Flash :: Draw Box

[CS3, AS2] Draw()
Can someone help me out with this please?

I have a graphic symbol which is on first frame of "framefile.swf".

And, I have the below code on the first frame of my "main.swf"

Code:
stop();
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var newclip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("newclip", 1);
var empt = this.createEmptyMovieClip("empt", 2);

function bmpFunction() {
var bmpdata = new BitmapData(empt._width, empt._height, true, 0x00000000);
bmpdata.draw(empt.frame_tin);
newclip.attachBitmap(bmpdata,newclip.getNextHighestDepth());
newclip._x=500
}
var xxx = new MovieClipLoader();
var ddd = new Object();
xxx.addListener(ddd);
ddd.onLoadInit = function() {
bmpFunction();
};
xxx.loadClip("framefile.swf",empt);
Below is the screenshot of what i get in "main.swf" when its compiled. The image graphic on the left is the graphic which is there on the first frame of "framefile.swf" which appears fine as per the above code. But its the image that you see on the right that has a problem. Its not getting displayed fully. I am just trying to draw the same image again using bitmapdata.

How To Draw On JPG
Hello
I am totally new to flash actionscript. I have an image in jpg and it has some shapes ,say a ball. I want the user to be able to draw the ball over it. How can I do this in actionscript. I when I have selected a closed contour I want to tell an application running on another computer, probably on webserver that I have selected a particular shape like in this example a ball.

Is this possible in actionscript.

Thanks

Draw Functions
I've been working on a program which will need to have the user draw on the screen, so I've been working with MX draw functions. I'm having difficulty figuring out what the equation they use for the curve is. I've gathered that you give the end points, and that the anchor point determines the direction of the curve, but what exactly would the equation be, given these three points?
Also, I've noticed that when you are actually drawing with flash, it seems to work differently. When you draw a line, each vertice of the line seems to have a seperate anchor point. What is the equation they use for this, and how does it relate to the one used for the curveTo function?

Thanks for your time, any other details about the draw functions would also be appreciated.

Bug With Draw Commands?
I'm not sure if this is my video card driver or not.
So I could appreciate someone taking a look at this.
Just test the movie and see if the draw commands I'm using
creates the same bug I'm getting here.

The fla is a set of class routines for useing the movie clip
drawing commands. Seems when you use multiple beginFill()
and endFill() commands on the same clip odd things start to happen.

Thanks,

Draw Circle
Hy guys,

I'm still working on my paint-like program and its going pretty wel. Except when it comes to drawing cirkels. Flash came up with the most difficult way ever to draw a circle! What ever happened to just giving the coordinates of the bounding box of the oval? Or center point and radius for a perfect circle?

I've been working on this for three days now. With no result. I know there's a lot about it on the internet but I just can get it to work. Mostly because of the math.

I hate to ask but I've got no choice. Anyone up to creating this peace of code?

Here's what supposed to happen:

The user clicks on the button for drawing circles (I only need perfect circles so that should make it easier)
When he clicks on the stage, a circle should appear with the mouse position where the user clicked as center point and with the radius equal to the distance between the created center point and the current mouse position (I'm afraid this will need the Math.atan() and the Math.acos() functions). While the user drags, the circel should change size according to the mouse position. As the user releases the mousebutton, the current circle is drawn.

To give you a better idea, here's the code I used for drawing a squaire in the exact same way.

