Flash :: Draw Outline

Draw Box Outline
I wanted to create a very simple quick animation.

A box outline will draw, then starting from the middle fill the box with the colour vertically (to top and bottom). A white box then draws at the top for the header and the logo fades in.

Then a few text effects with our products and services to be listed.

Does anyone know of a good tutorial to do something similar to this or broken up into it's areas? I have searched this site and googled but not had any luck finding something along the lines of what I need.

To draw the box I tried startng with a 1px x 1px line and stretching it then tween, but this doesn`t seem to tween.

Thanks folks

Animated Draw Outline...
Hi All,

I want to be able to animate the drawing of an outline of a plant (the image then fades in after the outline has been drawn).

I have seen this technique used a few times previously, but I haven't got the first clue how to reproduce this effect.

For an example, visit:

Flash Loaded Example

If you look at the the street lights at the top they draw the outline and then the image fades in.

Cheers

Carl

How Do I Draw/tween A Rectangle Outline With AS?
how would i write the code to draw/tween a 280 px wide X 180 px tall square with actionscript?. i would like to either a.) have the lines start in 2 opposite corners and draw "L" shapes to complete the rectangle shape; b.) Start in all four corners and just draw one side each c.) Start in one corner and draw the entire rectangle.

I want to be able to see the lines being drawn out...hence "tween"

TIA....

i should add...i have this script to create the rectangle:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.rectangle = function(w, h, x, y, stroke, fill) {
this.lineStyle(stroke.width, stroke.color, stroke._alpha);
this.beginFill(fill.color, fill._alpha);
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.lineTo(w, 0);
this.lineTo(w, h);
this.lineTo(0, h);
this.endFill();
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
};
var c = this.createEmptyMovieClip("c", 0);
var cstroke = {width:2, color:0xC9FFA6, _alpha:100};
var ccolor = {color:0x5A607E, _alpha:100};
c.rectangle(280, 180, 8, 10, cstroke, ccolor);
i would like to draw out the rectangle outline first... then fade in the fill color.....

I am trying to find a solution based on this thread on line animation and the advice to check out senocular's drawing class. but would appreciate if someone could offer a solution.... thaks

Dynamically Draw Out An Outline Of A Shape
drawing out line that will serve as a mask
im tryin to animate a drawing out of a line, but the line wont be an animation itself, itll be used as a mask that will reveal outline of a rectangle

i'm starting right now and im on this stage so far, the problem is i dont understand why this line is not drawing out horizontally, while it should

variables xpos and ypos are coordinates of the position i want to start drawing it from, xcor and ycor are the cooridnates that will be used to stop drawing once it reaches this point, then jump is how fast i want the line to draw(amount of pixels)
ps:the type is there because i will also make another case for vertical line

i know its not the most efficient way to do this, if anyone has better idea that will make the drawing out nicer and more dynamic i would be grateful. What im tryin to acheive is this simple effect you can see on some of the sites, where durin intro the outline of the rectangle is being drawn out. I cant point to any site at this time though, hope my explanation helps and thanks i advance to all of you that can help me

Code:
lineDraw = function(type, xpos, ypos, xcor, ycor, jump){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.temp.lineStyle(5, 0x003300,100);
if(type=="horizontal"){
temp.onEnterFrame=function(){
temp.moveTo(xpos, ypos);
this.x+=jump;
this.y+=0;
this.lineTo(this.x, this.y);
if(this.x==xpos && this.y==ypos){
delete(temp.onEnterFrame);
}

};
}
};

this.lineDraw("horizontal", 0, 100, 800, 100, 10);

Draw Outline Of Object Or Get Bezier Points
Hello people, 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:
var path = new Array();
path.push({x:300, y:0});
path.push({x:200, y:400});

Tweener.addTween(plane, {x:100, y:200, _bezier: path, time:3, transition: 'easeInOutSine', onUpdate: update});
But I want the control curve points to be dynamically taken by any display object's outline.. I tried drawing the object to a bitmap data and then use its pixels to draw the curve but I got no success..

So do you have any tips or ideas or even solutions how this thing can be made? Thank you in advance.

Can't Get Rid Of Outline
Anytime I draw a square, circle or even bring a .jpeg to the stage it only gives me the outline of the object. I don't have the outline button selected in the time line nor do I have any type of onion skinning selected. If I open previous projects this is not a problem but for some reason every time I create a new document this happens. I am using "flash cs".

If anyone can help that would be great

Following Outline Of Button
I cant get the job done,
i have a horizontal bar of buttons, when you rollover one of them his outlines wil change, BUT
when you go left with mouse the outline of the button must jump to ne next button

I tryed it with a drag action of a movieclip, and constrain to rectangle, it worked but the only problem then was that i cant stop the command to drag, from the moment you leave the bar with buttons, the mouse must show again and the movieclip that dragged must stop at the same place you leave the bar,

anybody know how to do the trick, or a site or a tutorial that looks like it or uses this effect

Thanks

How To Add Outline To Shape?
I sure hope someone can answer this one for me. It has me perplexed. Okay, when you draw a shape in Flash, let's say a circle, it draws a 'fill' and adds an 'outline' automatically. Now let's say I deleted the 'outline' part of it, and am left with just the 'fill'. Is there a way to add the 'outline' part back to the shape afterwards? I have a non-standard shape that I need to add an outline to, but can't seem to figure out how to do it...

Text With Outline- How?
Hi,

I'm sure this is a relatively straightforward question, but it's driving me mad!!

I am trying to create some text with an outline in flash. I can't seem to find anyway of doing this in flash! I've attached a copy of what I am trying to achieve. I have created this in photoshop, but I really want to try to avoid importing this into my flash movie, as this will make the movie too large and I think it might also be messing up part of the animation.

I hope this makes sense.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Carly

How Do You Tween An Outline?
This is kind of difficult to explain what i need to to do, so hopefully you'll understand.

I have a picture of a human body, and using the oinion skin i want to trace around it so i end up with a drawing of the body.

How do i make it so that the animation starts at the feet draws up the leg, around the body, down then up the arms, around the head etc and then all the way back to where where the line started.

When i try and draw around the body and use a shape tween it morphs from a little dot to a body, i would prefer it to look as it its drawing the body, not morphing into it.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Security Outline On IE...
Recently I have noticed that flash sites with IE are having a border around it. I have found this is a new security precaution by IE for active X components. I notice many flash sites I goto doesnt have this white border. Is there a way around it. If there is no way around, flash may have problems. Many "non-IT" people may not know to double-click on the flash object to get it to work. Does anyone have any knowledge of work arounds?

Grey Outline?
I have created a Flash MX movie and dropped it into HTML. On a few PCs (in Explorer) it has a grey outline around it, when the visitor rolls over the movie. How can I get rid of this? Better question yet: what is causing this?

Also, on the same computer, in this movie there is a special mouse cursor effect that does not show.

I work on a Mac (OSX, viewing it in FireFox) and it runs beautifully. Can anyone give me advice on these two problems?

Exporting An Outline
I made a small animation yesterday but in the end, I like the way it looks in its outline form better than when I can see all the images themselves!! Yes, sad, but true.

Does anyone know if it is possible to export in outline form? (Such as, you have a picture and you click on the small box in the layer that allows you to see only the outline or the 'negative' so to say of the image rather than the entire image itself). I tried several different ways of exporting but found no solution.

Thanks again in advance!!

Sincerely,

I want to know how to create the effect where you have an outline of a shape (resonably complex), and you make it appear to draw itself. I dont want to use frame by frame animation or a mask layer with frame by frame animation because this wont be as smooth and its more time consuming. Is it possible to achieve this with tweens? or even actionscript?
