I am honestly ashamed to ask this question…

its 2:06 am and my mask is not working prperly…  
I made this file, with a custom scroll bar for some text… everything works in normal in application view, but when I test it or preview it in browser, the mask makes the text disapear…

anyway… i thought I got over it … apperantly not, here is the .fla
