Masks are a very important feauture in Flash, that allow you to integrate complex scenes in a seamless fashion.

Notice that we are working inside the "Scene 2" of "MASKsimple.fla".
| Because the "Mask object" (the cookie cutter) is whatever you put in a Mask-layer, you can get to be pretty creative with it. You can have Animation in the MASK layer, in the MASKED layer, or in both. You can add other layers with animation,also. |
