Well hi there oh handsome Kirupa forum peeps!
I’ve recently been having fun with “setMask” in an external movieClip. Basically I have a “preloader.swf” file which loads the main content (“content.swf”), which uses “setMask” to mask a target movie clip (“maskee”) with a mask movie clip (“masker”).
I’ve locked the root of the “content.swf” file as follows:
this._lockroot = true;
Then I apply the mask
maskee.setMask(“masker”);
The problem I have is that this all works fine and dandy when launching the “content.swf” on it’s own, but as soon as I it’s loaded by “preloader.swf” it fails to work. Is this a bug or am I just missing something very obvious…?
I’ve included example files for all you lovely guys and gals to play with…
Happy carrots!
