Thanks again Stephen. But something puzzles me. Remember in your video when you changed the mask layer from "add to mask, but keep invisible" to "add to mask" to show me how the mask only revealed that portion of the image? Well, the only way I could get it to do that was to put ...

Yes! that is exactly it. I realize that I would have to animate the mask for motion, but that is fine. Did you use the mask in AS or did you cut out the child in an editor and used two image layers? I hope you could tell me how to do the masking in AS. I know how to do a simple mask with vector lay...

I could have done it in Sony Vegas or PS just as well but I did this all in AS.

Either the masking of the object doesn't hide the animated character, or the character passes in front of the object that I'm trying to m...
