Use a shape tween rather then a motion tween. Just make two keyframes about

10 frames apart from each other. In the first keyframe draw your line (don't

make it a symbol!), in the second keyframe right click on the line and scale

it however you want it, then apply a shape tween to the first Keyframe.


Good Luck
