[Feature Suggestion] Vector Graphic Tesselation about starling-framework HOT 5 OPEN

Hi there, You're absolutely right, the lack of native vector shapes is the main drawback of Starling, and what you're suggesting would be the way to go to make this possible.

However, to be honest - as you can see from the lack of recent updates - I don't have much time to develop Starling at the moment, so I'm afraid it's unlikely to happen any time soon.

(I've always loved working on Starling, but since the financial support from Adobe and others stopped, I had to move on to other projects and reduced my development efforts for Starling mostly to fixing urgent bugs and keeping it compatible with the latest AIR versions. It's totally possible to add a small feature here or there when requested, but what you're asking would be a major effort.)

I completely understand, it's still impressive you have maintained Starling support for so long! Away3D basically died the year Adobe cut funds, so it is appreciated you at least made sure to keep Starling working after all this time.
It really just striked me off this was missing you know? I am surprised no one suggested this sooner

I got a POC working but the starling graphics extension forks out there all have issues displaying flash shapes as they weren't tested to render such things
The built in Canvas has no LineTo/MoveTo/CurveTo right?
I might try to port NanoVG to AS3 if it doesn't.

Mhm, Flash shapes had some very specific properties, right? I was always impressed how drawing in Flash / Adobe Animate felt almost like working with a pixel-based app. I can imagine it's hard to replicate that 100%.

The built in Canvas of Starling doesn't have those methods; the closest that's there is the drawPolygon method, which triangulates a simple list of points, but doesn't support any curves. All rather bare-bones, I'm afraid. 😳
