Question

Is there any way to display a border around the shape that is being used as a mask over an image? I’ve created a custom shape using points and set it as the mask over an image… But when i set it as the mask the lines between the points disappear.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

if you have a shape / sprite / mc / bitmap and you are using on of them as a mask, no matter what graphics they will have, you will not be able to see any. in the docs it is said:

The mask object itself is not drawn

so solution for that one is:

• bordered graphics
• mask
• masked item

where your bordered graphics is the same size as mask and has border properties.
