So say that above is the shape i want, but instead of just having this shape pop onto the screen i would like it to draw itself. starting point to end point type of thing.

i hope that makes sense.

how would it be done simply? :)

Use a mask.

would you mind taking a look at my file.

it's my attempt but it's not quite working up to this point it's o.k but when i adjust the mask shape for the second side of the string it goes weird, it's easier to just take a look,

it's up to the point where it's still o.k but i can't figure out how to do the second side of the string :confused:

Instead of shape tweens, use motion tweens, one going down, then another goig up, it saves space also.
