ive gotten one movie clip to mask another in the actions frame but i cant seem to be able to mask the flames which are a shape with a movieclip in this as file. im not getting any errors but the mask isnt covering anything
look near the bottom at s.mask=mask_mc;
there are about 20 “s” shapes spawning per second if that has anything to do with it
//this package turns an mc into a flaming button that calls a javascript function
