I've finally been getting around to re-writing all my ActionScript 2.0 classes in ActionScript 3.0. Since a lot of A.S. 3 is still a little foreign to me, I thought I'd start simple with re-creating my shape classes. First up, draw.Circle.

package com.mikethenderson.draw {
 
import flash.display.Shape;
 
public class Circle extends Shape {
 
// set propertires
private var _color:uint;
private var _radius:Number;
private var _stroke:Array;
 
// constructor
public function Circle( args:Object ) {
// when circle is created, then pass the goods
draw( args );
}
 
// draws circle based on set vars
private function draw( args:Object ):void {
 
// set defualts if any parameters are missing
_color = ( args.color != undefined ) ? args.color : 0x000000;
_radius = ( args.radius != undefined ) ? args.radius : 25;
_stroke = ( args.stroke != undefined ) ? args.stroke : [0, 0x000000, 0];
 
// draw circle
graphics.lineStyle( _stroke[0], _stroke[1], _stroke[2], true );
graphics.beginFill( _color );
graphics.drawCircle( 0, 0, _radius );
graphics.endFill();
}
}
}

Then to call the class, simply make an instance like so:

import com.draw.Circle;
var myCircle:Circle = new Circle ( { color:0xFF0000, radius:30, stroke:[1, 0x000000, 1] } );
myCircle.x = 100;
myCircle.y = 100;
addChild( myCircle );
