Draw three quarter circle...

[next2heaven]

I need to draw a circle like a pie chart. But I need the circle to only go around about 2/3's or whatever I choose. I've tried the 'curveTo' method but that didn't work. It makes the circle more bulged and not round like a circle.

Any ideas on how to make a perfect circle with a slice taken out?

The nicest-looking way is to use drawCircle, then create a mask for it.

var circ:Sprite = new Sprite();
circ.graphics.beginFill(0,1);
circ.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,50);
circ.graphics.endFill();
var cmask:Sprite = new Sprite();
cmask.graphics.beginFill(0,1);
cmask.graphics.drawRect(0,-50,50,50);
cmask.graphics.endFill();
circ.mask = cmask;
addChild(circ);
addChild(cmask);
circ.x = cmask.x = circ.y = cmask.y = 100;

Great idea. Thank you, that will work wonderfully!
