Hi Guys,  
I have random movement working fine, but does anyone know how to get it working using it as a mask?; as in you mask the layer with the MovieClip that has random movement applied to it.

It just wont move, and I cant seem to fix it.

Thanks in advance for any help,

■■■■! Im on a system with that only has Flash 5; can you convert that for me? Sorry, but I was at another machine b4.

I cant even get basic masking with a movie clip (that has animations) to work.

Thanks so much,

Sorry. I don’t know anything about Flash 5. I started learning (and still an learning) in MX. There is another forum (Flash 5 forum) that might have someone that can.

I don’t even know the differences between the versions.
