rgb:Number - A hexadecimal color value of the line; for example, red is 0xFF0000, blue is

0x0000FF, and so on. If a value isn't indicated, Flash uses 0x000000 (black).

alpha:Number - An integer that indicates the alpha value of the line's color; valid values are 0

to 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.

pixelHinting:Boolean - Added in Flash Player 8. A Boolean value that specifies whether to

hint strokes to full pixels. This value affects both the position of anchors of a curve and the

line stroke size itself. If a value is not indicated, Flash Player does not use pixel hinting.

noScale:String - Added in Flash Player 8. A string that specifies how to scale a stroke. Valid

values are as follows:

■ "normal" Always scale the thickness (the default).

■ "none" Never scale the thickness.

■ "vertical" Do not scale thickness if object is scaled vertically only.

■ "horizontal" Do not scale thickness if object is scaled horizontally only.

capsStyle:String - Added in Flash Player 8. A string that specifies the type of caps at the

end of lines. Valid values are:

"round", "square", and "none". If a value is not indicated,

Flash uses round caps.

For example, the following illustrations show the different

capsStyle settings. For each

setting, the illustration shows a blue line with a thickness of 30 (for which the

capsStyle

applies), and a superimposed black line with a thickness of 1 (for which no

capsStyle

applies):

jointStyle:String - Added in Flash Player 8. A string that specifies the type of joint

appearance used at angles. Valid values are:

"round", "miter", and "bevel". If a value is not

indicated, Flash uses round joints.

For example, the following illustrations show the different

capsStyle settings. For each

setting, the illustration shows an angled blue line with a thickness of 30 (for which the

jointStyle applies), and a superimposed angled black line with a thickness of 1 (for which

jointStyle applies):
