So I’ve created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I’m trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player’s mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path

my code is below

```auto
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var clip:Shape = new Shape()
addChild(clip);

var mouse:Sprite = new Sprite
addChild(mouse);

ship1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, activate);

function activate (evt:MouseEvent) {
	stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drawLine);
}

function drawLine(evt:MouseEvent)
{

clip.graphics.moveTo(mouse.x, mouse.y);
clip.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
clip.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0xff9933);
mouse.x = mouseX
mouse.y = mouseY
}

```
