GUI overlay for flash video intro

[iamtheky 570]

throws twelve squares in checkerboard fashion over a flash video and removes them one by one. Currently it only looks appealing for unveiling smaller flash videos within the larger one.

So for a single video, Anybody know where I can find a nice set of GDI curtains? If I have to do small boxes I would prefer to not write it out a hundred times so any methods of doing it with GUIs, albeit a tad more dynamically would be very welcome as well.

Edit:: Better Example

better, hippie example for the video in video action.

My first try on a GDI that erases itself leaving the video behind was quite sketchy so I am bumping this thread in hopes something better comes along.
