thanks to billy T for the help with my other masking question. maybe you can help me with this one also.

What I want is to create a mask as if you were looking through a mask (2 eye holes) in the back ground will be a house. you will be able to click on the door of the house and then you will enter the site (button,link)

what I have so far.

I do have the mask set up ( I used the same mask from the previous "sniper" idea.)

on the bg mc I added a button.

is it possible to have the end user to be able to click on the buton while viewing through a mask?

should work fine - what's the prob?

should probably turn of mouse hide so it is obvious when the user is over the button

cheers

I shall give that a try. Thanks for the response.

one more question. I do understand what you are refeing to but being new to this...where exactly would I place the code for that (bg,mask layer) and what code should I use?

thanks

code for what? the button?

put a button inside the bg mc and say

on(release){
//whatever
}

to show the mouse again remove the Mouse.hide() code

gotta fly

cheers
