I'm tooling around with an idea for a Flash game, but I've encountered a snag. I can't figure out how to get Flash to place segmented graphics along a pre-defined path at runtime. Anyone know what classes I should look at?

making a preloader or something?
just convert to symbol, place them where you want and adjust the alpha from 0 to 100% in the frames you want them to appear in.

That's not exactly what I have in mind. Say it's a game where you design roller coasters. The same function I need would enable the player to draw a line, flash would then dynamically place the track graphics along that line to create the static track layout.

hmmm... you may have to settle for a grid system. flash can do alot, but im not sure you want to use it for that sort of thing.

Probably a grid system would be best. Otherwise, you'd have to do a lot of calculations and shit to figure out where and what pieces to put on a predefined line.
