A quick way to draw a half-circle... I used to use this to draw circles in flash before the Graphics.drawCircle() method.

Thank you for source code. With your code i was able to draw half-circles(fill lowlight, fill highlight) for my RoundButtonSkin component.

Thank you. It worked for me
I adapted this to draw any of the 8 halfCircles starting from multiples of 45 degrees.
public static function halfCircle(g:Graphics, x:Number,y:Number,r:Number, startAngle:int):void {
var c1:Number=r * (Math.SQRT2 - 1);
var c2:Number = r * Math.SQRT2 / 2;
var start:int = ((startAngle +360) % 360) / 45;
var controlX:Number;
var controlY:Number;
var anchorX:Number;
var anchorY:Number;
for (var i:int = start; i < start + 5; i++) {
{
switch (i %
case 0:
controlX = x + r;
controlY = y - c1;
anchorX = x + r;
anchorY = y;
break;
case 1:
controlX = x + r;
controlY = y + c1;
anchorX = x + c2;
anchorY = y + c2;
break;
case 2:
controlX = x + c1;
controlY = y + r;
anchorX = x;
anchorY = y + r;
break;
case 3:
controlX = x - c1;
controlY = y + r;
anchorX = x - c2;
anchorY = y + c2;
break;
case 4:
controlX = x - r;
controlY = y + c1;
anchorX = x - r;
anchorY = y;
break;
case 5:
controlX = x - r;
controlY = y - c1;
anchorX = x - c2;
anchorY = y - c2;
break;
case 6:
controlX = x - c1;
controlY = y - r;
anchorX = x;
anchorY = y - r;
break;
case 7:
controlX = x + c1;
controlY = y - r;
anchorX = x + c2;
anchorY = y - c2;
break;
}
if (i == start) {
g.moveTo(anchorX, anchorY);
} else {
g.curveTo(controlX, controlY, anchorX, anchorY);
}
}
}
