drawing line with actionscript

[Theo Kleuskens]

Can someone tell me please how I can draw a line with actionscript that
grows longer but not wider.

For example from coordinate 0,0 to 200,400.

Let's say you want to draw that line into the _root clip (remember the
point of origin is in the upper left corner):

// set the line style (5 pixel, red, 25% opacity)
_root.lineStyle(5, 0xFF0000, 25);
// move the "pencil" to the start position (x, y)
_root.moveTo(0, 0);
// draw the line (from the start position)
_root.lineTo(200, 400);
