Hi, I posted a simple drawing app tutorial a couple of years ago that you might check out. It has the basics in it like listening for mouse down/move/up events and causing drawing operations based on them. It's based on Flex 3, when drawing was a bit more involved than it is in Flex 4 - you have to create Flash DisplayObjects and issue graphics calls to them. In Flex 4 you could just use the Flex graphics primitives. But it's not too bad, and hopefully it'll help you get started:
These are the videos, but they reference earlier articles, and all the code/demos are in the various blog entries. http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/2008/06/video-top-drawer-part-i.html http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/2008/06/video-top-drawer-parts-ii-iii.html Good luck...

It doesnt have to always be 'in the lines' so a background image would be fine. That part is no problem... However I don't even know where to start on how to make a took that when the mouse button is depressed it starts to draw (or color) a line. Any ideas where I can get a tutorial or a source code block for that? Thanks!
