Uses drawing coordinates from

http://bretlanius.com/flash/painter2.html

Just a port of something I had done in 3dfa a long time ago. The painter program was done in 3dfa.

Could be used for just the follow path part.

here's the entire code for the drawit movie

code:

---

mc1.swapdepths(99999);//mc1 is the pencil

function drawit(coords){

		

	if (idx<coords.length){//Not the end of the Array? 



	if (coords[idx]>=1000){//it's a moveTo

	//Move it

			canvas.moveTo(coords[idx]/1000,coords[idx+1]/1000)

		mc1._x=coords[idx];

		mc1._y=coords[idx+1];

		}//End if Move

		

	if (coords[idx]==-1){//it's a Change Color

			canvas.lineStyle (3,coords[idx+1],100)//assume line width of 1 and Alpha of 100

	

		}//end if Change Color

		

	if (coords[idx]>-1 && coords[idx]<1000){//It's a lineTo



			//draw the line to the coordinates

			canvas.lineTo(coords[idx],coords[idx+1]);

			mc1._x=coords[idx];

		mc1._y=coords[idx+1];

		}	//end If lineTo



		

	}//end if 

	else{

	mc1._alpha=0;

	}

idx=idx+2;





}//end function



var idx=0;

var coords = new Array();





/*Coords go here from painter program







*/



_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("canvas", 1);

canvas.lineStyle(3,0,100);

stop();

mytimer=setInterval(drawit,50,coords);
