Im using FLash MX 2004, and am creating lines using move to and lineto in an empty movie clip…is there a way to delete lines if a new one intersects, if theres an overlap…or if theres more than say 5 lines on the screen?

how do i reference individual lines? all i can do is clear the whole mc which is useless…:pirate3:

any help?
