Write down the steps to prepare anime looking simple waterfall in flash using masking technique.

Explanation:
When animating with Flash, a mask can be used either to hide or to reveal elements, with the added complication of movement. As with static masks, an animated mask effect is created by integrating a Mask layer with one or more Masked layers. The Mask and the masked content can be moved at varied rates or in different directions the possibilities are endless.
Some obvious possibilities for masked animations include: spotlights, moonbeams, text that is progressively revealed, a view through a periscope (or binoculars), simulated x-ray vision, navigational devices, and many more. Aside from your imagination, the only limitations upon animated masks are that motion paths cannot be used to animate a mask, and that layers within buttons cannot be masked.

To begin with, we need to make the content that will be visible on its own layer beneath the mask and the mask content. For this example, we mask some text so that it appears to be spot lit. The text we use is MMF5. Create this text on frame 1 and make it big and bold! See below.
This example of animated mask text is among the simplest uses for animated masks.
