draw

description: Draws all the shapes of the composite.

usage:

myShapeComposite.draw();

returns: Void.

drawBy

description: draws all the shapes of the composite.

usage:

myShapeComposite.draw();

returns: Void.

lineStyle

description: define outline.

usage:

myShapeComposite.lineStyle();

myShapeComposite.lineStyle(lineThickness, lineRGB, lineAlpha);

parameters:

• lineThickness (Number) Outline thickness.
• lineRGB (Number) Outline color as hex number.
• lineAlpha (Number) Outline transparency (alpha).

returns: Void.

fillStyle

description: define fill.

usage:

myShapeComposite.fillStyle();

myShapeComposite.fillStyle(fillRGB, fillAlpha);

parameters:

• fillRGB (Number) Fill color.
• fillAlpha (Number) Fill transparency.

returns: Void.

gradientStyle

description: Same interface as MovieClip.beginGradientFill(). See manual.

usage:

myShapeComposite.gradientStyle(fillType, colors, alphas, ratios, matrix);

parameters:

• fillType (String) Gradient property. See MovieClip.beginGradientFill().
• colors (Array) Gradient property. See MovieClip.beginGradientFill().

returns: Void.

clear

description: removes all drawings. Identical to myInstance.movieclip.clear();

usage:

myInstance.clear();

returns: Void.

setRegistrationPoint

description: Sets the registration point of the composite.

usage:

myInstance.setRegistrationPoint(registrationObj);

parameters:

• registrationObj (Object)

returns: Void.

getChilds

description: returns all stored composites and primitives as primitives. Note that this method ignores hierarchies in your composite for the sake of easy manipulation of all IDrawable shapes. See class description for an example.

usage:

myShapeComposite.getChilds();

returns: Array that returns the stored composites and primitives as primitves.

addChild

description: adds a primitive or composite to the composite instance of ShapeComposite See class description.

usage:

myShapeComposite.addChild(shape, identifier);

parameters:

• component (IDrawable) Must be compatible to IDrawable.
• identifier (String) String that identifies shape to the user.

returns: IDrawable component that was added.

removeChild

description: removes a primitive or composite from the composite instance of ShapeComposite See class description.

usage:

myShapeComposite.removeChild(identifier);

parameters:

• identifier (String) String that identifies shape to the user.

returns: Void.

accept

description: Allow a visitor to visit its elements. See Visitor design pattern [GoF].

usage:

myInstance.accept(visitor);

parameters:

• visitor (IVisitor) Must be compatible to de.alex_uhlmann.animationpackage.utility.IVisitor.

returns: Void.

getID

description: returns a unique ID of the instance. Usefull for associative arrays.

usage: myInstance.getID();

returns: Number

toString

description: returns the name of the class.

usage: myInstance.toString();

returns: String
