I’m trying to create a mask effect where text appears with a kind of wipe effect. To do so I need to use shape tweens. But I never got those running. The arrow never appears and the tweens don’t work. I have no clue what I’m doing wrong, I tried the Macromedia tute provided in flash. But still.Doe anyone have a clue what I’m doing wrong?

Thnx in advance.
