I've only dabbled in flash, so i can't help you with your prob, but I remember that Flashkit.com was good for tutorials, examples and help.
Good luck!
Good luck!
yea they have nothing.....hold on a second and let me upload the file so people can see what I am talking about...
exactly... I dont want it there
I want to have it get drawn as it gets cut, I havent been able to find anything telling me how... the design is too complex to use a moving mask or I would just do that...

RIght. now i see what you are talking about. Well, it depends on how you've done the animation so far, but how about masking the logo, creating motion guides for the laser, and then dropping the mask when the 'cutting' is complete? (warning) I've not done this myself (/warning), but there is a Motion Guide walkthrough here;
Motion Guides
Motion Guides
The motion guides are how I have the white lights going around the numbers. What about if I just left it black until it was all cut out and then I had it fall, or do you think I should have the trails cut in and left behind the white lites?
The big problem is getting the line drawn realtime with the lites....

Here is an idea:
1) create a duplicate outline of the green logo but in black. (on separate track)
2) rearrange the arc wield to go from left to right (or split the wield into two and have them outline at the same time, starting left and moving right.
3) as the arcs move have the black outline fade to 100% transparency as a left to right wipe (in time with arcs, of course)
4)pause, then have the cut-outs fall away.
maybe this would help?
Ahhh I see what you are saying... I had to read it a couple of times.... but I got it now....it would be a lot of work to go back and redo all that I also like the way I have it now cause it is a lot more random.....hmmmm will keep it in mind in case nothing else works....
what did you think of my idea where the lights go and everything stays black, until the thing falls away?

yeah, it will work. drawn fast enough the brain doesn't know what is happening before the cut-outs fall away.
but by now I think you are getting a healthy appreciation of what animators go through every day!
one fancy, schmancy (and most labor intensive) way would be to:
a)keep the random flashes
b)have a sound ("pththhthttthhhhhh") that matches an arc torch being lit and applied to metal, occur at drawing time
c) using the same motion guides on another track, follow the lights in a glowing white-to-yellow-to-red trace (which means tweening through all those frames) -
the idea would be to have a color dot onion skinning through the motion guide three times (one for each color, the latter ones milliseconds behind the leading color)
d) sound of the cut-outs falling away
e) the james bond theme for aboot 5 sec.
this scenario will probably take 2 or 3 days to complete, but it might just land you a job as an animator?
good luck on how you want to solve this. show us the final when you get a chance!

Good god man are you crazy? That would bring my poor little 400mhz laptop to its knees.... I was actually trying to vector the image of bond walking out with the gun barrel but I gave up..... sounds and stuff like that really jacks up the file size.... I really dont want the opening to be more than 50K at the absolute maximum sound would really do that... although I do have the cut outs already done... I could make them instances and change the color.... dammit now youve got me started on something I shouldnt waste my time with!
