Re: [Flashcoders] Either an incredibly easy or incredibly difficult problem
Correct, its not possible unless you create a symbol for each point im afraid 2009/2/9 Anthony Pace anthony.p...@utoronto.ca That is exactly what I was going to say, and I have been trying to find something online; yet, I have found nothing, so I just assume its not possible to do it programatically, outside of the flash ide using jsfl. Now that I think of it, this could be somewhat useful.

You'll end up reading the coordinates from inside the Flash IDE or by using a tool like Swfmill, but just for sports, and with the limitation that it needs to be convex, this is the easiest way I can think of: Rotate it slowly. Use getRect to find out how far it extends towards, say, the right, at a given rotation. When that distance decreases, it's a point, and you can calculate its coordinate via the distance and rotation. Repeat until you've made a full turn. If it's not convex, I guess you'd need to trace it... Mark ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Either an incredibly easy or incredibly difficult problem
I'd probably just determine the points ahead of time and recreate it using AS... Most likely, that would be less time consuming. That's my answer if this is a practical question, if it's theoretical and you just want to know if it can be done, I'm sure it can, but I'm not totally sure which method to use to achieve the desired result. - Taka On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 11:56 AM, Mark Winterhalder mar...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 7:47 PM, Todd Kerpelman t...@kerp.net wrote: Hey, coders!
