het guys,
any 1 know how 2 sript:
to draw a line ( 4 example ) frm point A to point B
and then code it such that the viewer can see the
line being drawn ?
thnx tons !!~~
i got the drawing part dwn, just need the recording part.
thnx 4 that ahmed. actually i was kinda lookin 4 more
of a hands-free situation.
so, when u test the movie, a line will start drawing until it
reaches its destination point.
i’ll check out the code in the meantime and c if i can extract
anythin frm it though.
nevermind what i wrote; i didnt check out the whole movie.
you could draw whatever you’re trying to have the movie draw, trace the array where the coordinates are logged, then have these pre-stored into the movie, and get the movie to draw the image 
thx 4 ur help, im quite new 2 as and it’d help me alot
if u can write what u just said for a simple 2 point straight line
script.
thnx
hog !!~~
MovieClip.prototype.createLine = function(x2, y2, speed) {
this.lineStyle(0, 0xFF0000, 100);
this.moveTo(0, 0);
speed = (speed <= 0 || speed == undefined) ? 1 : Math.round(speed);
this.xInc = x2/speed;
this.yInc = y2/speed;
this.currentX = 0;
this.currentY = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.currentX != x2) {
trace("draw:" + this.currentX);
this.currentX += this.xInc;
this.currentY += this.yInc;
this.lineTo(this.currentX, this.currentY);
} else {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
MovieClip.prototype.drawLine = function(lineName, x1, y1, x2, y2, speed) {
if (lineName != undefined && !this[lineName]) {
this.dep = (dep == undefined) ? 1 : dep + 1;
this.createEmptyMovieClip(lineName, dep);
this[lineName]._x = x1;
this[lineName]._y = y1;
this[lineName].createLine(x2 - x1, y2 - y1, speed);
}
};
_root.drawLine("line3", 50, 50, 0, 0, 200);
//speed = number of frames to draw line
edit: i had my random function in there for the color, oops. :beam:
lol thanks for helping him out norie, the drawer.fla file is pretty old, the code i had in there is pretty sloppy
thnx alot guys! much appreciated
