I’ve been looking all over with no luck for a way to code the pen tool in AS3. What i want is, in the flash application, the pen tool as it functions in Flash itself. So, for example, i push Ctrl + Enter and test my program, then can use the mouse to click and create a point, click again and it connects with a straight line, or click and drag to create a curve. I don’t need anything like hinges where you can go back and edit curves, i just want the click/click drag line functionality. Thanks in advance for any solutions of help you can offer!
