Stage outline borders - plz help
I am trying to create outline borders for a shape on the stage and then transform the borders to outline the entire stage.
I got 2 movieclips on my stage :
- mask_mc - (width:500, height:66)
- bg - (width:500, height:250)
- stage size - (width:500, height:250)
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var tw = TweenLite;
var _border:Shape;
var bannerWidth_Exp = bg.width;
var bannerHeight_Exp = bg.height;
var bannerWidth = mask_mc.width
var bannerHeight = mask_mc.height
var startX = mask_mc.x
var startY = mask_mc.y
function DrawBorder():void
{
_border = new Shape();
_border.graphics.lineStyle(1.0, 0x000000, 1.0, false, LineScaleMode.NONE);
_border.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
_border.graphics.lineTo(startX+bannerWidth, startY);
_border.graphics.lineTo(startX+bannerWidth, startY+bannerHeight);
_border.graphics.lineTo(startX, startY+bannerHeight);
_border.graphics.lineTo(startX, startY);
addBorders();
}
function addBorders():void{
addChild(_border);
_border.width = bannerWidth
_border.height = bannerHeight
_border.x = startX
_border.y = startY
trace("height: " + _border.height)
tw.to(mask_mc,1,{x:0,y:0,width:bannerWidth_Exp,height:bannerHeight_Exp, delay:0});
tw.to(_border,1,{width:bannerWidth_Exp,height:bannerHeight_Exp+3.5, delay:0,onComplete:tracer});
}
function tracer():void{
trace("width: " + _border.width)
trace("height: " + _border.height)
trace("x: " + _border.x)
trace("y: " + _border.y)
}
DrawBorder();
I am not sure why this actually works, I had to add 3.5px to : tw.to(_border,1,{width:bannerWidth_Exp,height:bannerHeight_Exp+3.5, delay:0,onComplete:tracer});
As the lines never reach the bottom fully.
I am tyring to get this code to work across any size mask_mc/bg combination.
if I dont use LineScaleMode.NONE
Line cut of on the right, are more visible on the bottom etc
Any help is much appriciated.

Pavel
