im trying to work out how to keep lines drawn between different movieclips. It works, but wont clear the lines!!, so i have to leave it out.. to see something .. should I put them all inside an empty movieclip?
[Code]...
I'm trying to make a program that's meant for graphics tablets in AS3. So far I can allow the user to draw a line across the stage so that they know where their moving their pen around. However I want this line to only be temporary, and so the graphics.Clear() method is called to remove it.
I'd like this to look a lot better however, as the line just instantly disappears. Does anyone know how I could add code that makes the line fade out to 0 alpha first before I call the clear command?

Is it possible to create 2-3 drawn lines in actionscript?Wanted to make a dynamic chart, but so far when I add coding for the second line, the first no longer works.
Trying to nest the lines in movie clips didn't work.Is this a restriction of the createEmptyMovieClip?I'm using....
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lineFirst",0);
lineFirst.lineStyle(12,0x000000,100);
lineFirst.moveTo(0,0);
How can I erase lines I've drawn using
_root.lineStyle()
_root.moveTo()
And
_root.lineTo
I'm working on a Flash project in which users are able to draw on the stage. Once they've drawn their lines and turned off the pen tool, though, I want them to be able to do something unusual. I want them to have the ability to drag and drop the lines they've drawn. I actually don't really care whether they pick up individual segments separately or everything together, but they need to be able to drag and drop in some way, shape or form.
The line-drawing code currently looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
onMouseDown = function(){
if (penOn) {
if (erased7 == true) {

When I make line7 draggable (by dynamically appending event handlers to the line after the user creates it), subsequent attempts by the user to draw lines cause the new lines to appear within the confines of the movieclip already created, no matter where the mouse button is pressed. The problem, as I've been able to determine, is essentially this: When you don't make the line draggable, the dimensions of the line movieclip expand every time the user clicks the mouse button. But appending the event handlers in effect freezes the movieclip, and its dimensions aren't changed after that, at least not by this code. I've tried workarounds, but no luck. I've also tried creating a new movieclip each time the user tries to draw another line, but that's failed as well
Im using the code bellow to draw a line:
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
line.lineStyle(2,0xFFFFFF,100);
line.moveTo(0,0);
line.lineTo(100,100);
How can I make the line to tween, from alpha 0 to 100 using AS2? I Tried TweenMax on "line" movieclip but it does not work.
I want to have a menu where you click on a node and lines are drawn to its sub menus, any links to examples or tutorials would be great p.s a mind map is like these: [URL]
View 2 RepliesI was screwing around one day and thought I'd make a little line-drawing-thing. Basically it just attaches movie clips and draws lines between them using the drawing API. That was the easier part. Now I though I'd take it a step further and add some curves. I tried but the attached file is the best I could think of.
square.fla is the original file
lineCurve.fla is the file in which I tried to add curves.
I have been working on a map viewer based blitting technique. As part of the map I need to draw approximately 50000 lines and performance is currently really poor.

My code is on the main timeline.I call a function loop to draw lines between them.The lines are drawing between the right x, y values BUT between those values on the main stage, not those values within the kite.For example, dot1_mc is at x100, y0 inside kite. the line that should go from its center, draws from stage x100, 0.How do I draw the lines inside kite so that they draw between the dots?Heres my code that draws the linesPHP Code:
function loop():void{ lineDrawing.graphics.clear(); var a:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot1_mc.x, kite_mc.dot1_mc.y); var b:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot2_mc.x, kite_mc.dot2_mc.y); var c:Point = new

I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

i've attached my flash file. I don't get why the path is not drawn if the movieclip is set ask mask. I would like to slowly reveal the text.

I have been looking for a preloader such as the one at [URL]. The preloader there is just the effect I've been looking for for a long time. I know it's done with scripting, but I could never make it quite right. I even posted here a few times, and found a tutorial, but it used a drag bar to control it, not bytesLoaded. Any tutorials that you could lead me to that focus on making it a preloader

View 2 RepliesI wrote the following code for drawing a rotate rectangle
var s:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
s.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x0000FF);
s.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 200, 200);
s.rotation = 30;
template.addChild(s);
Where template is a canvas. Its rotate nicely but the problem is the position is not in right place. i.e. it is not in (50,50) after rotate.
I want to use numbers I've drawn myself to represent a number, but don't know how to implement this. How would I display the equivalent of an integer with these numbers? If it's necessary to have them in a tile pattern, which makes sense to me considering how older games worked, then what code would I use to switch between each? Or is there another, better way? Also, I need the number to be able to adjust to the number of digits in the number and read from left to right (so the 1 in 10 would be in the same place as the 1 in 1).

Lets say I have a customMovieClip. I sometimes draw an ellipse with customMovieClip.graphics and sometimes a rectangle. Now I want to know what was the shape ( ellipse/rect) that was created using a particular graphics object. Doing this would enable me to pinpoint what exactly to do with that customMovieClip() instance.
View 3 RepliesIf i draw a movieclip on a frame (root) as such:[code]This will draw a simple square from position 20,20 on root. Now if i trace penName_mc._x i would expect it to give me the distance from the root origin i.e. 20 however it always produces 0. My questions are:
1- Why doesnt it consider x as 20?
2- Is there no way to determine the x of this newly created movieclip from the origin? (besides drawing from 0,0)

I need to create a skewed rectangle and on rollover, have the right edge move outwards.. making the skewed rectangle wider.. while keeping the proportions.[code]...
On mouse move i have a line drawn using lineTo method. This works like in Paint or most drawing programs: the mouse drawing like a pencil. What i need now, and dont know how to accomplish, is to add a number of mclips over that line. And this mclips should be over the line but separated to each other (different x and y of the drawn line). So in the end when moving the mouse the user should get a line and, every certain distance, a number of mclips over it.
