Michel, Some simple effects can be made from a frame with your graphic in it by starting with a width of 0 and increasing width while decreasing left. This will give an effect similar to a curtain opening. Top & height can be like an eye opening. And of course growing OS/2 style windows can be made from all 4 corners. ie top & left are constant while width and height are increased. Other methods can include moving the graphic inside the frame this can give the impression of movement from a window. longer images are better for this for obvious reasons.
