Hi Richmond,
RM wrote > Am I being stupid? No, this same topic (masking images) have been discussed many times before. An this same topic will arise again in a near future. Do you know why? Because LC IDE does not have an integrated menu or an external palette or a stack plug-in to create mask for images. 2011 in the forums: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6525 2013 in the mail list: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2013-October/subject.html#193880 By the way, just to complete in this same thread all masking options available, here is a recipe for using Scott Rossi's Hidden Point technique to mask an image: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Hidden-point-technique-to-mask-an-image-td2270248.html A graphic with discontiguous points is just another way to create a vector mask. 1) Create a new stack 2) Create a polygon graphic and set the points of it to: 0,0 34,268 224,268 127,365 34,268 3) import an image into this stack, put the image in a corner, where it does not hide the graphic and: set the backpattern of grc 1 to the id of img 1 (now, the imported image is cropped within the graphic) 4) set the script of the graphic to this variation of Scott Rossi script to move the first point of the graphic and (at the same time) move the image within the graphic: local lpoints,tClick,tFirstPoint -- based on Scott Rossi script for masking images on mouseDown put mouseH(),mouseV() into tClick put the points of me into lpoints put line 1 of lpoints into tFirstPoint put "mouseDown" & cr & lpoints & cr & cr into fld 1 end mouseDown on mouseMove X,Y if tClick = "" then exit mouseMove put (X - item 1 of tClick,Y - item 2 of tClick) put (X - item 1 of tClick) + item 1 of tFirstPoint,(Y - item 2 of tClick) + item 2 of tFirstPoint into line 1 of lpoints set the points of me to lpoints end mouseMove on mouseUp put "" into tClick end mouseUp on mouseRelease put "" into tClick end mouseRelease When you click inside the graphic and move the mouse the image will move within the graphic.
