got my head clear

Its funny how i screwed around with one little piece of math yesterday and couldn't figure it out. I was under a tight deadline and i had 4 different things to work on. But this ONE thing, i couldn't make it work. (in flash) Draw a thick line between two points, and continually follow the mouse as if is painting a line. Well you can't use a line thickness and just do it that way. That's because the line is actually a mask and will reveal another layer of artwork. So i need to calculate the angle of the line being drawn, and then draw a outline of the shape mathematically. So i sturggled with it yesterday and did a half ass job because i was under pressure to just get it done. So todayi go back to the code to update it. It needs to be done RIGHT this time. So in about 20 minutes i rewrite the entire thing.

Well i guess it helps that i'm sitting at home with my music playing loud and nothing to disturb me.
