How use mask effect?

Re: how use mask effect:

oburiana, the mask effect is the white gradient going across the button. If you look at the demo of stage 1, you'll see that the white rollover effect is seen on top of the buttons above the one you mouse over. The mask effect makes it so the light effect only is displayed on top of the one button. For more information on working with masks, check out my other tutorial on the subject: http://mikestickney.com/wordpress/flash-tutorial-working-with-masks-in-flash/
