I added all the var’s after drawArc( … as Number’s, and in front of ‘moveTo, lineTo and lineStyle’ I added graphics.

Hope that helps.

But while it works for me in Actionscript 2, when I try to load it in Actionscript 3 I get an error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method lineTo" on moveTo, lineTo, and lineStyle. Does anyone know why this is, and what I would need to do to fix it for Actionscript 3? Thanks a bunch! J. Hi,

Normally 0 is right, 90 (pi/2) is up, 180 (pi) is left, and 270 (3pi/4) is down. Therefore increasing values go anticlockwise. The code as is requires a negative arcAngle to go anticlockwise. To correct this the calculated yy values should subtract the sine value instead of add. This results in positive arcAngle values to be anticlockwise and negative arcAngle values to be clockwise which conforms to normal mathematical conventions.

Tbh I don't see why this is not in the AS3 api as a standard function, since it is available in the GUI as a tool. Great piece of code, thanks a lot!
