Hi fspaiva,

I recommend you read into FLash MX’s drawing API within Kirupa, and try some of the tutorials. To create the effect of the ‘growing line’ is in fact a little tricky for those who dont understand the drawing API. Also you can see I have used prototyping, this helps compact the code and make things a little more reusable.

Anyway here’s an example I have created. IF you dont understand it let me know and i’ll explain it when I have some more time…:thumb:
