Re: [Dynapi-Help] hiding content

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

What you do is have your content layer inside of a clipping layer:
The content layer moves up and down (or left to right)
"behind" the clipping layer.

The Content layer is a child of the clipping layer and can be any size.
The clipping layer acts as a "window" into the content layer..

A bit drunk and maybe not too clear..
