I am trying to create a Flash Application similar to http://www.faceinhole.com.
So far I was able to load my photo through Browse functionality.
Display it inside a movie clip.
Mask this movie clip with an oval shape.
Add the transform controls (senocular) to resize and move the image.
The problem:
Whenever I click on the visible part of the Masked Movie Clip, I can successfully drag my photo around. However when I click on the hidden part of the Masked Movie Clip, I cannot drag my photo around.
Question: Is there a way to add mouseEnabled=false to the hidden area of a mask?
Place a invisible (alpha=0) Sprite on top of everything on the stage or visible section, including the picture and mask and have that drag around. Add a callback to it that updates the picture’s position underneath the mask based on the drag values. You’ll need to reset the invisible sprite so you can keep dragging the picture and also put limits to how far it can be dragged.
