1 pxl pen down
When I pen down on a one pixel sprite, on offline, the puny dot looks fine, on flash, its a lot lighter.
is this a glitch? i heard that flash automaticly fades sides of pen marks to make it smoother and that is might be causing the problem? thanks!

Re: 1 pxl pen down
Yup, what you're seeing is called "anti-aliasing". Remember, pen marks are circular, not square, so the mark is smaller than the pixel itself. This causes Flash to create a semi-transparent pixel. 
The "size" of the pen actually determines it's diameter.

But if it is 1 pixel it can't be circular because it would have to fill the pixel because it can't get any more detailed.

I know, I was talking about the vector that is rendered to calculate the color displayed by the pixel.

Thanks for the info!
