Coloring a line with Actionscript? PLEASE HELP ASAP!

[Fidelity88]

Im working on some actionscript drawing, right now Im drawing a curved line on a map to show a route for a shipping company, the line is red but I would like to color a portion of the line green for the completed portion of the journey. How would I do this?
If you have anymore Questions please ASK!
Thanks

my_mc.lineStyle([thickness:Number[, rgb:Number[, alpha:Number]]])

I did and couldnt find anything for partial line fill..

LOL, I should have read better :trout:

You can change linestyles, depending how your code is setted up.

and how would I go about doing that? For Example, color this line 50% green and 50% percent Red? Is that possible?
Thanks

To get an idea

var line = this.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 999);
var x = 0;
var y = 50;
var oldx = 0;
line.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);
line.onEnterFrame = function() {
x += 5;
this.moveTo(oldx, y);
this.lineTo(x, y);
oldx = x;
if (x>100) {
this.lineStyle(1, 0x00FF00);
}
};

hey man thanks! This helps A LOT! One other thing how would you do this with a curved line? Is that a possibility?

[Dutchy]

hi,

change lineTo to CurveTo and then you have a curve...

and this code that scotty used can just be pasted into the curved line code? I already have the curved line, I wsa just wondering how to implement it.
Thanks :D

Yes it should work the same for the curved line.

Dutchy has right, it depends how your code is setup, in my example it was easy to have an if statement:)
