Draw a line?

[Ullis]

I would appreciate some help here, I can not figure out how to make my figure draw a line. I can make her finger follow a path - line, but how do I make that drawn line visible as she makes it?

 

 

I would be very happy if someone could direct me to some information about how to do this.

There are several ways you can approach drawing lines in A:M.

Here is a discussion that covers some ways others have done it before.

 

In the discussion Nancy links to a tutorial by Darrin Mossor wherein he accomplishes writing with particle sprites.

That represents what I'd call the classic approach.

Note: At the bottom of the tutorial he provides a project file to explore.
