Images along a line

Calculate the delta x, y (final - initial)

For image = 1; image <= images; image++

Show image at x + (delta x * (image / images)), y + (delta y * (image / images))

Have been messing around with something like this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  onTimeOut();
function onTimeOut() {
  if (leftmousebutton) {
    temp.img = "wmace0.png";  //image to draw
    temp.distx = player.x - mousex;  //x distance
    temp.disty = player.y - mousey;  //y distance
    temp.lennew = (temp.distx^2 + temp.disty^2) ^ 0.5;  //length in tiles
    player.chat = temp.lennew;  //debug
    for(temp.i = 0; temp.i <= temp.lennew; temp.i++) {
      temp.indx ++;
      temp.newpos = temp.i/16*9;
      player.chat = newpos;
      with (findimg(200+temp.indx)) {
        x = player.x+temp.newpos;
        y = player.y;
        image = temp.img;
      }
    }
  }
  settimer(0.05);
} 


It seems to work, but it´s not exactly on the mousex. How could that get fixed?
