I was messing with drawPath() today and did this snippet as a sort of performance test… the code isn’t fully optimized but it’s clear that drawPath() is rather fast. I wish that there were beginFill() and lineStyle() drawing commands that worked with it though… oh yeah, that’s what IGraphicsData is for…
