Actionscript :: Drawing Shapes In Flex?

Feb 9, 2011

I want to develop an image editing application in Flex 4. My initial requirement is to draw various shapes like Line, Rectablge, Triangle, Circle, Star etc in appication. I want to facilitate user to draw shapes using rubber banding like professional applications do.

All shapes would be vector and should look smooth in an size. So, can't use bitmap and scale them.

What are better methods to achieve this?

Actionscript 3 :: Drawing Shapes In Flex 4 Addchild?

Mar 31, 2010

I am simply trying to draw a rectangle inside of a panel using flex4. I am using spark instead of mx. It complains about addchild being replaced by addelement; however, addelement expects type ivisualcomponent. I think sprite should be of that type; however, it reports an error when trying to use the below code... I have tried a few different ways. I think I am missing something very basic about flex 4.

Flex :: Workarounds For Flash Bug When Drawing Large Shapes?

Dec 12, 2009

When you use Graphics object to draw very large shape(that does not fit in 10000x10000 pixels) stroke width may become much wider than value specified in lineStyle function.For now I have only two options:

1. When drawing line you can split it into several lines. However this trick does work only for drawing lines, polylines and polygons. There is no way to apply this to drawing circles and ellipses. Well, we can approximate circles via bezier curves, but this approach seems to be very inefficient.

2. Perform manual cliping. But this require manual implementation of different cliping techiniques, and I think ActionScript does not suit well for this sort of task. And again there is need to approximate visible parts of large circles.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Shapes At An Angle?

Dec 29, 2009

I have a code, that draws a horizontal line, then it turns into a slope, and at the end of the slope it draws a circle. Here's a code:

Code:
var xspeed:Number = 1; // defines increments for x of slope
var yspeed:Number = 2; // defines increments for y of slope
var hspeed:Number = 5; // horizontal line increments

[Code]....

Create document 800x700 and put this code into main timeline. Now test movie As you can see, everything works great. But there is a problem. The circle is being drawn at 0 degree angle. But I want the circle to match the angle of the slope, so it looks like the slope and the circle are both at the same angle.

Tween Between Two Shapes Created With Drawing Ap?

Jul 11, 2009

I have 2 shapes drawn with the drawing api - the points are stored in an array like this...

private var shape_points : Array = [ [81,61],[81,46],[84,43],[84,0],[11,0],[0,5],[0,48],[69,48],[81,61 ] ];

Both shapes have the same number of points. I need to tween the points from one shape to the other using tweenlite/max or tweener.

Flash :: Drawing Outlines Around Organic Shapes

Mar 21, 2010

One thing that seems particularly easy to do in the Flash IDE but difficult to do with code is to outline an organic shape. In the IDE you can just use the inkbucket tool to draw a stroke around something. Using nothing but code it seems much trickier. One method I've seen is to add a glow filter to the shape in question and just mess with the strength. But what if i want to only show the outline?What I'd like to do is to collect all of the points that make up the edge of the shape and then just connect the dots. I've actually gotten so far as to collect all of the points with a quick and dirty edge detection script that I wrote. So now I have a Vector of all the points that makeup my shape. How do I connect them in the proper sequence so it actually looks like the original object?[code]

Imagine I have 2 squares at random positions on the canvas. I need to draw an arrowed connector line between them. I need it to tend to the target square's center but end on its border.

How do I find out the exact points between which to draw the line?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Shapes Based On Button Selection?

Jan 3, 2011

I am in the process of learning AS 3 and Flash on my own and currently using the Actionscript 3.0 Adobe Classroom in a book CS4 version. Having a problem with the Lesson Adendum if anyone has done it. This lession requires you to create two buttons. They both draw shapes on the stage. When one is clicked, it draws Rectangles on the stage following the mouse movement. When the other is clicked, it draws Ellipses instead. The problem I am having is that it just draws rectangles and not ellipses when the 2nd button is clicked. Would be greatful if someone could tell me what i am doirng wrong. Here is the code that I have so far. Apologize for the commented out code, I left it in to show what I have tried:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Import Shapes Directly From The Library As Shapes And Not As Sprites / MovieClips?

Feb 17, 2009

I have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.

Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?

Flex :: Manipulate Shapes In Adobe?

Sep 18, 2009

I'm working on an application where I'm drawing some rectangles on the screen, and then will need to manipulate the shapes (change their size, location). I tried to do something with .drawRect and clearing the shape each time I was manipulating it, but the RAM usage was spiking and then falling (presumeably because i keep reinitializing a new component and then removing it, and garbage collection was cleaning it out). This seems like its probably not the most efficient way to do it.

Is there a way for me to just create a shape once, and then move it around on a canvas (and change its width and height without all this RAM usage?

Flex :: Underline Cont - Draw Lines Or Shapes Or Whatever Directly Onto An Mx

Jan 18, 2010

Basically I discovered its no problem at all to draw lines or shapes or whatever directly onto an mx:Text object using its graphics property (Text.graphics.lineTo, etc.). If just displaying that text, then any such drawn lines are displayed as well. However, if that Text object is used as a mask, then any drawn lines on that text object are merely ignored when the mask is rendered. And its hard for me to see the reason behind this, if anyone else is able to. I mean you're designating the Text object itself as the mask. It seems like any visual change to that text object should be part of the mask.

Flex :: Drawing A Stick-man In AS3?

Oct 25, 2010

It looks to me like the easiest route in AS3 is to use a Shape/Sprite's Graphics property to draw these lines, clearing and re-drawing each time the stickman changes. But some of the newer Flash 10 stuff seems to suggest a closer functionality to 3D graphics where you can define points and lines/triangles and then move the points rather than recreating all from scratch each render. Is this the case?
