Can Actionscript Help my problem

[Bazrazmataz]

Hi

I was directed here from another forum by someone ive been trying to solve a problem im having in the development of a flash version of my website!

Im trying to create an animation were a graphic i have appears as if its being drawn on the screen so far ive done this two ways

1) Frame by frame animation
2) Motion tweened mask

The frame by frame animation looks the best but is too slow for my liking but i can get the tweened mask to look remotely as good !!!

my source files can be found here

One you see lines.fla you will get a better idea of what im trying to create. So far ive been told to use a mask on a guided path which i tried to no sucess but had no other suggestions ! Can anyone help me??

cheers

Errrmmm remember im a newbie i dont really understand that article. But looking at the example i could make a rectangle move up and down that doesnt really help me to movie round bends and circles.
