I hope I can explain this clearly.

Well, I’m having masking issues. I’m gonna attach the .fla to make this easier.

Here’s my setup.

Within my movie, I have an MC (content) that is controlled by another MC (slide).

On click on a nav element, the nav talks to slide, grabs content and slides it into position. However, I need to mask the content, so only certain elements are visibile.

■■■■, I can’t explain. Take a look and see if you get the jist.
