Question

Logo reveal with multiple masks?

Hi!

I used Flash a long time ago, and some things don't seem to work anymore with Animate.

One of those things is being able to use multiple mask layers to reveal another layer.

For example, if my memory serves me right, I used 5 different mask layers to reveal this shape:

Basically, my question is: how can I reveal a complex shape, like a logo, with Animate?

I can't find anything about the subject.

Thanks!

    each layer can have, at most, one mask layer.

    but you can have several layers each with its own mask layer.  and you can have several shapes on a mask layer and several shapes on a masked layer.  and you can have any combination of these.

      Thank you!

      In that case, I'd like to create a Clip containing all my shadow elements, and making that Clip the mask for the layer underneath, just like in this video: Animate Drawing a Line - YouTube

      But it doesn't work!

      Thanks again.

      you can't use a movieclilp (if that's what you mean by "Clip") in a shape tween (if that's what you're using - like the video).  use shapes (ie, fills) with shape tweens.
