I've built a few drawing tools in the past but this one is really fluid and seems to be done with the drawing API instead of just attaching clips to the stage.

Does anyone know where I could learn to build one like this. Any good resources?

Am i the only one that thinks the drawing thing is cool, but utterly pointless in this context?

That's cool.
Something that will draw fluid lines. Something that is fun but also a good basis for a collaboration tool.

the trick to the fluid lines is to draw points along the mouse positions.. and create a midpoint between last mouse position and current position. then use that midpoint as an anchor in your curveTo rather than lineTo.
hard to verbalise but I've achieved great lines this way.

it's only pointless out of context. it was probably an exercise to work with the drawing API. i've used a similar exercise in a banner where the client wanted it to be an interactive black board.
pong, tetris, photo galleries... they're all pointless out of context.
