FLASH: Drawing curves progressively : Shape tweening?

[Calin]

Hi everyone.

Here's a problem that I have been confronted with (since quite some time :(

): I want to draw a curve, say a quarter of a circle, beginning with a small

dot which tweens itself until the full quarter of a circle is drawn. The

effect should look like someone is drawing the curve with the pen on the

screen. Shape tweening unfortunately doesn't do the trick, because the

moving end of the curve moves in a straight line between its initial and

final position, instead of describing the desired curve. Shape hints are not

doing the trick, either. Any suggestions, apart from breaking the curve in

many small segments and drawing them consecutively, without any tweening?

Take a look at www.eurorunner.com/flash/ if you did not understand my

description of the problem. They're drawing the "@" sign there.

Thanks,

Calin
