I draw a shape with the pen or line tool. If i did not draw it perfectly connecting the dots, i cannot fill it with the paint buck fill tool. How can you tell it to just close the structure
View 3 RepliesI am beginner in flash and I started to learn flash c4 (with video lessons in my language but from flash 8! but it is not problem now about drawing than only about code in actionscript). I have now problem in using of Paint Bucket Tool in flash cs4. I made a ship, I made a whole document/white page for drawing in rectangle tool (frame for picture), and I made to lines which will be like a hill. it is for background, behind the ship. but when I want to color this background, to be green for example, my Pain Bucket Tool don't want to color ONLY place behind the ship and under mentioned "hill lines", than Paint Tool color whole document. therefore I can't make a hill because I get everything colored in green.
I tried all option about closing of gaps. how can I color only wanted places in picture and not whole picture? "hill" is not strait line so I don't know how to select hill space. of course, after it I will have to repeat process to color space above "hill lines", it will be blue like sky. and just to say that "2 hill lines" are from left to right side of document, there is no hole, it is closed line.
for my class i have to draw this fish. in one of the steps it says to draw fins with the pencil. then it says to use the paint bucket tool to color it in. however i cannot color it in. i used all the options too, close small, medium, & large gaps and i still can't color it in. does it have to connect to the start point? i simply attached it to the fish's body. i started over on the 1st part of this 3 time already, and my patience is wearing thin.
View 2 RepliesI'm a student currently trying to learn Flash CS3. However I've encountered a problem with the paint bucket. In my assignment I've created a simple rocket, each part with it's corresponding layer. Now I need to go back in and fill the body in a light gray color. I did so successfully with the nose cone. The problem now is that the bucket won't fill any other area no matter what I do, or which layer is selected.

I come across a problem when i follow the book "classroom in a book series" the Flash CS4 one (Red cover book) Chapter 2 Q.1 I try to draw straight lines or curves but i found i still cannot manage how to use PEN TOOL How can i draw straight line? Also how can i draw absolute vertical or horizontal line with some special combination key like CTRL or SHIFT i tried guessing SHIFT or CTRL while using PEN TOOL but no help
How can i draw curve? i know it depends somehow on whether i hold my click for a new anchor point? Any tutorial which is clear and easy for new comer for fully understanding for PEN TOOL.(Currently i try reading pdf reference from ADOBE Web site and google search but did not make myself understand.)
Q.2 I cannot use bucket filling a shape draw by PEN TOOL(i already search google sites but cannot find one with satisfied causes for this FILLING Problems) like the image shown below(Please click to enlarge this PRINTSCREEN) Tools i used are PEN TOOL drawing a shape first then a BUCKET for filling color.
Trying to draw a triangle and then fill the color inside using the paint tool. I am not able to fill any color inside. Made sure the lines are overlapping, tried using the fill large gaps, made sure alpha is set to 100%.
View 3 RepliesI want to make a paint bucket function, I know about floodfill, but it leaves a white (like the background color) outline.And anyhow I would rather make it on a sprite without converting it to a bitmap, is there a way?And if not then anyone knows how to fix the outline on the floodfill?
View 3 RepliesI would like to implement Photoshop's Paint Bucket like functionality in ActionScript. Suppose, I have loaded a JPEG/ PNG image into flash using URLLoader class. Now I'd click on a colored region to replace that color with another one. Now I've done something using the threshold method in the BitmapData class. But the problem is this method replaces that color found in all the regions in the image. What I want is replace the color in only the adjacent region to where I click with the mouse.
View 5 RepliesI'm putting together a little application that has a simpe paint bucket functionality. I'm having a small problem, i'm sure it's an easy fix, but frankly I'm not much of a programmer.
Essentially what I have is a set of color swatches that users can select, and then a grid of movie clips with a series of frames, each corresponding to a swatch color. Over that, I have a grid of clear buttons that check to see which swatch is selected and then tell the movieclip underneath to go to the frame that corresponds to the right color. What I want to do is just set up the function once and call it for each movie clip, rather than repeating the function for each cell in my 6x7 grid.

