can you place a device font behind a mask?

No, you can't...

Sorry...

K.

thanks for the reply. i was able to fix my problem though. instead of using a mask, i just broke my background into 3 seperate parts and well... i'm sure you follow. the text disapears behind the parts. thanks though. if it wasn't for your response i would have sat on my ass all day thinking i could get it to work.
