What is best practice for clearing/redrawing shapes?

ondesic

I am using the following code to recreate a line. However, I am worried that I am not doing it right. I don't want to cause memory leaks:

local line = Shape.new() line:setLineStyle(5, 0x000000, 1) line:beginPath() line:moveTo(100,100) line:lineTo(200, 200) line:endPath()   stage:addChild(line)   line.clear()   line:setLineStyle(5, 0x000000, 1) line:beginPath() line:moveTo(100,100) line:lineTo(300, 250) line:endPath()   stage:addChild(line)

Is this correct, or do I need to remove the child from stage first?

Thanks

noup, you don't need to remove it, the way you use it is completely valid, except you are adding it again to the stage for the second time, which also is not needed.

@ar2rsawseen +1 what he said. You are already doing it correctly you just have an extra addChild command at the end.
