Hi, I want to have a mask so that when I move the mouse over an area it is illuminated (or just revealed) I’ve done a tutorial for it and have it half working. would someone mind having a quick look at my file and letting me know how to get the gradient / transition to work so that its not just a circle. This wont make a lot of sense until you see the file! The problem is its too big! i could send it on msn to anyone who could help (my msn email [is:mail@illford.fsnet.co.uk](mailto:is:mail@illford.fsnet.co.uk)) or I upload to an ftp? it’s 1.5mb. normally i’d paste in a link but my dns isn’t working! and my deadline is tomorrow! Edit\*\*\* I’ll be awake all night! So don’t wait 'til the morning!
