Make Drawing / Sketch Video For Website
Mar 29, 2011I am brand new to all Adobe applications but have the CS5 Master Suite and have been taking many courses through Lynda.com for months. I wish to learn how to make a small video of an object being sketched. That is use a drawing tablet and stylus (whatever they are called...I have NO idea) and trace over a photo. When finished I wish to have the video of the slowly created tracing of the object sped up and when complete fade away and the actual photograph of the object traced overlap fade into view. In other words use this as a transition technique for presenting a photograph of an object rather then just have it "pop" onto the screen. My questions are: (1) What special drawing pad and stylus are required (if any....can I do it with just the mouse?) (2) Is Flash Professional the program one would use to make such a video? If not which Adobe program is best suited to this task, and (3) Is there a NAME to this "technique" in whatever program was given in answer to question two so I know where to begin and/or look for a tutorial on how to accomplish this technique?
View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Sketch Drawing To Specific Area (Movie Clip) / For Math Process Visualization
Oct 12, 2011By the way i want to make a visualization about a math process to show partial function graph.
I think i can make a scene which in 1000x1000 pixels. I'll start from top of scene and when i press a button i'll move camera to second section which i want to do sketch. I want to make a sketchpad which can draw in a 2 part movieclip. First part is -X section of XY Axis Graph. Second part is +X section of XY Axis Graph. I'll put image of XY Axis Graph to -X and +X section of XY Axis Graph. So it'll be seem like one part. And i'll draw to -X section. After that i'll skip to second sketchpad with camera. And i'll make same thing. But for now i'll draw to +X. And when i press conclusion button camera will skip to bottom of scene and move -X of figure1 and +X of figure2 to bottom. So i can see figure1's -X section and figure2's +X section as merged in bottom. So it'll show to me partial function graph.
But problem is sketchpad is drawing to _root. So i'm unable to move sketch or shapes on XY Axis Graph. But if i can draw that to movie clip i can move it like an object with drawing and merge it like i want.
So i want to make a sketchpad which make drawing in limits of movieclip.
how i can do it ? Also i'm using following code:
Code:
import mx.controls.Loader;
// 1. SETTING THINGS
// ----------------
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Highlighter Effect In Sketch Pad Application
Jan 26, 2009I'm updating a sketch pad application for someone and I'm running into trouble creating a highlighter effect. What I'm trying to do is avoid having the highlighter opacity change when lines are drawn on top of each other. First I tried setting the line opacity to 50%. As expected, the opacity increases where the lines cross. So far, other sketch pad FLAs I've found have the same problem. Then I tried setting the opacity of the movie clip I'm drawing into to 50%, and drew lines at 100%. Surprisingly, the result is the same as above. Finally, I decided to just draw into a mask to reveal a 50% yellow mc below. But of course lines don't work in masks, so that didn't work either. I suppose I could draw a bunch of circles between points to create a line but that doesn't seem like it would be the best solution.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Generate Drawing API Data From Drawing Object?
Jul 22, 2009Basically 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.
How To Have Outline Sketch On Layer A And Color On Layer B
Nov 5, 2009I'm trying to do a little comic comedy type video in Flash. I've done an outline sketch with the pen tool of my first character, now I want to color it BUT I want to keep the colors and the outline sketch separated on two different layers. Is there a way I can select the path (outline) on layer A and then colorize it with the bucket tool on layer B? The problem I'm having is that every object I select it automatically jumps to that corresponding layer.
One reason why I want to do it this way is I still want to continue working freely on the outline sketch since it's not fully finished, so that I just can blend the colors out and keep working on the outline, at the same time I want to color it while I go just to see where it's going and to make sure that I'm not wasting my time unnecessarily with trying to do a outline just to find out that it won't work out at the end.
how to do a comic type animation, how to create the characters, how to make them move and talk? It can be a free or paid resource.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Drawing Api Drawing 40,000 Objects
Feb 18, 2009I 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.

Mar 1, 2007I'm in the process in making a little drawing board using flash Drawing API. Right now i have the lines drawn by using lineTo() but i was wondering if there is a way to erase portions of the line. I know i could just write over it with white but was thinking of a better way. maybe by change the alpha or using a mask something like that. Just wanted to know if anyone came across this before or have a theory that can give me some insight to solve this problem..
View 1 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Drawing Program In Flash?
Feb 11, 2010I have a small flash that I'd like to expand upon, and basically I'm wondering if it's possible to Make a button that lets you erase things on click, rather than clearing the screen.Draw lines of different colours/thicknessHave the Flash output a code for the drawing (similar to Punk-o-Matic 1/2) and be able to put it into the Flash in a text form to have it output the picture. (Thus allowing sharing of pictures).Here's the code.
// 1. SETTING THINGS_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
// 2. EVENTS IN _ROOT:_root.onMouseDown = function(){ line.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse); line.lineStyle(2,0x000000,100); this.onMouseMove = function(){ line.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse); updateAfterEvent(); }}_root.onMouseUp = function(){ this.onMouseMove = null;}
Also see included .fla. It's very small as all it features is a default stage that you can draw on, with an Erase button that clears the screen.

Flash :: Way To Skip Drawing Frames?
Feb 7, 2011I'm creating a flash game which uses time intervals with setInterval and sometimes does heavy calculations. The problem is that on slower machines these calculations can't keep up with the framerate and the movie slows down BUT the timers are unaffected what makes them asynchronous to the movie. Looking back, it was a bad idea to use timers but I can't change it back now. So...is there a way to skip drawing frames?

Oct 22, 2011The issue I am having is how to tackle forming a logo using circles. I have done one letter manually, however it would take forever to do this with every single letter, and so I am asking here if anyone knew of a faster method. Requirements:
- Has to fill non-circular letters(i.e. does not have to be precise, but look like it has edges)
- Circles have to animate in, therefore they need to have drop shadow and seem like they are landing in place
