I've been doing alot of drawing within flash recently. I really like it for some reason, i can quickly throw an idea down and get a great result. I also love the way the lines makes a quick render as i draw (and then smoothing itself over after), is there any way that MoHo could do this?
Its would also prove useful for us pen tablet users, as seeing the line render as you go along can help control the line width with more control and accuracy.
Thanks
Drawing tool improvement?!

I had written a hack of the Freehand tool awhile ago to address this one. And it worked okay, basically creating the line as you go and making temporary shapes for each line segment as a new point was created. Good feedback for pen pressure and all, but it seemed that creating lots of new shapes on the fly was a little taxing so it ran slower than I found practically useful.
But I'm one helluva lot familiar with scripting now, and I figure I should dig that sucker up (if I can find it, it was before I was on this machine) and give it a tuneup.
If nothing else, I think I can whip up something that will force that ol' little read line when you are drawing to indicate pen pressure, and that might be enough for the moment. I just did a reinstall on my machine and it's not recognizing the pressure on the pen, but when I get that tuned up I'll let you know if it works. It's basically one extra line in the Freehand script.
