[LEFT]Does anyone know how I can use the motion guide when using masks? I tried it with just 2 layers…the mask and the masked. Tried to add a motion guide but nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve used a motion guide before but not with masks.

Also, how do you create more than one mask with motion without the below maks messing with it? If that makes any sense. [/LEFT]

[LEFT]I’m pretty much a beginner at Flash and trying to learn it on my own at home, finding it a bit tricky! I’m using Flash 8.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Thanks in advance for any help! [/LEFT]
