title: Flash IDE path to AS3
body: <p>Is there any easy way to get a path (a sequence of points) from the flash IDE into actionscript code?</p>
  
  <p>for example if you want to draw an outline for a gameworld that you want to use as collision object and now in AS3 you'd like to get the vertices of that path you drew.</p>
  
  <p>what i did so far was to create a lot of dummy movieclips, place them on the vertices of the drawin path and call them "dummy01", "dummy02", "dummy03" and so on, and then in AS i iterated over the children and rebuilt the path that way, but that's really ugly and i'm sure there must be a better way to do it.</p>
  
  <p>Any hints?</p>
