in action script3, how we can rotate a line from both its vertices.. i mean if a line has two vertices say 1 and 2 . on holding the vertex 1 line should rotate with its axis on 2 and vice versa.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a short script in AS3 which will simply take some animated lines that are in a movieclip (pre-animated in library) and draw a 15px diameter circle around each vertex / point of the lines.
how to access the vertices of the lines in actionscript!
I want to rotate a line around a point in flex 4.0, i tried rotationX and all but whole line rotates and center of point is lost. How to rotate only one end point of line keeping the other constant?
Can someone point to example or explain how to do it? I'm a newbie in flex,
I'm adding a line to a canvas using canvas.moveTo(0, 0); canvas.lineTo(100, 100);, but I then want the user to move the mouse to set the rotation of the line.Google suggests using the rotation property,but I don't have a reference to the line object.Can I get a reference to the line or should I rotate the whole canvas?
View 3 RepliesI have a fla-file where the user can draw a line. I don?t know how to rotate this line properly. The line just moves around when I click the button to rotate. Is there a way to rotate a line created dynamicallyjust a bit?

ps. is there anyway to get this thing to ease when it rotates... instead of the jerky rotation it does now.
Is it possible to tween the vertices of an object? For example, could you tween the lower left corner of a square? I'm interested in being able to tween verts so that I can animate straight lines to arcs.
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to figure out (if at all logically possible) what the best way to go about tweening the vertices of a rectangle would be. the effect i'm going for is using the drawing api (or some other class if it allows it better) to draw a rectangle and then eventually be able to move those vertices with a tween while retaining the fill in the shape. i've tried looking at the matrix/rectangle/transform classes but i'm not sure that any of those would do what i'm trying to do.code is good if you'd like, but if not then at least some direction on where to head with this. i'm still using AS2 so i don't know if its possible in 3 in an easier way, but id rather do it in 2 for now.
View 6 RepliesI'm making my own dynamic 2D polygon pathfinder and have reached the point where i need to incorporate the actual pathfinding between the vertices. I figured Dijkstras algorithm would do the trick. If you know of better algorithms for mesh-pathfinding, please tell me. I know i could write it from scratch with reference to C, but I'm sure there are more efficient algorithms out there than the one I'd come up with.

I am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to work out how to create a simple demo that works as follows: A ball falls from the top of the stage.Player is able to draw a line anywhere on the stage. The ball will bounce/roll along the line such that the player can guide it at will. I don't think the coordinate rotation will be a problem for me but I can't figure out how to transform a line drawn by the player into a hit detectable sprite -- or realkly any way that I can get those line coordinates into my coordinate rotation routine. To keep it simple, I'm just working on the first part of the problem, getting the line to where I can hit test or know its position.Here is my code so far:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code]........
It always traces 0,0 instead of my current line coordinates - and even those I don't think would be sufficient.
in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to load a text file using line breaks as a delimeter rather than having a &var= at the beginning of each line? Like by a for instance? I have a text file with about 1000 lines that I need to load/display.
View 5 RepliesI'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.
I am trying to dispatch an event but not sure when I should do it to get the right results. The first event "submitClicked" is in the right spot and works great. However, the second event "dataReady" seems like it might be a problem. I need it to be dispatched after this.compiledFormData is set.Does AS3 wait for each line of code in a function to be executed before moving on to the next line?

I am using Flex 4 and AS3 and I am trying to make it so that the user can draw a freehand line with the cursor - I have this part done.However, I also need the line to be a dashed line instead of one solid line like it is now. below is my code I am using. I have found some examples on how to do this, but they are all for straight lines, not for a freehand line.
Class File (DrawingArea):
package
{
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?
I need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.
I am using flex 4.5.
I am developing a white board application which allows the user to draw line with arrow head (some like Microsoft Word line with arrow feature). I am using graphics property along with lineTo() method to draw a line. Now i have to draw a angular arrow on the last point of line. I am drawing the arrow by connecting the points around last points. As 360 line can pass through this point and each line can have a different angle of arrow.

I need to read a large CSV file (8-15 MB) and generate a LineChart in Flex AIR. Since Chart need data in structurd format like XML. When I read CSV and convert it to XML object 8 MB file size become 24 MB XML object and not able to graph.
Best solution is to read Line by line and read only part of data. How can I acheive this in Flex AIR ? Is it possible to read line by line in Flex.
Otherwise what are the best ways to draw a graph in FLEX using large data.

View 4 RepliesI have three MCs in a proximty menu (ie when the mouse is close they go to the mouses position and follow it).
My question is, I want the MCs to be joined by a 1px line and when the MC moves the line stretches and moves with it...how do I do this?
This maybe a bad explanation so here is a link to back it up...

I'm making a very simple game that lets you draw a curve by hand (using lineTo to the mouse position on mousemove) but now, I need to check wether the line intersects wiith another part of the same line (e.g. a loop)
I first used an onrollover command, and that worked, but not always because the mouse moved too fast (same with hittest with mouse). Then I pre-drawed the line in another mc, used hittest on it, and if it wasn't intersecting, draw it in the real mc. But that didn't work because it used the bounds to test. I guess the best way is to use some mathematical formula, but that would mean I have to save all my coordinates in an array..

Finding the intersection point of 2 line segments is easy enough.
But now I need to test wether a line with thickness intersects another (non-thick) line.
My idea is to actually perform 2 tests, one at the top and bottom of the thickness of the line. Does that make sense? Is there a better way to do it? I dont need the intersection point, just a boolean yes or no.
