What is this? After the mask tween is done the symbol appears for a second… I think its a problem with flash using my method, just not sure how to do this otherwise… check it when you have time, thanks

The problem was that you didn’t apply your setmask script to all instances of your masks. You only applied it to the instances on the last frame of the mask tweens.

Here’s your file.
