So here’s one for all you experts out there…

Let’s say I draw a line in AS3:

```auto

var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

container.addChild(line);
addChild(container);

line.graphics.lineStyle(3, 0x0000FFFF);
line.graphics.moveTo(200, 50);
line.graphics.lineTo(250,50);

```

Can I move **JUST** the starting point or the ending point? Something like this:

```auto

.
.
.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveIt);

function moveIt(e:Event):void {

line.startingPoint.x -=5;

}

```

Thoughts?
