Sketchy

Time is tight what with the end of semester fast approaching, so here's another little experiment I whipped up back in the day. The gist of this program is that whenever the mouse button is down, Flash generates an empty movie clip which is then filled with a line created through Flash's built-in drawing API.

The main unique thing about this is that Flash grabs the endpoints of the line from the mouse and a tiny movie clip on the stage. Though this may not be too awfully different from your standard drawing program, this process could be animated easily. In fact, I have another version of this where the origin points move around randomly drawing lines between them. The effect is much like an old familiar Windows screensaver.

I probably will hold off on posts until after this Friday. This Friday is IUPUI's capstone night where I will be presenting my final senior project. If you're in the Indianapolis area, feel free to stop by and check out all the nifty New Media projects!
