Hi there!

Is there any possibility to draw lines or rectangles with a commandline in ActionScript?

Draw a rectancle 100px by 100px  
Draw a diagonal line and set line properties to hairline

You now have a line  
To manipulate this line adjust \_x, \_y, \_xScale, \_yscale, \_rotation

Not the cleanest but it works

if you’re using mx there’s a whole drawing api

moveTo(x,y);  
lineStyle();  
beginFill(0xcc0000);  
lineTo(x,y);  
endFill();  
…

have a look in the a/s dictionary for usage details
