Hello Bruno, Thank you for responding. I adapted your code and found my problem. I was misuderstanding the method closePathStroke() and was using it instead of just stroke(). Just for clarities sake, I am assuming this is true, but does moveTo() start a new path?
I was using the closePath() before to guarantee that stroking would not occur between 2 seperate lines I might draw, but now it makes sense to me that using the moveTo() would seperate the 2 lines.

As you can see, the example contains: cb.setLineDash(6, 0); cb.moveTo(40, 470); cb.lineTo(320, 470); cb.stroke(); cb.setLineDash(6, 3); cb.moveTo(40, 460); cb.lineTo(320, 460); cb.stroke(); These "line dash" definitions are reflected in this PDF: http://1t3xt.info/examples/results/in_action/chapter10/line_characteristics. pdf As soon as we can reproduce your problem, we can think of a solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
