Just as I thought.. Whoever thought that up should have a good
spanking! It might be sufficient for small movieclips, but it's quite
noticable with large movieclips such as a page in my application that
measures almost half of the Stage.
Makes me wonder though; how about a line being drawn at such an angle?
Will that line be capped as well? -probably not- I'm reluctant to
change my application so that each page, shadow and mask will be drawn
each frame instead of attaching once and rotate them each frame since
this will be a enormous extra strain on the CPU.
I'd like everyones creative input on this subject!
Thanks,

As I understand it, flash is limited to rotating objects in steps of 0.1
degrees.
