parent movie clip of the control point.

Description
Method; draws a curve using the current line style from the current drawing position to
(anchorX, anchorY) using the control point specified by (controlX, controlY). The current
drawing position is then set to (
anchorX, anchorY). If the movie clip you are drawing in contains
content created with the Flash drawing tools, calls to
curveTo() are drawn underneath this
content. If you call curveTo() before any calls to moveTo(), the current drawing position
defaults to (0, 0). If any of the parameters are missing, this method fails and the current drawing
position is not changed.
