I have written a scribe program. But its not functioning accordingly. i want it to work in such a way , when a user scribbles something on the screen, the image shd be visible for a stipulated amount of time and then it should disappear gradually after the timer is over.

var pt2:Point = pts.shift();  
graphics.moveTo(pt1.x,pt1.y);

graphics.lineStyle(3,0xFFFFFF);  
graphics.lineTo(pt2.x,pt2.y);cnt++; pt1 =pt2;  
}  
trace(“CT”+cnt);  
}

Wats the error over here ?
