Is there a way to draw a line with graphics.lineTo() that is thinner than 1point? According to the documentation the thinnest lineStyle possible should be 0 but I cannot see any difference between a 0 stroke and a 1 stroke?
View 4 Repliesi'm trying to build a circle using lines. each line starts in the centre of the circle and is as long as the circle's radius. using a loop along with sine and cosign waves, i can build the circle using the sine and cosign to mark the coordinates of the lineTo parameter.
my problem is with the line thickness parameter of lineStyle. i would like the ends of the lines to match up perfectly, no matter how big the circumference of the circle, but i can't figure out a proper method for the line thickness.
//this is what makes sense to me, but it still creates some gaps
lineThickness = 1 + (((nRadius * 2) * Math.PI) - 360) / 359;
for(var i:int = 0; i < 360; i++)
[code]....
to make the ends of the lines meet up at the circles circumference, without any gaps, i need to widen the lines to fill in the space that's remaining. what makes sense to me, but doesn't work, is to subtract the 360 from the circumference, then divide that number by the amount of empty slots between the lines (which is 359) and adding that number the the thickness of 1.
what's concerning me is that the lineStyle thickness parameter is a Number, but seems to take only values between 0 and 255, so i'm not sure if a floating point number like 1.354 is a valid thickness.
The sprite which contains all element in my game world uses the real-world meter as distance unit, it doesn't know what pixels are. I then apply a scale to this sprite to make it appear correct on screen. Currently I use 1 meter = 100 pixels, so scale = 100.
If I try to draw a line inside this sprite it appears lineStyle(thinkness) rounds the thickness parameter. If I specify 0.5 (50 cm) it always gets drawn with 1 pixel (1 cm). If I specify 0.6, the line becomes 100 pixels, or 1 meter, thick. So basically I can only draw lines of 1, 100, 200 etc pixels thinkness.
Anything I can do about this? Otherwise I'll have to use a smaller unit like millimeters for my world.
So, I have a movie clip which consists of a filled vector circle with a stroke. Is it possible to increase/decrease the stroke to a specific thickness in pixels with actionscript whilst the swf is playing?

I draw a line using "graphics.lineTo" into a movieclip and I need to change my linestyle if the user ask for that throw a button in runtime. I can change the color, but I can't change the linestyle...Is there someway to change it?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to align the stroke of a graphic with actionscript? for example, the following code creates a black rounded rect with a grey stroke that is automatically centre aligned.
var t:Sprite = new Sprite();
t.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0x555555);
t.graphics.beginFill(0, 1);
t.graphics.drawRoundRect(25, 25, 200, 75, 25, 25);
t.graphics.endFill();
the lineStyle function doesn't seem to offer any built-in functionality for aligning the stroke. in Adobe Illustrator, you can align a stroke to be either centre (half in/half out of the fill), inside (bordering within the fill) or outside. (bordering outside the fill).
I was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

How can I change its lineStyle when rollOver, making it draker for example?
trying to make a slider that changes the line thickness in a drawing app that I would to share with my students. When moved from left to right a circle changes scale. This circle would act as a visual reference on the stage telling the viewer that the line thickness is changing. Right now I just want to figure out how to connect the slider so that the circle changes dynamically. Once I get that I feel I can figure out how to connect it to lineStyle(). The current code I am attaching has the circle change size at onle two points-the far left and far right. I keep trying to write something that uses mouseX properties but so far nothing is working.
View 5 RepliesIts an mx:Text object. (The Text object is actually being used as a mask so don't know if that's the problem.) If underline is set with the <u> tag in Text.htmlText, or Text.textField.setTextFormat, the underline thickness is always just one pixel which is not acceptable. (There are other problems with <u> so I'm limited to using setTextFormat currently.)
Can the thickness of an underline be set through CSS? (textField.styleSheet, etc.)
I may have another problem as I already use setTextFormat extensively, and the documentation says you can't use textField.setTextFormat if you use textField.setStyleSheet.
I primarily need the underline to simulate correctly the look for an anchor tag.
im drawing a line from 0,0 to 100,100 im using this to modify the linestyle:
draw_line.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);
That line is now of 1 thickness.Is there anyway i can change the thickness of the line to say 10, but without redrawing the line?
I'm attempting to make a very simple drawing programme. There will be maybe 4/5 buttons. Three of them when you click on the change the color of the line the user draws. the other two will change the line thickness. I've tried setting up a variable to set to how thick the line should be depending on the button the user has pressed.But it has no effect - i'm guessing that's because the variable only exists within the confines of the function that I have it in.[code]

View 2 Replies(Im using CS4 and actionscript 2)
I have some movieclips with a graph (not generated, manually drawn). I want to change the thickness of the line inside the movie clip. How do I do that?
When I move the mouse over the line the graph must highligt (become thicker). I can do this with the line as a button, mouse-over graphics. But I also need to highligt the graph when the mouse is over some text (to link the graph with the text). If I have 2 - or several - buttons can I have them all show the mouse-over image at the same time, if the mouse is over just one of them?
Another ideer: I have made an actionscript the fades (using alpha 0 and 100) for 2 similar movieclips each with different thickness positioned over each other. But the initial value for both lines is a problem, only the thin line must be shown, the thick line must be alpha=0. If I set it at the start of the actionscript then it resets every time the flash starts over. Is there some way to set the inital value (alpha=0) just once? When the flash playes first time?
Whenever i try to draw anthing (oval, box, pencil, brush) it just comes out as a thin green line. Ive tried the obvious by changing the thickness, style and colour for each of the tools but nothing seems to work.
View 3 RepliesI made a small box that is filled with navy blue and has a red line around it, but when I increase the thickness to say 50, it reduces the size of my navy blue box.

public function Box() :void {

Right now I create a paint program, which will consist of _xmouse, _ymouse, different colors to draw lines, different sizes. But I have a problem:
_root.line.lineStyle(size,0x00ff99,100);
The size is the thickness of the pen. But it don't seems to work inside of that script.
I am working on a interactivity wherien i draw lines using a pen/pencil just as in MsPaint application in Microsoft. Ia m done with the pencil/ pen tool and its working fine but I basically want to change the thickness of the line at runtime by using a slider functionality.
Code:
drawing_mc.lineStyle(1, 0x99CC00, 100);
I have a drawing api with the simple code of a flash:
Code:
stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("dibujo", 1);
dibujo.lineStyle(4, 0x000FFF, 100);
attachMovie("lapiz", "lapiz", 11);

But I need a more complex lineStyle, I mean, a brush that look like a paint brush, like water color.
