I am doing a little bit of experimentation with the flash drawing api and have run into a snag. I don’t have a point to use for the curve to function (bx, by, x, y) but i do have the x and y.

is there a way to smooth the lines that are drawn with actionscript similar to the way that the designtime environment smooths the lines as you draw them.
