Hi world!

May be help me?
I’d stand two instances of the MC into the mask layer, with different names, but work only one of them, which I stood first. Is that so?
Sorry for my weak English.

set the mask with script then

maskedMC.setMask(maskingMC);

something like that anyway

then you set as many masks to mask an mc as you want

cheers

Thanks Billy T
However, the problem remain. I put MovieClip (mc) on the layer1 and the two instances of the other MovieClip (im1,im2) on the layer2. I put the actionscript code on the layer3:

mc.setMask(im1);
mc.setMask(im2);

but "im1" don’t works as a mask (only "im2").

cheers

yeah sorry I think I might have been wrong on this one...

seems setMask is more limited than I thought

this doesnt work either

mc1.setMask(maskMC);
mc2.setMask(maskMC);

:(
