i have to movies on my stage and i used the following code to get a masking effect. the problem is im not seeing anything when i preview the movie.
image.setMask(mask);
The code was correct, so I tried filling the border in the mask movieclip and bam, it worked. It seems that the border was too thin to be set as a mask or something. I hope this is what you wanted.
If you just want the border, highlight the lines and go to Modify>Shape>Convert Lines to Fills.
Hey, that’s useful Kax =) Question:
You can only set fills as mask using setMask ?
what i wanted was to have the yellow border around the image showing.
