ActionScript 3.0 :: Polygon Drawing App?
Aug 10, 2011
I want to create an app for drawing polygons with a variable number of vertices, with the following requirements (very similar to a vector drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator):
-each click of the mouse on the stage sets a vertice (e.g. draws a small square or circle to mark the spot), which draws a line to (e.g. LineTo) the prior vertice, and so on, until the final click, if close enough to the first vertice, will complete and close the polygon
-each of the vertices of the completed polygon should be draggable with the mouse, so that that completed (or partially completed) polygon maintains its integrity while changing shape, that is, so the user can modify the polygon shape without having to redraw it. it's the second step I'm having the most difficulty with...in general terms, how would I implement this? Perhaps each vertice should be a draggable Sprite containing a small square or circle graphic?

I'm trying to create a function that draws a polygon with two parameters that are: number of sides and length of sides. You would input a number for side length and a number for the number of sides. Then it would draw the side length, then turn at a angle based on the number of sides, then draw side length again... until it has finished drawing the polygon based on the number of sides that were put in.

I'm trying to find a way to calculate the area of a polygon using lat long coordinates in a Flex 3 site. Hong007 on Google Maps for Flash group was cool enough to post the following function:

I was also playing around with the area calculator at [URL]. These functions produce slightly different results. I'm trying to figure out which one is more accurate. It seems that hong007's function produces results that are on average slightly larger than freemaptools' function. However, I don't know which one is more accurate.

I know that I can collect the pixels of a rectangular area within a Bitmap using getPixels(), but is there a way to collect the pixels of a polygonal area with more than 4 points? Or at least determine whether a particular pixel lies within a polygonal area of a Bitmap?

I'm building a map editor for a project and need to draw a hexagon and fill it with a solid color. I have the shape correct but for the life of me can't figure out how to fill it. I suspect it may be due to whether the thing is a Shape, Sprite or UIComponent. Here is what I have for the polygon itself:
import com.Polygon;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class greenFillOne extends UIComponent {

I'm using a game physics library (Box2D) which only supports convex polygon shapes. However, I'd like the level builder to be able to just specify concave polygons without having to worry about that. So, how can I automatically break apart a concave polygon into convex ones (or even all triangles). Speed would be cool, but ease of implementation is more important. The breaking apart will only be done on game initialization.

I am creating a project in Flash using the Google Maps API and docs. I'm trying to add a marker to the map, which is draggable but I don't want it to look like the standard Google Maps bubble-style marker. Is it possible to have a custom polygon or image but still keep the draggability?

I'm making an app in Flash, and I want to define some polygons which I can bind hover events to to add annotations to an image.I can create these normally in Flash, but I want to load some external data, a list of coordinates, and create the polygons with ActionScript.
Obviously they're just hotspots, so I want them to be invisible, but searching for my problem only shows results for drawing polygons from coordinates using the graphics property of a movieclip.The data doesn't ever change, so it would be possible to just draw all the polygons manually with the pen tool, but the data is being used elsewhere, so it would be much easier to maintain if I could add new zones just by updating the text file.

I'm working on a method to do more accurate path finding for a special project. I haven't yet found any sources on this so i have to write it myself.
The idea was to use a polygon mesh, draw waypoints between all points then discard ways intersecting with a polygon. After that use dijkstra's algorithm to find the closest path.
Detecting whether a line intersects with a polygon mesh is the tricky part. I haven't yet come up with any viable solution that is fast. how i can determine whether a waypoint travels through a polygon?

I am creating a game where I have some red balls on the screen and some blue balls on the screen and I would like to draw a polygon around all balls of the same color and have this polygon automatically fill as soon as the polygon shape is closed. How to achieve this as I haven't really done much with the drawing API before. My current code will allow me to draw a polygon and for it to fill when I release the mouse but what I would like it to do is automatically fill as soon as the shape is closed.
Here is my code so far
Code:
var graphix = new MovieClip();
addChild(graphix);
var points:Array = [];
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);

When I double click to close the selection, the marquee vanishes instead of closing the selection. Yes, I double click on the starting point.Here's what the manual proclaims (step 4):
Draw a straight-edged selection area1 Select the Lasso tools Polygon Mode modifier in the options area of the Tools panel.2 Click to set the starting point.3 Position the pointer where you want the first line to end, and click. Continue setting end points for additional line segments.4 To close the selection area, double-click.

