to draw in an swf like you have a sketch pad is one of the features of mk.
All you have to do is instantiate an MKshape_container class and populate it using its several drawing methods. It supports simple primitives such rectangles, circles and ellipses, single straight/bezier line and little bit more complex figures such are irregular shapes, polygons and stars.
You may add fill color style and line width/color, gradient fills and bitmap fills that you have seen in sample #07.

The concept behind drawing in mk is simple (at least it is what I hope), but there are some issues related to the way that flash supports fills and line styles.
When drawing you must add a fill style o line style or both. Next drawing shape you will add (all mk drawing methods begin with "add_") will use last fill/line settings. In the next sample #09 we will see how to draw many "holed" figures.
