Need to develop a similiar header to [http://www.sherylcrow.com](http://www.sherylcrow.com). When the first page loads, it appears to draw shapes, the winding effect that reveals a picture beneath it, is that a motion path? It looks like a combination of masking and motion. Can someone share with me how to accomplish this effect? Thanks in advance! Regards, Daniel ---

ah, sheryl crow, I love **some** of her music… anyways, all you need is an animated mask that moves to show more of the picture ---

Yes, search “tweened mask” and you’ll come up with some clues. I’ve seen people asking about this before with some sample flas provided. ---

well, its one image, then the effect reveals another image. I dont necessarily need the reveal portion. Just the way that animates is what I am looking for. How? ---

Multiple mask layers, reveal the complex shape. Simple tweening :/. I don’t know how else to explain it, but if you know how to mask, it should be really simple. ---

Well I’m assuming you know how to use masks. By the look of it, those stripey shapes that reveal whats under can’t be used by motion tweens - but more like shape tweens. I’d use frame-by-frame. Just make the shape at frame 1, then add a FRAME (not key) at 20. Then select 1 - 20 and press F6 to convert all to frames. Then from frame 20, go backwards and erase a little by little from 19 til you hit 0 and then there’s nothing left. Then mask over image :). Heres an example I made really quickly - mind the bugs (if there is any). [http://21dynamics.com/RoosterMask.fla](http://21dynamics.com/RoosterMask.fla) Hope you understand now :). - Sharif
