Hi,

I’m working on a flash logo for a website of a few friends of mine.  
The general idea is to make a regular mask but i want the background picture to scroll!

uhhh…if i get it correctly, you want the background to scroll with a mask on top?  
how about making the mask and tweening background layer?
