I have 2 actives. One is a circle, the other is a black square. The circle cuts out the black square while the circle gets smaller and smaller and eventually gets so small that the whole screen is black. If you get what I mean :/ Thanks www.Solgryn.org

Always -- Clear Overlay with RGB(1,1,1) -- Draw Ellipse with RGB(0,0,0) -- Update Display You can add values to the drawing of the ellipse to make it shrink or appear in a different position. http://lowflyingcow.googlepages.com/overlaycutout.mfa Hope this helps //

I don't think there's a way to do it with actives, if for some reason you need to do it that way. Hopefully someone here knows a sneaky way of using XOR, OR or AND to make it happen. I've no idea what those do apart from make everything under the object look funny. I think it might be possible if you can combine ink effects to make both objects RGB(0,0,0) when they overlap.

But I have multiple layers and it doesn't cooperate with layers, I can only out it in the lowest layer and then it only covers the background :/ Edited by Solgryn www.Solgryn.org

If that doesn't work then try changing it's layer at runtime. Also I think you'll need to use the active overlay redux for what you want. n/a

I tried using active overlay and it worked =D, thanks a million www.Solgryn.org
