I am trying to have a line draw in my movie with actionScript…

have made three lines…  
if I want line 1 to draw… then… line 2… then line 3

do I put the script on three separate frames ?

and… right now… they are just there…  
how do I make it like an animation… where the line starts at the edge of my movie… draws line 2… changes direction… draws line 2… changes direction… draws line 3… then stops.
