Flash :: Drawing A Shape With Circles
Oct 22, 2011
The 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

I'm trying to draw two circles at random positions, and draw a line between those two circles - but flash doesn't seem to register the x|y coordinates of the circle in my code.How would I do this. Better yet, how would I do this so that if I were to drag one of the circles, the line would maintain the connection between those points? Here's my code:
var sw = stage.stageWidth;
var sh = stage.stageHeight;
var cr = 6; //circle radius

I have been working on a drawing "game" in my spare time (which is limited). This is probably a common question, if so I appologize. By the way, I do not have the code here, it is on my other computer. Anyway, I was using the lineTo method and a timer listener to fire the addition of each new line segment, if that makes sense. The problem is that when you try to draw an arc quickly, it looks terrible. It draws straight lines. I tried adjusting the timer, which helps a bit but still not great. I looked at the curveTo but could not figure out a logical way to get the achor coordinates. I did some research online and found some that use addChild with bitmaps. I would rather use lines. Has anyone tackled this before?

I've bee following this site for a long time, and now I finally got a question on my own.
I'm trying (by ActionScript) to make a bunch of small circles form a complex shape e.g. a star or a windmill.
I'm planning to draw on circle and draw it to bitmap date, but I don't know how to place a lot of circles in the shape of a complex shape (or how to transform them into another complex shape).

I'm trying to write something like this facebook app [URL] I've already written code to let user to move circles with mouse, but i've got a problem with lines connecting them- sometimes i see old ones, which should have been deleted already. I refresh all lines every time any circle is moved. Here is my code which draws lines

I need to use a Timer for time controlled animation, time the drawing to occur every 500 milliseconds & Draw 20 circles in total. I also need to make sure the circles are completely drawn inside the limits of the stage...
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
// creates a new hundred-second Timer, ticks every 250 milliseconds
var faster_minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(250, 6);
// designates listeners for the interval and completion events

I'm making an android air application for school, a sketch app.But I'm facing an annoying problem, when I'm drawing I can draw over my bar and my menu, here's some code:

--> so this is the function for drawing a shape on stage the shape is declared as
Actionscript Code:
public static var brushDraw:Shape = new Shape();
now the problem is that I can draw over my menu and everything. Putting the setChildIndex of brushDraw to 1 doesn't work, it gives some error...

how to randomly animate circles moving around inside a bigger circles? the small circles will have a collision effect on each other and on rollover of each individual circle, the name of it will come out in the bottom.. so the big circle will act as a wall preventing them from coming out..

Is it possible to draw a border around an arbitrary Shape (or Sprite) dynamically with ActionScript? From the IDE is really easy, just select the line color and click the Shape with the paint tool (S).

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"!

I'm trying to draw an image in actionscript, I set it as a BitmapFill within a rectangle. The problem is that if I move the rectangle away from the origin(0,0), in my case I start drawing the rectangle at (20,35), the bitmap background doesn't follow along. The background is always drawn at (0,0) and then repeated, so I don't get a centered image but rather 2 halved images. Here's what my code looks like:
public class PageTileRenderer extends VBox
{
private var sp:Shape;
[Code]....
how to move the background fill origin. Or is there another solution to draw the image centered.

I've found a similar thread to this but my problem's a little different.I've never used the drawing function on Flash and I followed the fairly simple tute on it just recently.Is there any way to confine the drawing area to a specific shape. Mine's a rectangluar shape that's rotated. You can download my FLA with the background image here > url...I'd like to try and keep it confined to the notepad area.I think it might be a hitTest thing with if/else. My other thing would be to just rotate the notepad so that it's straight.Even still i'd like it confined to the area beginning with the corner of the notepad, not the corner of my movie.

i have been tasked to create a rollover state that has dynamic irregular shapes that surround the movieclip target. The target is always a rectangle and the shapes will look roughly like:I think i will have to draw this old school without using the easy predfined shape classes. I first thought about doing two rounded rectangles to fake it, but the line cross over (pointing green arrow) will overlap. Anyone have ideas on how to approach this? If i go with the drawing api, is there a formula to working out the rounded curveTo angles on the corners to always be the same radius?

I have a movieclip that contains code for an API drawing shape. I can use it to mask a movieclip containing an image but not a moviclip that contains a dynamic gradient.
Code:

pill.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000,1);
pill.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000,1,false,"normal","round","round");

If I draw a rectangle or trapezium, how might I go about drawing bitmap data into that shape? I need to give a slight perspective to a loaded photo. Native 3D rotations seem to leave the bitmap really blurry, and a full 3D engine is too heavy for this project.

I drew a line (stepVoltage) in a fla using the graphics class. Once drawn, I want to move it to the right in an update function, but am having trouble. I tride just moving the line with statements like stepVoltage.x = newX; stepVoltage.y = newY; but this didnt work. Then I tried to delete the previous line and draw a new one with a clear () function (see below) but this blocked the next drawn line from showing up.
The code:
var stepVoltage:Shape = new Shape ();
stepVoltage.graphics.lineStyle(2,0x000000);
addChild (stepVoltage);

Here why do the circle added outside the square box?
