Possible?

[henkvg]

Hello

I found a site with a lot of examples: http://ps3.praystation.com/pound/v1/
Specially the one under
| Π1100 (2000)
Can someone give me hint how they did that and if something comparible is possible in KoolMoves
Regards
Henk

If I am looking at the right one, it is easy in KoolMoves. I would set tweens to 0. Draw a line, make a new key frame, draw another line, make a new key frame, and so on.

I tried that already, but if I do so I get an incredibly complicated file and rather chunky movement, if it 's the right movie we are talking about.
I can mail you the swf so you can take a look at it.
Thanks anyway

Send me the swf.

I looked at the swf. It looks like it is flash 4 action scripting. It uses duplicate movie clip to clone all the line segments.

Hello Bob,
I have been trying to duplicate it, but until now I haven't been very successfull.
Maybe a challenge for someone else ( Hilary, Johny)?
By the way: the KoolMoves board is very quiet, too quiet in my humble opinion.

Henk

Ok,
This one needs a lot of work... my 10 minutes was not enough time!

Too random:
Line gets smaller and smaller:
Bounding on edges not working

But hey, you get the idea!

Hello Hilary

That 's wonderful
Could it be possible to let it follow a described path, i.e. so you could build up a drawing with it? Probably not I guess.
On basis of your funfile I made example with masks to illustrate roughly what I mean: http://www.vgstudio.nl/km/draw.html
I noticed that the file is build up different in the browser than in the standalone player.

Thank you very much and regards
Henk

I mean in a controlled way, in the example the shape gets filled very random and you have to wait untill all is covered.

The original example you linked to was a random line drawing, so that is what I tried to copy.

My example picks a random point from the starting point and then rotates the line in that direction and positions the line. Problem is, the random function is too random!

If you wanted to draw a predefined path in Actionscript, I would think that all you would have to do is work out the points that make the drawing, in the order they are to be drawn (maybe in an array, or position an invisible movie clip at each point), and then duplicate the line along that path between the points.

If I get some time I will try it out....

A controlled drawing is probably easier to do with tweens :)

BTW,
Flash MX has new movie clip methods that allow you to do this easily with code.

moveTo
lineTo
curveTo

this might sound crazy.

but why don't just e-mail for the source files ?

Hee Hee... Hi Joshua

One of my hero's...

Any chance of the source files so we can all learn?

I just e-mailed you.

Many thanks again Joshua,
I have to get some shut eye now, but I will post revision to the code tomorrow.

Ok,
Here is the random version:

A download link for the fun file is included.

Thanks go to Joshua at http://www.Praystation.com for the original code.
