Create the mask
The mask can be any filled shape. The color of the fill doesn’t matter. What’s impor-
tant to Flash is the size, location, and contours of the shape. The shape will be the
“peephole” through which you’ll see the content on the layer below. You can use
any of the drawing tools to create the fill for your mask.
1 Select the Rectangle tool.
2 Choose any color for the Fill and no stroke for the Stroke.
3 Select the top Mask layer and draw a thin rectangle just off to the left of the
Stage. Make the height of the rectangle slightly larger than the Stage.
4 Right-click/Ctrl-click the rectangle and select Create Motion Tween.
