Trying to draw a simple rectangle dynamically and progressively using the drawing API.

I found senoculars awesome function, but it only works on objects of equal sides.

Can I modify this to make it work?

```auto
// square
createEmptyMovieClip('square',20);
square.time = 0;
square.speed = .01;
square.style = [1, 0xFFFFFF, 20];
square.anchors = [
    [1,1],
    [1,299],
    [299,299],
    [299,1]
];
square.onEnterFrame = drawShape;

```

Making those values Rectangular breaks the shape.

TIA!!! 🙂
