I’m new so please bear w/ me…  
On the main stage i have a movie clip that contains a movie clip that contains a bitmap (\_root.movieclip1.movieclip2.bitmap). The actions for the instance of movieclip2 cause the bitmap to follow a sine wave path across the stage.  
I’d like to draw a line behind the bitmap, so I created another movieclip on the main stage that has these actions:

onClipEvent (load) {  
moveTo (##x and y positions from other movieclip##);  
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
lineStyle (5, 0xff00ff, 100);  
lineTo (##x and y positions from other movieclip##);  
}

the timeline only has one frame (can this be done with only one frame??)  
anyway, I’m lost and would appreciate some help, thanks in advance.
