I’m a new to flash and I want to learn how to do a flash effect I saw on a web site - [http://www.pixelmill.net/examples/9/5723/](http://www.pixelmill.net/examples/9/5723/)

It looks like it should be easy to do but I just don’t have a clue as to how to do this. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or walk through that will show me how? Or have a sample fla file you could send me that does this so I could learn.

Thanks,

Greg

If you’re talking about what happens in the header with the white blocks, check out these:

I believe is motion tweening throughout that just loops. Remember to change your graphics to Movie Clips before making the tween. Then you can manipulate it however you want.
