So I would use a duplicate movie clip to make the lines?

Yeah, it would be a bunch of line segments connecting points on the graph...
if you do the incrementing small enough it will look realistic.

Peter,

Thanks for the input. That gives me a pretty good idea of how to do a line.
Any idea how to making the "graphing calculator" do curves?

Well.... Yeah. You could do it.

begin war story...

I put together a demo once of true draggable windows done with Flash,
to the point of when you started dragging the window, the contents
disappeared, and were replaced by lines that outlined the window. I
wanted the routine to be generic (work with any window size), so
I had to have arbitrary length lines generated in ActionScript. The
answer was to create a very tiny (1 pixel by 1 pixel) fill (not
line), then scale it in one direction by the length that I wanted
it to be.

...end war story.

To do a graphing calculator, you'd have to also rotate the line
in the direction you wanted it to go.

Note that I've also used this kind of technique with Generator. I
created a template that used the scaling to turn a spreadsheet
output from Microsoft Project into a Gant chart (complete with
current date bars, progress bars, etc, etc).
