These still need tweaking, but essentially I just wanted a repeatable way to draw boxes via script. This includes the ability to add rounded corners, gradients, and drop shadows (could it really be any other way? :) The Balloon function was to fulfill a specific goal, obviously, but since these things are more and more popular I figured it would be a good idea to have it somewhat configurable for future usage. Right now, for drop shadows you just have to make two boxes, one blurry, one not. Perhaps it would be better to consolidate the balloon script into the box script, but for now, this works.



import flash.filters.BlurFilter;

dynamic class _Draw {

	

	static function box(targetMC,targetDepth,w,h,c,r,gradientType){

		var targetDepth = (targetDepth != undefined && targetDepth != null) ? targetDepth : targetMC.getNextHighestDepth();

		var newBox:MovieClip = targetMC.createEmptyMovieClip("newBox", targetDepth);

		var g:Object = new Object();

		

		if (c.length != undefined){

			g = getGradientObject(w,h,gradientType);

			newBox.beginGradientFill(g.fillType, c, g.alphas, g.ratios, g.matrix, g.spreadMethod, g.interpolationMethod, g.focalPointRatio);

		} else {

			newBox.beginFill(c);

		}

		

		if (r == undefined) var r = 0;

		

		with (newBox){

			lineStyle(0,0x000000,0);

			moveTo(r, 0);

			lineTo(w-r, 0);

			curveTo(w,0,w,r);

			lineTo(w, h-r);

			curveTo(w,h,w-r,h);			

			lineTo(r, h);

			curveTo(0,h,0,h-r);

			lineTo(0, r);

			curveTo(0,0,r,0);

			endFill();

		}

		

		return newBox;

	}



	static function balloon(targetMC,targetDepth,w,h,c,r,gradientType,arrowBaseOffset,arrowBaseWidth,arrowLength,arrowPointOffset){

		var targetDepth = (targetDepth != undefined && targetDepth != null) ? targetDepth : targetMC.getNextHighestDepth();

		var newBalloon:MovieClip = targetMC.createEmptyMovieClip("newBalloon", targetDepth);

		var g:Object = new Object();

		

		if (c.length != undefined){

			g = getGradientObject(w,h,gradientType);

			newBalloon.beginGradientFill(g.fillType, c, g.alphas, g.ratios, g.matrix, g.spreadMethod, g.interpolationMethod, g.focalPointRatio);

			newBalloon.beginFill(c);

		}

		

		if (r == undefined) var r = 0;

		

		with (newBalloon){

			lineStyle(0,0x000000,0);

			moveTo(r, 0);

			lineTo(w-r, 0);

			curveTo(w,0,w,r);

			lineTo(w, h-r);

			curveTo(w,h,w-r,h);

			

			// start arrow			

			lineTo(r + arrowBaseOffset + arrowBaseWidth, h);

			lineTo(r + arrowBaseOffset + (arrowBaseWidth/2) + arrowPointOffset, h + arrowLength);

			lineTo(r + arrowBaseOffset, h);

			// end arrow

			

			lineTo(r, h);

			curveTo(0,h,0,h-r);

			lineTo(0, r);

			curveTo(0,0,r,0);

			endFill();

		}
