Drawing lines with the mouse

I've been scratching my head on this all morning. I've added rectangles to the stage at runtime via AS 3.0. I drag those rectangles elsewhere on the stage. Now I'd like to use some method to click on one of those rectangles and draw a line to anywhere else on the stage - ideally another rectangle. I thought about using RIGHT_MOUSE_UP and RIGHT_MOUSE_DOWN but those don't seem to work on the Mac using the magic mouse. It's treated as a left click. Anyone have any sample code that might do what I'm looking for?

Thanks!

sure:

var clickNum: int = 0;

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickF);

function clickF(e: MouseEvent): void {

with(this.graphics) {

lineStyle(1, 0xff0000);

if(clickNum % 2 == 0) {

moveTo(this.mouseX, this.mouseY);

} else {

lineTo(this.mouseX, this.mouseY);

}

clickNum++

}

are you asking about the graphics moveTo and lineTo or asking about right mouse events?

LineTo. For example, I move my mouse to a point on the canvas and click. Then I move the mouse to another point on the canvas and click and a line is drawn between the two points I clicked.

OR

Is it possible to dynamically draw a line between two objects on the canvas?
