ActionScript 2.0 :: Rendering A Dynamic Rectangle - Draw A Dashed Border?
Feb 1, 2004
Here's my latest attempt at rendering a dynamic rectange (w/ width, height, border_width, border_color & background_color) I'm trying to render a dashed border, and can't seem to get the code right...
I've reworked my logic about five times, and can get the dashes to render right (almost) but the fill color disappears. It's rendered using actionscript. You can see the issues if you change the border width... Anyone mind taking a look to see what I'm doing wrong? It seems like the moveTo function isn't behaving right when I get to the end of each line.

I'm trying to draw a filled rectangle with no border. Here's the code for my test project:
ActionScript Code:
myMC = this.createEmptyMovieClip("", this.getNexthighestDepth()-1);
myMC._x = 0;
[Code].....
If you take a look at the coordinates, this was suppose to draw a 180x22. Well, it looks lika it draws a 180x22 rectangle, but only if the zoom is at 100%. If I zoom in on the flash player, there are two problems:
1) the line, as it is scaled, goes over the shape edge. Basically, as the border line has 1 pixel, Flash starts do draw it half pixel up and half pixel left; 2) the rectangle is in fact a 179x21 pixels, instead of the 180x22.
I'm sending an example project on an attachment. In this example I have 2 vertical rectangles which act as buttons:
1) the first button draws the rectangle step-by-step;
2) the second button cycles through 3 different styles:
2.1) line with 1 pixel, normal border rescale. This is the style at start;
2.2) no line;
2.3) line with 1 pixel, no border rescale.
The background is a checker texture, with 1 pixel per square. This gives you a perfect look on how the line is drawn.
The drawing instructions are executed on the yellow movieclip, which serves as reference, considering that it has the desired dimensions (180x22). *
If you zoom a couple of times you'll be able to see the problems I'm experiencing.
All you have to do is to click the first vertical button several times to draw the lines, to press the second vertical button to reset the draw and to change the border style, and finally to look at the draw with some zoom in, in order to see it in detail.
So, what can I do in order to draw a perfect rectangle, meaning that the border will not go outside the shape (it would be nice that when the border is rescaled, it does it inside the boundaries of the shape) and the rectangle has right dimensions (why am I missing one pixel in each direction?).
* By the way, is there a way to draw in a movieclip using the lineTo in such a way that the drawing is on the topside instead of the bottomside? I had to make the yellow rectangle partially transparent in order to see my drawing.

How can I create a rounded rectangle with a dashed line? I've seen several routines that draw their own straight lines, but nothing for rounded rectangles.

As i understand, flash cant assign dashed or dotted linestyles. Ive googled it for a while and found 2 classes which actually draw dashed and dotted lines, but i can't manage to implement it with my drawing tool.

I am drawing a rectangle at 0,0 with a line-style-thickness of 4px. It has height 100% and width 50%. The right-hand edge has a border 4px wide, but all 3 other sides are only 2px, suggesting the mid-point of the edge is classed as the border. Why isn't the edge drawn 'inside' the rectangle?

I have a rectangle and I want to change its border colour on mouse over, I have found a way to make it work but that redraws the whole rectangle, i am wandering is it possible to only manipulate border colour without redrawing rectangle?
PHP Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;var rect:Shape = new Shape();rect.graphics.lineStyle(3, uint("0x666633"));
rect.graphics.beginFill(uint("231f1c"), 1);
rect.graphics.drawRect(0 , 0 , 60 ,10 );
rect.graphics.endFill();

I'm trying to write some ActionScript which will accept a mask and an image, then mask the image and put a border around the result (assuming that the mask is always 100% opaque).
For example, if my mask is a poorly drawn star, and my image is a bunch of flowers, I want the result to be a poorly drawn star with flowers inside it and a border around it. Something like this:

Let's assume I have an Image that's used a button. By default, the image has no border around it. Clicking on this Image will cause another component be displayed beneath it or next to it. When the second component is displayed, I want to draw a joined border around the Image and the second component.
The second component would not be visible by default. It would only be visible after clicking on the Image by using the popupManager, PopUpAnchor, setting the visible property, etc.
Example before clicking:
+--------------------------------+
| |
| XXX <-- My Image |
| XXX |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+--------------------------------+
Example after clicking:
+--------------------------------+
| +---+ |
| |XXX| <-- My Image |
| |XXX|_______________ |
| | | |
| | My Second | |
| | Component | |
| | | |
| | | |
| +-------------------+ |

In Flash CS4, when I draw a rectangle (or circle, or anything) with a color that has 0 alpha, nothing is drawn. Also, if I select a piece of drawing and change the color to 0 alpha, the drawing (e.g. rectangle) disappears!I know I can draw a non-transparent rectangle, convert it to movie clip and set the movie clip's alpha to 0, but I'd like to avoid this.

I'm learning ActionScript 3.0 and I made a small app to draw rectangles on stage. Now I want to drag&drop them around. I want to be able to click on an object, without triggering the stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickEvent); but when I click on an object, it also triggers that event. How can I save the click on object from triggering that event on stage?
Here's the code:
Main.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
public class main extends Sprite {
var startX, startY, endX, endY: Number;
function main() {

I can't post images yet: [URL]. Using Actionscript 3 I'm drawing multiple Shapes onto a MovieClip [top drawing]. The end result I need is the bottom drawing. I originally thought it would be simple to just merge the shapes and then find a way to draw a border around the end result but I can't seem to find any way of doing this. Is this possible or is there a better way of trying to do this?

Is there a way to easily specify on which sides a border is drawn for Flex 4's Spark BorderContainer?[URL]But that uses MX styling which seems like a hack. Is there a better or 'correct' way without having to build a skin? It seems incredibly silly to build a skin for a 'Bordered' component when this is a very common use case.

I have been doing much research on this - including creating a custom skin but cannot seem to be able to do it. I just want to have one border around both the checkbox and label. I also want a background color which I did manage to via opaqueBackground property (setting it via AS3). Just can't seem to find the key to have a border as well.
