I am in the process of making a pie chart program with Flash and am running into some issues when it comes to adding various levels of opacity to the chart.

It works fine, and the opacity is what I set it to, but there are the additional issues of getting it to not overlap.

For instance, when I run the application that the circle is made (that is all it does at this point) it hasportions that overlap with other slices of the pie thus making variations in the circle's total opacity.

At this point I am using a slice of a circle with an angle of 1.5 degrees, which is what the pie slice angle supposedly is. I am also just looping through until it has made a circle to try and get everything lining up right and not doing to much additional.

What I am wondering is if there is a better way of doing this (like does flash 8 have a way to change a circle's inner angle?) or is this the best way there is? If this is athe best way, if there any way to make flas merge all the movieclips into a single vector object so that the opacity stays the same even if there is overlap?

I have attached my entire fla for anyone who wants to take a look at it and hopefully tell me what I am doing wrong.
