color=#0000ff size=2>You might want to look at arrowTo(x1,y1,x2,y2,[size],
[spread]) which conveniently connects two points with an arrow. Size and
spread are optional, but control the appearance of the arrowhead. Size is the
length of the arrow head from its tip to its base, spread is an angle in
radians that defines how sharp the arrow is. If you want to do this
calculation in degrees it would be:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry to post so many questions lately. Can
anyone enlighten me on the following?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found that I can draw an arrow with code, but I
can't find a list of the arguments the method takes. If I use the following
to create an arrow:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>arrow2.lineStyle(2,0xFF0000,100);</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>arrow2.drawArrow(100,100,300,10);</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get a red arrow that is 300 pixels long and 10
high, but it seems to start at x=0 y=0, no matter what I use for the first
two arguments, even if I use empty strings in place of integers. And I
imagine there is an angle argument. Is there any documentation anywhere that
lists what these arguments are? I've been Googling all morning and haven't
found anything.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know I can use moveTo() and rotateTo() to
position the arrow, but it would be nice to know what arguments the method
takes, or where to look for this information.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks!</FONT> </P>
