Writing code in AS file : problem calling function

[manojo]

Hi,

in a .as file, I have written two different functions, that I call in my main movie. The first one always works, and the second one never...

Any reason? Do tell me if you need the code.

Thanks,
Manojo

Yes, we'll need to see your code...

ok here goes :
there are two functions.. one to draw a Rectangle and one for a circle
the one that works is drawRectangle

code:

---

// ActionScript Document

degTorad = function(angle){

	return angle/180 * Math.PI;

}



function drawCirle (radius,x,y) {



createEmptyMovieClip("circle",1);

circle.lineStyle(2,0xFF0000,100);

trace("hello");



var x1 = x;

var y1 = y;

var ctrlX = x+radius;

var ctrlY = y+radius;



x1 += radius;



circle.moveTo(x1,y1);



x1 -=radius;

y1 +=radius;

circle.curveTo(ctrlX,ctrlY,x1,y1);



ctrlX = x-radius;



x1-=radius;

y1-=radius;

circle.curveTo(ctrlX,ctrlY,x1,y1);

	

}





function drawRectangle (width,height,round,x,y,rotation){



createEmptyMovieClip("rectangle",1);

rectangle.lineStyle(2,0xFF0000,100);



var r = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(width/2,2)+Math.pow(height/2,2))

var r1 = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(width/2-round,2)+Math.pow(height/2,2));

var r2 = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(width/2,2)+Math.pow(height/2-round,2));



//calculation of important angles

var presAngle= (rotation == undefined) ? 0 : degTorad(rotation);

var alpha1 = Math.atan((height/2-round)/(width/2));

var alpha2 = Math.atan(height/width);

var alpha3 = Math.atan((height/2)/(width/2-round))



/**START HERE -- FIRST CURVE AND LINE**/

presAngle += alpha1;



var x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r2;

var y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r2;



rectangle.moveTo(x1,y1);

presAngle-=alpha1;

presAngle+=alpha2;

var ctrlX = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r;

var ctrlY = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r;



//drawing the curved line

presAngle -= alpha2;

presAngle += alpha3;

x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r1;

y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r1;

rectangle.curveTo(ctrlX,ctrlY,x1,y1);



//drawing line to next curve point

presAngle -= alpha3;

presAngle += Math.PI-alpha3;

x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r1;

y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r1;

rectangle.lineTo(x1,y1);





/** SECOND CURVE AND LINE **/

//curved line : again

presAngle += alpha3 - alpha2;

ctrlX = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r;

ctrlY = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r;



//drawing it

presAngle += alpha2-alpha1;

var x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r2;

var y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r2;

rectangle.curveTo(ctrlX,ctrlY,x1,y1);



//line to next point

presAngle -= (Math.PI -alpha1);

presAngle += (Math.PI +alpha1);

var x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r2;

var y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r2;

rectangle.lineTo(x1,y1);



/** THIRD CURVE AND LINE **/

//curved line 3

presAngle -= alpha1;

presAngle += alpha2;

ctrlX = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r;

ctrlY = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r;



//draw the curve

presAngle -= alpha2;

presAngle += alpha3;

x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r1;

y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r1;

rectangle.curveTo(ctrlX,ctrlY,x1,y1);



//drawing line to next curve point

presAngle -= alpha3;

presAngle += Math.PI-alpha3;

x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r1;

y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r1;

rectangle.lineTo(x1,y1);



/**FOURTH CURVE AND LINE**/

//curved line : again

presAngle += alpha3 - alpha2;

ctrlX = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r;

ctrlY = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r;



//drawing it

presAngle += alpha2-alpha1;

var x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r2;

var y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r2;

rectangle.curveTo(ctrlX,ctrlY,x1,y1);



//line to next point

presAngle -= (Math.PI -alpha1);

presAngle += (Math.PI +alpha1);

var x1 = x + Math.cos(presAngle)*r2;

var y1 = y + Math.sin(presAngle)*r2;

rectangle.lineTo(x1,y1);



}

Thanks for your help,

And how are you calling that code?

K.

[manojo]

here's what on the 1st frame of my move :

code:

---

#include "drawObjects.as"

drawRectangle(100,200,30,300,300);

drawCircle(20,100,100);

---

I tried inversing the order, doesn't work either.

thanks,
Manojo

Well, a couple of things I notice in your code - first, you have a typo in your circle function - drawCirle should be drawCircle

Secondly, both your circle and rectangle clips are being created at the same depth (1) - so only one or the other will exist at any given time...

Hi,

sorry for that.. I really should have checked the typo error. As for the levels, is that logical to what is possible when you draw these figures? -> indeed, you can have multiple MCs at the same level.

thanks,

Manojo

You can only have one movieclip per depth level...see:
