This is a great library, thank you very much.

I have a question though. If I want to move the arrow triangle so it appears half way down the line, is that possible? Im trying to make a flowchart-like app and I need the flow arrows to appear in the middle of the line.

Thanks,

Luke

How can I draw the a line then a line with an arrow? Basically a line with turn and arrow at the end. I modified the code, but the intersection between the line and the line with the arrow is not line up.

[...] Thanks to Noel at http://www.dncompute.com/blog, I found a great little utility to draw arrows programmatically in flash. This was especially helpful in showing where units will move when you give them a move command. For the curious, here’s the actual article with source included: http://www.dncompute.com/blog/2008/07/17/graphicsutil-a-utility-class-for-drawing-arrows.html [...]

Kindly ignore my question. It was a simple mistake — I added the shape to the wrong display container. Sorry. And thanks again for a great utility.

Outstandingly helpful tool, Noel. If you wouldn’t mind offering a little free support to a noob…

I’m using this class to add markers as overlays on images. I create a new Shape object and then use Shape.graphics methods to load the arrow into that Shape. I use the same object to load ellipses and rectangles, all driven by XML proprties. All looks good, but I find that if I add interaction to the Shape by attaching mouse event listeners, it works for the ellipses and rectangles but not for the arrows. Am I missing something obvious?

This solution is very good, but, i have a little problem. I have a flash player 10, and program in AS 3.0, but my application doesn’t run. Any solution for me? The stage was white.
Thanks.
