[flexcoders] Flattened Circles in the Drawing API

[doug31415]

Hi;

Ive been using the drawing api to create circles, but sometimes they 
come out flattened, as if the bottom or right edges were sliced off. 
Has anyone seen that? By the way, oddly, if I animate the scale up 
and down, it draws correctly. Below is the code I used:

// this extends UIComponent
public function CircleThing () 
 {
    super();
                        
    mouseChildren = false;
    buttonMode = true;
    base = new Sprite();
   // added djg 12/14
    baseOver = new Sprite();
                        
   label = new TextField();
   label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
   label.multiline = true;
   label.wordWrap = true;
   label.width = 108;
   label.x = -52;
            
   addChild(base);
   addChild(baseOver);
   addChild(label);
            
   addEventListeners();
            
}

// This function creates the blue circle
public function drawCircle(_name:String=null):void 
 {
    var myFilters:Array = [new DropShadowFilter
(5,135,0x000000,0.15,5,5)];
                        
    base.graphics.clear();
    base.graphics.beginFill(_color, .9);
    base.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, defaultDiameter/2);
    base.graphics.endFill();
    base.filters = myFilters;
                        
    // added djg draw overCircle
    baseOver.graphics.clear();
    baseOver.graphics.beginFill(_overColor, 1);
    baseOver.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, defaultDiameter/2);
    baseOver.graphics.endFill();
    baseOver.visible = false;
 }
