Be aware, though, that the vertical line might well not give you the closest point on the curve. If you want to find the closest point on the bezier to a given point, that's a slightly different problem (for a quadratic bezier it amounts to solving a cubic equation) Best Danny _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
