Description

Using masks in Adobe Animate CC 2015.2 and then rendering, results in an html file, which when viewed in the browser displays a white screen with no animation and no visuals. This was confirmed by creating a simple animation in Animate, with no masks, and rendering - which resulted in the correct visuals and animation being displayed when viewing the HTML file in the browser, and then applying a mask to the same file, masking the animation and then rendering - resulting in a blank screen when trying to view the HTML file in the browser.
