if you are referring to the “lighting” effect on the DUB LOGO, then its more than likely just a masked shape tween. Possible with ascript too, but easy as hell to do using a simple mask and a nice linear gradient tween. ---

There can be mane ways… AS can also be used but can get complex… easy way will be motion tweening and some keyframing. I dont have though much details on how to achieve that effect… But I would suggest understanding the motion u need. you can use pen tool to created a lightning branch then tween it as required. ---

looks like a 6 frame loop - imported pngs/gifs most likely. theflash is on the right track, if u have flash8, just freehand pentool the frames and and make a movieclip out of the sequence. add blur and glow to the mc and hey presto - lightning! ---

Ok, here: [http://home.kooee.com.au/peteang/dub.html](http://home.kooee.com.au/peteang/dub.html) [SOURCE - GOES DOWN IN 24HRS](http://home.kooee.com.au/peteang/dub_lightning.fla) Its a video file, made in After Effects. u could do it in flash8, and i bet the filesize difference would be massive(like vector flash8 file of 50k max compared to this size - 250k)
