Thanks Begoner (and -liam-, for the info). I'm pretty sure I'll be using that at some point in the future.

if anyone could reply to this post, I'd appreciate it. A lot. Well, I am just testing my AS skills (which are really bad) doing an API game, but, for some reason my character wont move whenever I press the keys. Not even gravity will work. This is my code:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Base3", 15);
with (Base3) {
lineStyle(2, 0x07C73C, 100);
beginFill(0x07C73C, 100);
moveTo(300, 250);
lineTo(300, 400);
lineTo(400, 400);
lineTo(400, 250);
lineTo(300, 250);
endFill();
}

sorry for the double post, but for some reason the whole cody wasnt copied.

Should work, and I know this isn't API but there isn't a BitmapData thread yet.. so, BitmapData API code:

import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(550, 400);
_root.attachBitmap(bmp, 1);
curX=_xmouse, curY=_ymouse;
pos = 0;
onMouseDown = function () {
if (pos == 0) {
curX=_xmouse, curY=_ymouse;
pos = 1;
} else if (pos == 1) {
myX = Array();
myY = Array();
x1 = (_xmouse-curX)/1000;
y1 = (_ymouse-curY)/1000;
x2 = curX;
y2 = curY;
for (a=1; a<1001; a++) {
x2 += (x1);
y2 += (y1);
myX.push(x2);
myY.push(y2);
}
for (a=1; a<1001; a++) {
bmp.setPixel(myX[a-1], myY[a-1], 0);
}
pos = 0;
}
};

Click twice, first to set the start point and second for the end point.

hmm. Thanks liam, what is it that i should change in the code? the "moveChar" thing or something else?

The Base3 thing, change it to the instance of your character.

the instance name of my character is "hero" so the code should be this:

function moveChar(){
Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)?_x+=5:0;
Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)?_x-=5:0;
Key.isDown(Key.UP)?_y-=5:0;
Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)?_y+=5:0;
}
hero.onEnterFrame = moveChar;

shouldnt it? tell me if i did something wrong. But if it is that way, What it moves is the main stage... not the character. It moves the whole thing i have on stage. But the character.

function moveChar(){
Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)?hero._x+=5:0;
Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)?hero._x-=5:0;
Key.isDown(Key.UP)?hero._y-=5:0;
Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)?hero._y+=5:0;
}
hero.onEnterFrame = moveChar;

Bleh, that should work.

thanks liam. That code works great.

Ok, ive made a line called 'line', obviously;

So how do I remove it?

on (rollOver) {
_root.removeMovieClip("line", 10);
swapDepths(999);
}

ive added that to a button.

onMouseDown=function(){
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 10);
with(line){
/// bla bla/
}
}
And thats my code. Anything wrong with the button code? Why isnt it being deleted?

Try either:

Meh, some of mine worked aswell, maybe one :P But yeah, I guess typing _root.line.removeMovieClip() is way easier than trying all the options I gave you :D

Lol ive made a little API 3D maker thing. I think it rocks. :)

by the by whilst this is still relevant:

I keep getting silly people thinking API i just the dynamic drawing part of flash. It isnt. API stands for Application Program Interface. The best definition google came up with is:
-- A set of routines provided in libraries that extends a language's functionality.

Which means its not just drawing.

Thought I'd clear that up. This thread should be called AS:Drawing API

At 10/29/05 11:05 AM, Ninja-Chicken wrote: This thread should be called AS:Drawing API

I know, but I didn't when I started this thread.

Also we need a Bitmap API thread.. I'd do it but I'm not sure if I can be arsed :) If I do then I'm not going to explain all the Rectangle and Point and Transformation stuff.

I havnt learnt any of the new flash 8 gizmos so I hope someone makes a thread soon about them. And be very extensive

First person to make a decent thread about all that bitMap crap gets a cookie

Yeah, but its only like a triangle maker, im just working out how to move it around. :) Lol.

Im trying to assign the space bar to remove it (if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){_root.line.removeM
ovieClip(); }) but it doesnt seem to be working.

