Creating Spotlight


Step1:

Create a new Flash Document with the dimension 550 as the width and 400 pixels as the height, set the background color to white.

Click on the Type Tool and type something on your work area. I typed PIXELDIGEST as you see in the image below using the Impact font.

Step2:

Create a new layer by clicking on insert layer icon. Now on layer 2, click to Frame 1, and create an Oval, by clicking on the Oval Tool image 5 . Make sure the Oval is the same color as the background, and the stroke is set to no color as shown in the image below.

Create a circle as shown in the image below. The circle is on the second layer Frame 1, now click on Frame 30, and press F6. Still on Frame 30, move the circle show in the image below to the opposite side on the text. Frame 1 and 30 should both have circles.
