Hello all,

This is my first post in this forum, so I should let you know that I know absolutely nothing about flash, but I can figure things out if I take it slow.

Heres what I wanna do.

I need to make a chalkboard. When somebody clicks on a link at the bottom of the same flash file, I would like an eraser to come, erase the current text, and then a piece of chalk comes and quickly scribbles accross the board revealing the text for the link that was clicked.

Heres another way to put it

\>Chalkboard with text\>Click next page (link)\>Eraser erases text\>Piece of Chalk scribbles across board\>revealing the text for the next page.

Thanks in advance!
