Using polygon as line and childControlNames

[Geoff Canyon]

I created a group and set this as the script:

on drawLine x,y,x1,y1,tColor
   lock screen
   set the style of the templateGraphic to polygon
   put x & "," & y & return & x1 & "," & y1 into tPoints
   create grc in me
   put the id of the last grc of me into tID
   set the foregroundColor of of grc id tID to tColor
   set the points of grc id tID to tPoints
   set the locked of grc id tID to true
   unlock screen
   put the childControlNames of me
end drawLine

Then this in the message box:

send "drawLine 1,1,50,200,blue" to grp 1

puts this:

graphic id 1008
