Thanks for thinking out loud :)
Can do that too if I need it. But if you ever write something generic
I'd love to use / see it because I don't have the time for this now.
Personally I wouldn't extend directly on shape but create some static
methods like
GraphicsInnerStroke.drawRect(myDispObj.graphics, linestyleObject, method
arguments );
Cheers,
Latcho
atm the best thing I can come up with is an object that can recreate the
draw methods, assuming that you want a stroke on it. If I am just going
to stick with drawRect, drawRoundRect, and drawRoundRectComplex I can do
that. Looking into 'drawing' an inner stroke when using lineTo curveTo
etc and other draw commands will take a bit more work and time.
I kind of feel like it might end up being InnerStroke extends Shape, and
creating public methods that are 'override's of the graphics drawing
api. Just thoughts out loud.

Hi Ktu,
Thanks for your supportive emails.
I'm not a newbie but I thought I might have missed something on the
API that wasn't apparent in the as3 docs.
It sucks to have it confirmed it isn't supported :)
The thing is I want to stay as close to the original api as possible
preferably without wrappers (we're not only talking about rects but
also curved shapes are possible you see...). Though I'd be happy to
see what you're take on it looks like :)
Thanks,
Latcho

know. I deal with this problem all the time.
For transparency, the beginFill(color:uint, alpha:Number); you
can specify alpha. With the system I have shown you, the stroke
would be transparent over top of the original color, so a red
square with a semi transparent blue border would produce purple
as your border.
If you want the stroke to be unaffected by the inside square it
wouldn't be that hard to write a class to handle that. In fact,
I use this so often I think I will do that.
I should be able to finish by Thursday at the latest and I'll
share when I'm done. If you are eager for it, the idea would be
to have build an object, that you would specify dimensions for,
and fill color and alpha, and also the border fill and alpha,
then when it draws the rectangle, it incorporates the stroke
width into consideration so that there are no graphics behind it.

nice and simple sollution,
but not so fine if you want the inner to be semi-transparent....
Other ideas ? So no API support on this ?

When I want inside borders I do this:
var spr:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(spr);
var g:Graphics = spr.graphics;
g.beginFill(0xFF45A3);
g.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
g.endFill();
drawInsideStroke(g, 0, 0, 100, 100, 1, 0x32010B);
function drawInsideStroke(graphics:Graphics, x:int, y:int,
width:int, height:int, thickness:int = 1, color:uint =
0x000000) {
graphics.endFill(); // for good measure, but maybe not?
graphics.beginFill(color);
graphics.drawRect(x, y, width, height);
graphics.drawRect( x + thickness, y + thickness, width -
(thickness * 2), height - (thickness * 2) );
graphics.endFill();
}
trace(spr.width,spr.height); // -> 110 110
trace(spr.getBounds(this)) // -> (x=-5, y=-5, w=110, h=110)

Hello,
Something i still can't solve is that when drawing for
example a rect in a Shape graphics object with a fat
lineStyle, the line drawn is always half it's
thicknes in
the inner part of the rect and half outside; This always
gives me headaches when aligning, measuring,
skinning or
bitmapping stuff since half the line is in the
negative x
/ y coordinate space of the shape..
I know that I can use the getBounds method to get me the
accurate negative x and y offset of the (line)
graphics,
but what I really want is to have the line beign drawn
totally within the rect. Is that possible by the default
graphics api ? Then please expand on my example.
Thanks.
Latcho.
var spr:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(spr);
var g:Graphics = spr.graphics;
g.lineStyle(10,0xff0000);
g.beginFill(0x0000ff);
g.drawRect(0,0,100,100);
g.endFill();
trace(spr.width,spr.height); // -> 110 110
trace(spr.getBounds(this)) // -> (x=-5, y=-5, w=110,
h=110)
