Hi all -
I've been doing due diligence to find an answer to this, as in I didn't come here first, but I'm not getting exactly how to apply visual coding to the mxml area.
For a quick example - I have a simple mxml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customState:StateDev
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:customStates="dev.state.*"
width="300"
height="100%"
creationComplete="drawContentArea();">
<mx:Panel id="panelOne" layout="absolute" width="100%" height="100%" title="My Panel" x="0" y="0"/>
</customState:StateDev>
easy enough. this can run fine alone but I just want to dynamically draw something on the stage.
so I figured I could attached a sprite and use the drawing api. like so:
package dev.state
{
import mx.containers.Canvas;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class StateDev extends Canvas
{
public var contentBg:Sprite;
public var panelOne:Panel;
public function StateDev()
{
super();
}
public function drawContentArea ():void
{
contentBg = new Sprite();
contentBg.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
contentBg.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 150, 400, 10, 10);
contentBg.graphics.endFill();
panelOne.addChild(contentBg);
}
}
}
obviously this isn't working. I get the errorr "TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent."
can someone clue me in? or just point me in the direction of where maybe I can find the answer online since my searching and reading hasn't seemed to solve it.
Thanks -
