it deprecates to v. 6

Note: using a movieclip as a mask only degrades to version 6 of the flash player I think - possibly even only in 7? But I am pretty sure 6. You can't use it in 5

Great site but I dont think they used masks aren't the shapes just well shapes but great site anyway

So, to get that effect with the text, you have to have a movie clip telling dynamic text to switch to the unicode #?
I've been trying to figure out how Yugop did it.

charCodeAt() works just like charAt() but returns the unicode of the letter.
message = "Alphabet"
message.charAt(0) returns A
message.charCodeAt(0) returns 65, A's unicode

moock's definition:
String.charAtCode() = retrieve the code point of the character at a specific position in a string

how does charCodeAt() work?

The changing text is like Yugop's. www.yugop.com - nice site though

i'm more interested with the text effects. seen it yugop's navigation also. charCodeAt() maybe?

mask animation
-photomask animation
-white backgroundthe masking animation is a movieclip.
the animation masking the white background starts first, then the animation masking the photo starts a lil later giving you the white border.

seems as if they just have those teardrop shapes in white enlarge to cover the previous image, then have one layer of teardrop masks with an outer white version of them expand at the same time.
it sems pretty straight-forward although my description even confuses me : )
