    You can scan it then use a mask animation to "write" it.

    Like Nat says, you could reveal it with a mask, but for the most realistic effect I suggest this:

    1. import your scanned signature to FLash then convert it to vectors using bitmap trace.

    2. hit F6 to duplicate the image on frame 2

    3. now get the eraser tool and delete a small section of your signature, starting with the last letter.

    4. repeat steps 2. and 3. (working backwards from the last letter to the first) untill the whole signature has been erased.

    5. select all of the frames on your timeline, right click and select 'reverse frames'

    Your signature will now appear to be writing itself.

    I've attached an example that should help explain this further (MX format)

    This effect requires a little patience but the result is really worth it,

    Good Luck

    If you have photoshop (or something similar) you can remove the white background by exporting the image as a transparent PNG24, though this would make it a little difficult to manipulate in Flash, that is why I suggested the bitmap tracing method..

    To do this firstly import your jpeg image to flash, select the image on the stage, next go to the modify menu and select 'bitmap' then 'trace bitmap'
    a dialog box will appear (the defalt settings should be fine for this) hit ok.
    Your image will now have been converted to vector shapes, to remove unwanted areas simply select them and hit delete.

    If after this you're still having problems, upload the signature image and I will be happy to make the changes for you.

    do you mean the image is not smooth or the animation is not smooth?

    try experimenting with the 'trace bitmap' settings, you might be able to get somoother results.

    Anyway, I hope you'll be posting the animation when it's finished, I look forward to seeing it.

    Hey, not bad work so far!

    Yes, that signature does look a little pixelated but you’ve got it animating very nicely.

    I think those navigation buttons seam a little out of place with the overall theme. The cloud effect is good but you need to make the animation loop more convincingly.

    I’m sure you’ll overcome those minor issues. I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s finished and has some content.

    Keep up the good work!

    The button colours still clash with everything else. Get hold of a freeware colour sampler if you don't have one and use some sampled colours for your buttons. Everything else looks OK!

    This is looking great! The clouds streaming in the background and the overall mood of the site is fantastic but there are a couple of things that could use work:

    The signature is well animated, but the image itself is very rough and jaggy. This could by fixed by re-scanning the signature at a much higher resolution before doing the vector conversion. Or you can manually smooth out the jaggies in the current signature using a combination of the brush and eraser tools.

    Also I think the green fluorescent buttons work against the rest of the design elements. I might swap in a gritty wood, cement, or rust metal texture. Or if you must go neon, go retro "Diner" style neon.

    The buttons themselves are difficult to read because there is not enough contrast between the text and background colors(same goes for the text and background colors in the "About Me" window.)

    Also I think the black outline surrounding the image of the male model disrupts the sense that he is part of the environment.


    Anyway hope that was helpful. As it is this is already a great looking site.

    website

    Thanks darth__furby, goliard your comments are appreciated.

    well,I added some additional data in my website you can have a look under the work link (graphics and website work).

    As I edited somethings you can realize the difference. But for the main nevigation buttons I m very confused and dont find any good idea for that what colour and what style should be. Do you have any idea or any example to change these buttons.
    For the model picture Its temporary and will be replace with other pic.
    Also check the new work,

    your comments are really appreciated

    hey kash....instead of double posting all the time use the 'EDIT' button at the bottom of your last post. It makes the threads shorter and easier to read.
