so im trying to make this little square effect where they all blow away to the sides.  
'I have many little squares, and identical little squares masking on top. So i can animate the mask so that i can do the effect.  
but right now the mask is only masking te first little square, all of the squares that are masking should be visible.  
someone check it ?
