Flex :: How To Rotate Drawn Rectangle
May 18, 2010I wrote the following code for drawing a rotate rectangle
var s:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
s.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x0000FF);
s.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 200, 200);
s.rotation = 30;

Where template is a canvas. Its rotate nicely but the problem is the position is not in right place. i.e. it is not in (50,50) after rotate.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Only First Drawn Rectangle Is Dragged All The Time
Jun 15, 2006The code below is used to create one rectangle at a time when a button pressed. But they are randomly placed on the screen. I was trying to drag each and place each rectangle in a desired location on screen. But when I drag a rectangle (startDrag) with MouseDown ONLY THE FIRST CREATED RECTANGLE IS MOVED AND NOT OTHER RECTANGLES.
var i = 0
function newRectangle(x1,y1){
var r:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("rectangles"+i, (i+2));

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Drawn Buttons - Adding New Rectangle On Stage
May 14, 2005I had to create dynamic with AS some rectangular on stage using moveTO and lineTo. I had a button and when I press it should add a new rectangle on stage but it doesn't. Because the array that I am storing the MovieClip created are overriding I guess
var i:Number =0;
button_name.onRelease = function() {
i++;
var instancename:String ="new_mc"+i;
var mcClip:MovieClip=createEmptyMovieClipinstancename,this.getNextHighestDepth);

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetMask - Make Rectangle Clip Visible Through Drawn Line?
Jun 17, 2010I've got a movieclip of a rectangle in my library which I place on stage to attachMovie. Then I create an empty movieclip which I want to use as a mask on that rectangle clip through setMask. Users kan draw into that empty movieclip. My intention is that only those areas of the rectangle clip become visible where the user is drawing a line. So I used this:
Actionscript Code:
_root.attachMovie("clip", "clip", 0);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
clip.setMask(line);_root.onMouseDown = function() {
line.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
line.lineStyle(10, 0x00FF00, 100);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
line.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
updateAfterEvent();};};
_root.onMouseUp = function() {
this.onMouseMove = null;};
But that doesn't work: both the line drawn and the rectangle clip become invisible. I know it works because without the setMask part the line is drawn. The other way around does work (line.setMask(clip)): the rectangle clip is now masking the drawn line so only the line becomes visible within the rectangle region. But I want it the other way around: the rectangle should become visible through the lines that are drawn!
Actionscript 3 :: Scrollbar With Sprite And Rectangle Won't Move Text, Just The Rectangle It's Painted On?
Mar 8, 2010For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

Jun 26, 2010I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?

Apr 9, 2011I want to use numbers I've drawn myself to represent a number, but don't know how to implement this. How would I display the equivalent of an integer with these numbers? If it's necessary to have them in a tile pattern, which makes sense to me considering how older games worked, then what code would I use to switch between each? Or is there another, better way? Also, I need the number to be able to adjust to the number of digits in the number and read from left to right (so the 1 in 10 would be in the same place as the 1 in 1).

View 4 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Finding Out Coordinates Of Drawn Objects In Flash?
Jan 6, 2010I'm in the process of making a board game in Flash; as part of process of getting fully to grips with Flash AS3.
I have a JPEG of the original board. This contains ~ 1000 circles that players may move pieces between. Pretty standard board-game stuff. The circles are not in any way regularly spaced.
So far, I've drawn the circles in Flash, by hand, and positioned them where they need to be. This looks great - I can see all my places.
What I want to do now is create these circles programatically. I want to be able to do this so I can adjust how the spaces look (depending on game state). Eventually I'll want to be able to zoom / pan the entire game board as well.
My question is, is there a way of tagging each circle with a unique reference and then looping through and recording locations?
I'm thinking something a bit like the Javascript DOM "getElementsByTagName" or similar.
At the moment I can only see two options:
Convert each circle to a symbol and give it a unique class name so I can access it from code Go through and write down the X/Y of each circle (add to my DB of board locations that I already have) so I can plot them programatically
Flash :: Collision Detection Between A MovieClip On The Timeline And One Drawn?
Jan 19, 2012I'm making a program that lets the user draw shapes on the screen with the mouse. When they're done they press a button to finish. The user is only allowed to draw on a certain area of the stage, to control this on the timeline i have a movie clip that takes up all the space the user isnt alowed to draw in.When the user presses the button i want the programe to check that the shape the user drew isnt touching the moiveclip. I want it to do this without taking the border of the movieclip into account so i cant use hitTestObject()

