having a trouble with this tutorial

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/shine.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/shine.htm)

I’ve basically downloaded the source files and then switched the rectangle shape for an image. That didn’t work as the image was a graphic where in the tutorial it was a shape. So I broke the graphic down until it was a shape but it still doesn’t work.

Anyone faced this problem before or does anyone have any ideas on what the solution maybe :beam:
