Question

Masking : Is it possible to mask a TextFlow?

Is it possible to mask a text flow with a movieclip to overlay the text? for example :

usually we would just use the textfield for masking to get this effect. apparently this is not possible from our tests. is there a work around for this?

thanks,

steve

Can you create a bitmap from the Sprite containing the TextLines and use that as a mask?  Take a look at flash.display.BitmapData. I'd try that.

Hope that helps,

Richard
