Something to keep in mind is that converting a cubic to a quadratic will
not always work; if the control points that lie off the locus are >= 90
degrees from centre.
I might be wrong, because I am basing it off just visually seeing how a
cubic's cage is put together; yet, I am pretty sure what I say is
logical. Maybe you can break down the cubic in my above case into two
quadratics; however, doing this could prove tricky.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Partially drawing a graphic?
Hey, Flash Coders! Wondering if you can help me out with a little problem
I'm working on...
- I have a complicated piece of vector art in my Flash file.
- I'm basically trying to find a way to "partially" draw it. That is, out
of
the 2000 curves that are in my piece of art, I'd like to randomly draw 50%
of them, and then people can guess what the original piece of art was.
- Speed and elegant coding aren't a primary concern here. It's just a
prototype.
Any ideas of how to do this?
I was hoping I could find some sort of function that would let me iterate
through each curve in my original piece of art, and then I could randomly
decide whether or not to draw each curve into a new graphic, but I can't
seem to find anything like that. If anybody has any clever suggestions,
I'd
love to hear 'em...
