Hi,
I am trying to make a smooth line animation for a solid and dotted line ( https://nofile.io/f/8b1eqis8Zlp/line+example.fla )
At the moment Im having to start new lines at each corner where the lines change direction, is there an easier way to achieve this effect, perhaps so i can just animate one path?

If you're using shape tweens and lines, then that's what you have to do. But you can keep all the connected lines on a single layer, if you add a separate Keyframe where a new line segment starts. So if you have one line segment that ends on Keyframe 30, then you want the next line segment to start on Keyframe 31.
Alternatively you could draw the entire line, and then use an animated movieclip as a mask, which over time reveals more and more of the line. Though I think that would make it more complicated, but if you want to know how you would do that, just let me know.
