Hi!

It's been a while! I'm trying to mask off a movie clip. So let's say it's
stripes that animate over a rectangle. The rectangle is divided into 3
sections. I want the stripes ani. to be contained within the section...like
adding a clipping mask.
I've tried creating a mask layer above and making a green box over each
section (so that it will be contained).

I'm wanting to select all the layers of the stripes animation, below the mask
layer and hit 'mask', but it only makes the one layer directly below the mask
layer selectable - odd. I think there's something I'm missing here. Please
advise!

Thanks!

Try dragging the layers up and down until you achieve the desired
result... or failing that, user the properties dialog for the layers

you can't use multiple layer for mask, you need to place your animation in
movie clip.
