Im in a hurry, so don’t give me the “please search before post”-talk. I need to draw a box with rounded corners. I can’t get a hang of it. I want to draw it from the following variables:

boxwidth = 200;  
boxheight = 200;  
radius = 5;

How do I draw this? You should see the artwork I have (by mistake) created while trying to get it right 😛

you cant script it. What you can do on the other hand is draw this figure using the drawing tools of flash…(lineTo and fill)

I think you are [color=Red]wrong[/color]. I am almost ready with a function which does exactly this. I hope …

I think you didn’t understand my answer. What you did is exactly what I said should be done - didn’t you use the lineTo function ???

It’s been done before. What I meant is that there is no such function as drawRoundedRectangle(var,var,var,var,etc…)
