simple drawing app...

you're welcome.

in the dragbar would look the best....

where do you want to display the name? in the dragbar above the rectangle? below the rectangle? elsewhere?

ok got it.....

all i need now is to display the name of the room

ive been trying this way....

with (this) {
clear();
lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
beginFill(0x3333ff, 100);
moveTo(startX, startY);
lineTo(_xmouse, startY);
lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
lineTo(startX, _ymouse);
lineTo(startX, startY);

lineStyle(10, 0x000000, 100);
this.createTextField("some box name", this.getDepth(), _root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,100,100);



thanks again.

hey kglad... im still a bit of a newbie with aciton script....

are you saying 3 rectangle movie clips... all the same size... r is the parent, with a dragable child rectangle... and another r child for resizing...?

so if you drag the drag / resize any of the r-child movie clips .... it will then drag / resize the main rectangle..?

thanks

you can create child movieclips of r (for example, r.createMovieClip("drag",rectangleNum++) ) within startDraw(), update their position in r.onMouseMove and assign handlers for resizing and dragging in startDraw().

usually the drag movieclip would be placed along the top of the rectangle and the resize movieclip would be placed at the lower right corner of the rectangle, but those are just convential placements. you can position them whereever suits your needs.

good stuff...thanks

im still a bit lost with adding mouse handlers for the recangle movieclip..?

how can i create a few movie clips for the same rectangle...

thanks

hey kglad....
i got something like this so far.....

still a bit stuck on drawing a recatangle that can be scalable by the user and can be draged around the screen...


will i have to keep on creating movie clips for every rectangle the user wants to create....

im trying to buld a simple room map app, where the user can draw a plan of a house.. each room will be a rectangle.


onMouseDown = function () {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("rectang", 1);
rectang.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
rectang.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);

};
onMouseMove = function () {
rectang.clear();
//draw rect here...
};
onMouseUp = function () {
};

you'll want to have a button that the user presses to indicate that they want to draw a rectangle. when that button is pressed define

1. an onMouseDown handler that calls initiates the creation of a movieclip to contain the drawing, the lineStyle and a moveTo(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse), and
2. an onMouseMove handler that clears the movieclip and contains a 4 lineTo() statements to draw the rectangle and
3. an onMouseUp handler that deletes the other handlers and itself.
