Really stupid masking problem

Its midnight here and my neurotransmitters are working in speeds they never have.

If you could just help me with this dumb masking problem. I’d like to get both symbols to mask. Thanks

The setMask method allows multiple-frame movie clips with complex, multilayered content to act as masks. You can shut masks on and off at runtime. However, you can’t use the same mask for multiple maskees (which is possible by using mask layers). If you have device fonts in a masked movie clip, they are drawn but not masked. You can’t set a movie clip to be its own mask, for example mc.setMask(mc).

Ahh thanks kax… saved me a bunch of time :smiley:

No problem. :wink:

Woa… confusion!
Only one can mask the item, but I made seperate mc’s and layers, still having one mask… lol

Nope, there’s no confusion.

Well, there is. You’re setting both MovieClips to mask the MovieClip instance blue. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes but if I mask white I don’t get a second mask :open_mouth:
