MC rollover / timeline layer problem

Commenta 17th November , 2008
Ok this one is wierd.

I have 4 videos on the stage at the same time. The masks of those videos are boxes that have the names b1, b2 etc. I have 4 BG mc’s under those, the same size that have drop shadows (because you cant have a dropshadow on a mask.)

It should work like this: the site has the 4 boxes with videos, and when you rollover one, it will expand what you rolled over, and the other boxes will get skinny and move to the side of the large box (utilizing the tweener class). So you will have 3 skinny deactivated boxes and one wide one.

Depending on which ones are above the others in the timeline, makes some of them activate on rollover,and others are "blocked" from being activated. My video files are exactly the width of the masks, so there is nothing literally covering up any other video.

If I make the masks a normal layer, all of the functionality is working correctly. But when I make them masks over my videos, only 2 work at one time. I can make any two work, but I have to change the layer position in the timeline. So i need to get all 4 to work correctly.

I was thinking it might work correctly if I put 4 clear boxes the same size as the others, on top of the videos, and make the video masks just masks and have no code referencing them to resize on rollover.

Thanks! (sorry but I can not post up a file for you guys to check out, but i will explain more clearly if need be.)
