Question

I am trying to ape the MS Paint application in Flash. I have a small point that I want to get cleared. I want to set the thickness of the line that I am drawing.

I want to add a numeric stepper to stage dynamically. Only when I click on option to draw line the numeric stepper must appear on stage. It must be removed when I select another component.

How can I add it at runtime. I got tutorials and references in which the stepper is always there on the stage. But I want it only when I want to draw the line.

Thanks and Regards

Bobby

Answer 1

You would use the addChild and removeChild methods of the DisplayObjectContainer class.

If you’re using Flex then you might want to look at PopUpManager instead.
