Topic: Drawing a House With Only Action Script

Hey,

I've been trying to draw a house using only Action Script to create the lines, fills, etc. in Flash Mx 2004. I can't seem to get things in the right place. If anyone could help me figure this out please let me know.

Thank You.

at what point are you stuck exactly?

Yeah. And how detailed are you expecting it to be? (Like a kid's drawing that's mostly simple shapes, or like a detailed CAD rendering?) And - is there any user interaction? And does it have to draw as you watch (over time), or just appear?

No, the only thing that it has to be is basically a triangle with a square underneath it, and the door can/or can't be animated. It doesn't have to appear over time and it just has to be somewhat remotely "house-esque" looking. I've got a triangle and then I get stumped. It has to be like a child drawing at best, no cad stuff.

It just has to be in action script. I tried looking online for help, but I can't find anything on this.

Here's a link to a good tutorial.

Does that help?

i cant believe that if you got a triangle, then a square is a problem for you?

try this:

this.lineStyle(2, 0x0000FF, 100);

this.moveTo(100,300);

this.lineTo(100,200);

this.lineTo(200,200);

this.lineTo(200,300);

this.lineTo(100,300);



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

this.moveTo(80,220);

this.lineTo(150,150);

this.lineTo(220,220);

It's been a long road to the triangle, the square isn' THAT hard it's the placement of these things that is getting me. It seems like geometry hell.

Uncanny - Grumble, that looks JUST LIKE my house!

yes, and if we look real hard, then we can see Steve's Pyjamas in the laundry room.
