first i’ll attempt to explain this in words.
essentially, i’ve set up a proximity script that tells a thumbnail image to unmask itself as the mouse grows closer. the layer set up goes something like this:
mask layer > contains all the proximity sensitive rectangles
masked layer underneath > contains the single image underneath.
and underneath those two…
mask layer > contains a masking instance for the background.
masked layer > contains the background.
what happens is this: the background animation is smooth as butter…but the front two only animate the upper left rectangle properly; the rest don’t display at all, which i found a bit strange.
check out the fla (1.3mb).
please guys, i’m really confused.
