Default virtual lathe (Flash)

Hi,

I've been playing around with Flash, making a "virtual lathe". My main goal was
to play with Flash, not necessarily make a useful program, but I'm thinking it
might be helpful as a visualization aide. It's still a work in progress. I was
hoping to get some suggestions/feedback before completing it.

I'd noted some limitations thus far: save and load don't work yet (clicking them
freezes the program), cutting starts immediately without user intervention (I'll
add a tool later), you can't get a perfect 90 degree (or less) cut, you can't
cut any extra off the left or the right sides (all you can do is make it very
thin), printing design with a black background hurts the pocketbook

Use your cursor to work from the bottom of the rectangle. I'd appreciate any
suggestions.

Thanks,
Shawn
