Drawing a line runtime with the drawing API:

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip (“line”,1);  
// with set color 0x000000 :  
lineStyle (2, 0x000000, 100);  
…  
but after the line is draw, want to change the color of “line”  
The:  
mYColor = new Color(line);  
//mYColor = new Color(\_root.line);  
myColor.setRGB(0x00FF00);

is not working, for this ☹

Is there any other way to change the color or need to draw again the line?
