Hello,

I have been having quite a bit of trouble trying to mask a transparent png with keyframes and was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. I have been trying to brush in the area I want revealed on each keyframe above the image but for some reason nothing after the first keyframe will show up. I can clearly see the animation when I deselect ‘show masking’, but it just doesn’t seem to be working.

I’m pretty much trying to do exactly what this tutorial is showing except for the fact that I’m using a png image rather than the vector within flash.

If anyone could assist me I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance =)
