*Bounding box of a gradient masked movie clip.

11 New Member
I have a movie clip with a gradient mask.
now I would like to have the bounding box of this movie clip reduced to the visible(masked) area,
so that I can get its x and y positions.

is it even possible?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. mc1.cacheAsBitmap = true;
  2. mc2.cacheAsBitmap = true;
  3. mc1.setMask("mc2");
  4.  
mc1 and mc2 are the same size and the shape of the mask is constantly changing.

Hi, I inherited a Flash usability problem: It's a self assessment test created in Flash. I think it was originally built using individual flash files for each question and arrays. Now it has been modified slightly. Each question is in it's own movie clip and the whole test (all the questions) is in a container clip. When the user checks a box they can no longer scroll using the MouseWheel on a PC.
