MovieClip.lineTo

movieclip, movieclip.lineTo, lineTo

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

`myMovieClip``.lineTo (``x``,` `y``)`

Parameters

`x` An integer indicating the horizontal position relative to the registration point of the parent movie clip.

`y` An integer indicating the vertical position relative to the registration point of the parent movie clip.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Method; draws a line using the current line style from the current drawing position to (`x`, `y`); the current drawing position is then set to (`x`, `y`). If the movie clip that you are drawing in contains content that was created with the Flash drawing tools, calls to `lineTo` are drawn underneath the content. If you call the `lineTo` method before any calls to the `moveTo` method, the current drawing position defaults to (`0`, `0`). If any of the parameters are missing, this method fails and the current drawing position is not changed.

Example

The following example draws a triangle with no lines and a partially transparent blue fill.

    _root.createEmptyMovieClip ("triangle", 1);
    	with (_root.triangle){
    		beginFill (0x0000FF, 50);
    		lineStyle (5, 0xFF00FF, 100);
    		moveTo (200, 200);
    		lineTo (300, 300);
    		lineTo (100, 300);
    		lineTo (200, 200);
    		endFill();
    }
