Stroke object 407
Description
Property; a string that specifies the length of a hatch line. This property is available only if the
stroke.style property is set to "hatched" (see stroke.style). Acceptable values are
"equal", "slight", "variation", "medium variation", and "random".
Example
The following example sets the length property to "slight" for a stroke style of hatched:
var myStroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomStroke();
myStroke.style = "hatched";
myStroke.curve = "straight";
myStroke.space = "close";
myStroke.jiggle = "wild";
myStroke.rotate = "free";
myStroke.length = "slight";
myStroke.hatchThickness = "thin";
fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomStroke( myStroke );
stroke.miterLimit
Availability
Flash 8.
Usage
stroke.miterLimit
Description
Property; a float value that specifies the angle above which the tip of the miter will be
truncated by a segment. That means the miter is truncated only if the miter angle is greater
than the value of
miterLimit.
Example
The following example changes the miter limit of the stroke setting to 3. If the miter angle is
greater than 3, the miter is truncated.
var myStroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomStroke();
myStroke.miterLimit = 3;
var myStroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomStroke();
