Re: [flexcoders] Filled Polygon

[Adam Royle]

Hi Carolyn,

I would say that it's because you are calling

graphics.moveTo
and
graphics.beginFill

during your loop, whereas it should be graphics.lineTo

Change your logic so that you do this (pseudo-code):

clear
lineStyle

moveTo - (starting point)

beginFill

loop {
    lineTo - (each point)
}

moveTo - (optional end point)

endFill

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Adam

  Subject: [flexcoders] Filled Polygon


  Hello,

  For some reason I can not seem to get my polygon created by lineto to fill.

  The polygon gets drawn, but the fill never happens. Does anyone have any 
  suggestions?

  The code I am using is bellow:

  recColor = 0xFF0000;
  transp=0.5;
  var graphics:Graphics = recShape.graphics;
  graphics.clear();
  graphics.lineStyle(3,recColor,100);
  graphics.beginFill(recColor,transp);
  var lastPoint:Point = null;
  for(var i:int=1; i< points.length; i++){
  var p1:Point = new Point()
  p1.x = points[i-1].x;
  p1.y = points[i-1].y;
  var p2:Point = new Point();
  p2.x = points[i].x;
  p2.y = points[i].y;
  if (lastPoint == null){
  graphics.moveTo(p1.x,p1.y);
  graphics.beginFill(recColor,transp);
  }
  graphics.lineTo(p2.x, p2.y);
  lastPoint = p2;

  }
  graphics.endFill();

  Thanks!
