Actionscript 3 :: Finding Control Points For Bezier Curve?
May 9, 2011
First i want to say its my first post and i've been diging straight up gold from this site and i love it and everyone out there smart enough to give out solutions.So basically am writing a game and i have bezier curve that controls where an actor moves. Am using only 3 points (start, control1, end) and everything is fine.Now i want to create a bezier curve that passes through a certain point (r1) at t = 0.5 . The problem being that i have my start point, my end point and my point (r1) at t=0.5, and i need to find the control point.

For 2 weeks now, i have been trying to work out this issue and still i have had no luck.. i dont even know what im looking for.
See image attached to explain better than words.
My idea is i need to generate a nice curve between graphical points but in a way that produces smooth curves at runtime.

How can I translate bezier pen anchor and control Points into drawing API code? I would like to design my shapes by hand in flash or illustrator, but have the final application draw them on the fly via the drawing api. The only way I can think of is to create a pen tool/drawing application in flash first, and record as you draw.

I'm attempting to make a curve drawing tool a bit easier to use.Rather than drawing a basic curve and then clicking on the control point to change it, I would like the user to be able to click on the curve itself to change it, much as you do in the FlashIDE.So, given start and end points, and a point on the curve, how do you determine the control point for use with the MX API?(I googled this, but found mostly info on cubic rather than quadratic curves)

I was hoping someone could help me working out some advanced data reformatting. What I'm hoping for is a function where I can input a value along with an array of key positions like so:
function remap(percentage:Number, keypoints:Array) { ...
The array would start with the minimum and end with the maximum point, with nested key points along the way. For example, I would input something like remap(0.25, [0:0,80:50,100:100] ) and the function would 'imagine' a spline curve graph from (0,0)-(100,100) with a key point of (80,50), then return the y value that is 25% along that graph.

I need to implement a drag and drop functionality, where I can define and constraint the route of the draggable object.[URL].. only that i have the paths designed and not calculated by a math function. So, in fact, as mouse moves I need to tell the object to follow the custom path/movieclip.

Does anyone know a decent algorithm for drawing a anti-aliased (smooth) quadratic bezier curves in a raster?
I could simply draw them as vectors and then copy the image to a raster..
Is there any clever yet freely available algorithm to draw the curve directly to the pixels? I am currently using the algorithm implemented here:[URL].. I am doing this for learning purposes and because I am hoping it would be faster than using the copy pixels from a Shape option. Here is an example showing the none-smooth bezier is faster than the regular bezier:[URL]..

I am struggling with an issue where I want to create a function that draws an outline of any object and I want to use this outline as curve path so I can animate objects on this path using Tweener. Like that:
Code: Select allvar path = new Array();
path.push({x:300, y:0});
path.push({x:200, y:400});
[code].....

I try to calculate all the points on a curve.
The curve decided by the width(X on the picture) and height(Y on the picture) properties of a movieclip.The distance between each green point on curve is the same.

I have a world map on which I display some data. I read long and lat coordinates for two countries from an XML file which is updated with different coordinates everytime. I then map the coordinates to X-Y axis using some projection method.
So, I have x-y coordinates for two countries. I wanna draw a curved line between those countries but curveTo method draws the curve in one shot. I want to animate the curve drawing part so it looks like it is being drawn real time.

I'm trying to draw a curve based on 24 data points. I want to draw a curved line based on the average of these 24 points. I can draw a line from point to point no problem, but would like a smooth curve. The white dashed line is what I'm trying to achieve:

i'm a novice to ActionScript but from failed Google function searches, i think i've choosen an advanced i hope possible task: how to read then apply bezier, anchor point and handle positions to different anchor points. What i need to do is precisely align a rectangular closed bezier path with a randomly shaped closed bezier path, both with the same number of anchor points.

I need to position objects equally spaced, on the perimeter of a circle. Question is: How can i find the points on the circle based on the number of objects i need to position, and how can i translate these points into another movieclip's coordinates? i thought to make a loop, and for each object (based on it's index in the loop) create a line from the center of the circle with a degree of 360/loop length * object index, and find the point where this line crosses the circle's perimeter.
I dont know though, how to actually implement my idea, i dont know the whole 'finding points' area etc, and I am not at all sure that my idea is the most light and effective solution. This thing i'd like to do (i think) is quite a common task, if you want a circular menu, or whatever, but i havent found anything anywhere around that could shed some light...

Basically I'm using the curveTo function to draw some lines for flight paths, what I'm not sure how to do is dynamically finding the curve points, so for example if you look at the ryan air site: [URL]
current_line.graphics.curveTo(curveX, curveY, map.mouseX, map.mouseY);
I need to find the curveX and curveY

This is more of a question of logic than coding.. but here goes. I've got an array of points, and when plotted on a graph in flash it shows something like this:The blue points just highlight the points of each spike. While the red points are points I want to find.My question is, how do I find the red points on each spike?At first I tried sorting through the array for the highest points, but that didn't give me all the red points as some blue points are higher than the red points.Just by looking at the graph I can immediately see the points I need, but it's a bit harder to find those using code..

I have a curveTo an anchor point and a control point.Then I have a function that will return the x and y of a point along that curve if I give it a number as a percentage of the curve (0 to 1).It looks like this, and works perfectly..
Code:
function drawOnCurve( interval:Number, x0,y0,x1,y1,x2,y2)
{
interval = Math.max( Math.min( 1, interval ), 0 );[code]....
x0,y0 are the start point, x1,y1 the control point and x2,y2 the final anchor point.But... I want to give it a _y value instead of a percentage (interval) and it return where on the curve that would intersect.

I am trying to develop a Quadratic Bezier Curve using the graphics.curveTo() method. Initially when i drag mouse to draw the shape, i use start point and end point of mouse to draw the curve line. I assume control point at any position below or up to the line. An draw the curve using this control point. some what like:-
[Code]...
Now i add a tip on this curve segment. I have x and y position of tip. I want to change the curve segment by dragging tip. but now i don't have the exact control point according to tip position. If i use tip coordinate as control point it reduce the height of curve and now tip does not lie on the curve segment. What i have to do is calculate the exact control point on the basis of tip coordinate. But i failed to get this point.

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
