Question

        var blockGraphics : Graphics = null;

        blockGraphics.clear();

        blockGraphics.beginFill(255);

        blockGraphics.drawRect(10,10,10,10);

I am trying to simply draw a rectangle but nothing appears on the screen. What am i missing?

Answer 1

Afaik you can’t instantiate graphics class..
you need to make a MovieClip or Sprite and work with that.. you can’t draw directly to stage.

var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
mc.graphics.drawRect(10,10,10,10);
mc.graphics.endFill();

also don’t forget to add it to stage

addChild(mc);
