Vector Line Drawings?
Does anyone know where there might be some good places to learn how to do some scripted drawings using only lines. For example, if you wanted to draw a car begining with only one line and watch as the whole thing took shape, finally ending with the finshed car looking like a blueprint sketch.
Is there a place where they might have some tutorials for this sort of thing. I'm sure that I could make a movie where I just drew every part of the car but that wouldn't look all that great when finished so I wanted to know if there would be a good way, like scripted movement, to make the motion smooth.
Anyone know??

Vector Drawings--- AAAAAAAARRG
hello!
aah my second post... well I'm currently a Photoshop fan, and now I'm working on Flash. What I like to do is create a new layer over a picture of a drawing, trace over it, color it in and give it a background... So in Flash, I tried this, but whenever I go to use the paintbucket, it doesn't always fill... It's like I have to paint around the edges of the pencil in order to make it "fillable". help!! am I doing something wrong?? I'm new to flash and vectors, so i thought I'd ask, because sometimes it fills without any outlining, but other times you have to outline it with the paintbrush... help! thanks!

Reading Vector Drawings From Mysql
hi
im working in a project where i have a lot of .fla files with vector drawings inside of them,
what i supposed to do is to create a flash movie to show that drawings but i should protect them from being copied by bots or by users,
so my first idea is to save somehow the drawings into mysql (not as swf because a swf can be decompiled also not as regular image jpg,png,.. etc) and then read the mysql database using amfphp or something similar and send the data to the swf and recreate the image using bitmapdata, so i need to know how to save the drawings to mysql and how to recreate them in the swf.
If someone knows a better way to do all this please tell me
any help?

Anti-alias Problem With Vector Drawings
Hi,
I have a anti-alias problem with my flash file.
My SWF has a solid background-color (##00CCFF) and some vector drawings on it.
When I open it in flash player and zoom in, everything looks sharp, but when we use this SWF on a bluescreen (swapping the background-color with some video image), we see jagged edges around the vector drawings...
Does anyone know how to overcome / fix this problem?
Regards,
Vic.

Paint Bucket Won't Fill Line Drawings
I'm using flash 8.
After i finish using the line tool to draw an enclosed shape, the last last line i drew always remains selected and the Fill colour box in the properties panel always produces a red stroke through it indicating no fill colour is active.
If i select the fill tool at this point, the last line i drew still remains selected and the same red stroke is there and i can't get a colour to replace that red stroke.
In order to deselect the last line i drew, i have to go to the Select tool and then click somewhere on the stage outside the shape i've drawn. This then allows a fill colour to occupy the box in the properties panel - the red stroke is eliminated - hurray!
I then go back to the fill tool and with a fill colour selected i try to fill the object and nothing happens.
If i use any of the other drawing tools - oval, rectangle pencil, brush etc. firstly i don't have to deselect the shape i've drawn with them before going to the fill tool, and secondly they all fill with colour like clockwork, no problem.
I also have similar problem with stroke tool when used with line drawings, again no problem when used with drawings created by any of the other drawing tools.
Could anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? Much appreciation.

Move The End Of A Vector Line..WITH CODE?
hope someone cleverer than me can help me out with this little problem.
I have a little MC that moves around the stage, and i wanted to attach the end of a vector line to the MC..wherever it is on the stage. One end of the line needs to be static, and the other constantly moving (as if it were the string to a balloon, or a kite)
The MC moves around based on the user's interaction, and there fore i cannot simply animate the end point of the line, and would need to chart the center point of the MC, and attach the end of the vector line to it.
hope this makes sense. and hope that someone may be able to help me!
thanks

“ Vector Line Art “ Has Anyone Seen A Good Resource On The NET ?
Hi guys, I have been searching the NET for few days now, trying to find a resource that sells good quality “vector line art” for my next project. The only company who I found is Graphicscene.com, they are great, but don’t have a large verity of line art I’m looking for. So if anyone can suggest some other resources on the net where I can find such graphics in vector format, I would really appreciate it. Thanks ahead of time.

Overlapping Drawings
You know that when u do all the drawings in flash, if they overlap they'll "join" or erase each other. Is it possible to disable this as a whole? I know that you can transform into a symbol, group or place in a different layer but it's really quite troublesome. Thanks

Using Hittests With Api Drawings
I have got this for my line drawing:
var xx:Number;
var yy:Number;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("line", this.getNextHighestDepth());
line.lineStyle(1);
onMouseDown = function():Void{
line.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
};
onMouseUp = function():Void{
line.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
}
and for the gravity and bouncing (on my ball) i have got:
onClipEvent (load) {
ySpeed = -2;
gravity =5;
bounce = .9;
ground = 350;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_y<ground) {
ySpeed += gravity;
} else if (ySpeed>gravity*4) {
_y = ground;
ySpeed *= -bounce;
} else {
ySpeed = 0;
_y = ground;
}
_y += ySpeed;
if (hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
xSpeed = (_x-_root._xmouse)/2;
_y--;
ySpeed = (_y-_root._ymouse-_height)/1.5;
}
}
how would i make it so that if the ball hits the line i drew it will bounce up?

Saving Drawings
Hi All
I basic question here, I aint after any code I just need a point in the right direction.
So ultimately I want to create a simple drawing application. the twist is though I need to some way remember the drawing someone has done, like a save function.
Someone will draw a simple drawing and I want them to save the lines, so the can load the simple line drawing they do next time they come back.
Now is there a way I can record where the line is made on the stage by co-ordinates, or can i save a movieclip as a vector images (SVG i think) some how??
I have been searching for a while now, i have instructions on how to draw but not saving. any ideas/link would go down a treat
Thanks in advance

[Flash] Drawings
Hi there!
It's some time ago I make a question in this forum, but I guess it fits the topic quite well.
I was experimenting for some time now the posibilities of form tweening (even more after seeing some videos of the working by FI) and found that it gets innacurate when the vertex number varies between the start and the end of the tween. This is not a real problem if you work on modifications of the same form. Or that was what I guessed once. Next I noticed that when gaining in complexity, there appears extra vertexes "out of nowhere".
This is not desirable, as you can imagine... I wonder if there's a way to avoid this, appart from "keeping it simple", 'cos it's not allways possible, right?
//And if there's a "flash drawings" forum, I appologize for not noticing it

[f8] User-made Drawings And More
Hi,
I am new to scripting things in Flash, and I was wondering if I could have some help with a project. Essentially what I want to do is create a box that users can draw in, then save their image, and reflect it horizontally, vertically and both (so it creates a sort of mirrored symmetrical design in 4 attached quadrants). So, if that wasn't clear, the idea is for a person to just design 1 box, and then the others will produce themselves based on the user's original image.
I found a tutorial explianing how to make buttons for line thickness and different colors, but what I don't understand is how to be able to draw in only a specific area, and how to use that finished image to duplicate/reflect, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[MX04] Dynamically Created Textbox Won't Go To Next Line When Text Exceeds First Line

welc.font = "Sydnie";
welc.selectable = false;
welc.size = 12;
welc.color = 0xfffafa;
welc.multiline = true;
welcome.text ="Text that exceeds one line."
blackbox.welcome.setTextFormat(welc);
}
How do I make the textbox go to the next line when the first is full and not go beyond it's right border?

[F8]Text/Paragraph/String - Line By Line Write Effect
howdy - ive seen some nice text effects recently, and im looking for some resource on recreating them. Ideally im after a nice function / prototype for outputting a line of dynamic text, to a textfield in a nice way, rather than just dumping it on screen. So either letter by letter, or line by line, without having to do all the rubbish faux-effects by masking and tweening.
any ideas?

Reading Textfield Line By Line ? Selecting Multiple Textfields At Once ?
OK i need some serious help/advice !
I`m trying to make a sort of program like word , i want to have a text field , but the problem comes when i want to create like borders around each line of text and have DIFFERENT background colors for each line.
So i was thinking if i can read line by line and get get the height of each line by examining char by char for it's size and get the biggest one ( since my text may have different fonts sizes ect on a single line) and then have like BLOCKS that are behind each line and adjust their sizes accoring to the line size and change their color also.
Also another thing that I would also want to do , i want to create a table which i did , but now how do i put the table into my text ...and not just lie on top blocking text behind it ..how do i like "push" the text around it ?? ANY IDEAS would help...thats why i thought maybe create lots of textfields just stacked from top to bottom..but then i will have the problem of selecting them all at once like in a REAL word processing problem...and also if the text becomes too big it will need to "flow" into next textfield...
Is there ANYWAY to do this ??! HELP ME!!!!
THANK YOU

Multi-line Text Field Auto Line Break
When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?

Txt File Double Spacing Off Line, Single On Line
Has anyone else seen this?
When I'm setting up a .txt file for import (the swf is v5 code, authored in MX), I'm noticing that if the .txt file has a single line break between paragraphs, this represents as a single empty line when the swf file is viewed on-line, but it shows as a double blank line when the same file is opened off-line.
Does anyone know a trick to getting imported txt files to display the same way on- and off-line?
(Or am I going mad and no one else has noticed this...)

Flash Getting PHP To Feed It A Text File Line By Line
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I want Flash to access the text file, separated my newlines, that can get quite large. I want Flash to access each of those lines one by one and process them with Actionscript.
I am getting the idea that I should use PHP to open the text file and store the lines in an array. But how can I access each array element in Flash?
Does anyone have any suggestions about this? Have you seen where this has been done before?

Is It Possible To Get Data Printed To The Screen Line By Line As A Ping Does?
I have a Flash web app using AMFPHP remoting that calls a unix script that runs either a ping or a traceroute command based on some parameters I pass it.
The methods in my remoting method table for ping and traceroute are:
PHP Code:
function doLsPing($addr)
{
$ping = shell_exec("/path/to/my/pingScript.sh " . $addr);
return $ping;
}
function doLsTraceroute ($addr)
{
$traceroute = shell_exec("/path/to/my/tracerouteScript.sh " . $addr);
return $traceroute;
}
The unfortunate behavior I am getting is that the returns, naturally, just send me the completed data from the ping and traceroute in one big lump. Of course I would like to have the data returning to me line by line as the data is collected...like it would if you ran the script in a shell or terminal window.
You can see the danger in getting the one-big-lump-of-data scenario. If you ran a traceroute on an address that did not exist and say the traceroute did 30 hops then you could potentially be waiting a loooooooong time without anything printing to the screen. Plus the user, if familiar with ping and traceroute, would be expecting to see the results printing to the screen line by line as the command ran.
Now the caveat to this is, my PHP skills are nil to none, so maybe I am just missing something that I could use rather than just a 'return'.
Any help here would be most appreciated!

Reading Data From Text File Line By Line
I want to read some data from a text file into arrays.
In the text file, I have:
data = 1234567890
This works ok, but I want the text format in the text file to be:
data =
12345
67890
So after reading 'data', i will have 2 arrays.
[1,2,3,4,5] and [6,7,8,9,0]
Any idea how to go about doing this?
It will be even better if I dont need to use any variable.
Like this:
12345
67890
The main thing is just to read the text line by line and get them into arrays.
Thanks.

But now I can't Style it the same way with the setStyle methos
Currently I have one line is like this.
myNotes.text = "This is Line one<br>This is another Line<br>and another line";
