Help with targeting in drawing app
Hello all. I need some help. I installed a flash drawing board on a site, and it all finally works pretty good. The source files are from f-mod.com, called “swfdraw2jpg”. It works great, and I modified the original file to make it look as I want it to on my site. Here’s the problem: I don’t want to continue to use the cline changer and color picker included with those files, i want to make simple color swatches, just a few select colors to choose from. All the most of the actionscript lives on a seperate .as file. I can’t seem to target the line to change the color. I have included the as below. The color picker also has a separate as. file. I just can’t fig out how to target the pencil_mc to manipulate it. Thanks for your help!
// this .as provide all the basic drawing functions, and the data encoding motor to php;
//define your own path, where you uploaded the files;
serverpath = “www.mysite.com”;
//if this key is pressed while pushing the “save button” , you will get php what the php file displays… make it blank to prevent this.
debugHotKey = “SPACE”;
//init arrays that define the draw : points, colors, and pencilwidth
mca.points = [];
mca.colors = [];
mca.pencilwidths = [];
pencilwidth =10;
pencilcolor = “foo”;
colorpalette.loadmovie(“web216.swf”);
// classic drawing tool using draw api
// ******************************
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“pencil_mc”,1);
// when mouse down
// init on mousemoove draw func
/*
about compressed data transmition to php :
*when we get values of more than 2 caracter, reduce them by letter coding
the points array update every mousemoove, while the color and width not.
so : point and color info is stocked in array only at each change like :
- number of values in points array_my new color value;
*then php will parse the data, reversing with the compression key;
see file "alphaencode.as "
