Mask problems (simple)

Alright, I must have missed something with masks. In the attached fla, the problem is that the mask masks the area where the text is, but the text doesn’t show up. If someone could explain to me why it doesn’t that’d be great.

Thanks,

“I tried to solve the problem…I just didn’t get too far.”

what is it exactly you watn to do because your masking three layers when you should only mask 1 layer and you have on the top a square thats made out of lines if you use these to mask an object only the lines will be seen on the bottom layer so you might want to fill the square in order to have it mas the layer beneath it please try to explain better what is it exactly you want to do so we can help you out

This is a bug with mx that has already been reported to macromedia. If you break your text apart all the way down to vector it will show up.

I tryed to break the text apart as mentioned above but couldn’t do it right I guess.

So I put WARNING in freehand ten and converted to paths.

copy and pasted into flash, then put this into key frames.

myColor = new Color(warn);
myColor.setRGB(0x000000);

myColor = new Color(warn);
myColor.setRGB(0xff0000);

this changes the colour from red to black etc.

Hope this helps
