Hello everybody i know some of my watcher were waiting for this, after two weeks working on it i finished it yesterday
I know this is not the best drawing application ever, but still my aim was to make something easy/friendly to use, this is why you can close/open the diffΓ©rent tool and drag and drop them to save more free space to draw
--------------------------
Please let me know if you try it, i'd like to see some drawing made with my flash software
if you have some question about it work, you can check the notice, click Help / Notice or ask me!
Have fun with it and have a good day all!

Its good, but I have a few suggestions to make it operate better.

When moving the mouse very quickly, the lines become jagged, I assume that you are relying on the frame rate in order to draw. If you are using action script 3, use the command "update after event". That way you can lower the frame rate of the movie (saving on CPU resources) and have much smoother lines as using this command does not rely on the frame rate to update.

The menu bar at the top is INCREADIBLY annoying for two reasons.

  • It doesn't cover the canvas when it is in focus, why does it need to draw back? Keep it there permanently because that sliding in and out thing is just needless pretty work and is useless. Make it static.
  • The menu items - the lists do appear as they should, but they stay there until you select an action within the list or click the menu item again, you should have some kind of mouse event applied where if the mouse strays outside the menu item or list, or when the user clicks outside the menu item or on another meny item, it disappears. The fact that it stays there is a little annoying and requires more clicks. Remember, the less clicks the user has to make, the better. Its HCI 101. I would also recommend the menu items change colour when they are clicked to show that they are in focus
  • The choice of tools is bout right for something like this, maybe add a selection tool or lasso tool in a future version, maybe a paint bucket as well to make it even better feature wise.

    Brush editor - great.
    Layer menu - confusing and counter-intuitive, swapping layers? No, the user should just be able to select a layer and draw because it get very frustrating very quickly.
    Colour picker - so so, maybe a colour wheel would be better.
    Current shape - useless, remove it and incorporate it into the brush editor.

    Right now its a straight 3 star because of the usability problems and the slow updating. But once you fix those, which is only about an afternoons work, it'll be 4 star worthy.

    Good work thus far e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Thumbs Up"/>

    thank you alot for your critic
    I knew it has alot to fix to make it work better as i did everything alone, that's probably my best flash work so far
    Anyway, i don't think that i will make the top menu static as if you let it up you can move the tools boxes closed under it and then get more space to draw, as i know some people like to have the drawing panel empty i would maybe just decrease the position of the panel then the tools boxes would fit perfectly under the menu!

    For the current shape i know it would looks better on the brushes editor box but that current shape box was the last thing i did, at first it wasn't planned, and i know this box looks sorta empty, so for a next update i would have two choice and i still don't know what one i want to choose, i could make a tiny box for it to fit well or as you suggested add it on the brushes editor box

    haha you're right, unfortunatly this is an old project and if i wanted to make a better version of it i would have to restart it all as i improved my coding skill since that work and i only can add more feature by doing it all over again
