Information Since I don't have any info yet, I'll just post these neat Flash files. dashTo.as The method mc.dashTo is used to draw dashed (and dotted) lines. This was made to extend the lineTo function because the built-in method doesn't have the custom line types that the line tool has in Macromedia Flash MX.   drawArc.as The method mc.drawArc is used to draw regular and elliptical arc segments. This method replaces the original method released to the Macromedia Flash MX beta group titled arcTo. This method contains several optimizations based on input from the following people: Robert Penner, Eric Mueller, and Michael Hurwicz.   drawBurst.as The method mc.drawBurst is used to draw bursts (rounded star shaped ovals often seen in advertising). This method also makes some fun flower shapes if you play with the input numbers.   drawGear.as The method mc.drawGear is used to draw gears. You know, cogs with teeth and a hole in the middle where the axle goes? Okay, okay...so nobody needs a method to draw a gear. But it was an easy adaptation of the polygon method.   drawOval.as The method mc.drawOval is used to create circles and ovals. Hopefully this one is pretty straight forward. This method, like most of the others, is not as optimized as it could be. This was to keep the code as accessible as possible for those either new to ActionScript or to the math involved in plotting points on a curve.   drawPoly.as The method mc.drawPoly is used to create regular polygons. This allows you to draw the polygons either clockwise or counter-clockwise (based on the 'sides' argument) so that you can use it to knock holes in dynamically created masks.   drawRect.as The method mc.drawRect is used to draw rectangles and rounded rectangles. Regular rectangles are easy enough to just rebuild in any file as needed, but the rounded rectangle is required more frequently, hence the method. The rounding is very much like that of the rectangle tool in Macromedia Flash MX. If the rectangle is smaller in either dimension than the rounding would permit, the rounded corners scale down to fit.   drawStar.as The method mc.drawStar is used to draw star shaped polygons. Like mc.drawPoly, it can draw stars in either direction—which is helpful for creating knockouts.   drawWedge.as The method mc.drawWedge is used to draw pie shaped wedges. Very useful for creating charts. Again, special thanks is due to: Robert Penner, Eric Mueller, and Michael Hurwicz for their contributions.     I hope you enjoy these methods as much as I enjoyed putting them here.
