Ive managed to create other colors by adding new movieclips. But how do I mask off the drawing board to limit where the lines are drawn?
Is it another level on top with a mask? )if you are even able to mask through levels…)
Or somehow restricting the movement of the new “line” movieclip?
Note the usage of “somehow”, because i dont know…
Thanks!

You can draw a big square on your scene, turn it into a movie clip, give it the instance name ‘mask’, and then add this code to the rest of the code :
_root.setMask (mask) ;
I guess you could as well use the drawing API to draw dynamically the mask.
pom 0]
Can you mask through layers?
If the set mask is on _level2, will it affect _level1?
Im creating a drawing file based off the tutorial and am trying to limit the drawing field so as not to scribble on the erase button.
thanks.
