When working with Flash files, it is often useful to create a mask layer so that only the desired area is visible (Figure 9).

Figure 9

The mask object should be the same size as the stage area, in this case 13x13 pixels. Any animation occurring under the mask will only display in the masked area. In this example, a multi-colored wheel spins behind the mask, rotating 180 degrees in 12 frames. With frames per second set to 12, this animation will last exactly one second.

NOTE: The AR-32 software does not interpret action script, so only basic motion and shape tweening animations should be used.
