From: ID. Awe on 6 May 2008 13:16 I created an animation to use as a mask, it works as expected but the problem is that the mask within the mask animation does not appear when used as a mask on the other object. I need everything hidden when the mask starts, that is what I need the sub-mask for. Hope this can be understood.
From: clbeech on 7 May 2008 08:16 you cannot mask the same object twice or with two masks existing in the same timeline - however you can change the 'size' or 'shape' of a mask on the fly - simple by changing it with a keyframe on the same mask layer. however - just wondering why not use the _visible property of the object to 'hide' it until you wish it to be viewed. additionally i seem to have no problems with constructing a mask within a mask - as long as the 'second' level mask is within the timeline of the object and not on the main timeline.

I think that is what I have done, this is a link to the .fla if you have time to look at it. https://www.bartcross.ca/FTP/CircleMaskdebug.zip If you scrub the circlemask library item it works as expected, but when you view the flash file, well it is apparent. I've looked at this in many different ways, but I just can't seem to make it work.
