Unexpected line behavior

hopefully someone can help me on this, as I have been stuck for a couple of days trying everything I can think of to trouble shoot this problem, :q: any help would be appreciated :be:.

I have attached the .swf as the .fla is too large to post. If someone would like to really take a look at the code, I can email the .fla to them.

If you view the .swf, notice how the line moves; end following the front. Suddenly, a point decides to have a line drawn to it (this happens just as the end of the line stops moving around the center circle - moving straight to the next, smaller circle), and then the line draws back to the end of the movingLine.

This .swf/.fla is still in the midst of being modified. For example, the direction that the end of the line moves stops tracing the front of the line after the second curve. I still haven’t figured that one out yet either (doesn’t make sense as the x,y are both are being added by the same variables). And, I am planning on curving the line to move parallel to the bottom of the stage, as well as adding some other object that will appear to push the line as it become parallel.

So just to reiterate, my problem is with the unexpected point that the program draws a line to and from. I have been trying to isolate what is causeing this point, to no avail.

I’ve traced all the variables and believe that this is some sort of anomaly. Please prove me wrong, or help me find a work around!
