Scriptable mask locked on Y axis without mouse!

Hello all,

I followed this very interesting tutorial:
Scriptable masks

Now, I want to recreate the same effect (this has been done) but with a little twist, and I do not know how to code the mask with Action Script.

What I want to achieve is this:

  1. Lock my mask on the Y axis;
  2. When I mouse over it, the mask would move up and down;
  3. The mouse cursor would disapear while being in the mask.

My flash file is almost complete. I just need the code to move the mask.

You can download it here

Thanks a lot for any help!

Hummm, almost a day a still no response!? Is this difficult?

Ho well, I tried different things, and this is what I came up to so far:

Please download Sig_2.fla

I am almost there. But I want to lock my mask on the Y axis… again. How do I do that?

And again, I want the cursor of the mouse to disapear. It is possible?

Thanks

:tie:

This is what it looks like so far:

Now if I could get rid of this mouse cursor…

Thanks again. I like the result, being from up north, with snow all around me, this little poetry is quite à-propos!

:smirk:

I am messing around with the mouse thing as i speak, i’ll post nething if i get it working, at the moment it dissapearing but then not coming back lol :crazy:

Ok here we go i got kida of a working thing even though it aint really good method :frowning:

I put the code on the hole inside the camera movie clip

Two thumbs up! I give Lunar_4U the “tip of the day” award! Thanks a lot. The result is my new signature, but more, I learnt again today and this is invaluable!
