Hi!

I use Flash 5

I went to this (click HERE) (http://www.stephaniekirkham.com/) site. After a moment, it takes you to the main site.

The top banner is moving randomly over 3 or 4 pictures. Where can I learn how to do this?

Thanks in Advance
Ess

There have been numerous threads about that already :) Basically, it's just a mask moving in front of a picture, done several times with different pictures...

Oh I see. Forgive me, but I'm a newbie:

So this can be done with a mask, without having to use a looped movie?

When I check my Temp Internet files, I see that I have only downloaded 3 pictures from the header, the rest I ASSUME is done via action script (?!?)

You can script the mask or you can tween the mask, whichever you prefer :)

Cools, so where is the best place to learn how to script the mask? :)

Actually, the best page I've found is this one:

http://actionscript-toolbox.com/samplemaskmover2.php

But where can I flearn how to code the script so that is randomly moves the masks around so I can have a similar effect to that bannner I've shown???
