Line Trail

[Trurez]

I am trying to make a dotted line path that is created as my graphic moves across the screen(to show the path it is moving in). I have copied the motion guide which I have the symbol moving in but it is static. So, I worked backwards creating new keyframes in each frame and erasing a little bit, but that made the file rather large. I was wondering if there is a way to do this with a tween or something I am not thinking of.

Thanks

draw the line. Put a mask tween/animation on a MOTION GUIDE. The MASK will reveal/draw the line as needed...

In otherwords, use a Mask! :0)

Thanks I think I get it, but I can't seem to actaully apply it. I can't put a motion guide on my mask. Or a mask on my motion guide So to sum up maybe I don't get it.
