Photoshop CS2 clipping mask layer

In previous version of Photoshop, you could create a clipping mask by selecting a layer and either Command - G or click on the divider line between that layer and the one below.

Now, when I try the same thing (The new key command is Command - option - G) the top layer becomes invisible in the comp.

I tried calling it a dickhole, but it just ignored me.

Any help?

MC Tween Scripts

I like the Laco scripts but don't use them for Flash banners because they add about 6 or 7 k with the .as include. I know there is a built-in class you can import that lets you use very similar tweening functions:

Does anyone know how much if any increase in file size there is by importing this class?

Stage.height

Why does Flash get it wrong sometimes? Usually underestimating it by about 20%. If you don't believe me, I can post a .fla if necessary.

AS2 variable type

With AS2 commands are generally documented in this format:

var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

with a description of the variable as MovieClip Loader. I know the script window will recognize it already because of the _mcl in the name.

What is the benefit of using this? The scripts work fine without it. I'm missing something.

Flash Fonts

I'm comped out this storyboard using the font Rosewood and when I get to Flash, I can't see it in the menu, type it in the font field in the measurements pallet or even import type from Illustrator as a .swf.

Why does Flash ignore fonts and how can I prevent this bitch-assness from happening?

Flash Q: _level

I don't really understand the point of being picky with what level you use with createMovieClip()

because I just used this statement
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container... theLevel);

theLevel was set to -15000in the previous statement, but the image i load in covers everything else in the movie. Is there a way to set the level? Do I have to use swapDepths ?
