Hi all!!
I have a small slideshow, which works exactly like the one on the tutorials (the pictures load from a movieclip). above that layer where the picture load from an XML file, i have a mask layer which is divided into 4 separate squares.
The mask works fine, only until i decide to make one of these squares a movieclip symbol, in which case the mask is only applied to the other 3 squares (which are merely shapes), and the remainder of the loading picture is not visible from the 4th square (the symbol).
i tried to use
onClipEvent (load) {
image_mc.setMask (square_mc);
}
but it does not seem to work. Thanks for anyone willing to help.
