Hi all,

I’m trying to produce a movie where a line draws between the dots, like a join the dots game. At the moment I’m using a loop with API which works fine but you carn’t see the line drawing. What a really need is way to draw the line between the dots without using tweens, cos I got a lot of them to do.

```auto

var theDepth = 1;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", theDepth);
line_mc.lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 70);
line_mc.moveTo(eval("dc"+theDepth+"_mc")._x, eval("dc"+theDepth+"_mc")._y);
for (i=theDepth; i<=5; i++) {
	line_mc.lineTo(eval("dc"+i+"_mc")._x, eval("dc"+i+"_mc")._y);
}

```
