How to change the color of the just drawed Shape(ActionScript)

Question

i have drawed some figure(circle, rectangle or just a line) and after that i want to change they color without drawing another figure overlaying those, is that possible?

graphics.beginFill(0x000000, 1);
graphics.drawCircle(70, 67, 2);
graphics.drawCircle(90, 67, 2);
graphics.endFill();

after this code is possible to change the color of those circles? lets say some time later...

Answer 1

It is and it isn't. Once you draw that shape it becomes baked into the draw buffer for that frame. If you've drawn it to the main frame-buffer, that's it, no changies. What you CAN do is draw it to a separate instance of a Sprite or MovieClip and use ColorTransform .

var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

mc.graphics.beginFill(0x000000, 1);
mc.graphics.drawCircle(70, 67, 2);
mc.graphics.drawCircle(90, 67, 2);
mc.graphics.endFill();

and later:

var c:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
c.color = (Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF);
mc.transform.colorTransform = c;

Putting your shape in a MovieClip also has the advantage of not having to redraw it on every frame manually (clearing the normal frame-buffer won't clear the MovieClip 's) and also means you can move it around easily with mc.x and mc.y .

Just out of curiosity, why can't you set the color when it's drawn?
