[LEFT]Please help me understand guys…

I cant seem to understand the drawBox methods…

I have a button, and onPress the button trigger a shape which appears. How can i apply the tween values to a shape, made with the drawing API?

```auto
 
this.createEmptyMovieClip("squareClip",this.getNextHighestDepth());
 
with(squareClip){
   
lineStyle()
moveTo(x,y)
lineTo(x,y)
lineTo (x,y)
lineTo(x,y)l
ineTo(x,y)
 
 
}

```

With some correct data in the above code, how can i apply first a event function, so that the hole thing starts, after i pressed the button.

And the second: After click, i dont want the shape just to appear instantly, how can i apply a tween value to it?

So it bounces or scales from small to big…

```auto
 
var shapeTween:Tween = new Tween(null, "", Bounce.easeOut, 100, 0, 2, true);

```

Please advice…
