Drawing preloader line with AS?

Hello
I have the following AS (2) in a preloader (which works - in
the sense that it loads the next page):
The preloader should have a coloured line which runs from
left to right about 0.25px thick.
Whenever I have tried to draw the line using a pencil, it
appears too thick, or uneven, or even goes from right to left.
I have noticed that if I occasionally delete efforts I do not
like, even the next page fails to load.
What I am asking here is if it would be possible to draw the
line in AS?
Thanks for any useful advice.
Steve

Hello Devendran
Many thanks for your post.
So I would use something like:
lineStyle( 1, 0xBDA0F2, 100 );
moveTo( x1, y1 );
lineTo( x2,y2 );
But how would I incorporate that into my current Preloader AS
(2)?
Many thanks.
Steve

How to draw centre line with white background?

Hi,
I need to draw a centre line with white background on it. Now i'm doing it by pasting the main line in the background and giving it white so that it shows a white backgound. Is there a way to do just by drawing like normal lines. If we can, is it possible to control the white backgound only to show less than the original line in both ends. This is for illustrations i do for exploding views and i need to draw this line to show it as assembly drawing.
Thanks
Manoj

1. Draw a white line segment of desired width (stroke weight) with round cap (Stroke panel) for the background line.
2. Copy, Paste in Front
3. Change to desired foreground color, butt cap, reduce stroke weight.
4. Opt/Alt–drag foreground segment to overhang background segment by desired amount on both ends.
5. Select both segments and drag to Brushes panel, choose Art Brush.
6. In Art Brush Options choose Stretch Between Guides, drag guides somewhere to the inside of curve of round caps. (If in step 3 you chose black, set Colorization Method to Tints. Then you can select any color for the foreground segment by setting the stroke color.) Name the brush as you choose. Click OK.
7. Draw any path and apply the brush.

CS6 - Can't draw multiple lines with the same starting point consecutively without an extended pause between strokes. Ruins hatching and writing certain letters ("i" "E" etc.). Is this a normal limitation of flash?

Question is in the title. I animate in a traditional style (frame-by-frame) and draw a lot. When I animated in photoshop, the only annoyance was that the interface was terrible in terms of animation flexibility, but performed so much better in terms of actually drawing the frames. I invested in flash because I've heard that it really speeds up the animation workflow, but I'm getting quite irritated by this bug. I never read about it in reviews, and it's not something that I've gotten results for by googling, so I'd really like to know. Is this a normal issue in flash? Or is this something that I can fix? I've been trying to deal with it for a few weeks now but it's reaching a point where I just can't tolerate it anymore. I know I'm posting this in the CC community but I'd really really appreciate it if someone had a fix for this that I wasn't aware of, because otherwise I've wasted a lot of money.

How to draw and modify double lines with Adobe Illustrator?

I need tot draw roadmaps. This should be easy using the pen tool, but my problem is that I cannot find a way to draw double lines with this tool. I have seen many fancy border styles and patterns. Some do have double or even quadruple lines, but the problem is than that they have an offset from the vector line and the space in between the two lines (the edges of the road) cannot be filled. Somewere I also found some pens called 'Double line 1.1' to 'Double line 1.6' but they also had an offset from the vector and I could not chance the size of the lines and the interval in between them independently.
What I am looking for is a way to draw two lines in parallel and have the option tot fill the space in between with a color or even a pattern.
The color and size of the lines should be changeable to make a distinction between several types of road.
Is there an existing set of pencils for this purpose? It would be nice to be able to draw not only roads, but also railways and rivers!
I am surely not the first person who needs to do this?
I use AI version 6

Jacob,
Thanks for the answer. I have been searching for a solutions for a long
time, but today I found the solution on a forum (not on this one). That
solution is exactly as you described below, i.e. using a coloured line and a
narrower white line on top of the first one. My problem was that I did not
know how to create a custom brush based on the two lines. Now I know how to
do that. However, I still have the problem. I can now draw double lines and
I can change the color of the background line (the coloured one) but I
cannot change the white colour of the narrower line. I assume that I have to
completely redefine a new brush when I need to change that colour too.

Rob Kole

Draw line with Gradient

Hi,
I am trying to implement drawing on canvas with two colors, red and blue.
For example, to draw with the mouse "with two colors".
I do not need a filled rectangle.
I am looking into gradient but without any success.
Is there a better way to draw a line with two colors?
I also tried to use BasicStroke, but the line had an inner/outer strokes.
Please help with suggestions.

