Stroke Improvements

There has also been a great deal of improvement made to creating lines in Flash. You can now have gradients on lines, whether they are drawn manually or created with ActionScript.

Another improvement for lines is their ends. You can now set the line ends (caps) to either None, Round, or Square. You can also set how lines embedded into movie clips will scale with the following options:

• Normal Always scale the thickness of the line. This is the default choice.

• Horizontal Do not scale the thickness of the line when the line is horizontally scaled.

• Vertical Do not scale the thickness of the line when the line is vertically scaled.

• None Never scale the thickness of the line.
