adobe animate paint bucket masks?

Question

I have followed the steps of a tutorial exactly

Create shape > fill > select fill > copy fill > erase fill > new layer > paste fill > make layer mask

However when I do it for some reason the fill keeps going over my lines and I don’t know why

Is there something I am doing wrong?

even when i am noting creating a mask the copied fill pastes over my lines instead of in them

OK. It's clear now.

You're not doing anything wrong.

The line/stroke is a centerline, which means that the thickness is on both sides of the stroke, and then when the green fill is on a layer above, it covers this inner half of the thickness.

To avoid this, convert the stroke to a fill by using Modify > Shape > Convert Lines To Fills before you cut the green fill.

Then there will be no overlap.

If you provide a couple of screen grabs someone might be able to understand exactly what the problem is and help.
