You want to work with the alpha channel of whichever map is on top.
Use copy pixels to paint in the roads if they're on top or paint out the plain map if it is on top.
If this is just a straight animation you could just chop up the art work and do it in the score. It bypasses a lot of elegant Lingo, and makes it hard to edit, but if you KNOW for sure what the animation will look like you can do it that way. The roots of MacroMind Director lie in frame animation. Sometimes it's easiest to go back to the roots.
