FLASH: Two things happening in one scene?

[David Ellsworth]

Perhaps a newbie question, nonetheless...


I've got a animated color gradations flowing behind a masked text block on

the first two layers in a flash navbar file I'm working on.


I got all excited to learn how to do drop down menus on the Lynda Weinman

Flash 4 tapes and added them to the same scene. Of course now the smooth

animation for the color mask doesn't animate in favor of the drop downs due

to all the stop actions needed to Make the menus work properly.


What can I do? 


Can I put the mask on a separate scene? I want it to be animating separately

from the drop downs. Did I answer this myself?


Help!


Take a look here (work in progress):
