animated lines

Hi All,

I keep seeing flash web sites where the outlined for the content boxes are redrawn every time you go to a new page.

Could anyone give me pointers on how to do this?

Thanks all.

it can be done with either masks or the drawing api depends how much you want to get into actionscript

masking is easier (if you timeline it) actionscript either dynamic masking or using the drawing api (both of which occur at run time from code rather than from a timeline created at authoring) is harder to get to grips with but can be done without timelines and allows for more complex effects.

Great advice.. thanks for that
