Help with layer masks

Hey guys. First of all, thanks for sharing all your hard work with us, it's pretty fun putting krystal in all these naughty poses. ;) I gotta hand it to you guys, I must've wasted 10+ hours just on this so far lol.

But uh, I'm trying to set up a scene with krystal eventually getting DPed by two sharpclaw. I got one set up with masks to actually look like penetration. Only problem is, when I export it, my layer mask, for all intents and purposes, seems to disappear completely. Works perfectly inside the flash window though, as shown in the screenshot below. Any thoughts?

Hmm, I spent some time struggling with this when I was trying to figure out why some of the eye symbols didn't look right. Easiest way I've found is to lock the mask layer, and all layers underneath it before you export, that always seems to work fine, and also causes the mask layer to disappear in the editor (showing its effect instead). I dunno if it's the right way or not though!

Yup, gotta lock it to make it work correctly. Not sure why, but it's always been like that, iirc.

I tried locking it with no avail. I'll just have to rethink or scrap this idea I guess. Not a big deal though.

why not recreate said mask in the flash?
