Flash Masking
Masking, in itself, is a very simple process. You take one image, (the mask), and you stick something under it, (the masked). Whatever the shape of the mask is, is how the masked will look. Kinda like cutting a shape out of a piece of paper and laying the paper cutout on top of another sheet of a different color. Only the shape of the mask shows the shape of the underlying layer.

Drawing in Flash
Drawing Flash is very different to drawing in something like photoshop. So before we begin I'll try to explain to you the difference. When you draw a line in Flash the line itself is divided into parts. You can move, reshape and select these parts separately. In addition a line drawn across another line or solid will act like a knife, splitting the other line or shape into two separate parts which themselves can be moved, reshaped and selected. It's actually pretty handy.