I have been looking at posts about determining if a point lies within a polygon or not and the answers are either too vague, abstract, or complex for me. So I am going to try to ask my question specific to what I need to do.I have a set of points that describe a non-straight line (sometimes a closed polygon). I have a rectangular "view" region. I need to determine as efficiently as possible whether any of the line segments (or polygon borders) pass through the view region.
I can't simply test each point to see if it lies within the view region. It is possible for a segment to pass through the region without any point actually inside the region (ie the line is drawn across the region).Here is an example of what I want to determine (red means the function should return true for the set of points, blue means it should return false, example uses straight lines and rectangles because I am not an artist).
Another condition I want to be able to account for (though the method/function may be a separate one), is to determine not just whether a polygon's border passes through the rectangular region, but whether the region is entirely encompassed by the polygon. The nuance here is that in the situation first described above, if I am only concerned with drawing borders, the method should return false. But in the situation described here, if I need to fill the polygon region then I need the function to return true. I currently do not need to worry about testing "donut" shaped polygons
Here is an example illustrating the nuance (the red rectangle does not have a single vertex or border segment passing through the on-screen region, but it should still be considered on-screen):For the "does any line segment or polygon border pass through or lie on screen?" problem I know I can come up with a solution (albeit perhaps not an efficient one). Even though it is more verbose, the conditions are clear to me. But the second "is polygon region on screen?"PS I have a function for determining line intersection, but it seems like overkill to use it to compare each segment to each side of the on-screen region because the on-screen region is ALWAYS a plain [0, 0, width, height] rectangle.

I'm working on a pathfinding algorithim using A* and using irregular polygon shapes as obstacles rather than a grid. I don't fancy plugging in all the points and links by hand and was wondering if there was some way I could just get them from a Sprite or MovieClip?

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.

I cannot get this to work. Without the "var drawing", "var drawing being true or false" and the "if statement", it works fine. But I need to add the "var drawing" so that you can only draw if you turn it on by pressing the "draw_btn" button. Note, I do not get an error, the script "apparently" contains no errors. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var drawing = false
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);

Here's the code I'm using for it:
// This code is for drawing the lines on the page
//1.
var drawingLine:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I need to draw on stage about 40,000 4x4 squares each a different color. The color is determined by an xml file. I have this working in as2 and have converted it to as3 the problem is the amount of time it takes to draw is causing cs4 to time out. I have extended the script time out to 60 seconds. In cs3 as2 it would draw the squares in about 15 seconds. I was hoping as3 cs4 would improve performance but seems to be the opposite. I have tried several methods such as adding children and various drawing variations. the bellow seems to work the best, but is still causing flash to crash.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.display.Shape;

I have an app that allows the user to draw and create temporal objects (sounds and animation).I want the user to be able to SAVE and PUBLISH their output as an SWF file they can download to their computer. I have no problem with the drawing and animation aspects, but I'm stumped on how to begin coding the output. Do I need to call some remote actions (JSFL) on the server to create the SWF? How would be the best way to pass the data?

I want to program a program that draws a Pythagoras tree. The only programming language I know is C but I tried it in that language and it was horrible. Someone recommended Flash (AS3) to me so I am trying it in that now, but I only started yesterday so that's why I am posting this in the newbies forum. If this belongs in the math forum, then please move it there.
Anyway, I got to the point where I can draw the leftturning branch of the Pythagoras tree, but I don't know how to draw the other branches. The number of "houseshapes" a square with a rectangular triangle on top increases with every step according to the formula 1 x 2^(n-1) (First step is n=1). I created a function that draw this houseshape, called drawHouse() and it takes as its arguments the co-ordinate of the lower left corner of the square part of the house, the length of the side of the square part of the house and the current rotation angle. Rotation angles are always multiples of 45 for now, but I might try to expand it to other values later, but for now I hardcoded a lot of stuff that assumes the 'roof' of the house is a rectangular triangle.
how do I store the 2 new x and y co-ordinates that I can calculate after drawing the houseshape, for drawing the next houseshape, and how do I store the angles? Do I need 3 separate arrays for x, y and angle? And how do I then call the houseshape function for every x and y co-ordinate and angle in these arrays? Code is attached.

I have seen flash games where the player can actually draw objects. Meaning they have like a pen cursor in the game, and they can just start creating vector art. I have a game in mind where it might be a cool feature to have the user draw a few things. I bet this is a heavy subject so I am not asking for every bit of code I'd need to create something like this, but I have searched quite a lot for anything remotely brushing on this subject and clearly I have no idea what I should be punching into google.
