I have 6 frame labels on my stage and on each one I have a mask animation, it’s the same animation but on each frame label loads a different image, basicaly the image just fade’s into the mask. I was hoping to try and do this with actionscript, just not sure how. Would also like to load the images externally too if possible… Anyone have any ideas?
