Wanna make a banner help needed in masking

Hi guys, i want to make a sort of banner, and i want graphics to come in from the side and appear on the banner, i’ll need to mask the area that i want displaying, how do i go about doing this?

draw the shape of your banner on one layer and the right click on that layer and select mask. Then link it to the layers below in which you put the content that will appear on the mask.

i created a box, masked it, and then in another layer, i tweened some text, i put this layer under the mask layer, but nothing happened? Do i need to convert the mask into a symbol?

no. let me see the fla

its too big to attach

how big? if its less than 900k email to grandsp5@hotmail.com. If its bigger, ill PM you my other email address

36.6mb

whoa. ok never mind. ill make up a little fla for you. btw, you cant mask dynamic text without embedding it, that might be your problem.

something like this?
