From a recent bitmap discussion about why the (0,0) of a bitmap is lower left, I assumed that would also be considered a start point...never assume.

In general, if the wrong part of the bitmap is being masked, undo, look at nodes, try another slice until it works... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Actually, this discussion has been very useful and gives me a good basic understanding of what is happening. Thanks all.
