Flash Tutorial: Drawing lines with AS3

Simple ActionScript 3.0 tutorial that demonstrates how to create a line in Flash ActionScript 3.0 using only code.

Editor’s Review:

Pretty simple to follow tutorial on how to draw lines using only Flaxh ActionScript 3.0 code. Great starter tutorial for individuals looking to start to learn Flash AS3. Very clear, and nice descriptions (and illustrations) to explain each line of code. Simple lines of code, and you can change the colors/coordinates to do your own experimenting.

Note: If you copy and paste the code from the page, you will need to keystrok the “x” in line 3 where it says “0×333333″. The “x” in the example code does not translate correctly into the Flash Actions panel. Took me a couple minutes to figure it out, but once I changed that, it worked great.
