Re: [Flashcoders] Alpha Masking Weirdness
Yeah, I was sure MTASC was fine... I was more thinking it was the combination of the two. Thanks for the info. The entire system I am building is based on Masking text (a signage system), so this is a real problem. I guess i'll have to wait on using filters.
