Two problems, related to the preloader tween tutorial.

1. How can I make the load bar move more smoothly, like with easing?
2. Look at this sample:

It’s supposed to be a loadbar for this tutorial, but I don’t know how I can mask out the mask that is over the bar. Or smt like that :\> I hope that you’ll understand.

thx.
