Hello all, I followed this very interesting tutorial: [Scriptable masks](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/scriptable_masks.htm) 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](http://www.baudesign.ca/temp/sig.fla) 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](http://www.baudesign.ca/temp/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: [swf=“[http://www.baudesign.ca/temp/sig\_2.swf](http://www.baudesign.ca/temp/sig_2.swf) height=60 width=300”][/swf] ---

YES! Thanks Lunar\_4U, we are almost there pal! Here is the result: [swf=“[http://www.baudesign.ca/temp/sig\_snow.swf](http://www.baudesign.ca/temp/sig_snow.swf) height=60 width=300”][/swf] 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! 😏 ---
