make something like this?

i thought it looked really awesome!
and i want to make SOMETHING like that
but first off how do u? lol

you have to have an animation or flash program to start with. most of them are expensive though.

i have both

in flash, you would use a path animation on the black heart (on its own layer).
there's masking set to a low opacity over everything except "ashley".
anddd you make new keyframe and use filters on "ashley" and then create a motion tween.
