Use Group as Mask?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Can you use a display group as a mask? Something like:

local img = display.newImage( ‘something.png’ )
local maskContent = display.newGroup()
local mask = graphics.newMask( maskContent )
img:setMask( mask )

It seems like there’s only one method for masking content, and that’s using a sole bitmap image. [import]uid: 4596 topic_id: 7185 reply_id: 307185[/import]
