Canvas: Bezier animation curve

im trying to create a line crossing the canvas from left to right. im still at an early stage to achieve this, to do this using the following function for step by step animation

timer = window.setInterval(draw_line, 30);

my drawing function is like this

function draw_line()
    {
        context.fillStyle = "#000";
        context.fillRect(0, 0, canv.width, canv.height);

            context.beginPath();
        context.lineWidth = 2;
        context.strokeStyle = '#fff';

            //Where p1, p2, cp1, cp2 are point objects that has x & y values already defined    
        context.moveTo(p1.x, p1.y);
        context.bezierCurveTo(cp1.x,cp1.y,cp2.x,cp2.y,p2.x,p2.y);
        context.stroke();
        context.closePath();

            // now i have to move p1, p2 ,cp1,cp2
            // now here is my problem
    }

I understand that I need to move p1.x+= a random number;, as well as the same for cp1 and cp2, but what about p2 endpoint, it should follow the same path! how can i achieve this

thank

With your clarification, I think I can answer that now.

, , . http://jsfiddle.net/mobidevelop/bGgHQ/, , 16 , , , RingBuffer.

function RingBuffer(length) {
    this.length = length;
    this.pointer = 0;
    this.buffer = [];
}
RingBuffer.prototype.get = function(index) {
    if (index < 0) {
        index += this.length;        
    }
    return this.buffer[index];
}
RingBuffer.prototype.push = function(value) {
    this.buffer[this.pointer] = value;
    this.pointer = (this.length + this.pointer +1) % this.length;    
}

var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var context =c.getContext("2d");

timer = window.setInterval(draw_line, 30);
function Point(x,y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
}
Point.prototype.translateX = function(x) {
    return this.x += x;
};
Point.prototype.translateY = function(y) {
    return this.y += y;
};

function draw_line()
{
    context.fillStyle = "#000";
    context.fillRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height);

    var pointer = history.pointer;
    context.beginPath();
    context.lineWidth = 2;
    context.strokeStyle = '#F00';     
    for (iteration = 0, count = 15; iteration < count; iteration += 3) {
        var p1 = history.get(--pointer);
        var p2 = history.get(--pointer);
        var p3 = history.get(--pointer);
        var p4 = history.get(--pointer);        

        if (p1 && p2 && p3 && p4) {

            context.moveTo(p1.x, p1.y);
            context.bezierCurveTo(p2.x, p2.y, p3.x, p3.y, p4.x, p4.y);

        }
        pointer++;
    }
    context.stroke();
    context.closePath();    

}

var history = new RingBuffer(16);
var lastGrab = new Date();
c.addEventListener('mousemove', function() {
    now = new Date();
    if (now - lastGrab > 15) {
        history.push(new Point(event.clientX - c.offsetLeft, event.clientY - c.offsetTop)); 
        lastGrab = now;
    }    
});​

    p1.translateX(1);
    p2.translateX(1);
    cp1.translateX(1);
    cp2.translateX(1);

    if (p1.x > 300) {
        p1.translateX(-400);
        p2.translateX(-400);
        cp1.translateX(-400);
        cp2.translateX(-400);        
    }
}
