I am trying to achieve the idea about masking the second background. If you look at my fla file. I have a map for the background and the magnify glass is random moving around.

If you know the technic or tutorial to explain, please direct me to it. Thanks for you help. P.S. I am sorry if I confuse you since my English is limited. -nodo ---

Thanks for your info. However, that’s not that I try to do. That is zooming based on magnify moving. What I want to do is if I have another image on top of that newspaper and it is masking. It’s not showing completely the image but only show in magnify. -nodo ---
