Thank you for providing this class, I had to draw loads of wegdes lately.
Now I’m using drawLine, but the “length” parameter doesn’t function like I expected. I rewrote your function like this:
public static function drawLine( … ) : void {
target.moveTo( x, y );
switch (direction) {
case DrawingShapes.HORIZONTAL_LINE :
target.lineTo( x + length, y );
break;
case DrawingShapes.VERTICAL_LINE :
target.lineTo( x, y + length );
break;
}
}

Drawing is much faster and takes up less memory. Lots of assets bog down your application. http://www.funky-monkey.nl/blog/2010/04/20/drawing-shapes-in-as3-a-class-to-draw-an-arc-star-gear-co...
