Question

i’m having problems with my code or something… the thing is i’m using lineTo from one objects coordinates to the other’s, but no mater where the second object is the line always goes off to a random direction somewhere in the lower left corner and i’m stuck.

here is the code:

        var spr:Shape = new Shape();
        spr.graphics.clear();
        spr.graphics.lineStyle(2,0xffffff);
        spr.x = latM[1].x;
        spr.y = latM[1].y;
        spr.graphics.lineTo(latM[0].x,latM[0].y);
        trace("latM[0].x = "+latM[0].x+"\tlatM[0].y = "+latM[0].y+
              "\nlatM[1].x = "+latM[1].x+"\tlatM[1].y = "+latM[1].y);
        spr.graphics.lineTo(latM[0].x,latM[0].y);
        addChild(spr);

after a few tries i found out that all lines point [wrote lean by mistake] towards the lower left TT_TT..

Answer 1

What do you mean lean towards the lower left?
You can only draw a straight line with lineTo.
“lineTo” only goes from the current point to the point set via its parameters.
The moveTo function will move the point without drawing.
The following code will draw a box 100 X 100

var spr:Shape = new Shape();
spr.graphics.clear();
spr.graphics.lineStyle(2,0xff00ff);
spr.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
spr.graphics.lineTo(0,100);
spr.graphics.lineTo(100,100);
spr.graphics.lineTo(100,0);
spr.graphics.lineTo(0,0);
addChild(spr);
