Hi everyone…another day, another question
I’m trying to dynamically generate a menu for a site. I have one movieclip that i duplicate and i want all those duplicates to share a mask.
for (i=0; i < 5; i++) {
_root.menuitem.duplicateMovieClip("menuitem"+i, i);
_root["menuitem"+i]._y = menuYpos;
menuYpos += 35;
_root["menuitem"+i].setMask(myMask);
}
This causes only the first menuitem to use the mask. After some searching i found that i should combine all these generated movieclips into one container movieclip and ultimately mask that container with myMask.
I tried some createEmptyMovieClip, attachMovie & setMask combo’s but it doesnt seem to work. Does anyone know the proper sollution?
Thanks!
