Hi peoples. I am using one masking movie clip instance, aptly named “mask”, and i want to make it the mask for a bunch of duplicated movie clips. i tried using this[“duplicate_”+i].setMask(_root.mask); but what happens is only the last created duplicate gets masked… what seems to me to be happening is that setMask only accepts one mask and one maskee, if i try to add more maskees then it removes the previous one from the mask and adds the new one only.
this is a problem, i need to be able to mask the whole bunch of movie clips, then release a specific one onPress, and then remask it onRelease.
any suggestions/info appreciated :be:
