So when a button is pressed the whole map gets visible ? Then you’ll just have to ease the mask out of sight I guess.

Ahh I see. Add this code to a new mc on the stage.

[AS]  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
\_root.maskedobject.\_x = \_root.tarX-(\_root.tarX - \_root.maskedobject.\_x)/1.2;  
\_root.maskedobject.\_y = \_root.tarY-(\_root.tarY - \_root.maskedobject.\_y)/1.2;  
}  
[/AS]

And add this to the button:

[AS]  
on (release){  
\_root.tarX = targetXposition;  
\_root.tarY = targetYposition;  
}  
[/AS]

You’ll have to replace [COLOR=BLUE]targetXposition[/COLOR] and [COLOR=BLUE]targetYposition[/COLOR] with the X and Y value of the masked object when at the place where it should move to.

I can’t test it tho cuz I ain’t got Flash on this pc.
