create object to scale based on users input 2

[thirtyottsixx]

I'm trying to create a virtual classroom in Flash MX. People will be able to drag and drop lab items into the room to create a classroom. I want to have 2 form fields for Width and Length of the room in feet. (1 square foot will be 9x9 pixels.) When visitors enter their room in width in feet and length in feet, I want the flash movie to show a rectangle to scale.

You can view a rough mockup diagram at this URL:

Can anyone help with this? I have had no success looking for help from other resources.

Thanks in advance.

lineTo(a*9,b*9);
lineTo(a*9,0);
lineTo(0,0);

hope this gets you on the right lines
