There is a tutorial here: http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/advanced/Dynamic_masking_using_the_drawing_API/index.shtml
That allows your to reveal an object that is under a mask by waving a square atached to your mouse across the scene.
I really want to do the same thing, only instead of having a square atached to the mouse I would like to be able to animate my own symbol so that I can reveal a line (as if its being written).
Any Advice?
I am having trouble picking apart the action script. Its a little over my head.
thanks :afro:
