Greetings, I am wondering about how I could make coulour flow through something in flash… wow that was a bad discription, lemme try again. For example say u have the word Welcome, and at first the letters have no fill, but then a colour shoots through them… I don’t think it could be done with text, maybe you have to create your own graphic that is the word… I donno, neway, if you can understand my tired ramblings give me a shout… thanks ---

Do you mean “color shoots through the text” Like it flies in from the left or somewhere? I’ve got feeling you’re talking about masking… ---

Ya I’m pretty sure it involves masking, and shape tweens… I’ll try to figure something out, I was just wondering if anyone had ever had any experience doing it and could help me with it. Ya I do mean shooting through the word;through each letter fast… and then moving to the next letter
