Flash animation -working with the brush tool

[cammi]

Hi guys,

I've been working on an animation project and I just can't get my head around the brush tool. What's the deal with it? All I want is a nice, sharp, constant line and all I get is a complete random line modulation. It's so damn frustrating! I tried everything: pressure, no pressure, tilt, no tilt, smoothing from 0 to 100 and still nothing.
Ok then, so the brush tool ain't that great, But, the thing is that I've seen so many flash animations with such an amazing line and I can't stop wondering: how do they do it?! How much time do they spend on each frame to make it look like that?
Does anybody else have the same problems? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If you use a drawing pad with pressure sensitivity, you should be able to control the lines with less random line thickness.
