How do you use the drawAPIs to make a link go from one point on the stage,to the mouse. i mean so that it updates, the line is constantly following the mouse.

```auto
mcToDrawIn.onEnterFrame = function(){
     this.clear();
     this.lineStyle(0,0,100);
     this.moveTo(x,y); // use desired starting location
     this.lineTo(this._xmouse, this._ymouse);
}

```
