drawing sine curves w/ flashMX curveTo() and lineTo()

[fishea]

hey, does anyone have any experience drawing (or trying to draw) sine curves in flashMX w/ either curveTo() or lineTo()? I've managed to make very ugly aproximations with something like

for (i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
drawTo((cA+cB*i), (cC+sin(cD*i)));
}

... with various values for the coefficients cA, cB, cC, and cD. I also tried some haphazard stuff with curveTo() that was so shockingly ugly and nonfunctional that I won't stoop to posting the code.

anyway has anyone sucessfully done this?? I'd be very interested.

thanks!

Yep i played around with drawing lines the first week i got MX you can get a faily nice sine wave but it is a little processor intensive.

Heres a sample i did it calculate the amplitude and frequency of the wave depending on the position of the mouse.
Let me know what you think.

here's one in flash 5, all you have to do is replace all the 'attachMovie' commands with the appropriate 'moveTo' and 'lineTo' stuff.
