The PolyStar example

Included with this documentation is a sample Flash JSAPI script named PolyStar.jsfl. (You can
download the file at www.macromedia.com/go/jsapi_info_en.) This script replicates the PolyStar
tool that can be found in the Flash Tools panel. The PolyStar.jsfl file demonstrates how to build
the PolyStar tool using the JSAPI. It includes detailed comments that describe what the lines of
code are doing. Read this file to gain a better understanding of how the JSAPI can be used.
