Re: FLASH: HELP: draggable movieclip in mask layer

[mbain]

I know that a symbol on a mask layer can be animated to give you sorta a

spotlight effect, lighting up only the area under the spotlight for instance. I

just dont want to animate the mask, I want it to be draggable so the user can

controll the spotlight....hmmm... I am sure I have seen this effect sumwheres

before, I though make the place a movie clip onto the mask layer and make the

movieclip draggable.....but it doesnt work. Dragging the background will not be

a viable option....its the spotlight thats gotta drag ...anyone have any idea on

how to create this effect ?


Oliver ...what is it you need for that databse ?

Hi mBain,

that's right,

it's not possible todrag masked layer's

like animated masks-it's not possible.

Maybe it's asolution for you to drag the layer under the mask?

so long Oliver

P.S.

I need an ASP or cgi script to write a textfile to use a database like the

one you send to me.

Any resources you share?

btw

my project is ready
