Hi

I was looking for a way to do simple shape tween to draw a line from point a to point b. I looked at the tweening class and couldn’t see anything that could help me.

So I did this: It works, but is there another easier way?? Will this type of code slow down swf playback?

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“line2”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
line2.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000, 100);  
line2.moveTo(17, 219);  
line2.lineTo(18, 219);

```auto

var i:Number = 18;
onEnterFrame = function()
{
   if(i < 100)
   {
      line2.lineTo(i, 219);
      i++;
   }
   else if(i > 100)
   {
      line2.stop();
   }
}
setInterval(onEnterFrame, 1000);

```

Does anyone have suggestions or am I making a non existent mountain out of a non existent anthill??

cheers for any ideas.
