so basically I have a graphic that has a few other graphics moving inside it and I'm trying to use that as a mask for another graphic.

is there any way to do that? flash is being a big shit and only using one of the graphics in the graphic as a mask and ignoring the other ones.

I don't really know. Tried using a movieclip instead of graphic?


LordZeebmork

okay never mind I fixed it

(broke apart the graphics inside the graphic)

loathsome is right, always use movieclips. If you want to make a .gif graphics are better though!

wps

what the hell are you guys talking about?
movieclips suck!
They keep on playing when you stop the flash!

Why the fuck would you join RTIL's forum if you had a problem with him and his society? I thought you left besides, yes you have talent but that doesn't give you the right to be an arrogant prick - i don't even care if you're joking.

movieclips are good if you need AS to work inside of a symbol
I have more of a life writing this review at 1145 pm than you guys do making these movies. . .

LordZeebmork

movieclips are only good for loops and AS.

I used to only use movieclips but graphics make things a lot easier so yeh.

Oh, wretched ephemeral race ... why do you compel me to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.

Or for bland backround stuff. Like some incredibly slow tweened clouds

why are people arguing about Movie Clips and Graphics and which one is better? They each serve their purpose and the best results come from using both I'd venture to guess.

I prefer not to see everything moving when I animate. I'd rather see it when exported, that's why I use it. And you can put stop(); in the end of the movieclip if you want it to stop, too.
