[FlexJS] How to use the Graphics framework?
Hi,
I've just found the "org.apache.flex.core.graphics" classes and try to draw
a circle... without success.
The only thing I've got is an empty screen.
I used the follwing snippet as "initialView":
<js:ViewBase xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:js="library://ns.apache.org/flexjs/basic" >
<js:Circle x="100" y="100" radius="50">
<js:SolidColor color="#26C9FF" />
</js:Circle>
</js:ViewBase>
Maybe there's a surrounding container needed to make it work?
Does somebody know how it works?
Thanks,
Olaf

Maybe it is just me, but I fill just about every circle. Another option
is to create a SolidColorFilledCircle component. It wouldn't have any
child tags at all. That's a good illustration of aggregation into
higher-level components.
BTW, regarding checking for valid input, it is surprising that something
didn't throw an error, but also, IMO, the components should not do input
validation because when you get to production, you should have done some
tests and found issues like these such that input validation is a waste of
time in production. Instead, it would be great to find a volunteer to
explore the notion of debug beads. These would be beads that plug into
views or components and do input validation based on some configuration
option.
Thoughts?

IMHO, the default property should be the most obvious or property with the
highest priority. IOW, I don't see why fill should be more important than
stroke, so the graphics shouldn't have a default property.

Any reason we shouldn't add fill as the default property?

I just tried my example without the <js:fill> either and did not get an
error. I'm thinking this is a bug as Circle and the other graphics classes
do not have default properties that I'm aware of.

I didn't notice any error (using the nightly build 0.7.0).
Thanks!

It looks like you are just missing the <js:fill> property of the circle:
<js:Circle x="100" y="100" radius="50">
<js:fill>
<js:SolidColor color="#26C9FF" />
</js:fill>
</js:Circle>
I'm surprised you didn't get an error with the SolidColor tag just
floating within the Circle element.
