[LEFT][SIZE=2]So when I call lineTo() and then next call lineStyle() with a new color - that previous lineTo gets drawn in the new color, not whatever color was previously set. It is strange but I don’t know if there is some kind of justification for the behaviour?[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2]Example: this is meant to draw 2 white lines but the second is drawn in blue if I do a blue lineStyle immediately after. Insert a moveTo or similar “end-draw” function then it’s ok. seems broken to me…:hangover:[/SIZE][/LEFT]

//EDIT: - put this rect draw bit first  
[SIZE=2][LEFT]graphics.beginFill(0x000000);[/LEFT]  
graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);  
[/SIZE]

[LEFT][SIZE=2]graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFFFFFF);[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2]graphics.moveTo(0,5);[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2]graphics.lineTo(30,5);[/SIZE][/LEFT]

[LEFT][SIZE=2]graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFFFFFF);[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2]graphics.moveTo(0,15);[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2]graphics.lineTo(30,15);[/SIZE][/LEFT]

[SIZE=2]//this next call sets color of previous lineTo!?[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2]//if I insert a moveTo(x,y); then its ok (draws line before style change)[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=2]graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x0000FF);[/SIZE]
