Drawing Apllication Question...

Hello,

I am creatinh a simple drawig application in AS3. I have assigned everything correctly except that I cannot make it switch between the colors. The code that I have is below:

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var myThick: int = 2;

var currentColor: Number = 0x000000;

var myCanvas:Sprite;

init();

function init(): void{

    drawCanvas();

    var thickLine:Sprite = new Sprite();

thickLine.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);

thickLine.graphics.drawRect(15, 280, 25, 20);

thickLine.graphics.endFill();

addChild(thickLine);

thickLine.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeToThick);

thickLine.buttonMode = true;

var thinLine:Sprite = new Sprite();

thinLine.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);

thinLine.graphics.drawRect(15, 320, 25, 5);

thinLine.graphics.endFill();

addChild(thinLine);

thinLine.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeToThin);

thinLine.buttonMode = true;

}

function changeToThick(event:MouseEvent):void {

    myThick = 10;

    myCanvas.graphics.lineStyle(10, currentColor);

}

function changeToThin(event:MouseEvent):void {

    myThick = 2;

    myCanvas.graphics.lineStyle(2, currentColor);

}

function drawCanvas(): void {

    myCanvas = new Sprite();

    myCanvas.graphics.beginFill(0xF0F0F0);

    myCanvas.graphics.drawRect(60,20, stage.stageWidth-80, stage.stageHeight-40);

    myCanvas.graphics.endFill();

    myCanvas.graphics.lineStyle(myThick, currentColor);

    addChild(myCanvas);

    myCanvas.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDraw);

    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDraw);

    myCanvas.buttonMode = true;

}

function startDraw(event:MouseEvent) : void {

    myCanvas.graphics.moveTo(event.localX, event.localY);

    myCanvas.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, paintline);

}

function stopDraw (event:MouseEvent): void{

    myCanvas.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, paintline);

}

function paintline(event:MouseEvent): void {

    myCanvas.graphics.lineTo(event.localX, event.localY);

    event.updateAfterEvent();

}

{

var blackSwatch:Sprite = new Sprite();

blackSwatch.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);

blackSwatch.graphics.drawCircle(30, 30, 20);

blackSwatch.graphics.endFill();

addChild(blackSwatch);

blackSwatch.buttonMode = true;

blackSwatch.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeToBlack);

}{

var redSwatch: Sprite = new Sprite ();

redSwatch.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);

redSwatch.graphics.drawCircle(30, 30, 20);

redSwatch.graphics.endFill();

addChild(redSwatch);

redSwatch.buttonMode = true;

redSwatch.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeToRed);

}{

var yellowSwatch : Sprite = new Sprite();

yellowSwatch.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFF00);

yellowSwatch.graphics.drawCircle(30, 30, 20);

yellowSwatch.graphics.endFill();

addChild(yellowSwatch);

yellowSwatch.buttonMode = true;

yellowSwatch.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeToYellow);

}

function changeToBlack(event:MouseEvent):void {

    myCanvas.graphics.lineStyle(myThick, 0x000000);

    currentColor = 0x000000;

}

function changeToRed(event:MouseEvent):void {

    myCanvas.graphics.lineStyle(myThick, 0xFF0000);

    currentColor = 0xFF0000;

}

function changeToYellow(event:MouseEvent):void {

    myCanvas.graphics.lineStyle(myThick, 0XFFFF00);

    currentColor = 0XFFFF00;

}

var clearSwatch:Sprite = new Sprite();

clearSwatch.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);

clearSwatch.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x000000);

clearSwatch.graphics.drawCircle(30, 370, 20);

clearSwatch.graphics.endFill();

addChild(clearSwatch);

clearSwatch.buttonMode = true;

clearSwatch.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clearCanvas);

function clearCanvas(event:MouseEvent):void {

    myCanvas.graphics.clear();

    drawCanvas();

}

It is the blackSwatch, redSwatch, YellowSwatch part that is causing the problem. It only gives the color palette of the very last line I write in the actionscript. However, it should give me all of the colors at the same time and I should be able to choose among  them.

I am lost. Coudl someone please help me?

Best Regards,
