Working with the drawing API

Sup y’all…

I’m working on a project for my uni course, and for said project we have to use the drawing api. I have a little experience with flash and AS 3.0 but I am no where near proficient at either.

I’ve got a few lines and shiz drawn, but I want to draw a heart shape, which I can then put into a function and call a few times over in a loop. I have a basic idea how to call the function once I’ve made it, but I can’t draw the heart shape. The “curveTo” method has me completely baffled and I’ve tried many times over to draw my heart shape, I’ve tried with grids set up, and I’ve tried with tracing over a heart shape with a grid set up, but I just can’t get it to work right.

It would be much appreciated if some-one could tell me how to draw a heart shape, and possibly even a good way to figure out how to draw complicated curvy shapes without wasting hours and hours on trial and error.

Many thanks in advance
