Hi, I’ve been using flash for very basic purposes for years now, but am just recently starting to move towards more advanced flash movies.

There’s an effect that I’ve seen in several different places where people use animated sillhouettes. Kind of like the iPod Shuffle commercials.

What’s the best way of going about this?

Any help would be much appreciated.
