No, there's no line drawing object. I was thinking of the main reason to use

trig functions. It's about determining angles, distances and lengths of the

sides of triangles. You could, of course, create your own "draw line"

functions using trig and the set property methods. You would then target

your own lines (made into movie clips) or whatever other kinds of content

you wish to plot, scale or whatnot.
