Pen Tool Drawing & Bucket Filling
Dec 28, 2009
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.

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.

I 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.

This is a very very basic question.I am able to colour and otherwise manipulate elementary vector objects, such as rectangles. Yes, I know how to use the colour panel and the fil land ink pot tool. However, sometimes I can colour a vector shape drawn with the pen tool and sometimes I cannot. It seems completely random.In detail: select keyframe on an empty layer.I make a triangle with the pen tool, and a small circle shows completion. I get a triangle.This is coloured not for the stroke but for the layer. It seems to exist in two densities - a layer coloured line for drawing, a thicker, same-coloured one after selection.However, neither the ink bottle nor the fill tool do anything. I can set the colour in advance, or after the event, through the colour panel or otherwise, nothing. A gradient fill does not even show the guide lines for the fill tool.

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.

I have a requirement to create a drawing tool. I have completed till where on mouse down i can draw and on mouse up i stop the drawing. Now i want a eraser in place; something very similar to what is there in paint. So on mouse down of the eraser and moving over the line segment should erase the portion of the lines.

Is it possible to draw a strokeless shape with the pen tool (as in Illustrator)? It is quite tedious to have to go back and remove strokes from my shapes.... especially since I can't see how to do it without clicking on each segment and hitting "delete"!

bit of a noob at flash, so I've been having a bit of a difficulty in using the pencil/brush tool in drawing an animation. I set a keyframe, and paint a yellow stroke. Then i continue onto the next key. I then go back to the first keyframe, and want to paint a black stroke over part of the yellow stroke i made earlier.
after selecting this first frame (making the layer active), I go to change the stroke color of the brush to black but find that it now changes my yellow stroke (which I want to keep yellow) to black. I see that in selecting the frame, by default whatever strokes were made on this frame are also selected (which I don't want). So I'd like to know how do I avoid altering my previous stroke and still put a different colored stroke overlapping it on the same frame?
also is it possible to append a brush/pencil stroke to an old brush/pencil stroke?

I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Executive Suite CS5. In the Flash Professional CS5 program I am trying to do a drawing with the pencil tool. In the old version of Flash that I have (4.0) if I draw two lines that overlap, I can delete the line past the point where they cross. In this version I can't do that.It treats each line I draw as a separate item and won't combine them. I notice the properties panel says I am in Object mode which would be the reason. However I can't get it to go to merge mode, which is supposed to be the default.Is this because it's the trial version and not all features work in that version? My email address is[url].... and I can be phoned at 541 782-5904 (Oregon).

Is there a way in as3 to manually call one of the preset line stroke styles? I'm going to be drawing a line in as3 and want to use one of the stroke styles given in the pull down menu (6th down actually) in the line drawing tool in the gui.

I want to display text which can be circled/marked over by the user. Also the user must be able to print/erase and move on to a new swf file once the page has been printed off. I have looked at a few different options but as yet I have been unsuccessful with the functionality.

Is there a way in as3 to manually call one of the preset line stroke styles? I need to call one of the stroke styles given in the pull down menu (6th down actually) in the line drawing tool. I.E.

i'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.

I have extensive experience with MS Visio Solution development, and have a need to provide similar functionality in a web interface in the context of a heavily visual product-builder or "configurator". Visio functionality that I hope to reproduce:Visual shapes stored in a sidebar, from which the user drags and drops onto a drawing area Shape creation on the user's end is probably not necessary... just arrangement, sizing, changing parameters etc.A back-end for extracting the parts the user has dropped onto the drawing area, including the parameters they've changed, dimensions, relations between components etc.In the most general sense, I just need an interactive interface.Given the above parameters, is Flash a good option? Is there a development environment that might be better?

I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.

I 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.

I have a whole bunch of dynamic variables that I need to load into Flash, to help control a dynamic card game being developed. However, what is the best way to load these variables? I've used LoadVars in the past for two or three, but this is over a dozen. They are all primarily pulled from mySQL, based on Username.

I'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:

import PNGEncoder;

I'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.
