Thanks in anticipation.

i cant see any such effect - but i do see very basic shape tweens that are
masked in other places - or they could be motion tweens - or even
frame-by-frame - all in all, basic flash animations - dont really see anythi
ng
here with that certain *wow* factor - was i supposed to click on anything?

That's just a gradient fill being moved behind a mask.

I agree, nothing special.

Yeap... It's a simple mask behind the image.
I think that this effect would work much better
with PNG image file.

yeah - thos images aren't exactly high quality - not sure if developer knew 
how to achieve a nice feathered edge with an alpha channel or not - the alia
sing is *cheap* looking.

Thanks you all for your comments. It seems kind of cheap and easy to you all
,
but I am a novice here and I love that effect. My question was, HOW IS IT DO
NE?

I'll appreciate it if anyone sends me a tutorial or explains to me how it is
done.

Thanks in anticipation.

i dont think any of these comments were aimed to insult you or anybody.
i also believe we answered the question - basic tweens with a mask. if you
don't know what any of that means then you really should try and do the buil
t
in lessons that come with flash - specifically the lesson on animation - it
discusses how the timeline works and keyframes, tweens - all the basics. not
trying to flame here so please dont fire back at me - really trying to just
help - but everyone should at least do their part - or at least tell us your
skill level so we dont have to re-type an entire chapter from the help docs.
basically to recap - the effect i *think* you want (because i don't think i 
am
seeing it) is a shape with a color mixed with a little alpha - or a solid sh
ape
converted to a symbol and the instance of the symbol has an alpha transparen
cy
- either way - this shape or instance is simply being motion tweened under a
mask that you define.
again if any of this is foriegn to you then you will have nothing but proble
ms
from any forum and i highly recomend spending an hour or so with the lessons
.
www.kirupa.com has some good tuts fyi.

hope this helps.

Thanks for your help.
