Masking is done in the Flash authoring environment, in my case = CS3. So
it's in the timeline. I'd expected that would put it at the bottom. It did
in AS2. I'll be working with graphics that artists have laid out. If I can
use it rather than replace it, so much the better.

Whatever is added to the stage last by using "addChild" method, will be at
the top.
What is masking what? No where in your code do you have anything setup to
be a mask.

Subject: [Flashcoders] masking issues
I don't know if I can attach documents here, but I'm trying it, because my
question involves a fla with a masked textfield on it and a MovieClip in
its library. If attachments don't work, look here:
http://www.freedmania.com/test/MaskIssue/ The scripts are listed below.
There's two ActionScripts here, one launching the other, to simulate my
eventual problem. The symbol in the library, myBox_mc, is linked to class
MyBoxx, which places it on the stage. Traces show that, by the time it's
there, it's parent is the BaseTimeLine. The mask, drawn in the authoring
application, is positioned over a textfield and is precisely the
textfield's dimensions. The rest of the stage is unmasked.
Click on the blue-green thingy (myBox_mc) and drag it around. You'll see
that it's actually under the mask.
I need it on top. What do I need to do?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
- Paul
These are the scripts. If you reply, please delete them.
