Please help me figure out how to make wipes such as the wipes used at www.eonline.com to wipe from picture to picture.

Thanks in advance,

That is just a masking effect. They use a small circle as a mask over a clip, and use actionscript to tween the circle up the screen and change its _xscale and _yscale till you achieve the effect.

I am sorry for being ignorant but could you explain how to do that?

You want me to write some code, I mean its all in the reference panel of Flash MX. Look at setMask.

_root.attachMovie("masker", "masker", 100);
masked.setMask(masker);
masker._x = Stage.width/2;
masker._y = Stage.height/2;
masker.onEnterFrame = function() {
 if(this._xscale > 1000) {
  this.removeMovieClip(); 
  masked.setMask(null);
 }
 else {
  this._xscale = this._yscale += 20;
 }
}
