I made this a long time ago for another board.

Get a picture you want to do the animation too.

Create a new Layer, then grab the Polygonal Lasso Tool and draw a rectangle.

Then grab the Paint Bucket Tool and set the foreground colour to whatever colour you want the scan bar to be....i choose green #6D9D27, then fill the section with the colour you choose.

Then set your Layer Option to Colour:



Then it will look something like this:



Now go to Layer > Layer Style > Stroke, and have 1px 'BLACK' Stoke.

Now open up Adobe Image Ready

When you are in Image Ready create a new frame for the animation



Now you should have to Frames. Now click on the Move Tool

Then press the UP Arrow on your key board 5 times, then create a new frame, then keep doing this until you get to the top of your Image, then you press the DOWN Arrow key then create a new Frame, until you get back to where you started...

You will end up with about 50 - 150 Frames; i ended up with 91 Frames...

If you wan the animation to move slower, just move it 2 pix up/down and to make it move faster move it about 8pix up/down

Here's what i finished with:

[cloudstrife]

Good tutorial

[overl0rd]

and what program did you use for this? o.o

[Jake]

Cool, that might come in handy

[Inks]

Hehe, thats pretty cool.
Althuogh it would be easier to do in flash (the moving part, not the graphic ) becuase of motion tweening, so it isn't as glitchy as yours.
But yea, 7.5/10
WOMg hi score

[Seether]

Nice job Blade!

[Razor]

great guide!

[Spartan]

I love it! (im gonna make some tutorials)

[Pinkinuyasha-sama]

THAT'S SOOO COOL!

But question, I dont have a lot of graphics programs, especially ones that you have to pay for.Is there an alternative? Adobe image ready costs $650. My mom wouldn't even spend $50 on a program.
Maybe, a free one?
