What i want to do is, draw a line starting at the top of the frame, and it goes to the right of the screen circles around and ends up off the frame at the bottom right of the screen.
I want the line to follow more like a trail…As if it was being drawn…
Any suggestions…TY

No…it would be in the design of the site used during the splash intro, ans maybe as a transition between pages i will try to find an example…
