mask problem

[ampeloso@nospam.net]

Hello
I have a Filled square that I am using as a mask. Being masked is a jpg that
i've imported. Fireworks is adding a tint to the photo of the color that is
the fill. How do I get rid of this?
Thanks
Mike

Masks have to be grayscale. Maybe you filled the mask with a color?

Im using duplicatemovieclip to create a grid with text fields in each movie
clip, all worked well but i need a mask, with the mask the text is no longer
showing/updating but everything else is.

im was using

_root.grid[channelkey]["box"+i].text.text = channelprog[i];

which pre mask was working perfectly, any ideas?

Thanks
Chris

Got it working now by embedding the font
