I think I know what you are trying to do:

If you want the white shape to go over the infinite menu, try to put it into a layer over the mask of the menu layer. The mask will only mask what is below it - from what I have learned…

See if that helps.

One more thing…sorry.

Use the mask in the masking layer to cover what you want to show - not what you want to hide. I’ve always had a problem with masks because it’s opposite. You mask everything that you don’t want to show on the layers below by putting a shape over the stuff that you do want to show. After that masking layer, your just adding stuff on top.

That’s the way I try to understand masks…sorry if I made it worse. It’s tuff.(-:

no… no… i understand what yuh trying tosay, but i tried that already :frowning: this does’nt work…

i made a mask (the right way) but it does not work over the movieclip… :frowning: it showsup under it… i think it’s couse of the actionscript…

but i’ll keep fiddeling anyway… :slight_smile: thx…

PS, i know its already bin don but what doe you think of my menu so far :slight_smile: … it’s not ready yet… sound and effects have to be added…
