    yea that's done manually, by putting a mask over the line drawing and animating the mask. It's mind numbingly boring.

    You could do it with code, but it's pretty hard. You'd have to have a lot of programming experience. Something like this http://lab.polygonal.de/page/5/ at the very bottom. The code would see the tracing, then generate a mask to animate across that tracing, making sure not to hit any other lines, and all you'd have to do is set some guiding parameters.

    I'm sure it was programmed in some other languages, but can't find any AS3 examples.
