This is another "tracker": an outline that disappears once the mouse is released, just letting the user see the size and shape on a new movie clip called rectracker. This uses lineTo like the Line Tool, but like the Oval Tool it connects those lines to create a closed shape by starting at one point and the connecting the four points between the starting point and the ending position of the mouse to create a closed rectangle.