When thats fixed, ill show you the un-completed. Its NOTHING special, just my first ever API thing. :)

WHEEEEEEEEEE

Simple API % preloader with PLAY button. Gonna do one with graphics at some point, when I get round to it.

Bung this on first frame, WHAT HO!!!

stop();

cTF = new TextFormat();

bold = 1;

beginFill(0, 0);
lineTo(SW, 0);
lineTo(SW, SH);
lineTo(0, SH);
endFill();
}

var bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
var bytes_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();

it.pl.text = percent+"%";
it.pl.setTextFormat(cTF);

Wow, i never thought of using arrays like that.

Nice, it looks exactly like the NG tank but converted to vectors and optimized =P

Is it anyway to make the api box a button.
For example:
I got this simple API code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("b",1);
with(b){
lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
moveTo(10,10);
lineTo(100,10);
lineTo(100,30);
lineTo(10,30);
lineTo(10,10);
}
Can I make this a button instead of a MC?

You can have like
b.onPress = function(){
//do stuff
}

Sorry, if I was bumping the thread, but there's a way to do it in gradients too. The power of API is incredible as Denvish has shown with the NG tank and such. Here's a little gradient code for you.. API is kind of simple once you get the basic idea and a graphics designer edu cannot harm anyone, because a knowledge of colormaps and rgb's is a good value on this.

basic gradient code:

//The colors of the mc. I decided to use three shapes of green for this.
var aColors:Array = [0x669900, 0x66FF00, 0x669900];

// the Alphas as the value of visuality on the screen 0-100.
var aAlphas:Array = [50, 70, 50];

// Each three ratios for the colors 0-255.
var aRatios:Array = [40, 127.5, 255];

// basic matrix:box, x and y scale of position the gradient relative to the center of the clip
weight, height, radian level of the rotation.
var oMatrix:Object = {matrixType:"box", x: 10, y: 400, w: 100, h: 100, r:0};

// create the empty "virtual" movie clip.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcShape", this.getNextHighestDepth());

// Create the style for the outer line( thickness, color, alpha)
// There are plenty of other options for lineStyle including:pixelhinting, noscale,capsstyle etc..
mcShape.lineStyle(0, 0xFF0000, 100);

// Build a linear shape and then fetch the three wanted colors, Alphas for 'em and ratios and // the basic box matrix.
// It can be linear or radial
mcShape.beginGradientFill("linear", aColors, aAlphas, aRatios, oMatrix);

// a big box shape with three shades of green.
mcShape.lineTo(300, 0);
mcShape.lineTo(300, 300);
mcShape.lineTo(0, 300);
mcShape.lineTo(0, 0);

// end the fill
mcShape.endFill();

The code without explanation:
--------------------
var aColors:Array = [0x669900, 0x66FF00, 0x669900];
//var aAlphas:Array = [50, 70, 50];
var aRatios:Array = [40, 127.5, 255];
var oMatrix:Object = {matrixType:"box", x: 10, y: 400, w: 100, h: 100, r:0};
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcShape", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mcShape.lineStyle(0, 0xFF0000, 100);
mcShape.beginGradientFill("linear", aColors, aAlphas, aRatios, oMatrix);
mcShape.lineTo(300, 0);
mcShape.lineTo(300, 300);
mcShape.lineTo(0, 300);
mcShape.lineTo(0, 0);
mcShape.endFill();
----------------------------

Here's an another shape and this time it has a radial fill on it.
---------------------------
var aColors:Array = [0x999999, 0xCCCCCC, 0x999999];
var aAlphas:Array = [70, 100, 70];
var aRatios:Array = [60, 101.5, 255];
var oMatrix:Object = {matrixType:"box", x: 100, y: 100, w: 400, h: 200, r:0};
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcShape", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mcShape.lineStyle(0, 0xAAAAAA, 100);
mcShape.beginGradientFill("radial", aColors, aAlphas, aRatios, oMatrix);
mcShape.lineTo(100,200);
mcShape.lineTo(400, 200);
mcShape.lineTo(100, 400);
mcShape.lineTo(0, 400);
mcShape.endFill();
