Can anyone help me to draw a line from the bottom left corner of a movieclip to the mouse pointer. I need the line to be “elastic” because both the movie clip and the mouse pointer will be moving. I’ve tried various things with lineto but have failed to get the line to redraw and follow the pointer.

Any ideas?
