Does anyone know how to build the animated grid at the **very**  **beginning** of this scene?  
[http://www.a4flash.com/design/viewtype2.php?id=MTA004](http://www.a4flash.com/design/viewtype2.php?id=MTA004)  
Would this be created with actionscript? I can do it as a timeline animation but I’m trying to spread my wings and get beyond the basics. Unfortunately, I also have a deadline!  
I’ve seen some threads about fading grids but they seem to apply to square grid areas not rectangle like this.  
I started playing with a source I found on one of the threads. The mask was originally a circle but when I changed it to a square, the squares became distorted.  
Thanks in advance!
