Hi everyone,
I’m using Flash MX 2004, and a real beginner - sorry.
I have a project that requires drawing a line on a map based on miles traveled. The line needs to follow highways/roads etc. The distance is stored in a database, and I can pass the value to the Flash file. I just need the appropriate length of line displayed.
My question is how can I display a portion of the based on the miles. I’ve thought of using masks, but the line needs to curve around and I have a number of these to do, so the more automated the better. I also though that maybe if there was a way to create the line with hundreds of points and then display each segment as necessary, but that seems to have an array of problems associated with it (creating all the segments, displaying the segments in the right order, etc).
Your thoughts/comments would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Trevor
