Mask/filters for parent of flasheff'd element

Hello,

we would like to apply a mask and flash filters to a parent element. The flasheff2 animation starts to play but it is not affected by the mask and the bitmap filter.

	<s:Group width="600" height="450">
		<s:mask>
			<s:Group width="600" height="450">
				<s:Rect radiusX="15" width="600" height="450">
					<s:fill>
						<s:SolidColor color="#FFFFFF"/>
					</s:fill>
				</s:Rect>
			</s:Group>
		</s:mask>
		<s:filters>
			<s:GlowFilter color="#000000" blurX="10" blurY="10" strength="2" inner="true" />
		</s:filters>
			
		<mx:Image
			id="myImage"
			width="600" height="450"
			source="@Embed('Chrysanthemum.jpg')"
			/>
	</s:Group>
	
	<fx:Script>
		<![CDATA[
			import FlashEff2Flex;
			import com.jumpeye.flashEff2.symbol.brightSquares.FESBrightSquares;
			
			private var myEffect:FlashEff2Flex;
			private var showEffect:FESBrightSquares;
			
			// creationComplete
			private function init():void {
				myEffect = new FlashEff2Flex();
				
				showEffect = new FESBrightSquares();
				showEffect.squareWidth = 20
				showEffect.squareHeight = 20;
				showEffect.tweenDuration = 2;
				myEffect.showTransition = showEffect;
				
				addElement(myEffect);
				myEffect.target = myImage;
			}
		]]>
	</fx:Script>

Thank you,
Matthias

Sorry, but is there a question?

Hi,

there's no question, but i need help to get the mask and the filter working. If the flasheff effect is not applied the image is shown properly. But using the effect it bypasses the declaration of the mask and the filter.

You want to apply a mask over an object on which you already applied a flasheff effect? If yes try to set the mask directly on flasheff.

It works now. I've realized that the instance of FlashEff2Flex has to be appended to the masked element and not just to "this".

Greetings, Matthias
