Topic: point to point (Page 1 of 1)

hey
i was wondering if there is a way in mx flash to draw point to point but then for it to smoothen it like it does with the pencil
thanks

No, not unless you write an algorithm to smooth it yourself. You can draw curves with the drawing APIs curveTo() method, but for anything more than 3 points you'll run into issues.

If you want to average several points to create a smoother line, then using a basic quadratic bezier algorithm would be the simplest and fastest way to have at it. There's a dead simple paper about how it's done here: http://www.math.washington.edu/~king/coursedir/m445w01/lab/lab04/lab04.html

There's also some info here about how to implement cubic bezier curves in flash, but that's probably overkill for what you want.
