Re: FLASH: Drawing curves progressively : Shape tweening?

[Tatorface]

looks to me like they just made the @ symbol then broke it apart and used the 

outline as a motion guide for the end of the laser thing....then made the 

smokey end of the laser so you couldnt see when they added more of the symbol 

when it moved soemwhere else

<< Hi everyone.

 Here's a problem that I have been confronted with (since quite some time :(

 ): I want to draw a curve, say a quarter of a circle, beginning with a small

 dot which tweens itself until the full quarter of a circle is drawn. The

 effect should look like someone is drawing the curve with the pen on the

 screen. Shape tweening unfortunately doesn't do the trick, because the

 moving end of the curve moves in a straight line between its initial and

 final position, instead of describing the desired curve. Shape hints are not

 doing the trick, either. Any suggestions, apart from breaking the curve in

 many small segments and drawing them consecutively, without any tweening?

 Take a look at www.eurorunner.com/flash/ if you did not understand my

 description of the problem. They're drawing the "@" sign there.

 Thanks,
