MovieClip.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();
}