Line with a arrow

Hi All,
I want to draw multiple line with a arrow. Please guide me how can i do it by code dynamically. exactly as below.
Regards,
Kameshwaran A.

create an empty symbol
put this code in it.
//***** Set some opening parameters
onClipEvent (load) {
//Make original line invisible
_root.line._visible = 0;
//Initiate some variables
number_lines = 0;
line_active = 0;

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
//Get the position of the mouse
origin_x = _xmouse;
origin_y = _ymouse;
//Increase the number of lines by one
number_lines++;
//Generate a new line name
name = "line"+number_lines;
//Duplicate a new line
_root.line.duplicateMovieClip(name, number_lines);
//Position the line's end point at mouse position
_root[name]._x = origin_x;
_root[name]._y = origin_y;
//Update line length / orientation
_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse-origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse-origin_y;
//If this is the start of a new shape
if (!line_active)
//Set the line tracking variable
line_active = 1;
//Set the start point of the new shape
start_x = origin_x;
start_y = origin_y;
//***** Every time the mouse is moved
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
//If there's a line currently being drawn...
if (line_active)

_root[name]._xscale = _root._xmouse-origin_x;
_root[name]._yscale = _root._ymouse-origin_y;
updateAfterEvent();
//***** When a key is pressed
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//If it's the Enter key
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))
//Join the end point of this line...
//...to the start point of the first line in this shape
_root[name]._xscale = "";
_root[name]._yscale = "";
//Reset line-tracking variable
line_active = 0;
draw a line convert it to a symbol and give it an instance name of line.
and there you can draw lines.
detach the lines by pressing enter.
and thats it.
your welcome in advance (:
INPORTANT to leave all your symbols in the scene not in the libery are it will not work

Can Flash create dashed line with blunt not rounded dashes ?

Hi,
using Flash8
I can select line tool and dashed line in properties and draw a dashed line and get a line of sausages. How do I get a line of dashes without rounded ends to each dash ?
Line option has end caps option with None (gives straight or blunt tip to line, round gives rounded tip .
Draw a line with None and its got blunt ends, select it and choose dashed line option and it gets round ends to the dashes, the end cap option is greyed out !
Are dashed lines with blunt dashes now possible again with CS4, a forum poster also found that CS3 no longer gave blunt dashes ?
Why do I ask:-
I am trying to bring a map into Flash8 from Illustrator (Illus version 10 as it allows blunt tip lines to remain blunt it was said on the forum)... which has blunt ends to roads and has blunt type dashed lines. The roads remain blunt..GOOD !..but the dashed lines become what looks like a solid line. BAD !
I do a right click - break apart, then double click one of those now solid lines that should be dashed, and I am able to select a portion of the line, it is no longer a continual line as drawn in Illustrator. Properties shows it as solid line. Flash8 obviously having a problem with supporting Illustrator 10 dashed line then !
Select dashed in properties box and I get a portion of the line as sausage dashes, but working my way along the line doing each bit sees a far from correct dashed line result as sausages dont start stop evenly as each line is a separate entity and ignores the previous line.
Looks like I shall have to try and draw the line as one long line again in flash but unless I can give it blunt dashes when done, there is no point even trying that method, hence my question.
Would the latest Illustrator and Flash versions (CS4) allow blunt type dashed lines to appear in Flash ?
This is crucial for bringing maps into Flash.
Envirographics

I noticed one problem with my solution.
If you look, very carefully, at the end of the stream, it's flat. Not rounded like it should be. After a bit of trial and error, I tried a different brush:
Note that, in addition to the rounded rectangle (done with the new corner controls in the latest version of Illustrator CC that just came out) and the three circles, there is also a rectangle, with no stroke and no fill, to provide a space at the end of the three dots. Here is the result:

I can't draw straight lines for fill-in-the-blank on my tests and worksheets. The "draw it yourself choice makes big fat lines and takes a lot of manipulation. Do I have to draw them myself with a pen and a ruler?

I can't draw straight lines for fill-in-the-blank on tests and worksheets. The draw-it-yourself ooption gives me thick lines and is time-consuming. So, after all these years, do I have to go back to using a ruler and a pen?

In Pages v5.0.1, the straight lines are already drawn for you in the Shape Tool. Before we go there, select Menu > View > Show Ruler.
When you click on Shape in the Pages toolbar, the top left line is straight. Click it. It will drop into your document in a 45 degree angle. Grab the lower left selection grip and drag it up and to the right to position the horizontal line in the length of your choice. Use the Format: Style tab to manage the stroke weight. You can also choose Menu > Edit > Duplicate Selection (command+D) as a productivity tool.
If you move from the Format: Style tab to the Arrange tab, you can compare the start and end points with where you want the line positioned on the ruler. Once you have it positioned, notice the Lock button, also on the Format: Arrange tab.

How to draw a globe with lines of lattitude and longitude?

I'm using CS4 on a Mac.
Can anyone tell me how to draw a globe with a grid? I need 7 lines of latitude and 40 lines of longitude (i.e. separated by 9 degrees). I would like to have each segment of the grid defined as shape so I can fill each one with a different color.

Maybe this way can help.....
