That is the standard behavior for masks in the framework. Can you provide a little more info on what type of display object your mask is? That would help us make suggestions for replicating the mask, or an object close enough (e.g. a rectangular display object would be much easier to clone/fake than an object with a more organic shape).
HTH, Ryan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ACasualObserver Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 3:54 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Adding the same mask to several Sprites In AS3, I created 3 sprites (S1, S2, and S3). I would like to do the following: S1.mask = S3; S2.mask = S3; The result is that mask is only applied to S2. If I remove the second line, it is applied to S1. It seems that setting the mask of S2 to S3 removes S3 as mask of S1. Is there a solution for this? Recreating S3 from scratch is not possible in my app but if there was a way to copy/clone it, it would work. Thanks in advance. This message is private and confidential.
