MovieClip.lineStyle()

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_mc.lineStyle([thickness[, rgb[, alpha]]])

Parameters

thickness An integer that indicates the thickness of the line in points; valid values are 0 to 255. If a number is not specified, or if the parameter is undefined, a line is not drawn. If a value of less than 0 is passed, Flash uses 0. The value 0 indicates hairline thickness; the maximum thickness is 255. If a value greater than 255 is passed, the Flash interpreter uses 255.

rgb A hex color value (for example, red is 0xFF0000, blue is 0x0000FF, and so on) of the line. If a value isn't indicated, Flash uses 0x000000 (black).

alpha An integer that indicates the alpha value of the line's color; valid values are 0-100. If a value isn't indicated, Flash uses 100 (solid). If the value is less than 0, Flash uses 0; if the value is greater than 100, Flash uses 100.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Method; specifies a line style that Flash uses for subsequent calls to lineTo() and curveTo() until you call lineStyle() with different parameters. You can call lineStyle() in the middle of drawing a path to specify different styles for different line segments within a path.

Note: Calls to clear reset lineStyle() back to undefined.

Example

The following code draws a triangle with a 5-point, solid magenta line and no fill.

_root.createEmptyMovieClip( "triangle", 1 );
with ( _root.triangle )
{
lineStyle( 5, 0xff00ff, 100 );
moveTo( 200, 200 );
lineTo( 300,300 ); 
lineTo( 100, 300 );
lineTo( 200, 200 );
}
