of 4px. It has height 100% and width 50%. The right-hand edge has a border 4px wide, but all 3 other sides are only 2px, suggesting the mid-point of the edge is classed as the border. Why isn't the edge drawn 'inside' the rectangle?
View 1 RepliesIf I draw a rectangle or trapezium, how might I go about drawing bitmap data into that shape? I need to give a slight perspective to a loaded photo. Native 3D rotations seem to leave the bitmap really blurry, and a full 3D engine is too heavy for this project.

I'm making a drawing application, everythings looks and works ok, except for one thing...My mouse cursor is hidden and a paintbrush like cursor follows it. This cursor is a movieclip, because the user chooses a color, and the tip of this paintbrush changes to the selected color.But there's one problem... when I draw to the left the line is drawed with no problem, but when I draw to the right, the line is interrupted, and I don't understand why.I made one experiment, and with no movieclip "attached" to the mouse cursor, the line is drawed with no problem, both to the right and left.

I am noticing that if you let the mouse wonder away from the movie clip while dragging, it doesn't drop when you let go of the button. You have to click in the defined rectangle for the drag for the movie clip to drop appropriately.
How can I define my mouse movement to the same rectangle as the drag while the movie is clicked on and being dragged?
2. When the image loads, click the "Crop Image" button on the left side3. Start dragging the corner handles around (the mid handles are not coded for yet)4. If you move the handles fast enough and let go, the rectangle does not stay with the handlesI think the problem has something to do with the rectangle I create and use. Notice that once you get the handles away from the rectangles,Here is the code:
Code:
private function grabberdrag(evt:MouseEvent):void {_grabarray[_i].x = _grabbers.mouseX;//move the current handle to mouseX

View 1 RepliesI have picture on my stage and what I want to do is when I mouse over have another rectangle ease up from zero to the size of pic and then when I mouse out have the rectangle ease down to zero. What seems to be happening is that when I mouse over the picture the rectangle eases up but as soon as the rectangle makes contact with the cursor it eases back down. I can't figure out why this is happening.