I am making this drawing application that so far contains a pencil tool, eraser, text tool, clear tool, and even save image feature. There are a few more features that I would like to add, including a paint bucket tool and a open image feature, but I am not sure exactly how to code them. Here is my code for the whole program:
package
{
import PNGEncoder;

View 1 Replieshow to create a cut tool like MS Paint with flash8.
View 2 Repliesif you open microsoft paint and use the pencil tool you'll tell its not like the brush tool in a vector based program. vector based tools keep drawing the object until you let go of the mouse. but the pencil tool on the other hand seems like the canvas is divided up into a grid and where ever the mouse clips it knows what grid it belongs to and it draws the pixel in that grid. thats what it feels like. my question is say i open up a new as3 file, how would i make something like that?
taking into account of course i'd be adding a zoom function were you'll be able to zoom in up to 8 times. but thats something i assume i'd worry about later, as i should be able to do that no problem.
i've tried to simulate a pencil tool, for drawing above a imagem, but the drawing is below the picture. How fix it?

I have a drawing api with the simple code of a flash:
Code:
stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("dibujo", 1);
dibujo.lineStyle(4, 0x000FFF, 100);
attachMovie("lapiz", "lapiz", 11);
[Code] .....
But I need a more complex lineStyle, I mean, a brush that look like a paint brush, like water color.
I`m workin on a cd-rom project about art analysis, paintings, artists, It is for a teacher that will use it in his classes.I need to learn how to simulate a blackboard, that he could click and paint on some parts of the paintings. Does anyone know a tutorial about that?
View 14 RepliesSo we're sitting here at the studio trying to figure out how to use the pen tool without a stroke. We do most of the work in Illustrator, then paste it in Flash. Unfortunately, some objects sometimes disappear while breaking the object down, which means that we have to do some actual touchup work in Flash.
View 2 RepliesI draw a shape with the pen tool in Flash CS4. I made sure the shape was closed. But, I cannot fill the shape no matter what. Paint bucket tool does not work. Whatever I do, I get the red diagonal line on the fill color. I can fill a shape with the rectangle or oval tools but not the pen tool.
View 7 RepliesWhen I use the Flash CS4 brush tool in "Paint Inside" mode it erases part of the strokes around shapes. For rectangles it erases the stroke on the top and left hand side where the brush head crosses it, though it never seems to affect the other sides. The effect is less consistant with ovals, but it breaks the strokes at some points. I am using Flash CS4 version 10.0.2 on Windows XP, and I have checked for program updates through the Help menu. Here are two examples:

View 1 Repliesim confused with the grid fill using the deco tool,its options does not have animate pattern,so if u have links to tutorials pls let me now,or else shed some light to my confusion.
View 3 RepliesThe below script allows for line point adjustment, this works by dragging the yellow handles to new positions as you can see. Now the problem is when you click and drag the circular handle it drags the whole line like its supposed to but the other handles don't reposition on the ends of the lines. Take a look at the script and you will see that the handle coordinates are stored in objs in the form {x: y ,.
View 14 RepliesI have a game design project that I have to animate characters for. The Bone tool in Flash seems like the perfect tool for the job!Here's my problem: I can draw things in Flash and rig them with the Bone tool and animate them fine. However, I'm much more comfortable with Illustrator. But whenever I try to bring in external artwork, I get lots of errors.Create (solid color, single object) body parts as layers in Illustrator. Import Illy file to stage in Flash. Drag bone tool across body. Body is highlighted but I can't connect the other objects. I realize the Armature is only above the body layer and all the other layers are on top. Drag Armature layer to top. Still no luck. The bone just doesn't care about the other objects.Should I make all the elements into MovieClips? That hasn't worked when I've tried it. Should I import differently? Should I make the entire character into a movieclip and then rig the instance on the stage?
I'll be exporting it to PNGs at the end, so I don't need it to be robust down the line.I get other errors with other importing methods too, but I can't recall them ("Can't connect...something" when using a PSD).
I'm trying to use a bitmap fill, but I can't seem to get it to work.I'm using FlashDevelop with assets imported from CS4 - this isn't the problem, I can instantiate the asset I'm targeting perfectly fine, so I suspect that it's a problem with what I'm trying to do. Here's my code:
Code:
//get the bitmap data from a grass symbol
//grass symbol IS present - can be added to stage fine
var grassBMD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(155, 80);[code]....
Nothing gets displayed in the box, so I'm suspicious that I'm not allowed to use bitmap fill in non-primitive shapes.
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.
