Step Three: Creating the Mask

1. Right click on the frame Label where it says:
   From the drop down menu select: Mask
   
   Note: The Layer Symbols have now changed from: to:
   
   Note: When you create a mask the layers become automatically locked. The lock icon appears next to the layer labels. If you wish to edit the layers you will need to unlock the layers by clicking on the lock icon . The mask will appear to be gone, in actual fact if you test the movie you will find it makes no difference. To make the mask appear again (at least on stage) re-lock the layers.
   
   
   You can only see the objects that are under the circle - everything else is masked.
   
   
2. It is probably worth saving and testing your movie at this stage: Control > Test Movie
