You're drawing an outdoor scene: for a tree you scribble green on one layer and create a mask that blocks out the messy edges of the scribbling. Next you want to be looking at the scene through a window so you make a parent mask for the window. All of the messy edges of the tree will now be visible because the parent mask takes priority.
The effect is interesting: The submask layer doesn't take priority over the layer(s) that it is masking. If the parent mask would allow the masked layer(s) to be visible, those layers will still be visible. The submask layer can be used to make additional areas of layer(s) visible, but it will not prevent an area that it masks but is covered by the parent mask from being seen. See example in next comment...
@snickhill the effect is on 2:00 what it shows that there is a way to nest mask within another mask in flash which isn't possible in standard approach. :)
Layers can only be subject to one mask at a time. Even if you nest a mask layer within another mask layer using the technique illustrated in this video, the text layers will only be masked by the layers they're most directly mask-linked to - not both masks at one. In which case what have you achieved?
@AcridSpag did you try it? In this case all masks work. In this way we can nest another mask, lets say, in a global mask in animations, for example when we want to cut out unnecessary stuff that might be visible on resize without creating a MoviesClip or Graphic glass box and do it directly in timeline.
