I wanted to add a self-drawing line to my page but the only types of tutorials I can find in that category make the user draw the line themselves. Does anyone know where that tutorial is that explains how to coordinate the line? Or do I just use tweens and transforms? I’m sure there was a tutorial that make it look a lot smoother with the final product. Hmmmm… Let me know if you know of the one I’m talking about.

Howdy…

Well… If you have found a tutorial that lets the user draw a line then all you need is to learn what is involved with drawing line and make it yours… You can’t expect to find the all the tutorials you want on all cases, can you??? Learn and adapt it for your own use… 🙂

Cyan is right. Tutorials are meant to be a push in the right direction on how to do things.

For example…

I used this to learn the drawing API…

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/drawing\_api.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/drawing_api.asp)

This to get more into it…

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/drawingboard.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/drawingboard.htm)

And I produced this as a very first result of only using the drawing API (and dynamic textbox/movieclip symbol creation with AS).
