Well, I finally figured out that createEmptyMovieClip() doesn't return
anything...so instead of:
var emptyClip = createEmptyMovieClip("rectangleInNode",
getNextHighestDepth());
emptyClip.beginFill(0xFFFFFF); //Currently harcoding a white fill...
...
I should have done:
createEmptyMovieClip("rectangleInNode", getNextHighestDepth());
rectangleInNode.beginFill(0xFFFFFF); //Currently harcoding a white
fill...
...
That solved my problem. It does draw a rectangle for me, so I'm not
sure why it doesn't fr you, Abdul. However, I appreciate the reply!!!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Drawing a rectangle in Flex
Hi,
It is working for me, however it doesn't draw a rectangle instead some
other shape.
I am using following code along with myClass.as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns="*"
creationComplete="foo.rectangle(100,100)">
<myClass id="foo"/>
</mx:Application>

Subject: [flexcoders] Drawing a rectangle in Flex
Hi,
I have the following method in a class that extends
mx.containers.Canvas. Shouldn't this work? I don't see any of the
lines...However, if I remove the "emptyClip" altogether, & just draw
directly on the Canvas of the local object, the lines appear. But I
want the rectangle to be an individual child of the myClass Canvas. Any
thoughts on where I'm goning wrong?
class myClass extends mx.containers.Canvas
{
...
/*
Draws a "hard-cornered" rectangle.
TODO: Add support for fill color.
*/
function rectangle (boxWidth:Number, boxHeight:Number):Void
{
var L_INDENT = 3;
var TOP_INDENT = 3;
var R_INDENT = 2;
var BOT_INDENT = 2;
var emptyClip = createEmptyMovieClip("rectangleInNode",
getNextHighestDepth());
emptyClip.beginFill(0xFFFFFF); //Currently harcoding a white
fill...
emptyClip.lineStyle (2, 0x000000);
emptyClip.moveTo(L_INDENT, TOP_INDENT);
emptyClip.lineTo(width - R_INDENT, TOP_INDENT);
emptyClip.lineTo(width - R_INDENT, height - BOT_INDENT);
emptyClip.lineTo(L_INDENT, boxHeight - BOT_INDENT);
emptyClip.lineTo(L_INDENT, TOP_INDENT);
emptyClip.endFill();
}
...
}
