Trying to draw concentric circles - not working as told

[zdvdla]

sampleSprite.graphics.lineStyle();
sampleSprite.graphics.drawCircle(100, 100, 50);
sampleSprite.drawCircle(100, 100, 100);

throws an error


1120: Access of undefined property sampleSprite.

[sasxa]

you have to make sprite b4 you start drawing in it... add

var sampleSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
// your code
addChild(sampleSprite);

[zdvdla]

well...I added those lines..



var sampleSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();


sampleSprite.drawCircle.lineStyle();
sampleSprite.drawCircle(100, 100, 50);

addChild(sampleSprite);


I get............................................... ................

Compiler errors

1119: Access of possibly undefined property drawCircle through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite.

sorry..got cut off...

well...I added those lines..



var sampleSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();


sampleSprite.drawCircle.lineStyle();
sampleSprite.drawCircle(100, 100, 50);

addChild(sampleSprite);


I get............................................... ................

Began a new project...

typed in ...................


import flash.display.Graphics;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

var sampleSprite:MovieClip = new MovieClip();


sampleSprite.drawCircle.lineStyle();
sampleSprite.drawCircle(100, 100, 50);

addChild(sampleSprite);


got.....................



Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method drawCircle is no longer supported. For more information, see the Graphics class..


is this true???

[danielgrad]

to draw circles you need to use the graphics propery of the movie clip:


var sampleSprite:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

sampleSprite.graphics.drawCircle.lineStyle(1);
sampleSprite.graphics.drawCircle(100, 100, 50);
sampleSprite.graphics.drawCircle(100, 100, 100);

stage.addChild(sampleSprite);


I also added 1 as the line width, otherwise you won't get any line around the circles.

[zdvdla]

well,

I gave up on that approach, and did it the old Irish way...
built it from the ground up..
not concentric but thats easy enough from here....




function DrawSprite():void

{

graphics.beginFill(0xFFCC00);
graphics.drawCircle(100, 100, 50);
graphics.endFill();

}






DrawSprite();

works fine...thanks for your help though!!

[zdvdla]

function DrawSprite():void

{

graphics.beginFill(0xFFCC00);
graphics.drawCircle(300, 200, 200);
graphics.endFill();

graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF);
graphics.drawCircle(300, 200, 150);
graphics.endFill();

graphics.beginFill(0xA9A9A9);
graphics.drawCircle(300, 200, 100);
graphics.endFill();

graphics.beginFill(0x8A2BE2);
graphics.drawCircle(300, 200, 50);
graphics.endFill();

}

DrawSprite();
