Re: FLASH: X-Ray Effect = How Did They Do That?

[Gregg Caines]

Except a draggable mask is only possible in 

flash through some actionscripting.  I think

the common method is to create a draggable

movieclip that is stuck on the mouse pointer,

and then get the mask movieclip to follow it 

via actionscript...
