Novice learning 'Starling' discussion

Did you have a look at the link I shared earlier?

You might draw two rectangles. Firstly, the rectangle that represents the border. Secondly, the fill which sits on top.

Alternatively, you can draw the shape using openfl.display.Shape, then use the bitmapData.draw(theShape) method to convert that to BitmapData you can then bring into Starling. This method would give you much better access to drawing tools.
