Should be something like:
class LineDragging extends UIComponent
{
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
startX = event.localX;
startY = event.localY;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,
mouseMoveHandler, true);
}
function mouseMoveHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
graphics.clear();
graphics.lineTo(startX, startY);
var pt:Point = new Point(event.stageX,
event.stageY);
pt = globalToLocal(pt);
graphics.moveTo(pt.x, pt.y);
}
}
