Hi everybody,

I need to draw a line that would be in one of the extremes fixed to permanent coordinates, while the other extreme will vary according to another Movieclip’s position. I think I could do that with Drawing API, but I haven’t been able to find out how. Below is the code that I have created. In it, when I drag the second movieclip, the API keeps drawing lines; but I want to have one line changing the lenght and coordinates or the extreme tide to the second mc.

Can anyone help me?  
Thanks a lot.

```auto

this.createEmptyMovieClip("dada_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
dada_mc.lineStyle(0, 0xFF0000, 100);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	dada_mc.lineTo(caca_mc._x, caca_mc._y);
};
caca_mc.onPress = function() {
	startDrag(this);
};
caca_mc.onRelease = function() {
	stopDrag();
};

```
