This won't qualify as a tutorial - you need to submit at article consisting of at least 500 words to qualify as a proper tutorial. This is more fitting in Designing > Animation category. Topic moved.

I think you should explain that the result of this would be the word TEST with the picture as its "background", or color. If you make the text a larger font, it would get a better result. Also, by animating the text around the scene, it'd seem to have an animated "background", or color (or texture, as 3d guys could think of it that way.).

 

I also think that you should explain that using masking inside a symbol is not required. If you do put it in a symbol, it doesn't have to be a movie clip either.

 

Sorry DENSS, for so much criticism... I'm a picky person...

You can't be picky enough when it comes to making tutorials

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... Well, not for Xisto's word count minimum, but I'm sure it would help to add some screenshots so people will see what you're talking about.
