Dynamic curved landscape

[Nuggs]

Is there a way to make a dynamic landscape that is perfectly curved using sin waves? or do i need to create it with curve to?
either way please help.

I have 0 idea of what you're talking about.

Usually when you use AS to draw with curve to, you get points at connecting points on the line. If you use a sine wave, the curve is smooth, and has no points.

Flash doesn't have a sine wave tool. You can always line up two curves so they flow smoothly into each other, though.

By perfectly, do you mean vector-ly? I saw glaiel-gamer once post a application that graphed function, including trig ones.

I tried to replicate it but this is as far as I got:

var bitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(700, 400, true, 0xffffffff);
var image:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmap);
addChild(image);
image.x=0;
image.y+=200;
var pi2:Number=Math.PI*2
for(var i:int = 0; i < 700; i++) {
    bitmap.setPixel32(i,  (Math.sin(((pi2/100)*i)-(pi2/100))*100),0x88ff0000);
}

I forgot the actual specs of a trig function so you'll have to mess around for something more precise.
setpixel only allows integers, so I had to increase the amplitude.

Using the api is probably the best solution, so you can fill the segments that the pixels don't reach

You can do it with curve to if you're smart about where you place the control points. I guess it kinda depends on if you want a perfect sine wav for the landscape or some variation.

I did randomly generated terrain for P.I.C.O. 2 (and it's destroyable too!)
