FLASH: hidden area of masked mc still showing - bug?

[Nathan Dicken]

Hi Folks,


Just wanted to throw this question out there - maybe some of you have had

this problem before.  Not sure if this problem exists in F5 also or if

there's a technote on MM's site that I haven't found yet.  I have a mc that

is about 20% visible through a small mask.  This mc and its corresponding

mask is part of a mc that is duplicated and draggable around the screen.


Here's the problem - when the mc is behind the mask, there are very faint

outlines that show up for the area of the mc that's supposed to be hidden.

Funny thing is - this is only happening at 16bit color (1000's of colors).

Even tested it on two machines - same problem.  I know that having a mc at

0% alpha can sometimes produce this but is the same problem happening with

this mask layer?  The mc that is masked is at 100% alpha so it rules out

that problem...


Any ideas or Matt or John do you have any info/technotes on this?  Thanks

for your help.


Nathan
