I want to make a short line, which follows a special way and gets longer…  
How do you do something like that ?

You mean turn or something?

If the line was constant, and turning I would make a MC. Draw it by using the onion skin you can see the last frames. And draw it frame by frame. Takes a long time, but if you work with it will look rather good.

If the line is to go on a straight line I would just AS to scale it either X or Y.

Hm, I mean something different.  
For example when you look at [http://www.intellipage.com/](http://www.intellipage.com/)  
when the menu builds, you see the 2 blue things coming from left and right. How can you make stuff like that?

Actually i just want to know how it is prinicple working. Is it made with Masks? So that they line is their all the time and the mask is a gradient and moves ?
