Bugger. i need to finish a wee one of these - started it a while ago, but got fed up with the **&^*&^ annoying masking in Flash. I'd assumed I was doing it stupidly.
Apparently not.
Bugger.

This swf isnt sized correctly and the background image isnt loaded in but you get the picture of what 39 layers can do.

The way i do it is convert the copy to a image, then do a series of keyframes where you erase a bit of the type each frame, then reverse the frames.
It is a pain in the ass, and all those frames add to file size big time.

masking? whaha.
just start with a frame with the full image.
copy that frame and erasse the first parts.
copy again and erase the next parts.
etc etc till there's nothing left of your image and you'll have about 100 frames of animation.now the only thing you have to do is revert your timeline and done!
i can do this in about 20 minutes.

the one I'm doing was for a small ('LESS THAN'* 100px w) loading graphic.
i first started doing it with keyframes, breaking the graphic into chunks in illustrator, then bringing in to flash. the results were less than stellar, which is why i gave masks with mini-tweens a go - that worked, but drove me nuts (i hate flash).
