Hello again.

I’m thinking of creating a small flash movie and came across this problem.

What I want to happen is, you see a beautiful scene of, let’s say, a meadow and then the title starts to appear.

I know basics of masks first of all =)

I guess I could copy a picture of the meadow and mask that on top of the title and both of them on top of the meadow image. But then what if the image of the meadow is moving? How do I fade the mask in then? Because I tried doing that and nothing happens.

I hope I explained my problem well.

Thanks in advance.
