Usage
my_mc.lineStyle([thickness:Number[, rgb:Number[, alpha:Number]]]) : Void
Parameters
An integer that indicates the thickness of the line in points; valid values are 0 to
thickness

of less than 0 is passed, Flash uses 0. The value 0 indicates hairline thickness; the maximum
thickness is 255. If a value greater than 255 is passed, the Flash interpreter uses 255.

rgb
If a value isn't indicated, Flash uses 0x000000 (black).
An integer that indicates the alpha value of the line's color; valid values are 0–100. If a
alpha

greater than 100, Flash uses 100.
Returns
Nothing.

You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass. For
more information, see "Assigning a class to a movie clip symbol" in Using ActionScript in Flash.

The following code draws a triangle with a 5-pixel, solid magenta line with no fill:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle_mc", 1);
triangle_mc.lineStyle(5, 0xff00ff, 100);
triangle_mc.moveTo(200, 200);
triangle_mc.lineTo(300, 300);
triangle_mc.lineTo(100, 300);
triangle_mc.lineTo(200, 200);
