One way to do it is to create a new UIComponent and then call addChild
on it to add it to the display list:
public function drawSomething():void {
var circle:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
var xPos:Number = 100;
var yPos:Number = 100;
var radius:Number = 50;
circle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF8800);
circle.graphics.drawCircle(xPos, yPos, radius);
myPanel.addChild(circle);
}
You can also create a new sprite and add it to the rawChildren list for
a container:
public function drawSquare():void {
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
myPanel.rawChildren.addChild(s);
var g:Graphics = s.graphics;
g.clear();
g.lineStyle(1,0x33CCFF,1.0);
var fill:IFill = new SolidColor(0x9933CC,0.15);
g.moveTo(x,y);
fill.begin(g,new Rectangle(x,y,w,h));
g.lineTo(w,x);
g.lineTo(w,h);
g.lineTo(y,h);
g.lineTo(x,y);
fill.end(g);
}
