You should take a look at Scott Rossi's waving flag demonstration.   
If you can't find it, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.

Sivakatirswami,

if you could just see what marvels can Scott Rossi create with deep  
masks you'd be amazed (or like me shouting: "why can't everyone be  
Scott Rossi!"). The cool thing about transparency is that by  
overlaying stacks you can create amazing effects, for example imagine  
the classic boing ball that bounce inside a stack, you could do that  
by moving a image inside a card, but just think about this, create a  
ball using deep mask in it's own stack, get the rect of the square  
stack and move the ball stack as a bouce ball... then with the click  
of a button or a specific keypress you could free your boing ball  
from the constraint of the stack window and make it bounce on the  
window rect... its a nice effect!!! This was one of the DEMOs that I  
saw at the Monterey Conference. It's nothing but eye candy and  
surprise, I remember thinking: "Heck, that ball is a stack!", it's  
nothing but eye candy, but a sweet candy it is!!!



Want a pratical use for deep masks (I don't know if it is usefull,  
just thought of that now), create yourself your own tool tip stack,  
it might look like ballons from comics, like half transparent with  
text, you could use HTML inside the ballon so you could add "want to  
know more?" links. You can create a function that will attach/display  
this tooltip stack for any control in your stack, just by hidding or  
showing the stack and moving it... (I liked this idea, might  
implement it soon as I have 2.6)


Also imagine you're building a interactive help system that works  
like this, the user after triggering help mode, is presented with a  
magnifying (heck, how do I spell this!) glass, by hoovering the glass  
over screen controls a little window blends up next to the glass with  
help... this could be done with cursors and some wise stack moving,  
but if you use deepmasks you can by switching masks achieve all this  
effects in a more elegant way...


don't know, I am just too excited with those things...

Both were in my copy of the download

Change_Log_2.6.1.txt was the first item in the bundle - "This file is
divided into two sections - Revolution Engine 2.6.1 and Revolution IDE
2.6.1.  This list was updated 4th October 2005."

DeepMaskSampler.rev was the fourth (alpha order)

Also in the root of the install folder is "DeepMaskSampler.rev"
