Hi all,
How could I mask more than one layer with one mask?
Hi all,
How could I mask more than one layer with one mask?
just drag and drop the layer under the mask
Thanx Kax,
Then, how do you adjust the location of the masks created by using setMask();?
oh wait … i thought you where using another layer as the mask
setMask() allows you to mask only one movie clip. you can’t mask several movie clips with the same mask :-\
however, you can place all the movie clips into another movie clip and then apply the mask
and to move the movie clip (mask) through the _x and _y properties
Hi Kax,
Here’s what I did. I create movieClip shaped square and add some tween motion to it. It’s not placed anywhere on the frame or layer but stored in the library. I load jpg file onto the container movieClip and use setMask() to mask it.
_root.imageholder.loadMovie(“images/image0.jpg”);
_root.imageholder.setMask(“mask1”);
_root.imageholder.setMask(“mask2”);
_root.imageholder.setMask(“mask3”);
_root.imageholder.setMask(“mask4”);
But, mask never appear on the screen therefore picture is always seen. What’s wrong with this?
i told you that you can’t mask several movie clips with the same movie clip. either a movie clip can have several masks :-\
i’m not sure that i understood how you set up your movie … can you attach the files?
Here you go KazchiX, for some weird reason, the setMask worked after I placed it into an event handler. I tried using attachMovie, but that isn’t working, but I’m still playing around with it.
:sleep:
haha Kax, did I do something wrong? If I made a mistake then please help. =)
no no no … don’t get me wrong =)
is just that i was waiting for the files and you already have them
that made me laugh
i mean … what’s the point of asking for help if you already it? :crazy:
Well I was helping her with the setMask, but it stumped me for awhile so it was best to ask for more help on the forum. =)
oh … that’s a good point
