Adobe ActionScript and advanced graphics

I am a beginner in Adobe ActionScript and I want to know if such a programming language has the ability to create the complexe graphics suc开发者_C百科h as béziers, splines, gradient fills and more.

As3 supports gradient fills, but as far as curves go, currently there is support for quadratic cuves, although Flash Player 11 will support cubic curves by default in the drawing API.

Still, there are free libraries like Degrafa that are more feature rich (beziers/splines/etc)
