Set line's angle and width between dots

I made a small project about creating sprite between 2 points. Now I need your help to set the width of this sprite and the angle from first dot to the second one.

.capx

I made some small changes, like changing the origin of the line to left, and using two objects instead of an instance variable (easier in this case, in my opinion).

My suggestion: LineBetweenDots.capx

Big thanks!!

If you do not mind, can you help me with something else?

I need to make this line not to get over some area like on the screen:

Any suggestions?

Hmm, I can't think of a way to make a line like image 2, if the player tried to do like in image 1. I'll think about it though.

Would testing to see if the cursor is inside the box be good enough?

Like this: LineBetweenDotsBox.capx

Here's another approach to clipping a line to a box:

Also an alternative solution would be to use math to find the intersections between the line and the sides of the box.
