I'm trying to create a postage stamp like border - which would look like a border of overlapping circles - and am having issues. I want a constant fill and line/stroke style for all elements of my border.
I was using degrafa to do this using circles and repeaters but couldn't get a single stroke around the edge of all the circles - so I thought I'd do it directly in AS3 to see if that was faster, however I have the following problems. First I tried doing it using circles, if I try setting the fill and line styles and then doing circles I get: - Blank gaps in the fill where the circles overlap - can I (and if so how do I tell it to) combine these circles into a single shape? - A border around each individual circle - rather than the shape as a whole. So I figured I was doing it wrong and took a look at curveTo() and drawPath() to try and draw a single object - but didn't have much luck with those either as I found it difficult to figure out how to use these for my desired result. The variables I'm working with is radius, circleOffset (the amount each circle is offset from the previous one), xCircles and yCircles (the calculated number of circles for the top & bottom and left & right respectively). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
