In this tutorial I will teach you how to create randomly growing lines. The code should be well enough commented, so you know what we are doing in each step.
Advanced Note: If you wanted to use this in bigger Animation you can change this into an MC. One of two ways.
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to convert lines to fills in Flash using Convert Lines to Fill function. I'm also going to explain why ever do such thing. The following info will be especially useful for those of you who draw in Flash, but not only. If you're an ActionScript geek, then you will probably not find the below info that useful. :-) To convert your Line to a Fill, select it and go to Modify>Shape>Convert Lines to Fills.
Now with our brush tool draw over a bit of the lines, then press F6, draw over a bit more of the lines and press F6. Every time we press F6 we create a new key frame. (see animation below)
Now that we have the layers for each line done. We can create the lines. First we'll start with the Top Line.
