Making Lines Appear
Hello, I am new to the forum and flash.
I am trying to make a flash movie to embed on my website where words appear (like fading in) and then cracks appear in the words. I am familiar with motion in flash and I am pretty sure I can learn how to make the words appear (although any help is appreciated). However, I have been having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to make lines appear from no where. Please send me some help.
Thank You.

MAKING LINES NOT CONNECT?
..ok, i know this is no problem for u advanced flashers, so please please respond to this post. ok, heres my problem: all i want to make is a stick figure picking up a spraypaint can. so when i make him touch the ground, his arms have to go past his legs, but in the next keyframe when i want his hands to go back up to his waist, half his arm is connected to his leg...i hope guys understand what i mean =. so what i simply want is to make it not connect like that. i already un-checked the "Snap To Object" thing, or whatever...but its still snapping together. so please, any help on my stupid post would be greatly appreciated. thank you to all in advance.

Making Lines Bend
At http://www.heavy-rotation.net (the third box at the bottom) I saw the line dynamically formed between two points. I know how to do that, but how is the line bending when a circle is moved? Anyone...Anyone?

Making Lines Grow
I'm new to flash, and I've been working on a presentation for school. What I'm trying to do is make a line draw itself from one circle to another. I'm kinda stumped on what to do since I'm new to flash and I'm just learning as I go along.
All I can make the line do right now is a motion tween that moves a tiny line from one circle to another and then snap to the two circles, which looks really bad. I can't get it to grow from one circle to the next. I'm using Flash Pro 8 if that will make a difference.

_root.lines.attachmovie("Label","CLabel",1);
_root.lines.Clabel._x=200;
_root.lines.Clabel._y=200;
_root.lines.Clabel._width=1000;
_root.lines.Clabel._height=1000;
_root.lines.Clabel.text="Hello";
_root.lines.moveTo(50,115)
_root.lines.lineTo(700,115);
for(i=0;i<=15;i++)
{
drawX(100+i*40,115);
}
function drawX(x,y)
{
with (_root.lines) {
// _root.lines.lineStyle(constlinethickness, "0x"+_root.datacolor[curr],100);
_root.lines.lineStyle(3, "0x00FF00",100);
_root.lines.moveTo(x,y-10)
_root.lines.lineTo(x,y+10);
}
}
/*
with (_root.lines) {
// _root.lines.lineStyle(constlinethickness, "0x"+_root.datacolor[curr],100);
_root.lines.lineStyle(3, "0x000000",100);
*/
What I want is that it should only be visible in that layer.
Right now it is visible in all the layers
I am in Scene1->graph->Layer10
Please help

Making Odd Vibrating Lines Like Old Movie?
There's a fantastic Flash site that has this movie:
http://cmart.design.ru/desperanzza/index.html
Each of the little cameo pics have a curving line attached to it that vibrates much like a hair trapped in a film projector or lines in an OLD movie.
Surely, he didn't animate movie clips for the lines to vibrate and move like they do from scratch, did he?
Is there some trick or applet that will do that?
Thanks for any pointers! =)
Liam
GREAT Flash site, BTW, check it out! http://cmart.design.ru/

Making A Cascade Of Diagonal Lines
Okay. So, I'm not really a script guy, but I'm plugging along learning the tricks of the trade. I'm fairly comfortable with JS and getting there with AS, but I'm having some problems with the syntax in certain areas.
I need to create a set of diagonal lines for a piece of a design I'm working on right now.
To do this, I have tried using the following code for duplicating the original diagonal movie clip, entitled: 'diag":
// Duplicate Movie Code
onClipEvent (load) {
var oldY = this._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
amount = 47;
while(amount>0) {
duplicateMovieClip (_root.maincontent.diagonals, "diag" + i, i);
i = i + 1;
amount = amount-1;
oldY = oldY + 5;
}
}
I have done the math to figure how many times the diagonal needs to be duplicated, but I'm guessing that even THAT is a hack to some degree. How far off am I? Is this TOTALLY wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Greg Huntoon

Making Boxs And Lines Appear.. Masking, Tweening, Actionscript, Or All?
I am new to Flash and use Flash MX. I saw a site online that I really enjoyed and would like to make a similar one to it, though I'm not sure what is the best way to do it. The site is
http://www.morimotorestaurant.com/main.html I like how the lines and boxes appear and then the text. My question is, what is the best way to do this? I've seen lines and boxes appear and move around on a variety of flash sites, so HOW IS IT DONE? Is it better to create the entire document and have certain sections reveal with a mask or is it better to use tweening to make it look like the lines/boxes are getting longer/bigger? I have no idea. Any advice is really helpful! If you've done this sort of thing on your site, what was the best way for you?

How To Find Number Of Lines Of Dynamic Text...and How Many Lines In Textfield
is there any way of finding out how many characters will fit in a dynamic textfield?
I have a textfield that is dynamically loaded with text. Sometimes the text is long and i need scroll buttons, but when the text is short i would like not display the scroll buttons.
How can i figure out if text is short enough not to display the scroll buttons?
oh..to make it even more complicated; the font of the text is not always the same. I use textformatting to display header-like lines in the textfield.

