Hey there,

I am working on a project in which I am using actionscript to create vector graphics contained within a movieclip utilizing the ‘curveTo’ function. This is working fine for me, however, it is a real pain to input all the points of a vector graphic into actionscript.

Is Flash capable of reading the vertex points of a vector graphic? If Flash isn’t capable of that, is there a way to take a vector graphic (created in Illustrator) and output all the vector points in text format?

Thanks! :king:
