AS3 Cable Physics: How do I do it?

[kranzoky]

Does anyone know where I could find the source code or how I would go about creating cable physics like in the example below?

Check this thread for a rough start:

The difference for your example is where the control point is - instead of an s-shape between the two points, you want to find the midpoint and then move it down a ways for the 'droop' in the cable.

You will also find lots of cool stuff on bezier curves and other math here
