However, anyone that has been working with bezier curves in Illustrator or the Flash authoring tool is used to have two control points for each curve (or path). A quick search on wikipedia revealed that this is called a cubic bezier curve and demands an algorithm which unfortunately isn’t supported by the drawing API at the moment. Well, it’s just maths, right?

Linked to the wikipedia page was an excellent post by a guy named Paul Tondeur, who had converted the algoritm to Actionscript. With the help of two of these bad boys I created the effect below. Will do some more experimenting and maybe post some code later on.
