d'oh ...

Just realised what they meant by mixing with a texture ..

xml...

<Texture parentKey="Background" mixin = "LineMixin">

And then I removed the CreateFromMixins line from the code element... it fixes the GetParent error but now getting problems figuring out what values will work.


Edit: Well no errors at all now - here is my xml file now

<UI>
    
        <Frame name="DraggingFrame" inherits = "DraggableFrameTemplate,DialogTemplate"   parent="UIParent" frameStrata="LOW">

                        </Texture>
                    </Layer>

                    <OnLoad>
                        self.Line:SetStartPoint(0,0)
                        self.Line:SetEndPoint(100,100)
                        self.Line:SetThickness(32)
                        self.Line:Draw()
                    </OnLoad> 
               </Scripts>
            </Frame>
        </Frames>
        
        <Scripts>
            <OnLoad>
                self:RegisterForDrag("LeftButton")
            </OnLoad> 
       </Scripts>
    </Frame>

</UI>

I have tried everything that I thought would make it show up but no joy .. It might simply be due to my own understanding on how textures work
