Hi,

I am trying to create a small application where users drag a number of MCs around and where a line is drawn to each one when an MC is released. Now, I would like to change the look of the line so that it appears to be ‘dotted’, is this even possible?

This is my code so far:

```
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] drawthem[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]

```
