Hi, Im kinda new to Flash (not that new) but I i’ve been looking at a few website and I seen like some of the logos have like a quick shine moving along the text, like if you were to move your knife across a light. Can someone please help me, I really want to learn how to do that, I would appreciate it :thumb: .

This may not be the effect you want, but it sounds like it may fill the bill. I did this from a tutorial I downloaded. The original .fla and tutorial are on [FlashKit.com](http://FlashKit.com) \>Tutorials\>TextGlint. Look it up for better example and full explanation. Good luck
