588 Chapter 7: ActionScript for Flash

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() will set the line style back to undefined.

You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass.

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);
