Actionscript 3 :: Foreach Drawing Object In Movieclip?
May 26, 2010
I got a europe map designed in flash (1 movieclip, 1 frame, really simple), which contains the map as drawing objects directly inside the scene and in addition some specific countries as clickable buttons. So far it's working fine. What I need now is to make all the other drawing objects clickable without having to edit and script each object. I'm thinking about something like this (pseudo code):
foreach(obj in MovieClip) {
if(obj !typeof(Button)) {
obj.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, genericClickListener);
}
}
I just don't know the syntax how to achieve that.

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've created a drawing tool which allows the user to draw on the canvas, the problem is that if I try to draw over a movieclip nothing happens. Is there a way I can allow for the user to draw over movieclips? For example if I had a background of paper?
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();
addChildAt(drawingLine,0);

I'm trying to get specific variables out of a for each loop. These variables are used to display a click event on a marker on a map. If you click the marker on the map, the details pop over it. Now these details are being overwritten each time the loop starts (50 times). The solution I'm looking for, let's me select a marker on the map with the according detail attached to it.
There might be an easy solution but I haven't found it yet.
The code : for each(artistXML in artistList.events.event)

I have a file with a many button instances, the names of which I've put into 2 different arrays. I'm adding an eventListener to each button dynamically using the forEach...in method. I want the buttons in the first array to call a function and the buttons in the second array to call a different function. I'm getting no errors on compilation, but my problem is that buttons in both arrays are calling both functions.
<code>
var btnList:Array = [bRed, bBlue, bPurple, bGold, bGreen];var greenList:Array = [gb1, gb2, gb3, gb4, gb5, gb6, gb7, gb8, gb9, gb10, gb11, gb12, gb13, gb14];

I have an image slideshow program working right now and it takes in a folder of a hard coded in number of images. I would like to change this so that it can take in a folder and will display all of them no matter the number. Is there a way to do this in flash? I'm thinking something like the foreach loop in perl or other scripting language. It is possible to store then number of images in a text file but I also don't know how to read that in flash either. I'm working in actionscript 3.

I've got e website where the thumbnails for the gallery are dispaly using:
Code:
{foreach from=$product_images key=count item=imageArray name=images}
{foreach from=$imageArray item=image}
{$image.id}
{/foreach}
{/foreach}
and the <ul> list.
Now I would like to display it also on the flash presentation attached to this website.
How can I do it?
I'm passing variables from the wbesite to flash using:
Code:
<param name=FlashVars value="myVariable={$product.product_name}&item_no={$product.product_reference}&thumb={$image.id}" />
When I use '$image.id' without checking the Array it returns only the last image.

I'm wondering which is faster in AS3:
array.forEach( function(v:Object, ...args):void
{ ... } );
Or
var l:int = array.length;
for ( var i:int = 0; i < l; i++ ) { ... }

I've received a number of graphics from an Illustrator user - they imported as symbols containing drawing objects. When I opened one of these symbols and tried to tween (fade out) the drawing object, I don't have the Alpha option. I don't use Illustrator myself and I had to install CS4 so I'm not used to that either.

I'm having a hard time with strokes. First I selected a stroke and the properties panel would not let me change it's thickness. How to add a stroke to an object. We used to have a tool that allowed us to apply a stroke to an object. That is gone now. How we attach a line to an object now?? It looks like Adobe has changed Flash CS4 to be more like Photoshop. It is about as intuitive as a tax form.

Well, I've been using flash a while, but I just ran into a newbie problem.. I must have hit some sort of hotkey, but I can't figure out how to undo it or anything in the preferences. Anyways, I'm running Flash CS4 and normally when you draw a shape and select that shape it selects the fill and it looks like little dots all over the shape when its selected. Now when I click on a shape it has a border around it and I can't just select a piece of the shape. Also, what's bothering me is that when you draw two shapes on top of each other, Flash used to merge those shapes automatically, but now they are staying separate unless I manually Union them. It still says they're drawing objects, its not converting them to symbols or anything, but they are kind of acting like symbols in the way I can interact with them. How can I turn this setting off?

