Animating Objects Drawn Using the Flash API

Friday June 13, 2008
Not only can you draw shapes with ActionScripts alone, but you can also animate those shapes without ever setting up a single tween. You can use the ActionScripts controlling the X and Y coordinates of a shape to animate it along a path guided by a specific equation - even if that path is as jittery as the one created by Math.random() in my example.
