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 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.
i'm attempting to draw lines beside each other, but the last line from the first color group takes on the color from the second color group before the second color is assigned.

I would like to do something like this:The flash project loads any vector graphic object from hard disc (that graphic has only two color), change one color (for ex #ff0000) to an other (for ex #00ff00) and display.
View 1 Repliesim 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?
How can I change the color of a movieclip dynamically and still keep it's filters? For example:
I have a movieclip on stage with a bevel filter on it. I then want the movieclip to change from blue to red when it's moused over and vise versa when moused out.
The color values I have are hexidecimal: 0xff0000, 0x0000ff
How can I do this? I tried colortransform but when I use that it changes color but removes filters.
the only thing I found in the documentation was loadBitMapdata and methods of that type. Not sure if that's what I want.
In particular, I have an existing movieclip that is linked in my library. It has a graphic, a timeline, etc. However, I want to dynamically change it to another graphic and timeline.
Do i have to create a new movie clip with the new graphic and timeline? But I still want to keep all the attributes of my original movieclip, I just want the new graphic and timeline.
I'm trying to dynamically change movieclip colors. My MovieClips (on the main timeline) are named box_mc1, box_mc2, box_mc3, etc. I have the following code, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work.[code]I don't quite understand why the trace statement doesn't work either, but the mouse pointer changes to a hand when I move over the MovieClips.

View 6 RepliesI have a movieclip created of a wheel that needs to roll on the ground. The speed of lateral movement of the wheel, is provided by the user and the wheel needs to rotate such that, it looks like rolling vs slipping on the ground I essentially need the wheel to rotate faster/ slower based on user input- how can this be achieved.

i have found a beautiful water effect made in as3. The effect is available to download on the website below.I am trying to change the fill of the water (that is blue or any color that you pick).The original code fills the water like this:

shape.grapics.clear();
shape.graphics.beginFill(0x006699);
shape.graphics.lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 0);

I'm working on a SmartVersioning ad using MediaMind using ActionScript 2 (the publisher doesn't allow AS3).
Skipping over how it's implemented - basically what I have is a collection of MovieClips on the main timeline that contain a swappable image (through the Smart Versioning service). You can only define objects as Smart Versioning objects if they are on the main timeline.
What I'm doing with this is using BitmapData to use the assets on the main timeline as a source for the graphics throughout the animation.
Should be as easy as:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(143, 230, true, 0);
bmd.draw(_root.person1);
attachBitmap(bmd, getNextHighestDepth());

Something like that. However, my issue is not selecting a movieclip dynamically, but selecting another movieclip dynamically within a dynamically selected movieclip.
I am trying to display photos as a slideshow with some transitions effect. I am having error when using TransitionManager, the error code is
"1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Loader to an unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."
To me it seems like TransitionManager can only be used in MovieClip and the XML file is link to .jpg.
Is there a code to convert the Graphics into MovieClip and make the code work. Or is there a better way to do the slide show using XML data.[code]...
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.
View 2 RepliesI have a program that dynamically draws a polygon wherever the user clicks on the screen. (using lineto, moveto) However this polygon is always behind the other symbol objects on the screen even though its added last in the childlist. Is there an issue with depth when drawing symbols vs. drawing with lines? How can I ensure my dynamic object will display in front?

View 0 RepliesI'm coding games that come with the graphics done. Unfortunately the designer has some bad practices, such as not using Sprite symbols - never. And the files have dozens (even hundreds) of symbols in the library, very few of them with any animation. I would like to re-brand such symbols as Sprite to save some CPU (and maybe even kB), but my graphics-related skills are very low. Where should I start? Check and convert the symbols at authoring time or it's possible to do this at runtime? Can I effectively convert a MovieClip to Sprite (I'm guessing casting to sprite won't help much) or another light image type?
View 3 RepliesI'm still in the process of completely moving from AS2 to AS3 and I felt confident how to do this in AS2 but AS3 is much slower to work with. I'm generally ok with all the syntax changes but I'd continued to put all the code into my FLA and not multiple classes. The primary reason for this has been because I still need to visually design how parts work and use that repeatedly in different pages and sections (and for web projects the big files are all images and data which I load externally anyway). Yet as projects get bigger and we have multiple team members we need to break it all up.
So I'm taking a simple use case of a button. I want to reuse one button style with a number of different states and functions contained within it. It has some methods I can use to pass it a new title or set properties like whether it is Active or Inactive, Selectable or Visitable and all of those properties define different responses when events occur. All that code lives in a class, but that's linked to graphics within a movieClip that are designed through the Authoring tool (visually not code). Thus I have a final button.swfHow then do I reuse that Button across other pages (in different FLAs) that are designed in the Authoring tool and where I can update the button without updating all of the finally composed SWFs of those pages. Using a shared library asset slightly makes sense but that still requires recompiling the project each time and does that bring through it's linked classes too?
It doesn't seem right to need to load in the button.swf repeatedly, shouldn't I be able to load it in once and then it's available to the whole application to just initiate it as I want it, eg. button1:myButton=new MyButton() , and set it's properties each time.Also I can envisage that since I'm doing this in AS3 I'll get errors because I want to instantiate something that a parent SWF is loading in. Then the issue I struggle to understand how to deal for AS3 is how to tell the buttons to target a _root function with individual parameters that I set in it upon creation
I have one simple app, loads an image and then via class that extends shape the user is able to draw. Now I want to create an eraser tool so the user could erase something that he dislikes. As far as I know the easiest way is to make:
