Trouble with line drawing

[Razzi_A]

Can somebody help me figure out why this isn't drawing a line? The code is in frame 1 by itself, and I'm not getting any errors.

var brownLineDraw:Shape = new Shape();

brownLineDraw.graphics.lineStyle(12, 0x352000, 1);

brownLineDraw.graphics.moveTo(100, 100);

brownLineDraw.graphics.lineTo(200, 200);

Thanks!

I figured it out, you have to add the line to the stage using, in this case:

this.addChild(brownLineDraw);

Hooray!

However I have a new problem: the line is supposed to follow things on the stage, and every frame, it makes a new line. Does anybody know how to prevent this?

By default a movieclip will loop. You just need to put a stop(); in the frame script (anywhere) to tell Flash not to run the code over and over.
