(14) Pen Effect

  • the text is written by a pen:
  • the hardest thing in this effect is not a matter of Flash technique but of designing a 3 dimension pen that moves


  • once you got the pen, import that motion frame by frame in flash and place it in a Movie Clip
  • as we said the flash part of the effect is simple, place a text (hand writing font is a must), and reveal it with the help of a mask from left to right
  • as we reveal the text, move the pen in the same direction (during the movement, the pen must be placed at the right end of the mask rectangle)
  • fell free to use our pen, and send us your work if you have other ideas regarding this effect
