Get position from distances in a polyline

Hi everybody,

I´m developing an app. I draw a line in a map and I have an array with distances in meters. I need transform these distances into the polyline in points, and I don´t know do it.

I prepared next two functions. I use line and position as parameters in LRSLocatePoint. Line is my poliline and position is the distance value, but is not working.

function LRSLocatePoint(line, position) {
    require([
        "esri/geometry/Point"
    ],
        function (Point) {
            var curPos = 0;
            var point = false;
            var myspatialReference = line.spatialReference;
            var arraylinepaths = line.paths[0];
            for (var i = 0; i < arraylinepaths.length; i++) {
                lastPos = curPos;
                var position1 = new Point(arraylinepaths, myspatialReference);
                var position2 = new Point(arraylinepaths[i + 1], myspatialReference);

                curPos = curPos + esri.geometry.getLength(position1, position2);
                if (curPos > position) {

                    var posicionRelativa = (position - lastPos) / (curPos - lastPos);
                    point = LRSLocatePointOnSegment(
                               arraylinepaths,
          arraylinepaths[i + 1],
          posicionRelativa
                   );
                    break;
                }
            }
            return point;

        });

}


function LRSLocatePointOnSegment(point1, point2, position) {
    var point = false;
    if (position >= 0 && position <= 1) {
        x1 = point1.x;
        y1 = point1.y;
        x2 = point2.x;
        y2 = point2.y;
        x = x1 + (x2 - x1) * position;
        y = y1 + (y2 - y1) * position;
        var spatialReference = map.spatialReference;
        point = new esri.geometry.Point(x, y, spatialReference);
        console.log(point);
    }
    return point;
}

Help!!!!:confused: , thank you:D
