 | | | Reversed mask? | Reversed mask? 2004-02-25 - By Adams, Matt
Back
I can't think of a better subject line for what I want to do, so I
apologize. What I am trying to do is create a "screen cover" which would be
a button mc with about a 50% alpha. This screen cover would have a mask
layer that would actually provide a window to the layers below. I'm
actually trying to highlight a section of the screen and restrict access and
visual focus on the rest of the screen, though I want it to be faded out.
Doing a screen cover was the only way I could think of doing this, but I
don't know how to "invert" the properties of the mask to where everything
OUTSIDE of the rectangle box I draw will be visible (the screen cover).
Does this make sense? Any ideas?
Thanks!
- Matt
