To set different caps styles:
1. Create a new Flash document and save it as capsstyle2.fla.
2. Add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:
var lineLength:Number = 100;
// round
this.createEmptyMovieClip("round_mc", 10);
round_mc.lineStyle(20, 0xFF0000, 100, true, "none", "round");
round_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
round_mc.lineTo(lineLength, 0);
round_mc.lineStyle(0, 0x000000);
round_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
round_mc.lineTo(lineLength, 0);
round_mc._x = 50;
round_mc._y = 50;
var lbl:TextField = round_mc.createTextField("label_txt", 10, 0, 10,
lineLength, 20);
lbl.text = "round";
var lineLength:Number = 100;
// square
this.createEmptyMovieClip("square_mc", 20);
square_mc.lineStyle(20, 0xFF0000, 100, true, "none", "square");
square_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
square_mc.lineTo(lineLength, 0);
square_mc.lineStyle(0, 0x000000);
square_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
square_mc.lineTo(lineLength, 0);
square_mc._x = 200;
square_mc._y = 50;
var lbl:TextField = square_mc.createTextField("label_txt", 10, 0, 10,
lineLength, 20);
lbl.text = "square";
// none
this.createEmptyMovieClip("none_mc", 30);
none_mc.lineStyle(20, 0xFF0000, 100, true, "none", "none");
none_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
none_mc.lineTo(lineLength, 0);
none_mc.lineStyle(0, 0x000000);
none_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
none_mc.lineTo(lineLength, 0);
none_mc._x = 350;
none_mc._y = 50;
var lbl:TextField = none_mc.createTextField("label_txt", 10, 0, 10,
lineLength, 20);
lbl.text = "none";
The preceding code uses the Drawing API to draw three lines, each with a different value
for capsStyle.
