I recently recieved a project where my task is to use the logo (the lines within the flash-file) and animate them to ressemble a wave (or flock of birds, view movie).
Is there any automized way I can achieve this (or similar) effect in Flash? Or in any other program?
This project is due next week so I’d really appreciate (please please please) the help if you know how!
Thanks in advance.

You’d have to use the Drawing API and some pretty intense math to do this. I can’t tell you how to accomplish this exactly but a good starting place would be the book Foundation Actionscript Animation: Making Things Move by Keith Peters:

(I have the AS2 version but there’s now an update for AS3 if you need that.) It goes into detail on how to draw lines programmatically using AS. That’s a tough task…wish I could give you more help but I’m just starting to learn those techniques. Good luck!
