    trapcode's 3d stroke plugin for AE has this feature. import a line drawing from illustrator o use as the path. then you can change a setting over time that will draw a % of the path. you can also animate the path over time.

    then export it as a swf

    or in flash, draw your artwork. make an empty movieclip follow that drawing (guide path). use some nice easing here and there. write some script to draw a line each frame from the null objects previous position to it's new position. it'll look like it's drawing it for you.

    • thanks for these tips! Will give it a try.ainku