Actionscript 3 :: Positioning Flash Graphic Drawn With Graphics Class?
Mar 3, 2010I'm using Flash CS3 to build a simple drawing application. When the user clicks a button, they select a particular movieclip. After clicking elsewhere on the stage, the clip is instantiated and added to the stage at the position of the cursor. I've also added the option of being able to click on the added clip and drag it around on the screen. And this all works fine.
The problem is that I also want to be able to dynamically draw and add objects to the stage via the Graphics class. Whenever I add objects in this manner, their x and y coordinates are always 0,0 no matter where I place them on the stage. This makes positioning these graphics very very problematic. I created a modified positioning function specifically for these dynamically drawn graphics and while it does "work", it feels less responsive than the positioning for movieclip objects. I'm still trying to optimize this function, but it seems to me that the ideal solution is for the graphics to have non-zero coordinates when placed in the middle of the stage like movieclip objects. Is there some "workaround" to achieve this?
Flash :: Check Collision In A Drawn Curve / Instead Of Sprite's Bound Box?

View 1 RepliesFlash :: Gradient Fill Disappears When Drawn Outside Bounds Of Parent?
Nov 19, 2010I'm trying to draw a gradient in Flash using beginGradientFill and drawRect, but when the rect being drawn is partially outside the bounds of the parent, the gradient isn't drawn at all.
For example, consider the code below:
function testGradient():void {
var g:Graphics = container.graphics;
var width:Number = container.width;
var height:Number = container.height;
[Code] .....
When the rectangle being drawn lies within the bounds of container, everything works: However, if the rectangle lies outside of the bounds of the container, the gradient isn't drawn at all. For example, if the code is changed to:
...
var x:Number = 10;
var y:Number = 10;
...
Then the gradient disappears: Short of doing the math required to draw the box inside the bounds of the parent (and fixing up the gradient so it looks correct), is there any way to deal with this?
Actionscript 3 :: Rendering Flash Menu Over The Top Of Game Drawn With CopyPixels

Actionscript 3 :: Get Ending Point Of A Line Drawn With LineTo In Flash?
May 10, 2011I have drawn a series of lines using flash's graphics.lineTo command, and placed them in an array to be referenced later. Based on certain user interactions, the clips that hold these lines can be shifted to the right, causing the lines to move with them, no longer connecting to the point they originally connected to. So I need to extend the lines by the amount their parent clip was shifted (I've called this incVal). So what I need to do is find the point at which each of these lines ended at, and draw from that point to the left by incVal. How do I get that ending point of the line?
This is my code:
To draw line and add it both to the clip and to an array for future reference:
line.graphics.lineTo(localPoint.x,localPoint.y-10);
membersRef.addChild(line);
parallelArr.push(line);

Flash :: Flex Render Culling Objects Not In View To Stop Them Getting Drawn When Not Needed?
Oct 27, 2010Does anyone have any knowledge (preferably with links to make it official) about how/if Flash/Flex culls objects not in view, to stop them getting drawn when not needed? A specific cases: I have an 800x600 panel (a Canvas or Sprite, or other container) containing loads of Sprites representing individual game objects like asteroids or spaceships or missiles or map-tiles. The game world might be 5000x5000 so can I naively position Sprites anywhere in this range and let Flash cull them effectively? Or do I need to manage visibility somehow at a higher level (like manually removing them from the parent) to avoid performance issues?

1- Make each sprite a simple container to use graphics to draw a rectangle, that is, call a 'spriteInstance.graphics.' ,draw the rectangle and on each 'refresh', I do graphics.clear and redraw the rectangle but with the new size, this for each sprite.
or
2- Create each sprite with a border and on each refresh, resize it
Whats better?
