hi! i am feel my newbieness out in the open here, and i know that most forum users don’t waste their time on people such as i, but if just one you could answer that would be terrific. i am wondering if there is a tutorial or easy explanation for “faking” the animation of an already drawn image in flash, i.e. i’ve drawn a line based image, scanned it, imported onto the stage and now i want to recreate the process of drawing the image, one line at a time, so to speak. hmm. my experiences with the eraser tool and a filled rectangle was a complete and utter disaster. thanks for the help,

love matthew
