Hi Gregory, Thanks for that. I am basically plotting/drawing a circle at each point the mouse moves to while clicked. (This isn't a paint package, it's for something else entirely - which is why I'm not drawing lines...)
I had already got as far as trying rectangles - they are indeed a lot faster, just not as pretty. :-) They are my fallback position if I can't get anything better to work. I can't quite see why the MovieClip option would work - but I'm willing to have a go. I'll let you know how it works out.