if (_global.action == 3) { // tells that user wants to draw a squaire
_root.xbegin = _root.xpos; //xpos & ypos contain the current mouse position. They are updated on every mousemove event
_root.ybegin = _root.ypos; //xbegin & ybegin are the coordinates where the user cliked (onMouseDown)
_root.draw = "rectangle";
onMouseMove = function () { //each time mouse moves, a new squaire is created
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(["clip"+i],i); //everytime user clicks : i++ to create overlapping MC's
_root["clip"+i].lineStyle(1,0xff0000,100);
GetPos.call(); //To get x & y position of the mouse --> then stored in xpos & ypos
_root["clip"+i].beginFill (0x0000ff)
_root["clip"+i].moveTo(_root.xbegin+11, _root.ybegin+10);
_root["clip"+i].lineTo(_root.xbegin+11, _root.ypos+10);
_root["clip"+i].lineTo(_root.xpos+11, _root.ypos+10);
_root["clip"+i].lineTo(_root.xpos+11, _root.ybegin+10);
_root["clip"+i].lineTo(_root.xbegin+11, _root.ybegin+10);
};
onMouseUp=function(){
if (_global.action == 3) {
loadVariablesNum("submitDisplay.cgi",0,"POST"); //send the data
onMouseMove=null; //stop drawing squaires
onMouseMove = function() {
GetPos.call(); //to restart mousetracking
};
}
}

What Tool Do You Use To Draw?
What tools do most of you usually use when drawing in Flash? Whenever I use the paintbrush, my line are a little jagged, not nice and smooth like on good animation sites such as homestarrunner.com.

Just wondering what tool is most used. Paintbrush or pencil? If paintbrush how did homestarrunner get their lines so smooth? And if pencil, do you use smooth or ink?

Or do you draw in Photoshop?!

Thanks a lot!

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

Draw Into Levels
This code is to create a vector item by code, then duplicate that item into different levels, and change its size and color. Can anyone see the problem in this code?

FRAME 1:
---------
orgnX = 150;
orgnY = 150;
shift = 25;
spacer = 50;
halt = 500;
offSet = 2;
var colors = new Array(0x5D0E01, 0xC53200, 0xFE6E0D, 0xFFA329, 0xFBC445);

var curve1 = new Array(orgnX-shift, orgnY+(shift*3), orgnX, orgnY+(shift*4));
var curve2 = new Array(orgnX+(shift*2), orgnY+(shift*7), orgnX, orgnY+(shift*8));
var curve3 = new Array(orgnX-(shift*2), orgnY+(shift*9), orgnX, orgnY+(shift*12));
var curve4 = new Array(curve3[0], curve3[1], curve2[2]+spacer, curve2[3]);
var curve5 = new Array(curve2[0]+spacer, curve2[1], curve2[2]+spacer, curve1[3]);
var curve6 = new Array(curve1[0]+shift, curve1[1]+shift, orgnX, orgnY);

_root.createEmptyMovieClip(holder,itt);

holder.lineStyle(0,0,0);
//begin fill

[F8] Need 'Reset Draw API' Help Please
I have a "marker" tool where the user can click it and then write on the stage. They can click it again and it turns it off and clears the lines made. I've also added the a/s to buttons so that when the user navigates through the application it will automatically clear the line and turn the "marker" to off until its activated again. It's working fine.

My question is:

Is there a way to globally set it so that upon any button being clicked it clears the line and turns the "marker" off? Because I'm starting to realize there are a lot of buttons that would need this code and it would take forever to add to them all. I was thinking maybe if the script could recognize anytime the playback head moved on the timeline it would clear the line and turn it off?

Here is the script:

// set the marker boolean value to false
var apiOn = true;
emptyMarker._visible = true;
crayon2._visible = false;

/*CRAYON A/S*/

var crayonActive = false;
crayon.onPress = function()
{
crayonActive = !crayonActive;
if (crayonActive)
{
// 1. SETTING THINGS
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
myColor = new Color(_root.crayon);
myColor.setRGB(0xE31836);

// 2. EVENTS IN _ROOT:
_root.onMouseDown = function()
{
line.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
line.lineStyle(3, 0xE31836, 100);
this.onMouseMove = function()
{
line.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
updateAfterEvent();
};
};
_root.onMouseUp = function()
{
this.onMouseMove = null;
};
}
else
{
_root.line.clear();
onMouseDown = null;

myColor = new Color(_root.crayon);
myColor.setRGB(0xA8D7EA);
}
}

Any help/thoughts would be much appreciated!