In my movie I have a round drawing object, which I wish to view enlarged (about 2000% of original size). While editing it looks fine and round but after publishing all the roundness is lost and instead I get visible angles. I attach 2 images to visualize, one from the editing stage and the other after publishing. Is there any way I can get around that strange effect? I created the image from some text i "broke apart" to a drawing object.

Whenever I draw a shape with Object Drawing turned on the blue bounding box that appears whenever it is selected isn't aligned properly to the outer edgers of the shape. Like this:
Admittedly it isn't a major problem it's just a bit irritating especially when people I'm teaching to use Flash ask me why it looks the way it does.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm trying to debug AS3 code on production. I have no access to trace(), can't write to disk or open a socket. What I want is to display something on screen.
With AS2 I could just access _root and create a text field with my trace data.
how I can pull this off with AS3? My class extends Object, it is not a sprite and is never added to a parent display object.

This is one of those things that seems like it should be really simple but doesn't work.
I'm trying to create a movieClip using the drawing API, but once I do so I can't get it to move with ActionScipt. My code looks (basically) like this:
Code:
drawBox = function (options) {beginFill();
lineStyle(blah);
moveTo(blah);

I'm doing this project, about 2 lines intersecting each other(the 2 lines are not always on the same position). I try to find the intersections point using collision detection method but how do I place an object on the intersections point?
if(line1.hitTestObject(line2)) //
So this is how we find the intersection point but we do not know how to draw / place an object on the intersection point.

I'm creating a flash based dynamic electrical circuit board and have come across a problem. I have a function that is a fired from ENTER_FRAME event that loops though an array where each element contains the following:
'#parentObject1#ChildObject1#parentObject2#ChildOb ject2#Colour'
To Clarify - A line should be drawn from ChildObject1 to ChildObject2 in the saved colour. The above is a string. I slice at each '#', which is working. Each object gets added through my created toolbox so added dynamically.I can get the DisplayOBject of the parents by using - var obj1:displayObject = getChildByName(sliced[1]);
But cannot do the same for the Child object by - var subobj1:displayObject = obj1.getChildByName(sliced[2]);The reason for this is that each parent can be dragged so I would like the drawn line to move with the children.how to find the child objects

I'm trying to understand how the Flex framework draws objects (Button, Label, Image, etc.). The Button class seems to draw itself by addChild()ing its ProgrammaticSkin. However, where in the framework is the Graphics object being passed around in the hierarchy to achieve the drawing. I want to get to the level of 2D API.

Right now I can create a straight line from mouse down to mouse up. What I can't quite get is a preview of that line. does anyone know of a simple way to show a preview of the line while the mouse is still down and the user is moving the mouse?
What I have now:
Code:
var clip:Shape = new Shape();
addChild(clip);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startLine);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drawLine);
function startLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);
} function drawLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
clip.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xff9933);
}

I'm creating a platforming game, and I have a fun little water thing set up. My goal is to be able to drag a water object from the library to the scene, and have the water physics kick in when the game starts.
To do this, I made the water object a black line, because width is necessary to know how wide I'd like the pool to be. Within the class I have a heightmap, so then I can connect all the heights together with lines using the drawing API.
The problem is, I can't get the original black line to disappear while still displaying the new lines and points Setting the alpha to 0 will permanently make everything invisible. I'm kind of new to this so maybe it's a dumb question.

I am making a movie clip and want to draw lines from one movie clip to another to make it look like connectors on a flowchart. How do I use the returned values using a getbounds() method to draw a line from movie clip A to movie clip B. how the xMin, xMax, yMin and yMax values translate to finding the 4 corners of a rectangular movieclip. Can I use these values to draw lines from the movieclip using lineto().
