dynamic drawing 1

[law78]

Hi people,

I am not a genius when it comes to ActionScript but I trying to create a simple patterned background to my movie, basically just a series of evenly spaced digonal lines, similar to the ones found at

http://www.2advanced.com/

I have managed to create a diagonal line using the following code:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip( "diagonal", 1 );
with ( _root.diagonal )
{
lineStyle( 0, 0xff00ff, 100 );
moveTo( 0, 0 );
lineTo( 760,540 );
}

How do I reuse this code without copying and pasting it for each additional line (that would be a lot of code).

Basically need the lines to fill an area of 750 x 500 with a 0.5 pixel space between any ideas?

Thanks

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("diagonal", 1);
with (_root.diagonal) {
	for (var i = 0; i<200; i+=4) {
		lineStyle(.5, 0xff00ff, 100);
		moveTo(i, 0);
		lineTo(760+i, 540);
	}
}

Will do loads of lines by looping the drawing section - you can aler the values in the 'for' statement to get what you need but I think the 2Advanced stuff is actually done in Photoshop and imported as a bitmap.

thanks for that, I had done it with the imported image and will try it with the code
