Hi im wondering if anyone could help me, im trying to create a drawing api where you can draw something but then what u have drawn gets repeted alongside the original line using the data outputted in an array. this is what i have got so far

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“linedrawer”, 1);  
var mydrawing = new Array();  
trace((mydrawing)+30);  
\_root.onMouseDown = function(){  
linedrawer.moveTo(\_xmouse,\_ymouse);  
linedrawer.lineStyle(5, 0xFF0000,(100));

this.onMouseMove = function(){  
linedrawer.lineTo(\_xmouse,\_ymouse);  
mydrawing.push(\_xmouse,\_ymouse);  
updateAfterEvent();  
}  
}  
\_root.onMouseUp = function(){  
this.onMouseMove = null;  
trace(mydrawing);  
}

Thanks
