Hi everyone - my first post! Hope you can help.  
I am trying to create an effect like seen on a developing Polaroid picture. So, my blank “Polariod” image would be imported from Photoshop into Flash. How then would I make the picture develop in Flash? A simple fade tween wouldn’t look like a Polaroid - any ideas?  
Thanks in advance!
