This may just be the IDE trying to be helpful (in which case it may be a
bug).   But in any case, you might try checking points via script/answer to
verify point information.  FWIW, I do agree that a "closed-ness" property
seems unnecessary (as long as setting points is not broken).

In addition to Geoff Canyon's amazing asteroids recreation that employs a
single polygon graphic, you might want to take a look at the Tutti3D example
available in our media panel.  Enter the following in your message box and
