Actionscript masking - PLEASE HELP

1

I really need some help with masking the attached document. Does anybody know how to do this.

It’s a little wierd, because it’s almost all actionscript.

Is it even possible???

THANKS!

Hi,
I haven’t look at the file but I’ve used levitated textspace before and what he does is attach the class to an emptyMovieClip on stage. Find out what’s the depth of that emptyMovieClip and create another with a higher depth number. Draw whatever the shape of the mask on it and mask the other movieClip

Something like:

[AS]

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“mask”, 9999);
with(this.mask){
beginFill(0x0000FF, 100);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(stageWidth, 0);
lineTo(stageWidth, stageHeight);
lineTo(0, stageHeight);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
}
textSpaceContainer_mc.setMask(this.mask);

[/AS]

textSpaceContainer_mc being the MC the class is attached to
