hello

I’m trying to place gradient mask on dynamically loaded images. I’m using cacheAsBitmap function for both the mask and images. Then, when I animate any part of my movie, the mask disappears from time to time. I can’t find exactly what causes this issue, because its seems random and not caused by any specific event. I’m even having a hard time recreataing the issue.

Thanks In Advance.
