Any way to see on screen where a mask is?

Hi,
Im having trouble positioning a mask. It would be helpful if I could see the outline of it or something on screen so I no where it is and it is indeed being loaded.

The case in point is that I have two scrollers on a screen. one to the left one to the right. I have masked the left scroller successfully by loading the scroller into a group and then masking that group…
local myMask = graphics.newMask( “assets/mainMask.png” )
scrollGroup:setMask(myMask)
scrollGroup:setReferencePoint( display.CenterReferencePoint)
scrollGroup.maskX = 34
scrollGroup.maskY = 240

… works fine.

However when I come to mask the the scrollgroup to the right hand side of the screen. It doesnt work. Not sure if its the position of the mask or maybe even a bug??

So basically I just want to be able to see the mask while I position it!

Thanks

I would just position it as a normal image display object and use the same coordinates for when you are using it as a mask. [import]uid: 42417 topic_id: 22988 reply_id: 91862[/import]
