I've been playing around with the drawing API in Flex 2, and managed to draw a shape without too much bother, using the Graphics property of the UIComponent object. The problem arises when I try to then animate this shape using the Resize class. For some reason, only the container holding the shape resizes, but the shape itself isn't affected at all. If I draw my shape in a Sprite object, rather than a UIComponent, I get a nasty runtime error in my browser, as you can't resize a Sprite.
Here's some code: // create container for graphic var _nuComp:UIComponent = new UIComponent(); var cBase:int = 300; var cWidth:int = 80; var color:unit = 0x666666; // set colours _nuComp.graphics.lineStyle(2,color,100); _nuComp.graphics.beginFill(color,1); // draw ellipse _nuComp.graphics.drawEllipse(0+1,_cBase-(_ellipseHeight/2)-1,cWidth- 2,_ellipseHeight-2); // draw lines _nuComp.graphics.moveTo(0+1,_cBase); _nuComp.graphics.lineTo(0+1,_cBase); _nuComp.graphics.lineTo(cWidth-1,_cBase); _nuComp.graphics.lineTo(cWidth-1,_cBase); _nuComp.graphics.lineTo(0+1,_cBase); _nuComp.graphics.endFill(); // add comp to stage addChild(_nuComp); // do resize effect var tweenChild:Resize = new Resize(); tweenChild.heightBy = 1000; tweenChild.duration = 3000; tweenChild.target = _nuComp; tweenChild.play(); This is a key part to the development of an illustrative component I'm trying to build. There must be some way of doing this, I just haven't got a clue! I've search LiveDocs and countless forums with no joy. If any one has any pointers, please shout!
