RE: FLASH: Drawing curves progressively : Shape tweening?

[Mountain, Mike J]

or alternatively.


Set up a mask as a quarter of a circle, then rotate your arc " line" 90 degs

in under the mask so more of it is revealed, giving the impression that a

line is being drawn.

ie.


mask lies at 90 degs clockwise...line starts at 0 degs, ends up at 90

degs.......


Hope that's clear.....
