Thanks alot! You’ve helped me with this thing.

I was “drawing” lines as Sprite() and Shape() and can’t addChild on my scene as I want.

After implementing the line over UIComponent it works great.

Thanks alot!

Here is the code. I needed to draw a line on MouseEvent. I performed it inside class and add to the scene where the button was clicked.

var line:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
line.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0×990000, .75);
line.graphics.beginFill(0×000000);
line.graphics.moveTo(-10, -10);
line.graphics.lineTo(200, 200);

e.target.addChild(line);

Really?

Really really?

It takes THAT MUCH effort to draw a line on an image?

Good lord, I’m staying away from Flex.

well if it’s a chart, i would have used its data canvas, working in data space is sometimes more useful than image space.
