Changing lineStyle

[carriker]

I'm dynamically creating a movie clip and drawing a line. After it's been drawn initially I would like to be able to change it's lineStyle during runtime. If I just call the lineStyle method on that MovieClip it doesn't seem to change the line. Is there a way to force the line to redraw, or do I manually have to clear the MovieClip and then call lineStyle, moveTo, lineTo, etc. and recreate the line?

i think the only way is to clear the movie clip, or remove it altoghether and re-create a new one. i cant seem to get it to work.

any visual change you want to make to something made from the drawing api would have to be cleared and redrawn.

you could probably build a class that does all this for you, and you could just pass it new parameters for the line style.

may be the best idea if your planning on doing this a lot in an app.

Thanks everybody. I guess re-creating the line isn't really that tough I was just hoping there was a simpler way.

its better that way. What if you want two lines with two different linestyles?
