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: .
