lineStyle (MovieClip.lineStyle method)
public lineStyle(thickness:Number, rgb:Number, alpha:Number,
pixelHinting:Boolean, noScale:String, capsStyle:String,
jointStyle:String, miterLimit:Number) : Void
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() set the line style back to undefined.
You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Parameters
thickness:Number - 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:Number - 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: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.

Example
The following code draws a triangle with a 5-pixel, solid magenta line with no fill.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle_mc", 1);
triangle_mc.lineStyle(5, 0xff00ff, 100);
triangle_mc.moveTo(200, 200);
triangle_mc.lineTo(300, 300);
triangle_mc.lineTo(100, 300);
triangle_mc.lineTo(200, 200);
