At [http://www.xiaoxiaomovie.com/movie/xxiao06.swf](http://www.xiaoxiaomovie.com/movie/xxiao06.swf)  
after the stick figure walks past the words xiaoxiao in blue, how would I achieve the lighting effect that passing over the letters? I’m sure it’s a mask but don’t know how to achieve this effect?

Thanks
