Microsoft Powerpoint maybe?

Powerpoint doesnt seem to do it. Maybe someone else has any suggestions.
Meanwhile - Happy New Year !

this can be done pretty easy in swish or flash mx ... you could also even do it in photoshop as an animated gif as in the example i did on a web site ..

That sounds good however, I am new to all this and do need some more help. How do I get "swish" or "flash mx" and what do I do next ? Also, how can I find the example you did on a web site ?

Swish is my choice, but Flash is really good as well

Swish v2:

Thanks for the Info. I just got some other advise I wish to share. Actually it is a quite simple solution. It is always 'you just have to know'. I tried it and it works perfect. Here it is :
From Transitions select top-down Linear Wipe between two graphics (one with and one without the track). To slow down the wipe enlarge the crossfade.
