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

yeah graphics for me please.
movieclips are good if you need AS to work inside of a symbol
movieclips are only good for loops and AS.
I used to only use movieclips but graphics make things a lot easier so yeh.
Movie Clips are for jerks

Or for bland backround stuff. Like some incredibly slow tweened clouds
movieclips are best
graphics are good if you dont wanna use an ascamera
im pretty sure most flash games would be impossible to make without movieclips
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.
man we need to BREAK DOWN THE WALLS between movieclips and graphics
