Hi guys,

I hope someone can help me. Basically, I’m looking to create a scribble pattern that draws itself out in a quick and expedient manner.

I found an fla file on another site, and the author essentially created a distorted elliptical path and had a ball follow that path. He then used Drawing API and dynamically drew a circle which followed that ball, and since he didn’t use the clear() action, the previous circles remained, thus forming a line.

However, it was slow because it relied on an onEnterFrame event, and you need a lot of circles to make a convincing line.

Anyways, can anyone help me out and make this scribble quickly draw itself out in flash?

Cheers,

Rupert
