At the moment I am trying to animate a squigly line onto a page using flash. It needs to look like it is drawing iteslf onto the page. I am using separate masks at the moment running over the lines to get this effect but it is takin ages. Does anyone know of an quicker or easier way to get this effect??

Use a shape tween. Use shape hints if it gets too messy. If it is a repeating squiggle you can make multiple movie clips of the same loop and add them to eachother in succession.

write a script that records mouse movment over a few seconds - if you dont want to write one there are plenty about - and get it to write the results to a selectable text area - copy the results and paste in as an array/list of variables - then a simple script to repeat movement would read and reproduce any line you fancied drawing

Ive seen a little program that does drawing in real time and you can export it as SWF. It might have been an after effect plugin but I cant remember but it might be a banner somewhere on www.flashkit.com
Sorry cant help more, but its out there somewhere.
