Dear colisters, iīm working on a project i thought easy at first but got complicated as some -i thought- easy thing to do became quite imposible. Hereīs the thing. Iīm doing a project for a presentation that involves some map drawings. Up to here easy. The problem is that as the presentation goes on i have to "draw" roads on the map. I thought i could manage it with some kind of mask. In adobe After effects itīs REALLY simple to do it. You create a mask and you modify it through time so it gets the idea of an animation. The idea is that i have two maps, onw with roads and onw without and i thought Director should have some sort of masking like after effects, but the only mask effect i could find was mask ink which i canīt vary through time. I was unable to find an Xtra that would provide me with such functionality. The issue is that i donīt know how to do it easily without having to copy pixels in a really complicated fashion with copypixel command. Is there an easy way iīm unable to find -itīs almost 2am and ive been woring all day now- or is it not possible to do such a thing on Director. Roads -obviously curves- should be drawn as some "car" drives along them, so blending is out of the way. Well if anyone has any ideas about this i would appreciate the comments im in a blank here now, Thanks Diego Landro
