On the site at [www.subdisc.com](http://www.subdisc.com) , there is a really cool graphic effect when you change sections. The image in the window does this line by line formation that i actually had the idea of several weeks ago, but i had no idea how to do it as i’m not so good at doing my own action script. It’s obviously a vector image, and i doubt this could be done with bitmap ones-- but does anyone have an idea as to how to accomplish that effect? By the way i know i am a newbie on here-- but i have been watching these boards and using this site for about a month now and it’s been a tremendous help. I’m a graphic designer, not a programmer though-- even though i know a bit of Java, this coding can give me headaches. Thanks in advance for any ideas. ---

Try simply clicking on information, and enter your message asking if subdisc would mind giving you the source or just how they did it. 😊 ---

Well i guess i could do that, but i figured this is a place where people share ideas about this stuff, i wanted to keep from bothering them. ---

Ok I emailed the guy and he responded. All he said was that he used keyframes, and stretched the image frame by frame. So there’s no actionscipt involved at all. I guess that means that it’s more skill than anything as far as putting it together, and patience. Anyway i guess that answers my question. ---
