well its not as fine and as restricted as the one in illustrator, i find it too loose, and to get the results i want i have to keep goiing to illustrator. like for example, when clicking after 2 dots to connect another, instead of the next line coming in straight and then giving you the opt to make it curvy like in illustrator or even photoshop, in flash it comes out curvy automatically not giving me the choice to curve while not letting go of the pen tool

i know it sounds confusing but…:-\

You can use the select arrow tool (thats the black arrow) to make your lines curve after you’ve drawn them.

Flash’s drawing tools are more a basic courtesy than a primary art feature,

…why not complete your art and bring it in to flash then ?
