I keep trying to change the code so that I can control the area for drawing. The attached code is where I left of after many tries. The movie clip box_mc is being called from the library.
View 3 RepliesI cannot get the lines to draw onto the top of the MovieClip box_mc.At this pojnt, my solution is to change the alpha of box_mc to 0. Now I can see my drawings which are under the box_mc but keep within the boundries of the MovieClip.Maybe my thinking is too concrete, but I was trying to get the drawing lines to stay on top of the MovieClip box_mc like it was a small drawing board.I have tried place a reference to the stage in various places and use addChildAt() in order to see f I can change the MovieClip's place in the hierarchy but so far nothing has worked.

I am trying to get a box_mc to fade out if the mouse is in a set area of the screen, but if the mouse is in a different segment to reappear. I have set up a timer to detect mouse position and got the functions working but I dont know how to pause the timer in order for the fade to take effect.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var timer1:Timer = new Timer(10)

I tried to erase whatever was drawn on the stage by using a similar function in a recent previous post but I'm not getting it.when I try to use it an error says that this is no longer supported. I tried addChildAt() and inserted different Num but it only erased everything including my button.the current code is:
var drawing:Boolean = false;
this.graphics.lineStyle(5,0x000000);this.graphics.moveTo(mouseX,mouseY);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop, false, 0, true);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown, false,0,true);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onUp, false,0,true);

I'm currently trying to debug a problem in Flex 4, in where a component is firing a custom event with its local coordinates translated to global coordinates (i.e. localToGlobal) and another component (in a separate "branch" of the display list hierarchy) recieves such event and uses it as a part of an animation, via globalToLocal. It should be a simple, coordinate-transformation system but it is not working.I'm trying to debug this, by using AS3's drawing API to draw circles where the Points should be.Here is the dispatching component (Component A in the image below):
// Check where is the local x,y
this.graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF);
this.graphics.drawCircle(this.x,this.y, 10);[code].......
One would expect the three circles (Red, Green and Blue) to correspond, each being drawn just before the event dispatch and one (green) on event listening. What actually happens is:
Blue circle is drawn where you would expect it.
Red circle is never drawn (hence, my question on drawing on the stage in Flex 4)
Green circle is drawn in an un-expected place.
EDIT: Here is an image that explains the relationship between components and where are the dots being drawn:
I started working with AS3 a month ago, I know the basics and stuff, but I can't do that much. The user would draw lines by clicking on the stage. The code works exactly as I wanted it to, but it is on AS2 . I tried, but I can't 'convert' it to AS3. I would like to know how this code would work on AS3! Here's the download link of the .fla, so you can see better what I mean: [URL].
View 3 RepliesI'm drawing with Flash's brush tool and the marks I make are appearing not just where I draw them, but also in the timeline or elsewhere on the stage. It goes away if I minimize and restore, but this is a big time-waster.
View 1 RepliesI have a little problem with counting all elements on stage. Flash, unfortunately is counting all objects on the stage without drawn objects (all shapes, including drawing objects, rectangles etc) all missed. Is there any way to count them?
View 2 Repliesflash and at the risk of sounding like an idiot, here goes.My question is:How can I make it so that the stage is divided up into a grid of 4 by 4px spaces that can be filled with a color after a click?So far I have some code that lets you draw a 4 by 4px dot but the dots can overlap because there is no grid:
dot.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, do_stuff);
/*dot is a movie clip of a 4x4 black dot*/
function do_stuff(event:Event):void

I would like the "box_mc" movieClip to remain on the stage and a duplicate created when clicked on and dragged to a new location on the stage.
Actionscript Code:
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, duplicateBox);var startX:Number;var startY:Number;function duplicateBox(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.parent.addChild(event.target); startX = event.target.x; startY = event.target.y; event.target.startDrag(true);}
I got this code from [URL]; it writes an image to stage as a way of tile it.
holidaytile is an instance of a Gif Image.
But I want to change the Alpha so that my top layer shows through it, and I can't seem to figure out how to do that.
import flash.display.BitmapData;var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("holidaytile");this.beginBitmapFill(tile);

I need to use a Timer for time controlled animation, time the drawing to occur every 500 milliseconds & Draw 20 circles in total. I also need to make sure the circles are completely drawn inside the limits of the stage...
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

// creates a new hundred-second Timer, ticks every 250 milliseconds
var faster_minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(250, 6);
// designates listeners for the interval and completion events

View 2 RepliesI have a little snippet of code that allows the user to create a line with the mouse, and clears the line if they end up touching the hitbox with the mouse, while they're drawing the line. It works fine when it's just thrown onto the main timeline. However, when I try to encapsulate it within a movie clip, it suddenly doesn't work. At all. Are there any suggestions as to why this is happening? Here's the code.

View 1 RepliesI am brand new to all Adobe applications but have the CS5 Master Suite and have been taking many courses through Lynda.com for months. I wish to learn how to make a small video of an object being sketched. That is use a drawing tablet and stylus (whatever they are called...I have NO idea) and trace over a photo. When finished I wish to have the video of the slowly created tracing of the object sped up and when complete fade away and the actual photograph of the object traced overlap fade into view. In other words use this as a transition technique for presenting a photograph of an object rather then just have it "pop" onto the screen. My questions are: (1) What special drawing pad and stylus are required (if any....can I do it with just the mouse?) (2) Is Flash Professional the program one would use to make such a video? If not which Adobe program is best suited to this task, and (3) Is there a NAME to this "technique" in whatever program was given in answer to question two so I know where to begin and/or look for a tutorial on how to accomplish this technique?
View 2 RepliesSomeone told me once that every function in Flash has some associated actionscript being executed behind the scenes, e.g. converting a graphic to a symbol or drawing a pentagon on the stage. This person also told me that there is somewhere in which you can view said ActionScript as it's being executed. How can I do this? I deem such a feature necessary to do the projects I have been given, especially having very little experience with AS.

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.
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