Bad Images - Straight Lines Are Jagged Lines - Why?
Hello -
Wondering if anyone had a solution --- I have some images for a portfolio - almost all of them have a diagonal line that's supposed to look straight, and in flash it's looking jagged and wiggly.
I began with 300 dpi images - saved them to the proper size, no compression, saved PNG's, then imported to Flash with lossless (jpg,png) setting, created Graphic Symbol with all graphic information in the upper left quadrant, and it is in an even space on the stage (no 113.4, but 113.0)....
I did a lot of research to make sure I got the best quality images & have taken all of these steps and it's still coming out crappy....
Any ideas? Much appreciated...

Some Problems Drawing Lines Over Other Lines...
Hi.
I'm designing a character for a movie I'm gonna make, but I'm having some trouble. I recently decided to change the colors of the lines I used, so I switched them around a bit to match the fills but some of the lines I changed the color of now overlap the lines that are supposed to be in front. I tried to draw the 'good' color over them again but at the moment I release the button the lines I draw disappear again and the others overlap them. Any help? I'm using mx 2004.
Thanks in advance

Making A Grid And Making It Mask Images
Hey guys,
I have this code below and i am trying to make each of these movie clips dynamically mask an image. For some reason it still does not work. I can get the grid to come out correctly but the masking is suspect. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you
num=0;
for (i=0; i<12; i++){
for (j=0; j<45; j++){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("a"+num, num)
this.createEmptyMovieClip("b"+num, num+1)
//trace(num);
//trace("IMAGE DEPTH: " + this["b"+num].getDepth());
this["a"+num].attachMovie("thelinked", "thelinked2", num);
this["b"+num].attachMovie("thelinkedimage", "thelinkedimage2", num+1);
mc=this["a"+num]["thelinked2"];
image=this["b"+num]["thelinkedimage2"];
mc._x=i*12;
mc._y=j*12;
image._x=i*12;
image._y=j*12;
image.setMask(mc);
num++;
}
}

Lines, Lines, Lines...
okay ive kinda worked out what i gotta do, but am still having problems. all i want to do is to set the start and end points of a straight line to certain objects.
ive tried two ways.
dynamically creating a empty MC... and setting up the parameters from there .. eg..
Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( "myLine", 8 );
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
with ( _root.myLine ){
lineStyle( 0, 0x000000, 100 );
moveTo( _root.homeagain._x, _root.homeagain._y );
lineTo(_root.A01._x, _root.A01._y );
}
}
this does what i want, bar from two things. the line is not updated it merely replicates itself over and over, following "A01"'s position.
the second way i tried was pyhsically creating a MC of a line (0,0 to 100,100) then using attachMovie. this kinda worked but i can only get it working for a single line. i can make the amount i need using a for loop, but as the variables that im using are inside a function, i dont know how to refer to them with the new dynamically made lines.
also this method seems leave my lines not quite reaching their start and end points.
to be honest i really want to use the first way as it uses MX's drawing tools rather than using library elements.
all i need to do is to create 6 lines using the above code that all fix to one point, but the other ends attach to seperate objects.
i hope all this makes sense..
any guidance would be greatly appreciated..!!

Outside The Lines
If I have a tweened object that moves outside of the documents dimensions, is there a way for it to be viewed outside the document's boundaries in an html document? I am trying to get around the "cache" issue regarding frequent updates of the site. I have this page www.mbcc.net/newhome.html (how I want it to look) all in Flash. But I need to put all things that need to be updated weekly in html so frequent visitors won't have to clear their cache to view the updates. So, I want the sub menu that slides out from the side to be viewed outside the main menu's dimensions over the html text. Do-able? Or not?

hi, a while back somebody from flashkit helped me draw a line through two points for a project. so now i decide to come back and work on it a little more...
but the problem is that i need to extend the line, so that it starts on one point and passes through another point and keeps going...
here is the coding i have so far
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("Aline", 111);
_root.Aline.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF);
_root.Aline.moveTo(_root.pointA._x, _root.pointA._y);
_root.Aline.lineTo(_root.pointC._x, _root.pointC._y);

Help With A Few Lines Of AS
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone could take a look at this for me. (See attached) It is a mask effect that follows the mouse. I did not make the file, I got it from somewhere long ago. (Not sure where). Anyways, If I try to export the file using Flash 7 - AS 2.0 it won't work. If I export it as AS 1.0 it works so I am assuming the AS needs to be updated however I don't know how to do this.
There are only a few lines of code so I hope someone can take a look at it for me. I am using Flash MX 2004 Professional.
Thanks a lot and Happy Holidays!
Mark

hey,
I am currently using the lineto and curveto functions with flash.
What I need to know is, if I make a new line, how would I refer to it in code?
ActionScript Code:
this.onLoad = function(){
this.clear();
this.lineStyle (3, 0x003399, 100);
this.moveTo (100, 300);
this.curveTo(0, 0, 200, 200)
}
that's my code, now what I want to do is be able to make an if statement with it, so how would I call to it?
