Hi All

I have an example of the script I have written bellow which will produce a box on the stage starting a 0,0

My question is, If I wanted to make the lines draw on stage slowly over a spacific time frame so that the end viewer would see the lines being drawn, is there a way of doing it in AS?

[AS] \_root.createEmptyMovieClip (“box”, 1);  
with (\_root.box){  
lineStyle (5, 0x00000, 100);  
moveTo (0, 0);  
lineTo (200,0);  
lineTo (200, 200);  
lineTo (0, 200);  
lineTo (0, 0);  
}  
[/AS]
