Can anyone help with this drawing actionscript 2.0 ?Flash Actionscript ZoneHi can anyone help me?

 

I need to create an area on stage where the user can draw using the mouse. I found this action script 2.0 coding;

 

_root.CreateEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);

 

_root.OnMouseDown = function() {

myLine.MoveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);

myLine.LineStyle(2, 0xff0000, 100);

_root.OnMouseMove = function() {

   myLine.LineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);

}

}

 

_root.OnMouseUp = function() {

_root.OnMouseMove = noLine;

}

 

 

however this lets the user draw all over the stage and I need to restrict it within a certain area of the stage. I have tried masking, creating my own movie clips and trying to alter the code but I'm not too exerienced with this. Can anyone help me with any ideas please.

Your code drwas to _root which is the whole parent movieclip.To limit the drawing to a certain area, create a new movieclip with the size you need, call it drawpad for example. the you attach the mouse events to _root.drawpad instaed of _root.
