Distort symbol in actionscript?

Hi all.

In the flash environment you can take a rectangle and distort it using the free transform tool. However, I can't seem to find this functionality in Actionscript. Can I do more then change the x and y scale in actionscript? Can I access the free transform tool from actionscript?

Thanks!

Does movieClip.transform get you what you need?

Well using the transform property requires Flash 8, and it can only do Rotation Scaling Movement and Skewing. But the so called distort cannot be done by AS nor by Flash Environment on Symbols, only on drawn shapes.

I wonder why you can't use distort on symbols? Would it have to do with memory allocation, or something else? Too bad...if I could distort a symbol it would make my life easier!
