creating a drawing pad in Flash that will let a user (from my website) draw an image(also have different shapes and colors) then be able to click on "save". Now here's the tricky part, When a user clicks on save, I need it to be saved as a .jpeg file then have that image sent to my email for review

View 1 RepliesI want to create the drawing effect in Flash that many of us have seen on various websites.URL...I have an object already made in Fireworks. It's just a simple rounded rectangle with a 10 pixel stroke. I'm looking to draw the mask which in turn will give the impression to the user that the object is being drawn (because masks work in reverse).Right now, I have a version already done with a frame-by-frame slow erase of the mask. When played, it makes it look like the rectangle is being drawn. The problem is that it's just too shaky and jumpy. I need a more fluid animation which, like most things, can be done much better in ActionScript. I saw the Drawing API tutorial on Kirupa.com, but it doesn't show how to animate it and I definitely don't know enough AS to do it myself.

View 2 Repliesi'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.
The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.
Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this.

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 cannot get this to work. Without the "var drawing", "var drawing being true or false" and the "if statement", it works fine. But I need to add the "var drawing" so that you can only draw if you turn it on by pressing the "draw_btn" button. Note, I do not get an error, the script "apparently" contains no errors. Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
var drawing = false
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);

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?

// This code is for drawing the lines on the page
//1.
var drawingLine:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChildAt(drawingLine,0);

maybe point me towards a better way to mask. png file is way too big. I have been using the mask layer option to create my own mask around a jpg image by drawing around it on the mask layer. There has to be a fetter and faster way to do this. Is it possible to maybe have a specific color range have an alpha value of 0. Similar to green screening whereas If I put the item I want to clip on a green background flash will auto take out the green for me. and by auto I mean action script maybe. I think this can be done but im not finding it.
how are these guys clipping these images [URL] they have the movie clips set up where the black background on the 3 layers of shoes is getting masked out. When I go into the shoe movie clips I see there is a black background but it just disappears when I go back to main timeline.
I need to draw on stage about 40,000 4x4 squares each a different color. The color is determined by an xml file. I have this working in as2 and have converted it to as3 the problem is the amount of time it takes to draw is causing cs4 to time out. I have extended the script time out to 60 seconds. In cs3 as2 it would draw the squares in about 15 seconds. I was hoping as3 cs4 would improve performance but seems to be the opposite. I have tried several methods such as adding children and various drawing variations. the bellow seems to work the best, but is still causing flash to crash.

import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Graphics;

View 1 RepliesI have an app that allows the user to draw and create temporal objects (sounds and animation).I want the user to be able to SAVE and PUBLISH their output as an SWF file they can download to their computer. I have no problem with the drawing and animation aspects, but I'm stumped on how to begin coding the output. Do I need to call some remote actions (JSFL) on the server to create the SWF? How would be the best way to pass the data?

View 2 RepliesI want to program a program that draws a Pythagoras tree. The only programming language I know is C but I tried it in that language and it was horrible. Someone recommended Flash (AS3) to me so I am trying it in that now, but I only started yesterday so that's why I am posting this in the newbies forum. If this belongs in the math forum, then please move it there.
Anyway, I got to the point where I can draw the leftturning branch of the Pythagoras tree, but I don't know how to draw the other branches. The number of "houseshapes" a square with a rectangular triangle on top increases with every step according to the formula 1 x 2^(n-1) (First step is n=1). I created a function that draw this houseshape, called drawHouse() and it takes as its arguments the co-ordinate of the lower left corner of the square part of the house, the length of the side of the square part of the house and the current rotation angle. Rotation angles are always multiples of 45 for now, but I might try to expand it to other values later, but for now I hardcoded a lot of stuff that assumes the 'roof' of the house is a rectangular triangle.
how do I store the 2 new x and y co-ordinates that I can calculate after drawing the houseshape, for drawing the next houseshape, and how do I store the angles? Do I need 3 separate arrays for x, y and angle? And how do I then call the houseshape function for every x and y co-ordinate and angle in these arrays? Code is attached.
i'm trying to animate the drawing of a picture with my wacom tablet, but the only way that i know how is to start with the full drawing and erase frame-by-frame backwards, which takes a lot of time and can look choppy.

View 3 RepliesI have seen flash games where the player can actually draw objects. Meaning they have like a pen cursor in the game, and they can just start creating vector art. I have a game in mind where it might be a cool feature to have the user draw a few things. I bet this is a heavy subject so I am not asking for every bit of code I'd need to create something like this, but I have searched quite a lot for anything remotely brushing on this subject and clearly I have no idea what I should be punching into google.
View 3 RepliesI have a project I am working on in which I would like to teach how to cash a scratch off card. I have made the scratch and made it so it will "scratch", however my masking technique seems to not be working how it should...
The idea is that the user would "scratch" the card and then hit "Next" after that it would load a new frame (Progress Bar would move) and then do what they need to on that frame, and so on.
However it would seem that Flash is keeping the users "drawing" and still allows them to draw after the first frame, which is not what I want.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI have a flash CS3 AS 2.0 that is composed of 7 layers. I am trying to draw on a specific layer but I can't figure out how.One layer is named Carm and this is where my button controls are;
[code]...
This works to draw a line but it looks like it is on a layer behind all of the others. How can I draw on differnet layers I guess is the question I have?
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?
