Hi,

I would like my mask to hide only what my shape covers instead of hiding what is outside of my shape the way Animate CC does it by default. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

If using blending mode isn't a problem for your, try this:

- Turn your shape into a Movie Clip;

- Set the blending mode of the newly created Movie Clip to Layer;

- Create another Movie Clip inside of the first one and set the blending mode of this second Movie Clip to Erase.

Regards,

JC

This does work!

Specifically, I am trying to create an eyeball on a transparent background that blinks--no eyelids, just the eyeball. Is there a method that would be easier to animate than the one you suggested?

Thanks again!
