public lineTo(x:Number, y:Number) : Void
Draws a line using the current line style from the current drawing position to (x, y); the
current drawing position is then set to (x, y). If the movie clip that you are drawing in contains
content that was created with the Flash drawing tools, calls to
lineTo() are drawn
underneath the content. If you call
lineTo() before any calls to the moveTo() method, the
current drawing position defaults to (
0,0). If any of the parameters are missing, this method
fails and the current drawing position is not changed.
You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Parameters
x:Number - An integer indicating the horizontal position relative to the registration point of
the parent movie clip.
y:Number - An integer indicating the vertical position relative to the registration point of the
parent movie clip.
Example
The following example draws a triangle with a 5-pixel, solid magenta line and a p artially
transparent blue fill:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle_mc", 1);
triangle_mc.beginFill(0x0000FF, 30);
triangle_mc.lineStyle(5, 0xFF00FF, 100);
triangle_mc.moveTo(200, 200);
triangle_mc.lineTo(300, 300);
triangle_mc.lineTo(100, 300);
triangle_mc.lineTo(200, 200);
triangle_mc.endFill();
