simply update those variables:
public var _startX:Number = 250.0;
public var _startY:Number = 250.0;
public var _endX:Number = 10.0;
public var _endY:Number = 100.0;

and call the update() function when you want to render it.

I want to create this effect between two designated points in my flash movie. I have a firm grasp of flash and AS3, but I\’ve been looking to this code and this is a bit too much advanced for me. Is there a function in this class that could be called to do what I need, or is it much more complicated than that?
