I'm using AnimationPackage v2.0 within Flash CS3 and I noticed that you have not provided support for other lineStyle parameters like pixelHinting, noScale, capsStyle, jointStyle, and miterLimit for those of us publishing in Flash 8 or higher. Pixelhinting in particular is a problem for us because we are using RoundRectangle with a 1 pixel border and it tends to alias funny without pixelhinting set to true. In the flash gui it's called stroke hinting and it's just a checkbox available when you draw shapes.
Is there a way that this can be added by inheriting the native flash lineStyle parameters? Would it require a version tweak? Is there a likely time-frame that could be accomplished in?
Just for the record, our company uses your AnimationPackage a great deal and finds it to be extremely useful when designing flash applications that are dynamically skinned, or changed frequently based on dynamic content. You have done excellent work here and we greatly appreciate it. :)

great to hear your company finds AP useful! I think I've added the extended lineStyle support for the AS3 version of AP. You could look up the implementation there (should be all in the Shape base class) and apply it to your own version of AP. When it works for you, feel free to contribute it to the main branch of AP (send me an email as I've not setup AP for CVS yet here at SF. If there's a need for something like CVS on AP, meaning if there are actual contributors to AP other than me; then, I think I should definitely open it up. Unfortunately, I don't get time for AP anymore, so this step would make sense if others are still interested in progress.
