Hey guys,

New to flash and I was wondering if anyone here knows how to animate a line drawing -to make it look like i put a pen on a sheet of paper and started to draw…!

I’m sure it may have been discussed here but I don’t know what you would call this type of animation.

Thanks for any help!

Zupr.
