isn’t that done with a bunch of clips that duplicate inside another movieclip, and then masks the original image?

There’s probably a quicker way to do it though, I’ve seen it a couple of times before.

It’s basically an animation of circles used as a mask over the original image… your layers would look like this:

Mask layer (animating circles)  
– masked layer (second image)  
Image layer (first image)

So as the animation plays it reveals the second image. It gets a little tricky when you want to go back and forth though.
