There's no way to do this completely accurately, because those shapes use cubic Bezier curves, while the curveTo function (and Flash's other drawing tools) use quadratics. However, you can make a first approximation version. In JSFL there is an edge.getControl() function which will tell you the position of the four control points of any contour edge. Loop through those for your shape, and you have the full data. To convert into quadratic beziers is fiddly, but you could make a first approximation by setting the quadratic control point to the average of the cubic one.
