Hi this is my first post, so I hope I'm doing this correctly..LOL This is AS2, not AS3, so if anyone could suggest something to search for I'd appreciate it. I am trying to use this method here: (found on Adobes forms) http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15 <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&cat id=288&threadid=1410897&CFID=13151180&CFTOKEN=5df21005bb1feb31-2CD5FFB4-F67E -56DC-E1E8B1280EE0B55C&jsessionid=4830966da44a4398c212f6359546a572e3e3> &catid=288&threadid=1410897&CFID=13151180&CFTOKEN=5df21005bb1feb31-2CD5FFB4- F67E-56DC-E1E8B1280EE0B55C&jsessionid=4830966da44a4398c212f6359546a572e3e3 to create an inversed mask of the shape I have drawn (lineTo) inside a movieClip.. my clip layout/nesting is as follows: parent.parent clip (contentContainer) | ---parent clip (faceContainer) | --------lineContainer (holds the shape/object I'm using for my source of the inverse mask --------maskContainer (empty clip to hold the dynamically created clip from the inverse mask method above) --------imageContainer (the place where the dynamically loaded image gets loaded into, and is 'masked' by the inversedMask method) now this all works fine.. except I want to add a mask to the parent clip thats holding these 3 nested clips...(faceContainer).. or even to the parent clip of that (contentContainer).. but when I do so.. and then invoke the inversedMask() method from above,...the whole imageContainer goes blank... now since the only REAL masking is the maskContainer, masking the imageContainer.. why cant I add a mask manually or through AS to the faceContainer or the contentContainer clips? I cant seem to figure it out... something with this inversedMethod() I've found and am using?..or just an illegal (I don't believe so) application of masks in Flash? any ideas or suggestion is helpful.. this 'IS' AS2 by the way... (just to re-iterate) thanks for the eyes. =) -xl97 _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
