Re: FLASH: Freaky mask layers

[James Goudy]

What if you organized your layers like this (top to bottom):


Buttons

Radio art

Text mask

Text

Text background

Hi, all,

http://www.webn.com/flash/fin28.html 

If you go to this page and select the third button "bob," you will see a

text layer which is pulled from a .txt file.  My problem is that I need it

to be masked so that it does not scroll over the faceplate of the radio.

For some reason, whenever I add the mask layer, The text totally

dissappears.  It acts like a regular mask layer over the graphics and other

stuff; but, it totally makes the text go away.  I need to finish out htis

project.  If anyone has any ideas, your help would be most welcome.


Thanks in advance,


Jeff Dunn
