Description
I finally decided to do a flash drawing program thing because people keep submitting them and only put in the smallest amount of scipting just to have drawing a line, so heres a full featured one complete with customisable polygons, fill modes, blend modes, even two filters and an undo function. Enjoy!---------------------------------
Click, drag, release for basic tools.
Shift makes ellipses into circles.
Holding Control makes the circle have its corner at the start position, instead of being centered there.
Try Control + Shift when drawing circles.
To use the polyline tool, click and drag, press Space to add a corner, release to draw.
The keys 3 to 9 determine the number of sides on the Polygon tool. Pressing 0 will increase the number by, so you can put as many as you want.
There are three modes: line&fill, line, fill
When drawing shapes, the main color is the Fill, the second color is the Line.
Blend Mode doesnt affect the Brush tool.
Alpha doesnt affect the Brush tool.
Ctrl-Z is undo. You can only Undo once. You can Undo the Undo.
You can also Undo by using the right-click menu.
You can right-click for some options.
Also the eraser actually WORKS, it doesnt just draw white lines like in other flash drawing apps I've seen.

i just get thrilled to bits with this... have you ever contemplated a gradient fill for this?

Didn't think of it at the time but it'd be really really easy to put in as it's already part of the drawing API.

Exactly. and that means there's more coloured fun to be had!

dude this is sweet!
can i just ask how you got the eraser to actualy erase pixels?

It's BitmapData so you just do setPixel32(x, y, 0x00000000) in a loop. Can also do it with copyPixels() and threshold() (which would be faster) but because in this anyone can choose a color to use, threshold() could cause problems.

So..when you want to erase something in BitmapData, you'd just have to use 32, and 00 for transparancy?

so, setPixel32(x, y, 0x00FFFFFF);?

Beautifully done psykopath...
Would I be able to embed this into my game?
Funn credit to you if you accept

Thanks.
The code for it is pretty messy, but it's also fairly basic; so I say just work at it and you'll get a better one yourself

Yep, can be done.
BitmapData.getPixels() to get the information into a ByteArray
BitmapData.setPixels() to load bitmap from ByteArray
Or you can obviously write your own encoder (eg, something slow like converting every pixel to RGB values and store as a string).
Google for: loading bitmapdata from bytearray

Wow. The one I made was just following a tutorial in my spare time. Yours blows mine out of the water and then slices it in half in midair with its teeth. Seriously, you just remade the flash drawing app, PERFECTLY, with flash. Awesome work.

None? Its like paint, it undoes once, then the next time it undoes the undo. So you can really only undo once.

I fail to understand your question

brilliant use of bitmap data and api, I've never seen a flash app thats this complex that doesn't lag like crazy. Good job! Fav'd

Thanks. It does lag some if you set the brush size to anything above, say, 50. But thats a fairly unlikely scenario for something like this.

Yeah...>_>. If you came up with a more efficient system, that would be pretty sick

I do have a more efficent way of doing it, but I was just a tad too lazy to implement it.

You've inspired me to make my own :3!
BITMAP DATA FOR THE MASSES!!!!

i have tried to make an eraser tool a while ago but failed. this is probably one of the best drawing apps made in flash i have seen, if not the best.

I been thinking on making online version of drawing program with good drawing possebilitys. But that is a lot of work... Stil it would be fun to have chat + photoshop thing where you can draw with other people
