ah wow! thanks!!
BUT...and sorry to be so picky...
the masking isnt working...i want the txt to look like it comes from underneath the frame that there is...not over the top.
where shall i mask it now then? when i mask the XML everything but the XML shows....
thanks again for your help!
you're a life saver!

once completed i will link to your site or comment on your help!

-edit:
i sort of fixed this, but i dont think its the best way...i cut out the sides of the background, and then pasted them above the xml layer, so it looks like the XML slides underneath the frame....
(us peeps lacking the tech skills have to use creativy i guess...) lol

put 2 MC's that are the area of the mask you want on screen, first frame set alpha = 0, then used MC.setMask(mask); to apply the mask to the objects created in loadMovie. you could refine this to be all in action script (no mask MC's on stage) but i see no real advantage, you can only use one mask MC with 1 MC thats why there are 2 on stage for img1 & img2...

i like this as it allows you 2 manipulate masks to nice effect...
