property

stroke:IStroke

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The stroke used by this element.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the propertyChange event.

Method Detail

beginDraw

()

method

protected function beginDraw(g:Graphics):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Set up the drawing for this element. This is the first of three steps taken during the drawing process. In this step, the stroke properties are applied.

Parameters

g:Graphics — The graphic element to draw.

draw

()

method

protected function draw(g:Graphics):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Draw the element. This is the second of three steps taken during the drawing process. Override this method to implement your drawing. The stroke (and fill, if applicable) have been set in the beginDraw() method. Your override should only contain calls to drawing methods such as moveTo(), curveTo(), and drawRect().

Parameters

g:Graphics — The graphic element to draw.

endDraw

()

method

protected function endDraw(g:Graphics):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Finalize drawing for this element. This is the final of the three steps taken during the drawing process. In this step, fills are closed.

Parameters

g:Graphics — The graphics element to finish drawing.

updateDisplayList

()

method

override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Draws the element and/or sizes and positions its content. This is an advanced method that you might override when creating a subclass of GraphicElement.

You do not call this method directly. Flex calls the updateDisplayList() method when the component is added to an IGraphicElementContainer container such as Group using the addElement() method, and when the element's invalidateDisplayList() method is called.

This method is where you would do programmatic drawing using methods on the elements's displayObject such as graphics.drawRect().

Parameters

	`unscaledWidth:Number` — Specifies the width of the component, in pixels, in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the `scaleX` property of the component.

	`unscaledHeight:Number` — Specifies the height of the component, in pixels, in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the `scaleY` property of the component.
