How To Create A Dynamic Line (with Multiple Lines) Graph?
Hi,

I'm having a big problem here. My company wants me to produce a line graph consisting of multiple lines whose values are dynamically taken from the SQL server database.

I'm using ASP and MS SQL server.

Is there any ready made applets or any asp code or any idea that i can produce the graph?

Will deeply appreciate your help

Thanks!

Third Party Tool To Show Or Hide Panels In Flash
Hi, I used to have a program that did this function:

Panels like the actions or the timeline one could be hidden, and if
you moved the mouse to the edge of the screen, they would appear, it
also worked with Photoshop (i think).

I'm looking for it, I had it installed on my old computer, and I recently
changed to a new one, but sadly I don't remember the name of that
program.

thnks.

Simple Line Graph In Flash
Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestion on making a simple line graph in Flash.

I think 1000 data points, or in other words, 1000 points in the X axis is what I am shooting for. I was thinking about splitting that up into 500 and 500 so its more managable. The user would be able to switch between 1-500 and 501-1000.

The Data is read from a text file. I guess what I'm asking is the syntax and in some ways, just how to do it. A sample of the work I've doing is here:
http://mail.rochester.edu/~jy003i/ece/main.html

I am figuring that a line has to be drawn from point A to point B then to point C with the X, Y coordinates being specified from the file. As in, the Y value coming from the data file and the X position just being incremented....

Any suggestions? help!

Flash Drawing App - Line Tool
I have created a Flash drawing application that has a basic brush tool, that you can change sizes and colors for. Nothing fancy. I would like to add a line tool, simlilar to the one in Photoshop, that you can draw straight lines with. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for doing that? Thanks for any help you can give.

Possible Line Graph?
I wanted to try to have a graph with 4 user definable points. It would be for video game replay value, and would be first week, first month, 3 months, 6 months. Now I would theorize that you could make a pen tool, or some kind of segmented line where you could define the y position of the vertices in ActionScript, and the line would bend accordingly. Meaning if for first week it was a 9, then second week it was a 3, you could make those points move accordingly, and the line would stay connected. Any idea if something like that is possible? If not ill figure something else out, but id like to mess with that idea for my site.

Pretend Line Graph
Hi All!

I'm trying to animate a line in a graph. Its not a dynamic graph. I just want to show a line moving from the start point to the top of the graph but its not just a straight line.

How do I do this so it shows the progression of the line on a line graph?

I have Swish and Flash MX

Thanks a bunch!

Line Graph Tutorial

Simple Line Graph
I'm just trying to create a simple line graph in Flash that reads from an external .txt file but I am terrible at action scripting and have no idea where to start. How would I go about doing this?

Multiple Line Graph
First off, thanks to kglad for the line graph function I started with, it has been a huge help. Now the step I'm trying to take is 2 fold.

First, I'd like to graph more than one line segment on the graph. Right now I am graphing functions f1 and f2, but f2 currently overwrites f1. I want them to coincide so f1 goes from x=1 to x=15, f2 goes from x=15 to x=25, f3 goes from x=25 to x=10 at a different y (these are all curves), and finally f4 goes from x=10 to x=1 creating a closed shape. Also, I want the x values and the y values to be variable based on the temperature. I'm using PV=nRT and n, R, and T are all known. so I have something like P=nRT/V where P is y, V is X and the nRT can be calculated for two steps of the 4. The other two steps are adiabatic, so Q=0, I don't know yet how to fit the lines but i do know that y = a / (x^(5/3)) is a formula that works, I just need to find the proper a values for steps 2 and 4.

Part two of this issue is that currently the graph is drawing as the whole canvas, which is fine for testing until i get the multiple line part worked out; however I only want this to be 1/4 of the viewing area as I have other movie clips and such to put on this. A conceptual drawing of what I plan on making can be found at: http://www.students.bucknell.edu/gbement/Steps.html

I'm a novice to Actionscript and movie clips, I previously did everything with motion tweens and nothing was dynamic. I plan on creating the piston and molecule simulation in another movie clip, then I can vary the play speed relative to the hot and cold temperatures by looping the movieclip and having it play faster for a high T and slower for a low T.

Any help on any of my many issues would be greatly appreciated and the user will be recognized for their assistance in my research presentation :)

Scatter Graph And Best Fit Line
Hey everyone,

I've done repeated searches and I've posted over in the math forum to no avail.

I'm getting deperate witht his now, my problem is this;

I'm building a scatter graph and it's all working well, but now I need to build the 'best fit' line into it (Also known as the regression line, the average etc).

The line needs to be (I think) made up of the average of all the points, the only resources I've found are like the following :click:.

Please, please I do remember seeing actionscript implementations of this, but I really need this help.

Thanks.

Problems With Drawing A Line Graph
Hello!

Currently I'm trying to draw a line graph in my movie. I have 25 points; point1, point2, point3 etc etc.

At the moment I'm just giving each of them a static value, so all should be fine, except right now, one of the points isn't behaving like the other points. Firstly, here's the code:

Code:
for(i=1; i<=25; i++) {
_root["point"+i]._x = 505 - (9*i);
_root["point"+i]._y = 175;

}

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 0);
_root.line.lineStyle(2);

_root.line.moveTo(_root.point1._x, _root.point1._y);

for(i=2; i<=25; i++) {
_root.line.lineTo(_root["point"+i]._x, _root["point"+i]._y);
}

This should put each of the points on a straight horizontal line since _y is constant. However, one point doesn't behave as intended. While all the points are on the horizontal line, point9 is off the screen (to the top left corner), meaning the line drawn goes off to the corner, then back down to number 10 again.

The link to the small printscreen i took is here

I've tried deleting that point, and putting a new one, but the same thing happens. I've also tried deleting it completely, in which the result is then point9 going again to the corner, in addition to point17.

Each point are a copy of the original, so I have no idea how that could happen, please help.

Actionscript Line Graph Using Bezier Curves
I am trying to take a set of points that I am passing in via an xml file and plot them to a graph (easy enough). My problem that I am having is the ability to draw a line to each point and curve it using the curveTo() method.

My question is what kind of formula would give me a smooth curve no matter what data points I send to the app.

I have been looking for a week for code samples in actionscript and Java and have found nothing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Line Tool Problem
Hello all,
Its been a long while since i've been on here and i feel really stupid cos i'm having trouble with such a basic thing...

I often trace round things with the line tool:
Click drag realease to create the line, then press ctrl to get the pointer tool so i can curve the line to follow the picture i'm tracing.

The problem is that it has just started selecting the line once its been drawn, so that if you do switch to arrow tool, it moves the whole thing (instead of curving it)

So as soon as you let go of the line tool (ie as soon as the line is drawn) the line is selected with the blue "selected" box.
Its really annoying because i have to click outside each line before i can curve it.

For the years i have used flash its never done this before.
Any ideas?

Drawing Line Tool
Hi,

I'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.

The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.

Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this. I would very much appreciate any help, especially examples that I can learn from, expand on.

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,

saratogacoach

Thank you,

Re: My Line Tool Is Grouping
It is called Object Drawing Mode and can be turned off easily by clicking the ODM sub-selection
button when the line tool is selected.

Line Tool Still Snapping To Objects
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/DXcalibur/linetoolissues.jpg

It's been like this for a couple of days, I thought I could just restart the program and it would work, but apparently not. It still has that circle indicating it is snapping, but it does that to everything even when there is no line to snap to, its really jerky and I can't do anything so far.
Is there something wrong? What can I do to stop it?
