Hi All,

I am a total novice when it comes to flash. I have benefited immensely from the tutorials on this site, however I have a little problem that I need some help with…

How can I have flash produce a gradual outline of a circle around an object?

I have racked my brains and searched the net to no avail. Can anybody help?

I have another question about flipping symbols/text (to produce a mirror of the original; not shadow) but I will save that for another time.
