A new method available for \s-1SWF\s0 version >=8 setting shape's line width and color (\s-1RGBA\s0) with additional

If join style is \s-1SWF_LINESTYLE_JOIN_MITER\s0 a miter limit factor must be set. Miter max length is then calculated as:
max miter len = miter limit * width. If join style is not miter, this value will be ignored.

.IX Item "$shape->end()"
Stops drawing on this shape and make the shape complete.
Further method calls won't produce any lines, circles etc. 
By using this demo code later no circle is painted:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&        $shape\->drawLineTo(300,300);
\&        $shape\->end();
\&        $shape\->drawCircle(200);
.Ve
.ie n .IP "$shape\fR\->drawGlyph($font, \f(CW$cnumber\fR [, \f(CW$size])" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$shape\fR\->drawGlyph($font, \f(CW$cnumber\fR [, \f(CW$size\fR])" 4
.IX Item "$shape->drawGlyph($font, $cnumber [, $size])"
Draws character of \f(CW$cnumber\fR of \f(CW$font\fR. Also Unicode fonts are possible, if the font does provide that, just like next example:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&        $font=new SWF::Font("Thai\-Bold.fdb");
\&        $sh\->drawGlyph($font, 0x0E44, 44);
.Ve
.ie n .IP "$shape\->drawCharacterBounds($character)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$shape\fR\->drawCharacterBounds($character)" 4
.IX Item "$shape->drawCharacterBounds($character)"
Draws an outer rectangle fitting for \f(CW$character\fR, an object of SWF::Character.
.ie n .IP "$shape\->setRenderHintingFlags(flags)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$shape\fR\->setRenderHintingFlags(flags)" 4
.IX Item "$shape->setRenderHintingFlags(flags)"
Set render hinting flags. Possible values are 
	SWF::Constants::SWF_SHAPE_USESCALINGSTROKES and
	SWF::Constants::SWF_SHAPE_USENONSCALINGSTROKES
.Sp
This method also will set version of this SWF::Shape object to 4.
