if you want to mask a moviclip,u can use setMask property to do it.
Example:
[AS]
maskedClip.setMask(maskerClip);
[/AS]

this will help u for making animations like fabrislane;)

why don’t you just experiment?
you know how to dynamically mask a movieclip, do the next step is to just go on and try :slight_smile:
import a jpg, attach it to the stage, assign a mask for it that only shows with a width of about 80 pixels, do it all over with a duplicate of the jpg but with a mask at _x = 80 for a seamless image.

i agree with Mediamonkey;) just try to use your imagination and AS experience… u should duplicate movie and follow the _xmouse property with some easing…

Than what’s with the confusing “thank but i already know that”?
It suggests you know enough AS not to be called a newbie, but now you are? :stuck_out_tongue:

oh alright… here’s a start:

var amountOfMasks = 5;
 var offset = 80;
 var depth = 0;
 
 for (var i=0; i<amountOfMasks; i++) {
     var pic = _root.attachMovie("picture", "picture_"+i, depth++);
     var msk = _root.attachMovie("mask", "mask_"+i, depth++);
     msk._x = (offset) ? offset*i - offset : msk._width*i - msk._width;
     pic.setMask(msk);
 }

There you have the placement of the picture and it’s masks. You can controll the amount in the variables. Now that is done you can create a function that will tell those masks to do a nice tween-like animation like the website you mentioned.

Good luck and all… :stuck_out_tongue:

PS. that’s just a quick script, haven’t tested it or anything. But it should work just fine.
