FLASH: Draggable masks, etc

[Darren Critchley]

I was playing with the concept, after seeing the car that could be

xrayed at the Lexus site a couple of weeks ago, and came up with my own

xray concept.


I used the tutorial from flashkit (I think) that shows a magnifying

glass moving over a page and showing the letters magnified. I have the

thing working, but I don't understand why certain things work.


What I wanted to do was have a mask layer, and move the actual mask

object around on that layer, based on the location of the magnifying

glass on top. However this didn't work. In their example and in the one

I have created, you have to move the masked picture around, and I don't

understand why, can anyone help top explain this?


And I believe that the graphics I used to create this concept test,

belong to someone on this list, I was SWFBrowsing through my netscape

cache and found the picture of the car and the x-ray."NOTE To that

person, I am using your graphics just for educational purposes and not

for any sort of commercial gain"
