Transition B&W image to Colour image with Flash.

I want to create a flash movie that starts off with a B&W image, colour strips of the image appear on the left & right side of the image & move to the middle of the image showing colour sections of the image, then at the center, the colour sections merge & pan out to the left & right side transforming the image to colour. I have attached a image roughly showing what I want. I am trying to figure it out, but unsure where to start, i guess with a colour image underneath a B&W image, what from there...

I currently only have 95 points, but should be getting another 250points refunded in a few day & will increase the question points to 250,

You best bet is to use a video editing application, import your photos, do your overlays and transitions. Once complete convert to flash.

Maybe you could reverse the effect shown in this blog???

I know that this isn't something you can use as is, but should be something useful if you have dynamic images... Otherwise, peralesa's video idea sounds simpler...

Hi there. Attached shows how to do this quite simply with classic tweens and masking. If you wanted to make it more generic you could do the whole thing in script, but that's another story - this should give you some pointers.

sorry for the delay in updating. Deasil, what you created was sort of what I was after, although my diagrams were slightly mis-leading, and I want a black/white image underneath & the 2 strips of colour to represent the black/white image underneath, ie. if there was a tree in the black.white image, when the colour strip reached the tree section, it should the tree in colour, sort of like a colour filter moving across a black/white image.
