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

How do you dynamic outline effects on objects in Flash CS3.
I want to do the outline effect exactly like this example.

Also in that example, they have a neat little text effect, how would you do that?? I imagine it is not that much different than the text effect. Is there a name for that kind of effect???

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYONES HELP, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!

How Do You Make An Animated Outline Of An Object?
Hi, I am working on a logo and I want to have it look like someone drew it by hand and then filled it in. I have a background image set up and two other layers...one just the outline of the logo and one that is filled in. I want to make the outline layer look like it is being draw by a hand (like an animated sweep transition from left to right). I have seen this effect before...how is it achieved? Thanks in advance!

Help With LineTo Command, How Do I Make Rectangle Larger Than Stage Size?
Hi, ive created a tiling background using

Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
But i want the background to be larger than the stage size but i just cant get it right, there is still one point which just wont move, Im new to the lineTo command but ive got this so far

Code:
this.lineTo(800, -200);
this.lineTo(800, 600);
this.lineTo(-300, 600);
this.lineTo(-300, -300);
can anyone help me understand how to just create it so the rectangle goes larger than the stage and which ponts correspond to where?

Geom.Rectangle ... Can A Rectangle Be Added As A Child
I'm thinking no because I can't get

Code:
var rect1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(rx, ry, rwidth, rheight);
this.mcParent.addChild(rect1);
or

Code:
mcParent.rect1 = new Rectangle(rx, ry, rwidth, rheight);
to work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong though.

(I'd just like rect1 to scale with mcParent, and it'd be so much easier if one was inside the other.)

Using GetBounds On A Rotated Rectangle To Get Rectangle Size
Hi!

I'm not really much of a trig guy, so I need some assistance from the pros out there. My issue is that we're dragging rectangles to the stage and resizing them on the fly. I don't want to have to manually input any code, so I'm trying to automate putting the rectangles into a physics engine. APE requires width, height, rotation, etc for the rectangles.

My issue is getting the real size of the rectangle and not just the bounds. I can detect the rotation (Sprite.rotation), and I can detect the bounds using getBounds, but how can I translate this into the real width and height of the rotated rectangle?

I really appreciate the help!

Thanks!

Can't Turn Off "rectangle Corner Radius" When Using Rectangle Tool
At first I thought having a "rectangle corner radius" option in Flash CS3 was cool, until I couldn't turn it off.

It doesn't matter if I
1) Reset to 0
2) Click the Lock Button
3) Turn Scale to none

When I drag to create a rectangle, Flash automatically creates a corner radias in the minus's such as -51 -51 -51 -51 as you can see below. It was set to 0 0 0 0 and locked but as soon as I drag the corner radias will continue until its maxed out.

Please Help

Odd Outline
ok, so I made a flash banner for my forum and I put it up. The problem is that the flash shows a black outline around it, I don't want that. I have never had this problem before, I am not sure what I did wrong. Any ideas?

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

Thanks

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

Add Outline To Shape
Say i have a shape made or some text that are now shapes, and I would like to add an outline to it. How can I add an outline without creating a new shape or manually tracing it? (preferably it will automaticly trace the shape and apply the outline)

thanks,

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 Outline
I have searched and searched and have not found "This is how it is done".

I want to draw an outline of a bitmap before the bitmap appears and then fill in the bitmap.

Example site - http://www.spcan.com/main.html

I have seen to possible ways of doing this but now one really knows.

1. draw the line and then reveal it via a mask

2. draw it via the drawing API.

A tutorial would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

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?

Thanks... Bubba

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?

Grey Outline
Okay, this may be the dumbest question I've asked.

I've published my .swf and my html files to my file manager. Now when you go to the website there is a grey outline and you have to click the screen to get rid of it. Why is it there?

It is not present when just pulling up the site with the .swf.

Thanks!

[CS3] Photo Outline Help
Hi,

I am editing this template : http://www.templatemonster.com/flash...tes/18584.html and need some help changing the colour of the border around the photos when you move the mouse over the image. It's currently green and I need to change it to grey.

Have checked the images in Photoshop but they have no border so it must have been done inside Flash.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks in advance.

Fill And Outline
hi,

is it possible to modify the values of Fill and Outline of the Shapes thru scripts.

The shapes are drawn at authoring time. i want to modify the thickness, color of the fill and outline of these shape movieclips.

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!!
