I have created a basic Paint program using MAcromedia Flash 8, but it paints on my other movieclips. What is the function for it not to draw on it.


I'm using booleans to see if paint = true/false.

Example of what I'm using

mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
	if(paint) {
		board_mc.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
		updateAfterEvent();
	}
};

The swf of this is located here http://www.deviantar.../view/31524959/

this.createEmptyMovieClip("board_mc", 999);

How do i set dimmensions.

I did have

board_mc.width = 550;
board_mc.height = 320;

but didn't do nothing

you probably need to change your painting script to paint on that movie...
_root.yournewmc.blahblahblah....

can i send you my .fla of it and you can tell me what needs to be done?

[funkysoul]

you can also put this line of code on the onMouseDown function after the updateAfterEvent

	if(_ymouse >300){
		isDrawing = false;
	}

But the fla that I sent you works much better...
