Basically, on some flash sites there are movie clips that show a box being drawn.

Im sure its a simple tween but i cant seem to get it to work properly.

What i mean by a box being drawn is like an animation starting from one corner then a line being drawn to the next and so on until a box is drawn. Can some one put an .fla download or a quick explanation up, please?

Cheers

k.. well the simplest of the simpl-est ways is to animate the effect line by line.

For a box you need four lines.

So, animate (Shape or motion tween) the lines on separate layers.

If you wish for the lines to be drawn at different times.. simply move the frames about to suit your design.

Soz this isnt a thorough explanation.. and there are probably much better ways of achieving this task. I only know two.. and that includes this one! :p
