// First I create a clip that will hold
// my line (it could be the _root)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder”,1);
// I define the style of the line
// 1: thickness
// 0x000000: color (white)
// 100: alpha
holder.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
// I put the pen at (150,200)
holder.moveTo(150,200);
// I draw a line to the point (300,200)
holder.lineTo(300,200);
