masking draw object effect... with AS...

[jarviscares]

i have a simple .fla here which by using masks appears to "draw" a wavy box... (kinda choppy, just made it fast for example), what i am wondering is if there is a same way to achieve this effect through actionscript (not just draw a box, but to reveal any picture or shape, for a "drawing effect")

hope someone can help me, i'm kinda newish to AS, not much more then basics.

Jarf, go to www.actionscript.org there is a lot of AS movement scripts there, maybe you can use some of those to move the masks. also check out this link, you might like it.

This involves some very advanced actionscript.

Here are some examples of path oriented actionscript motion...
