Showing curvey dashed lines when travelling across a map?

snooks

I have a main game map, where there are points where the levels are at. Standard stuff. So I want to animate dashed lines extending to the next level point that would be invisible until the level is activated.

Is there a amazing/lazy way of doing this, maybe with Path or something? I'd rather have very curvy/silly lines so masks wouldn't be good.

try it Bezier:

or so?

Thanks for that... it seems like it would work with Bezier/quad curves, but the issue there would be drawing them as dashes I think.

Brute force multi image is an option, but it's inflexible.
