John--

Actually, you set the number of sides on a polygon by setting the polygon preferences object for the document before you create the polygon. Polygon preferences includes both the number of sides and the star inset value.

As Roberto notes, you can draw any shape by manipulating the path point locations, but, for regular polygons and star polygons, you might find working with polygon preferences a bit quicker.

I also have some generic n-sided polygon drawing code around somewhere--which gets around a problem with using geometric bounds to set polygon sizes. I'll dig it up and post it.

Thanks,

Ole
