Quick Question

[DigiScript]

In the Mask follows Mouse tutorial, what exactly is happening here?

// Move the masked object by exactly the opposite amount
this.masked_object._x = (20-x);
this.masked_object._y = (30-y);

I assume it means exactly the opposite amount as the mouse, but I don't get it... where does the 20 and 30 come from?
And if the mouse is at 400, 100, shouldn't the object disappear by going to -380, -70??

I know this is simple, so why can't I understand it ....?

It is a position for Masked object.

I know, but where do the values (20 and 30 for x and y) come from?
