Hi,

i know how to draw a grid using graphics methods but unfotunately, i’m not about to see it if i want to draw it on a particular movieclip.

on the stage it works perfectly.

what should i do ?

here is the code :

```auto

DrawGrid();
trace("line drew");

function DrawGrid():void
{
    var row:int = 8;
    var column:int = 15;
    var i:int;
    var j:int;
    
    
    for(i=0;i<row;i++)
    {
        MovieClip(iPhoto).graphics.lineStyle(1,0xffffff,0.3);
        MovieClip(iPhoto).graphics.moveTo(0,i*40);
        MovieClip(iPhoto).graphics.lineTo(600,i*40);
    }
    for(j=0;j<column;j++)
    {
        MovieClip(iPhoto).graphics.lineStyle(1,0xffffff,0.3);
        MovieClip(iPhoto).graphics.moveTo(j*40, 0);
        MovieClip(iPhoto).graphics.lineTo(j*40,320);
    }
}

```

iPhoto is a movieclip that has 5 keyframes and on each a different photo.  
so each 5 second it changes keyframe value to show it on the stage.

thanks a lot,  
A.
