Hi,

I created rooms in cinema 4d, rendered a jpg and imported it as background into director. in these rooms, there are video-screens with mov-files playing on it. the screens aren't perfect rectangles because of the 3d-effect. to achieve the same "perspective look" on the movies as on the screens, i used 8-bit masks. (i put the mask over the mov-files to cut it's edges and make it look in the correct perspective) so far, so good. works fine...on 9 out of 13 videos. with the others i have a strange error. when i start the movie director comes up with a error message, saying the "property #mask" couldn't be found. this is the script i used:

on beginSprite me
member("pic.videomaske").regPoint = point(25,15)
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member.mask = member("pic.videomaske")
end

can anybody imagine, why this problem shows up...

tnx in advance
adrian
