Ok so I have this script:

[SIZE=1]_\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“line”,1);_[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1]\*\_root.onMouseDown = function(){  
line.moveTo(\_xmouse,\_ymouse);  
line.lineStyle(4,0x11FF11,100);  
this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
line.lineTo(\_xmouse,\_ymouse);

}  
}  
\_root.onMouseUp = function(){  
this.onEnterFrame = null;  
}\*[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1]_buttonErase.onPress = function(){  
\_root.line.clear();  
}_[/SIZE]
