Re: [flexcoders] Re: Drwaing API inside an AS based component - not working

[Mark Wales]

I can't think of anything that wouldn't be acceptable using the default values. For example, visibility could be set to false, the alpha of either the UIComponent or the container it is within might be able to obscure its view, the x,y values might have pushed the visible portion of the UIComponent out or sight. If you want to post any code, I'm sure either myself or someone else could offer suggestions. -Mark leo4beer wrote: Well, seems like the test case work but not the actual feature. the component in which im using the drawing API is nested in another component (using createChildren), it works when it's on his own but not when inside the parent. any ideas? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "leo4beer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You were right, i did not set the line style.

When you say you are using the drawing API, I presume you are doing something like this: this.graphics.clear(); this.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000); this.graphics.drawRect(-25, -25, 50, 50); One thought is that you may not be setting the line color or line width. Is that a possibility? Make sure you have something equivalent to this: c.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xff0000); -Mark leo4beer wrote: Using the drawing API inside a component. Hi, I've made a custom component by extending the UIComponent class, in my component I've overridden the draw() method and used drawing API to draw a few lines. I've embedded my component in an MXML page but I don't see the lines…I must be doing something wrong, any ideas?
